Should anyone who holds Bitcoins and commits suicide  attribute his death to Bitcoin?  Bitcoins has experienced several times' high-profile collapses, it still recovers from the collapse. Though it is not near from the spring of Bitcoin, it will be a day for such a digital currency of high quality.

The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

I don't think anyone should ever take their own life over Bitcoin, or any other form of currency. It doesn't seem that her work was the only contributing factor for her committing suicide. She apparently had troubles in her personal life. This is a sad thing to see, and I wish she would have taken a different route. Suicide is rarely, if ever, a good option.

No it shouldn't. In this case it was attributed to stress and personal issues. Being the CEO of any company regardless of it being bitcoin related will be stressful.

SINGAPORE — A Singapore Coroner's Court has found that the American CEO of a virtual currency exchange committed suicide earlier this year in Singapore because of work and personal issues.

No more than someone who holds cash and commits suicide. The relevance is always going to be situational.

Although this is old news it still makes me sad.

The death is not attributable to Bitcoin, it is attributable to perceived personal failure combined with the perception that suicide is the only way out. I think there is more than one factor that contributed to this perception.

Yes, I remember reading about this months ago. So is this thread just rehashing old news for FUD purposes or what?

Remember Aaron Swartz, a 26 year old computer scientist who died defending the free flow of information.

Must have missed this news myself earlier in the year, such a shame to see someone like this take their own life because of personal and work problems. Nobody should ever feel like they can't continue in life.
