The libertarian party or a bunch of crypto bros? I don’t get why “libertarians” would care about this one guy?

Ulbricht's career represents many core values of a certain wing of today's Libertarians.

* unfettered and unregulated and anonymous weapons sales. * willful ignorance and rejection of any of the social costs of buying and selling hard drugs. * commerce that operates in a world that is difficult to be taxes by government entities, and ideally anonymously (even though bitcoin is the least anonymous thing in the world)

So are libertarians fighting for complete legalization of drugs? If so, why aren’t they pressing on Trump for that? Why wasn’t that an executive order vs pardoning this guy?

I don't think Trump actually has a lot of Core Beliefs besides do stuff that appears strong on tv.

A large portion of people at the Libertarian convention that Trump gave a speech at would prefer complete legalization of all drugs.

I think it's a belief that a lot of us arrive at early in our lives, many eventually grow out of it.

Very astute. What’s interesting to me is the ability for youth to discount this potential change, mostly because they just see the end result vs the journey. I know I was like that.
