FFS, @fuserleer
Since that devastating message yesterday, everyone’s been screaming the loudest “FFS” possible.
It hurts. It’s unbelievable. I had a dream about Dan and immediately woke up in the night, and haven’t slept since. This one hurts to the core. In times like this, you really feel how much you care about a human being, about a vision, about a community, about his family and loved ones.
I’m thinking about our time in London, about his incredible “fake Satoshi” story that happened at the booth earlier that day.
Thinking about our countless internal Hyperscale tests(running it from a laptop, on battery, on WiFi) and breaking an unbelievable 200,000 TPS with small-scale participation.
Thinking about our incredible Babylon launch live stream. I think it was something like six hours long. A lot of guests, a lot of celebration, and best of all, Dan joining and sharing his joy about hitting that big milestone.
Thinking about his relentless dedication - day and night, seven days a week - living his dream, making it happen. Through unbelievable setbacks and disappointments, through a grueling multi-month restructure. He kept going, he kept believing, while so many were pointing fingers and leaving.
But his core community was there. Around him. Until the end. And when I read all these messages, I see a lot of grief, a lot of tears, but also a sense of “now more than ever,” and the mentality to get Dan’s vision over the finish line. I’m more than ready to be a part of that as I see a wave of people sharing the same energy and defiance.
Whatever happens, all my thoughts and condolences go to his family and loved ones.
And I’ll never forget you, my personal hero. Who got me into this journey through his unbelievable Twitch live streams, sharing decentralized Twitter and “Radflix videos” running on a ledger: https://t.co/VC91eFX5H5
FFS.
Dan Hughes changed the course of my life in ways he probably never knew. He laughed at some of my memes, but he also opened my eyes to what crypto could be. I learned how to use crypto properly and minted my first NFTs on Radix.
Thank you, Dan. You’ll be deeply missed.
Deeply saddened by the loss of Dan Hughes - a pioneer, a visionary, a relentless force who never gave up.
It was a true privilege to work alongside Dan and witness thousands of people come together through his vision, determination, and belief in what is possible.
He will be deeply missed - but never forgotten.
His legacy will live on. Rest in peace @fuserleer
It’s hard to find the words with news such as this.
@fuserleer wasn’t just the founder of Radix. He was its core.
His conviction, clarity, and refusal to accept “good enough” inspired me and many others.
Dan and I shared countless deep conversations over the years.
About DeFi, sure. But also about human things. Being dads, cars, music, and much more.
He had an unwavering belief that systems, if built properly, could unlock a fairer future. He was brilliant, stubborn, kind, and unapologetically himself.
The Radix we’re building today exists because Dan refused to follow the crowd. He stepped back, rethought the whole thing from first principles, and built something no one else dared to.
Losing him is devastating. But what he built is real, it’s working, and it will endure.
We’ll honour Dan by building with the same rigour, humility, and ambition that defined him.
Builders are building.
Creators are creating.
The Radix Ecosystem is thriving. 🌱
