What did Ross Ulbricht have to say about Bitcoin?

The founder of Silk Road is a visionary but his impatience got him where he is now. Although, in the interview, Ulbricht says that Bitcoin made him feel like anything was possible in this world. The idea of, Bitcoin, blockchain, and everything was exciting for him. But, he says, his excitement also made him impatient. And as we all know because of his lack of concentration towards a bigger picture, he lost his freedom.

Furthermore, he continues by saying that he saw dreams about Bitcoin and its growth. And in the last eight years, he actually saw it. Ross says when he went to hell it was the beginning days for bitcoin. He also adds that there were not many altcoins or forks and saw the crypto ecosystem as his own big family.

One day, he got a letter from a guy who wrote that he was grateful to Ross for bringing Silk Road Online. The guy thinks that where bitcoin is today is because of Ross. And this made Ulbricht really emotional but he worries that Silk Road may have made everything harder for them.
