Why It Matters: Ulbricht's optimism stemmed from repeated assurances by Trump's repeated assurances during election campaigns that he would pardon Ulbricht if voted back to power.
为何重要：Ulbricht的乐观主要源自特朗普在竞选期间多次保证，如果再次当选，他将赦免Ulbricht。
"And if you vote for me, on Day One, I will commute the sentence of Ross Ulbricht," Trump said during the Libertarian National Convention in March.
“如果你投我一票，在第一天，我将赦免Ross Ulbricht的刑罚，”特朗普在3月份的自由党全国大会上说。
Trump's remarks were seen as a bid to court Libertarian voters, who have long lobbied for Ulbricht's release.
特朗普的言论被视为争取长期游说释放乌尔布赖希的自由派选民的企图。
Polymarket bettors placed 77% odds in favor of Trump pardoning Ulbricht in the first 100 days of his administration.
Polymarket的赌徒押注77%的赔率支持特朗普在他执政的头100天内赦免乌尔布赖希。
The Silk Road website was created in 2011 and was eventually shut down by the FBI in 2013 after Ulbricht's arrest. The platform was the hotbed of the illegal trade of heroin, cocaine, LSD, and other drugs, all by paying in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC).
丝绸之路网站于2011年创建，最终在2013年乌尔布赖希被捕后被FBI关闭。该平台是海洛因、可卡因、LSD等毒品的非法交易热点，所有交易都是通过比特币（加密货币: BTC）支付完成。
