According to the world's largest prediction market, Polymarket, the pro-Bitcoin candidate for the upcoming presidential election, Donald Trump has taken a 13% lead over Kamala Harris. There are huge stakes on the line regarding Bitcoin in this election; Trump promises favorable regulations compared to Harris's history of opposing the industry. This election presents a significant opportunity not just for favorable regulation but also for freeing Ross Ulbricht, a pivotal figure in Bitcoin's early days.
Taking into account all public information regarding Harris, there is absolutely no evidence to suggest that she would support the Bitcoin industry, let alone advocate for freeing Ross Ulbricht. Bitcoin enthusiasts have long sought to liberate Ross from his sentence, and this topic has been a frequent point of discussion in Bitcoin conferences over the past several years. For many in the Bitcoin community, freeing Ross could represent a monumental victory.
'I got out of the cell yesterday long enough to take a shower, call home and say 'hi' to a few friends in here,' said Ross through his X account run by his fiancée today. 'It felt really good to be out from between those 8x10ft walls and locked door and make contact with the free world.' After spending over 12 years in prison, Ross, now forty, yearns for the day he can reintegrate into society and lead a fulfilling life.
However, to achieve the goal of freeing Ross and to obtain favorable Bitcoin regulations, the community must rally together and work diligently to ensure a victory in this election, particularly since current predictions indicate we are 13% down. The stakes are much higher than they appear, and the Bitcoin community feels an urgent responsibility to fight not just for regulatory support, but for justice.
