being a prepper he obviously knows about coloidal silver

so type 4 hep c would be no probs for him to cure,

note Zerohedge which was initially negative towards

bitcoin and missed out on the gold rush, have tried to

put a slight negative spin by using the word bizzare

good old fashioned likin ur wounds tyler

I hope the dude gets well soon. He's a genuine weirdo but also an original and the world needs more people like him.

yeah hope he dosnt get too sick partying in the bahamas

i doubt coloidal silver can help too much with alcohol poisioning

and late nights, not to mention sliping off table tops while

dancing when drunk

Why would you hate on this guy? From all of the CEOs out there, last time I checked he was pro-Bitcoin. Now, I don't know if he is one of those Classic shills or not, but in any case I don't think making assumptions about stuff and sort of saying that he deserves it or something is cool, I think its insane. Are you saying that he is ill because he parties a lot? I dont get it.

Wasn't Patrick Byrne at the EuroMoney20/20 event recently? I bet he would have loved to be at Overstock until they issue their public blockchain security. This announcement does seem sudden.

Dam sorry to hear such bad news, lets hope he gets better soon.  The good thing is he can afford a well earned rest.  Bitcoin is weaker for this period i think.

Probably too much cocaine & caviar. Hope he gets better soon though genuinely.

Can you become sick by caviar? Is there really a way to overdose those fish eggs?
Man the bold and beautiful really seem to have big problems!! :D

Patrick Byrne is a legend and he fought for Bitcoin when others thought he was crazy. He has paved the way for bigger businesses to start accepting Bitcoin and he continued

doing it ever since. He has a long history of fighting different illnesses and we have to support him through this too. Patrick ...If you reading this, I want to thank you for what

you have done for this Bitcoin community and I hope you will fight this illness as you have done before and you will come out of this one.. stronger and better than before. We

Salute you for your contribution!!!!

Lets hope he get well soon.

I don't get it either.   I feel bad he has had this problem since 1984 and what a human being to keep going and eventually be one of the largest e-tailers.  I like this guy and like the fact he is pro-bitcoin.  I hope he gets better, people like that always do.

Interesting he is spiraling down so quick,must have abused his body a bit more than the average. My mother just went through the treatment and had it since the late 60s and they say a large majority of the boomers have it from lax practices back in the day. My mom was through a IV for dehydration in India along the hippy trail. How he let it progress so far along with out finding out is odd,especially with all his money,you would think that he could afford the treatment,its only $1K a pill for 10 weeks and even cheaper if you go to India.

Wow, that's unfortunate. Best wishes to 'em.  :-\

"its only $1K a pill for 10 weeks"

Are you fucking kidding me. That is a lot of money for 99% of people out there, it's insane. In this case this would chump change from him tho.
I guess the guy was too busy building his empire and is high stress that is always associated with running big businesses got the best of him.

Its actually dropped a lot in price and in my moms case she paid $300 for everything since it was covered by her insurance.

He is in indefinite medical leave of absence. We hope he gets well soon.
Obviously he is  CEO so he must be very rich in bitcoins.

Well I wish him a speedy recovery. By the way I don't know why Overstock is so popular when last time I checked there for a new laptop I couldn't even find the model I was looking for and it was a newly launched model at that and the rest of the machines of that brand were all refurbished units with expensive price tags almost on par with new ones. What the heck?! Have you guys even bought something from Overstock? I think it's overpriced and badly itemized.

I think he deserves the break from work... hope he gets well very soon.

Hep C is a deadly disease, which may result in liver damage and even require transplant. Hospital transmission of Hep C is not uncommon, but definitely preventable.

Best Wishes! He is a great tech visionary person. I hope the best for him!

the guy is high profile to bitcoiners because he has place in bitcoin. hope he will get well soon and do something great in bitcoin development.

Even though this guy appears to be kind of loopy (probably a bit more than kind of), this guy has at least some minor method to his madness, and I personally think he's made good choices.

I hope he gets well soon, but you never know.

Less than ideal conditions.  What was the doctor sewing up the wound with, used thread?  Makes no sense.

Funny, on the topic of colloidal silver I was just talking about argyria (colloidal silver storage/poisoning in the body) last week.  It's bad stuff and is quack medicine.

Most likely linked to the procedures/ instruments used. It is really a very common infection in many hospital due to human errors.

he can wish for and do anything since he is so rich. ;) but Byrne has a long history of medical problems, hope he recovers as soon as possilbe

Hep C is transmitted blood to blood.   It's not common to get it in hospitals at all, sorry to disagree with you.  In fact that's why those stories you linked made the news.  How do you think someone gets it from having a wound sutured?

You need to research more, it was not till recently depending on your age, that people could get it from a lot of different aspects that involved the medical care. My mom got it in India travelling through a IV for dehydration but blood transfusions are another way. It was not till the mid eighties that they realized hep c was a potential issue. I looked into this a lot when my mom mentioned it because there was a chance I was born with it, but that is rare.

Why do

You type

Like this

It's very annoying

You need to learn

Punctuation plz



I hope he gets well soon. He's most probably gotten an infection from a reused medical tool

India, I'm not surprised.   

Transmission is blood-blood and acquiring hep c whilst in a 1st world hospital is not a common occurrence.   What else do you think I should research,  your highness?

So those effected are just a myth for you?
Honestly did not think you where this big of a dick.
Not going to talk to some one about something personal when this is the response you get in return.

If he gets real lucky it might even progress to Liver cancer.

Of course that's sarcasm.

Thanks for your comments. I am not sure if you are really a pharmacist... but I guess if you are/were one, and have worked in a hospital setting before, hmmm.... not sure if you will then think otherwise... BTW, I was a hospital pharmacist...

I am for getting behind him and wishing him well! I bought stock in Overstock many years ago because of his leadership.
Byrne rocks as a CEO, wish there were more like him...
and less whiney *****s who never have done a dang thing except blathering on about a man when he has been in a few fights for his life.
He has backed our bitcoin...let's suck it up buttercups and wish him all good things.

I blame the bilderberg group. They've always wanted him out of the picture.

I didn't hate on him

ur exposing urself to being incredibly stupid

bad idea with a big acc

have u heard of colloidal silver?

fous on what i write not ur

predilusions and wat u will be posting

later with ur second third and fouth accts

I pray for his successful recovery.
