FFS,

Since that devastating message yesterday, everyone’s been screaming the loudest “FFS” possible.
It hurts. It’s unbelievable. I had a dream about Dan and immediately woke up in the night, and haven’t slept since. This one hurts to the core. In times like this, you really feel how much you care about a human being, about a vision, about a community, about his family and loved ones.
I’m thinking about our time in London, about his incredible “fake Satoshi” story that happened at the booth earlier that day.
Thinking about our countless internal Hyperscale tests(running it from a laptop, on battery, on WiFi) and breaking an unbelievable 200,000 TPS with small-scale participation.
Thinking about our incredible Babylon launch live stream. I think it was something like six hours long. A lot of guests, a lot of celebration, and best of all, Dan joining and sharing his joy about hitting that big milestone.
Thinking about his relentless dedication - day and night, seven days a week - living his dream, making it happen. Through unbelievable setbacks and disappointments, through a grueling multi-month restructure. He kept going, he kept believing, while so many were pointing fingers and leaving.
But his core community was there. Around him. Until the end. And when I read all these messages, I see a lot of grief, a lot of tears, but also a sense of “now more than ever,” and the mentality to get Dan’s vision over the finish line. I’m more than ready to be a part of that as I see a wave of people sharing the same energy and defiance.
Whatever happens, all my thoughts and condolences go to his family and loved ones.
And I’ll never forget you, my personal hero. Who got me into this journey through his unbelievable Twitch live streams, sharing decentralized Twitter and “Radflix videos” running on a ledger:
