Ross Ulbricht will address attendees of Bitcoin 2025 this May in Las Vegas, marking his first public appearance since being granted a pardon by President Trump earlier this year. This moment is especially significant for the Bitcoin community, which has long rallied for Ulbricht’s release and views his story as a powerful symbol of personal freedom and resistance to state overreach. https://x.com/RealRossU/status/1910391357962936547
Ulbricht first spoke to the conference in 2021 through a recorded phone interview from prison, sharing his thoughts on Bitcoin and freedom from behind bars. Through his Silk Road court battle and appeals, Ross became a focal point in the conversation around internet privacy, individual liberty, and the role of Bitcoin in protecting both. His return to the public stage is a historic moment for a movement that sees him as more than a man—he’s a freedom fighter.
