 Neither Trump or Biden are our allies. Politicians are psychopathic liars that will say anything for votes, and voting is rigged.

Ross Ulbricht is an ally, and unless he escapes prison, his freedom relies on the actions of a president. That's his awful prison reality.

We owe a lot of Bitcoin's success to The Silk Road. "Fuck you money" isn't about buying coffee or food. It's about the transactions governments say you're not allowed to make. 

Bitcoin is worthless without this characteristic.

Do what you can to help Ross, even if you know a particular action, like signing a petition or voting, is symbolic at best. Even if it's a longshot, a hail Mary, a near impossibility.

 As you just said, Bitcoin needs to stop being compliant and go back to being adversarial. 
 Yes!  The absolute best thing that could happen is bitcoin be declared illegal to own and use.  Best for us.  Bitcoin is running.   
 Not necessarily that. Just embrace that it's not a patch to fix the system, but a new system. 
 Word. "Fuck you money" is not an amount
