Ross Ulbricht is releasing a new collection of NFTS called ‘The Growth Collection”. The founder of Silk Road, the darknet marketplace, Ross is currently serving two life sentences without the possibility of parole plus 40 years for his creation of an online marketplace.
The Ross Ulbricht NFTs will auction, and bidding will take place over two days, between the 6th and 8th of April. The NFTs will feature on the Scarce.city platform from April 5th. This date is significant as it is the creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto’s birthday.
Ross Ulbricht is putting his time to good use, creating art, NFTs, and trying to help others. However, he and others are fighting to lower his sentence due to the length given and the fact the crime was none violent and that it was a first-time offence. Basically, Ross will never get out of prison unless the government allows it.
The Ross Ulbricht Growth Collection is helping others
The Ross Ulbricht Growth Collection contains four physical oil paintings and one animation of 318 hand-drawn frames. What’s more, there are five corresponding Bitcoin NFTs. Bitcoin was the only way to trade on Silk Road in the beginning. Cryptocurrency enthusiasts are adamant that Ross played a considerable role in blockchain adoption.
This collection highlights the importance of the Bitcoin community. Furthermore, it recognizes how they have supported him during his ten years in jail.
What’s more, the money raised from the NFTs is helping children with parents in jail. Ross Ulbricht is trying to help others whilst he is locked up too. In a recent tweet, he said, “From the beginning with this NFT, I’ve wanted to help kids travel to see their moms and dads in prison. But with such high bids, we can now have a real impact on many other important causes as well.”
