CZ retweets a tweet about Ross Ulbricht, reaffirming the early spirit of Bitcoin

On January 22nd, Binance CEO CZ recently reviewed the spiritual core of Bitcoin's early days with Vijay Boyapati's tweet about Ross Ulbricht. The tweet mentioned that Ross Ulbricht, as a symbolic figure in the early days of Bitcoin, has attracted much attention for creating decentralized markets such as Silk Road and advocating the idea of freedom of peaceful and voluntary transactions. He has expressed his deep belief in freedom through articles and hopes to make the world a better place through Bitcoin. The tweet emphasized that although Ulbricht was a first-time criminal and did not commit violence, he received a severe sentence, which was seen in the early Bitcoin community as a blow to the idea of a decentralized revolution. Nowadays, as Bitcoin becomes more widely accepted, the tweet calls for not forgetting the original profound significance of Bitcoin, with wealth growth being just a by-product of its higher goals.
