This is an odd one I'm sure, for bitcoin talk, in a round about way.
About a week ago, a close friend of mine, whom I introduced to bitcoin some months ago, hit me with news I did not see coming. This guy is the type of guy who in the mid of absolute anarchy would turn around and say everything is fine. A strong, hard soul.
Over the past 2 years or so, his child has been battling with illness and given the nature of this illness, he has taken loans out to cover Bill's. I had asked in the past how is everything going and the response was always, "all good" but it turns out, it's not so good.
He informed me by showing me a "blog" post he had written on medium, that he alone is over 14K in debt, not including is partners 15K. All accumulated due to medical expense. He mentions in the post that he should had never been accepted for these loans and could not afford health insurance so had to take them.
The letter he wrote is titled "an open letter to satoshi nakamoto" and he delves into why he is writing it.
It's very sad to see a man I, in some ways, idealised for his strong being and mental strength, do such things and not knowing how bad things are made it worse.
In the letter he states that he Hope's Satoshi is real and reads his letter, not for what he wants to receive but for what it will mean to receive it. I get where is going but me personally, I probably wouldn't do this but the again, I've never been in such a situation, not eith my kids anyway.
But, let's be real for a second. As we all know, either Satoshi is dead, was never a singler or has just vanished and I believe his letter will more than likely be never read by satoshi.
My friend, Michael, thought it would be best to write the letter on medium... just to give you an idea of how little he is involved in bitcoin but loves and believes in its value. So, I have taken it upon myself, in the case that just possibly satoshi actually is around, that here would be the best place to for it? to see the letter.

- would be worth more than market value anyway lol.
Wither or not Satoshi does or doesn't ever see the letter, remember, just as a human being:
Strong we may feel. Brave we can be but life, can and will get on top of you, especially with children involved but, at the end of the day, we have health, we have family and we have friends. People help people and never ever stop asking if the ones you love are alright, even if they say they are, one day it could all just come out.
Thanks for the read.
