This is really disheartening. Paul (@onceuponatime) was an advocate for Steem, Bitshares, and BEOS.
In my few interactions with him, it is clear where he stood: on the side of freedom. He was 100% against slavery and the system that is instilling it.
A guy like that doesn't come along everyday. The level of knowledge he carried was immense.
It saddens me that he is headed towards leaving this earthly form.
