I missed this story @etherpunk.
All I can say is "wow". One of the biggest proponents of bitcoin and the guy who did more to push it forward than any other human was broke. And here we all assumed he had a ton of BTC from early on. Simply amazing.
Kudos to you for supporting him and sending some btc to him. That is awesome that he got $2M in bitcoin. That shows the nature of the people who are bitcoiners. In fact, most of the cryptocurrency space is like that...good people.
