Love you man. I hope it never goes away.
Gratitude is powerful.
We are all so grateful and happy for you Ross!
I hope that joy never leaves.
May it never go away. 🙏
I have hope for all mankind to experience this. Bitcoin seems like it will bring it to many.
Implied hint to readers. You better behave or you won't be free
There are an infinite amount of prisons to break out of
It is only when we lose our freedom that we realize its value. 🧡
Rock on Ross, can't wait to work with you on a huge project you will love.
Time and perspective, nothing else.
Each time it hits you:
1) close your eyes
2) find at least two physical sensations in your body
3) do nothing, feel them fully, surrender, until those sensations fully abate
You’re free! Keep shining brother.
🧡

We’re glad to have you back among us. 🫂
Glad your free!

Freedom will never ever go away. And you’ll have to keep fighting for it. Daily.
Actually you’re just free-er. We’re still living under a global satanic power structure that needs to be upended.
I get this too.
kinda strange since the only person who confines me is myself.
True freedom hits differently every time, it’s a joy that never really fades. ✨🕊️
Never take your freedom for granted. 🫡

There was a time I was so terribly sick with a chronic disease that I was convinced my time on this earth was very short. I was in my mid to late 40's and not ready to die. It was life changing. Priorities shift away from materialism. Although our circumstances were different, I understand being granted a 2nd chance. No I don't think the feeling you described goes away for long. Enjoy freedom fren.
In the course of time, all curses become blessings.
Fly free 🕊️
GM, Ross. It's wonderful to be reminded of the importance of freedom, but I hope you're taking care of yourself and healing well. What happened to you was a cruel and unjust punishment. We're glad to have you back with us. 🫂
How jealous are you of the DNM operators that had better opsec than you and never got caught?
Do you regret what you did? Or are you proud of it?
Stack sats and stay humble.
I can't imagine what it must have felt like to be sentenced to prison for life.
I'm sure your freedom feels weird. If I were you, I'd be seeking out that judge and demanding he apologizes to you face-to-face.
I was also targeted and falsely charged and incarcerated. I wept when I touched a living plant for the first time in almost two years.
We are relatively free now, but those same dark forces want to chain us all.
It will take a few years but eventually will go away.
When I first loaded this comment from Ross the app only showed an npub and no image, I was thinking it was a random pleb like me. We are all free thanks to Bitcoin.

The irony: When waiting for the Digital ID prison?

There are times when I'm in the middle of doing something and I stop because it just hits me all over again:
DEAR GOD, I'M FREE!!!
That wave of disbelief and joy overcomes me, just like it did when I walked free the first time. I wonder if it'll ever go away?

Those moments in time
That alter reality
Will last forever

While dark, this seems more and more true, not just for Ross, but everyone in currently more-or-less free countries. This needs to be fought on every level possible - privacy tech, lobbying, political parties where applicable (won't work in US), and most of all informing people who don't know - mainstream media rarely if ever does. For example, I doubt 10% of people here in EU know about Chat Control 2.0 or the other surveillance/censorship stuff in the pipeline, despite the former being discussed and almost implemented several times, for years.
I don't know what's holding people up. Risk? There are many essentially risk-free things to do. Time? It doesn't have to take any considerable amount. Money? 0.1% of a whale's stack, or 0.1% of several millions of regular people's should do quite a lot.
I can't speak from experience per se, but it seems like theoretically the rate at which you experience these moments will reduce asymptotically towards 0 over the course of the rest of your life.
Ebbinghaus's forgetting curve suggests this.
Interesting, another idea to study 📚
Hi! sorry guys, we’re trying to boost our Geyser, any help is greatly appreciated 🙏🏻 have a blessed day! Anything helps 🙏🏻
So happy for you
i think ten of your best years in prison you will never forget
Do you have dreams where you are still locked up? Waking up from that must feel so good every time.
OK. She looks dead behind the eyes. Ross should seek her out and demand she publicly apologizes to him...
On video...
In front of the world...
And she must show absolute contrition while doing so, for doing that to him.
It's a public service for all of us, that when a judge abuses somebody's freedom while protected by law, they don't just hide away from their victims without facing the consequences.
In fact, I just found her business email on one of those pages you linked. I just sent her my opinion of her actions, and what I expect her to do about it.
I suggests everybody else does too: kforrest@paulweiss.com
Been where you have before, and I can tell you, that the gratitude is eternal when it comes to freedom my brother.🙏
Stay blessed. 🙌
Free of one prison. Sin is another.
Hope it doesn’t
Be grateful every day

#most-zapped_nostr_recap
Maybe you could use this to develop a movie.
The idea would be to share with people who have always been free the concept: It might be difficult, like explaining colors to a blind person, but I think current films have failed to drive the idea strong enough.
Freedom is priceless.
Well on the flip side; I spent 7 months inside (2 in SHU), released in April, and I barely even think about it or remember it.
Falsely charged as well, convicted for a #MeToo post, revoked and incarcerated for refusing to delete the entire website that the post was on, and once in, sent to the SHU at FDC Houston for 10 days for refusing housing and again for 45 days by Elizabeth Holmes because I wanted to protest our conditions at FPC Bryan (she claimed I threatened her). Released in April. I barely remember it. Dark forces won’t keep you down. You’ll forget it too.
Not very free at all. The same system that put you in is still the same system ruling your life. My prosecutor still threatens to hit me with new indictments. It was a #MeToo post but they want to claim aggravated identity theft. You’re not free until you leave the US.
You'll notice I wasn't asking you.

I wish you a happy life....Thank you
What a powerful feeling — and such a testament to everything you’ve come through. 🙏✨
Those sudden waves of joy and disbelief are reminders of how far you’ve traveled and how deeply freedom can reshape a life. Whether they fade or stay with you, they’re part of your story and your strength.
Thanks for sharing something so real. Your reflection will resonate with more people than you know.

You have an interesting story to tell…
Question is — do you regret what you did? 🤔
