For those who don't know, Paul has been one of the staunchest supporters of blockchain technology, especially graphene-based ones such as BitShares, Steem, and BEOS, giving both time and money to help build a decentralized future based on personal autonomy.

And in a world where it's easy to doubt the integrity of other people, Paul is one of the few people who I've never doubted. I think just about anyone who's met Paul in person feels the same way.

Paul, if you're reading this, please reconsider and fight as hard as you can. Our bodies can be wonderfully resilient and I've seen people come back from similar situations.
