Overstock CEO so rich of Bitcoin takes medical leave of absence

[Bitcoinpro]

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.

[WhatTheGox]

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.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

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!!

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!!!!

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.

[DimensionZ]

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.

[chek2fire]

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

[Hirose UK]
