Ross Ulbricht received a 300 BTC donation after his talk at Bitcoin 2025. Do you think it was a real donation or reclaiming his own Bitcoin after 12 years in prison?
Der Founder von Silk Road, Ross Ulbricht, hat nach seinem Talk auf der Bitcoin 2025 Konferenz eine Großspende von 300 Bitcoin erhalten. Das sind derzeit umgerechnet ungefähr 30 Millionen Dollar.
Seitdem gibt es Spekulationen, ob es sich wirklich um eine anonyme, extrem großzügige Spende gehandelt hat, oder ob sich Ross die Bitcoin vielleicht selbst überwiesen und es irgendwie geschafft hat, die Bitcoin in Sicherheit zu bringen, bevor er verhaftet worden ist.
Beide Szenarien haben etwas für sich. Es könnte sich tatäschlich um einen Milliardär handeln, der Ross finanziell unterstützen möchte.
Sollte sich Ross die Bitcoin tatsächlich selbst überwiesen haben, zeugt es davon, dass Bitcoin nicht konfiszierbar ist.
Ich freue mich jedenfalls, dass Ross Ulbricht wieder frei ist, sowohl physisch als auch finanziell.
Was sagt ihr dazu? Denkt ihr, war es tatsächlich eine Spende oder sind das seine eigenen Bitcoin?

The founder of Silk Road, Ross Ulbricht, received a large donation of 300 Bitcoin after his talk at the Bitcoin 2025 conference. That is currently equivalent to approximately $30 million.
Since then, there has been speculation as to whether this was really an anonymous, extremely generous donation, or whether Ross may have transferred the Bitcoin himself and somehow managed to secure it before he was arrested.
Both scenarios have merit. It could indeed be a billionaire who wants to support Ross financially.
If Ross did indeed transfer the Bitcoin to himself, it proves that Bitcoin cannot be confiscated.
In any case, I am glad that Ross Ulbricht is free again, both physically and financially.
What do you think? Do you think it was actually a donation or reclaiming his own Bitcoin?
who would just donate $30 million? i think he transferred it to himself.
This is too much money. It's hard to believe that so much was donated.
Nicht konfiszierbar stimmt ja so nicht, wurden ja schon sehr viele, wäre nur dann nicht, wenn man seinen Schlüssel im Kopf hat.
Wenn man den auf einer Festplatte oder sonst wo hat ist es das eben möglich.
Wenn man Geld gut versteckt, sind die auch nicht konfiszierbar
30 bitcoin that's a lot, I don't think someone would make such a donation lol

Come get MOONed!
Schwer zu beurteilen. Am Ende ist das aber halt ein Feature von Bitcoin. Peer-2-Peer was erstmal anonym ist.

I think it's too much to be a donation
I think Ross has way more than 300 Bitcoins stashed away.
That is a huge amount of Bitcoin to become a donation
Good for Him he still remembers his Private key...
Krasse Aktion :-)
I don't think it is a donation
Such a big amount as a donation may not seem likely however, what I make out of this is simply that Bitcoin is such a reliable asset.
After such a long time, the Bitcoin that has just been claimed, in whatever way, will be making a pretty good profit at the moment. There is a big difference between the price then and the price now.
I don't know because there just isn't enough information. It could be either scenarios though.
Beides möglich. Aber klingt schon ein wenig verdächtig :D
