Farewell

[o_e_l_e_o]

Without giving away too much personal info, I have a chronic disease. I've had this disease for a decade and have had a lot of treatment for it, but it is winning. I likely only have a few months left. And so, I bid you all farewell. I'll be spending as much of my remaining time as possible with my family. In a week or so, once this thread has run its course, I'll ask theymos to lock this account.

I have learnt a lot from many of you, and I hope many of you have learnt something from me. Although we will never meet, I would have loved to share a beer with many of you, and I hope you'll remember me fondly.

Such a sad news! How I wish I have all it takes to take it all away, because you are a great contributor to this forum. It is really hard to say farewell because we are like a family here. Well, we can have faith even when it look impossible.... that is the least we can do.

Whatever be the case, you made your impact here and will be fondly remembered for your input in the Bitcoin community. You are loved and cherished and will always be.

[Charles-Tim]

I wish this not to be true. A true hero is leaving us. I just wish it not to be true is my wish. I will really miss you. I can never forget you because you are one of the people in life that I gained knowledge from. My staying on this forum has taught me enough lessons in life and you have been one of the members that was helpful. It is said to see something like this.

[Z-tight]

F**k, this is unbelievable and truly sad. You are the best poster in this forum in my honest opinion, and most of the things i have learnt about BTC, i learnt it from you. Now i appreciate all you have done and impacted in this forum even more, knowing you did it while going through a really tough time in real life.

The entire forum is with you and your family in this hard time. Sending you peace and love.

[Bch219]

This is truly heartbreaking news for the forum; I recall reading your comments on several of my threads, as well as asking you some questions about which I was unsure, and all of your responses were very informative, which fueled my desire to learn more about Bitcoin.

When I read through your profile and some of your posts, I wondered how long this user had been in bitcoin to have acquired this level of knowledge. Is he one of the Bitcoin developers?

Indeed, the bitcoin technical board will miss you greatly. I'm not sure why, but I'm just overjoyed that I had the opportunity to interact with such a great man as you - I suppose it's the same feeling that those who interacted with Satoshi had during his time.

Thank you for all of your help to those in need; hopefully, other legends whose posts I've read will continue the work and fill the void you're leaving.  Legends include @hosseinimr93, @BitMaxz, @NotATether, @nc50lc, @pooya87, @seek3r, @apogio, @BlackHatCoiner, and many others whom I have yet to interact with.

Farewell, Leo.

[apogio]

This is the first time in my life that I cried for someone I don't even know.

Sorry for being a coward and crying.

Thanks for existing in this part of our lives. You are indeed a treasure for this community. I am sure you are also a treasure for the people that know who you are in real life.

Farewell Leo, farewell...

These are the types of news we don’t like to hear about (prominent)/members of this forum. It is so sad reading in between the lines of your post and how disheartening that you’re going to be leaving the forum. All the years you’ve spent here, thank you for all your efforts to make the forum and bitcoin a reliable course to know about in this century. I am wishing you a farewell and we hope to see you beat that disease and win over it because we still want you here and you’re much loved and appreciated for all that you do here. Sorry for the pains Leo, you shall be healthy and we pray to hear good news soon.

[Nheer]

Tears in my eyes as i read this, it so sad reading such news and hearing this forum will be losing another wonderful person, a hero that would always be remembered as a hero. You have impacted so much knowledge to us and have contributed greatly in this forum i wish you the very best. You will be missed and will forever stay in our hearts. My prayers are with you. Farewell Leo

Bro, I hope you're lying for some anonymity or other kind of reason and that you're not terminally ill.  Seriously.

If you are telling the truth, I'm so sorry for you and hope a medical miracle happens.  You brought a lot to the forum since you've been here, and you established an excellent reputation right from the get-go.  I just checked to see when you registered, and you've been a member longer than I thought but I remember you coming here and spreading knowledge like very few newcomers do.

Take care of yourself for however long you've got left on the big blue marble.  You'll be missed.

[hugeblack]

You are a wonderful person, so strong and brave. You have good information , ready to listen to others and dialogue with them while giving them all the necessary information.
I hope you will be around for longer than a few months, but remember that even if you are not around, your posts are there and everyone will continue to quote them for years.

Be healthy and have fun with family and friends. You'll be missed.

[Zaguru12]

In as much as I still don’t believe this yet I will say please do not give up all hope, the disease isn’t winning you will conquer it and will be with us for a very long time to come in the future. I wouldn’t say farewell for now because I believe you will have more years to live with us. Just take your prescriptions serious, stay close to love ones and do not by any chance have any iota of giving up.

I have learnt a lot from many of you, and I hope many of you have learnt something from me. Although we will never meet, I would have loved to share a beer with many of you, and I hope you'll remember me fondly.

I have learnt almost everything about bitcoin technical from your corrections, suggestions and comments and I hope to still get them again. Please do not give up hope

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Oh wow, tears almost dropped from my eyes reading this. I wasn't expecting to be reading this kind of sad story at this early time of the year. As many as we are on this forum, we might not have all met each other, but we are all like one large family, sharing different ideas and learning from one another in almost every area of life. Honestly, I have learned a lot from you, sir, o_e_l_e_o, about security and privacy, and it's not just easy on me that you will be leaving us soon like you said.

I feel very sorry about this situation you are facing. All I can say is, let the will of God be done in your life. Miracle is of the Good Lord; remember Mark 5:25–34 KJV and also John 11:1-41 NIV. Faith is the key.

In as much as bitcoin learning and knowledge is concerned, you are indeed a legend in this forum, you are always here to share the right information when needed, and you have guide so many people here into the right part.
You will always remain in our heart because you a public figure in Bitcointalk.
I am wishing you all the best and your family.

[Lucius]

~snip~

I would also completely agree with your statement, and I would like that to be the case. However, given that @o_e_l_e_o is one of those who really values his privacy, we will have to accept that what he wrote is true and hope that his departure to another world will be as painless as possible.

In any case, the forum will lose one of the great contributors when it comes to the vast amount of knowledge he shared with others. I can say that I learned a lot from you, and for consolation, that knowledge will continue to spread among other members in the future.

Vivamus, Moriendum Est.

[PytagoraZ]

I'm sure no one likes being lied to, but for now I would be happy if it turned out you were lying.

I can only pray for your recovery and don't give up buddy, sometimes miracles come at the last moment and we are waiting for you to come back to the forum someday.

As far as I know, humans are born to share with others and that's something you often do on forums. I hope you find goodness wherever you are. I don't know you personally but honestly the news from you makes me sad, this forum is like second family for me. Even though separation is something certain, I am always not ready to separate

[examplens]

Oh shit, what did I read here?
I'm very sorry to hear this, I guess we can't help you at all. Thank you for your contribution here, you are one of the few members without whom this forum will not be the same. I thought I would be able to say something encouraging, but I'm just pretty upset.

Sorry, I can't give you merit for this post, because I'd rather it was a mistake and it would be deleted.

[Churchillvv]

Can't really say more or less about your contributions to the forum. But sure you're a great person, i have been reading your posts recently because I wanted to be as aquatinted as you with bitcoin knowledge. Circumstances happens and its probably in your sit right now, be rest assured that we all will miss the quality times you spent here.

Hoping things turn the other ways! But if not, if possible see at the other side model.

Just look at my signature space and comprehend it's meaning.

-Much love-

I'm truly sorry to hear about your situation. Your strength and courage in facing this challenge is truly inspiring. You've made a positive impact in this community. The news of your illness saddens me deeply, but your words reflect a deep sense of connection and gratitude you’ve made here and have left a lasting impression.
Wishing you peaceful and meaningful moments filled with love with your family and loved ones in the time ahead, your presence will be remembered by those you've touched. Take care.
I hate farewell
