Thanks for sharing that Reddit post!  Hal seemed to be the perfect partner for Satoshi.  Technical skills combined with a natural curiosity and humility to give Bitcoin a chance to succeed.  

I hope people don't take this as a terrible shill, but we recently read and discussed Hal's article on our pod. Available on most apps or here:

Satoshi & Hal should each get Nobel Prizes and chapters in all the future history books.

Found this on reddit- it gave me chills to read.  I've treated a lot of patients who are terminally ill for a variety of different reasons and I'm always surprised that some people manage to stay so positive, no matter how much adversity they experience.  Sure I'm paralyzed, fed through a tube and on a breathing machine but life is good!  Have to wonder if he is Satoshi- ALS is such a terrible disease, it would certainly be a good excuse to take a back seat.
