NEW: President Trump just pardoned Russ Ulbricht  — founder of Silk Road — the first website to take #bitcoin as tender. 

This is a huge deal for the crypto community and sends a broader, important message to the world:

In America — we value our technology disrupters. 

Putting Russ away forever (literally) because he had the foresight to understand an opportunity…that would indeed become the world’s future….before the Feds could grasp it was WRONG. 

America has always been a place of creativity and opportunity. Trump just signaled to economic disrupters, including those in the crypto community, that America is ON YOUR SIDE. 🇺🇸

Congrats on your freedom, Russ.
