Aw fuck dude, I must have missed this thread right up until now. I'd be lying if I said it didn't make me a little emotional--yahoo62278, I don't exactly know you in real life, but I still remember the deal we did a long time ago for some Nintendo things and it was the first time I'd even come close to connecting someone from the forum to the real world.

And I've always respected you as well. I haven't read the whole thread yet and I'll bet o_e_l_e_o has posted something based on his medical knowledge. I don't have his training, but even though your heart is seemingly old you're still a young man and, as I've always said, as long as you're still breathing there's always hope. If you've got to get a new heart, I hope you get it soon. Sounds like you've had a similar runaround with doctors that I've experienced, but goddamn I'm glad they figured out what the root cause of your problem is.

I'll send a donation as soon as I get some BTC. You're in my thoughts and prayers, man.

Thanks for the words my man. o_e_l_e_o has reached out and offered to chat and help anytime I feel I may need to chat. Very nice person. It took me a couple times but I think they have finally gotten me to the right doctors. Doesn't make anything less scary but it does make me feel I have competent people working on my case.

So sorry, bud Cry

What you have gone through is depressing and heartbreaking. Life comes at us so fast, doesn't it? I got to know more about you around 2018, and you were very popular with campaign management (You still are).
There was a time you slowed down in your campaign management career, and I wondered what had gone wrong. In fact, I was tempted to send you a PM, but I just let it go thinking maybe I would bother you with unsolicited messages. Little did I know that you were going through a lot.

Hang in there, my friend, we are in this together. I pray the surgery is successful, and you recover positively. If all goes well with my trades, I promise to make a small donation Wink

Thank you

A sad story that I have heard from forum users, at a young age you have lost someone who loves you the most in this world. After I read more deeply, I couldn't hold back my tears Cry

, I thought your suffering was over, but instead you were diagnosed with heart failure.

I can feel what you are feeling right now, there's not much I can do other than pray and hope for healing for you. Hope you can pass all this ordeal and get out of the operating room safely.
Keep up the spirit @yahoo62278, rest assured, God gave you this trial because he loves you more than anything.

Thank you

I shed my tear while I read your story man, and I feel so sorry for you. you are one of the very first generous guy who taught me a lot of a lesson here in this forum (may be you didn't aware of it but it is true I learnt a lot from you during my first kick off at this forum).

no matter happened in this life, I just want you to know that everything is happened for a reason, and God's reason will always be beautiful at the end. Gods gave you the test because He loves you more and He knew that you are stronger.

Be strong my friend, you will be in my prayer, in my fullest Heart! I sent you Love, more than 3000!

Whenever you need someone to talk to just keep in mind that we always here for you, as a family, as a home, and you can get back to us anytime you wish❤️

Thank you

Reading your story is one of the saddest things i have read on this forum ever. Whenever i see someone in pain/suffering, i usually have this feeling or rather wish that i had some superpowers to just make everything go away, and reading your OP i swear i damn felt that way. It is sad to see someone who has given quite a lot to the Bitcointalk/Bitcoin community going through something like this, my heart goes out to you, and definitely you'll be a significant part of my prayers for the forseeable future. Smile mate, i have this feeling inside of me that everything is going to be fine, and we'd see you here post surgery next year. So much love mate.

Thank you

I am very concerned to hear this news even though you have hidden news about your health from us, I often monitor your post history but you don't complain about your health condition and act tough on your health problems. I don't know you personally and have never even contacted you before, but I feel a bond for all members of the forum so that whatever you are going through will be a shared responsibility to care for each other and I thank anyone who provides financial assistance for health recovery @yahoo62278. We hope you will recover from all heart ailments and come back with us.

Thank you

@yahoo62278 I don't know who you're and I don't know your personality, but I really sad to read your stories which I didn't expect before. It's really tough to accept your condition and you need to risk all of your life for the next surgery, but it's what it's you need to accept it since it's for your life.

I really impressed with you because during your hard day, you're still care with forum. the proof is you're actively discuss when you see something done suspicious, tag and support flag on scammer account, and still active become one of the best manager to count people posts that usually spamming or create low quality posts.

Somehow, my path and yahoo62278's path never crossed each other, in this time I became active on the forum (meaning from October 2019). SAadly for me, I never had the chance to work with you, yahoo62278, and I am not sure if we ever exchanged more than a few replies inside any topic.

However, your reputation precedes you and I heard of you very soon after becoming active on the forum. Furthermore, I also read many of your topics, which I always found very valuable and I also always appreciated your managerial skills (which, with all due respect, are far better compared with many other campaign managers). Probably, the moment when I realized how capable you are was the moment when, from all available managers, you organized the campaign for Yobit and only due to your great expertise you avoided a massive spam on the forum. Perhaps, with someone else, things would have developed to a total mess.

Therefore, for all your hard work here, I express my gratitude!

Other than that, illnesses and diseases don't care if someone is good or bad; they don't care about someone's name or reputation' they affect rich and poor, black and white, with no difference. It was very difficult for me to read your story and it touched me a lot to see the struggle you have to deal. I am sorry for all that but, I know, the fact that I am sorry won't change your situation...

Therefore, all I can do -- all we can do -- is to pray for you and for your life -- which is exactly what I did... May you be well, dear yahoo62278! May your surgery develop well, thus you'll also be able to recover after the intervention! And until then, may you have the chance to spend beautiful moments with your close ones! Maybe these holidays will be a good opportunity to feel, maybe even more, the warm expressed by your close ones...

I hope we will receive good news from you in January!

Until then, allow me to help you with some BTC. It's not much, I know, but it's given with all my heart! May this donation, together with all the other donations your received / you'll receive to help you cover all the costs you'll have...

May you be healthy again! May you be well!

Thank you, Yobit was a challenge and a job that the community appreciated. I thought I did a fair job but others disagreed. It is what it is. I do appreciate you taking the time to make this post and wish me well. I also appreciate the donation!!! Every little bit helps.

According to BPIP [1] you're currently:
<snip>

Obviously I can't speak for yahoo62278, but I'm pretty sure he knows those stats and they might not be the most important thing on his mind at the moment. Not sure why you went through all the trouble with that research, but I've got my suspicions.

One thing of note that did stick out was that after learning he needed open-heart surgery, yahoo62278 still possessed enough selflessness to start up a thread on the misuse of charity funds by those fucknuts. I didn't connect the timeline until the above member pointed it out as one of yahoo's positive attributes and man....I can't say my nerves would have stopped jangling enough for me to continue being active here, much less go after scammers. He must have an internal constitution of titanium.

Yahoo62278, do you have anyone who'd be able to post updates on your behalf (progress and so forth) should it become necessary? I'd think you might be out of action as far as the forum goes when a new ticker comes your way, and I bet there would be a lot of people worried about you if you were to just stop posting (me included). That's not the priority overall, but I was just wondering.

I am logged into the forum anytime I am awake. When you're lying in a hospital bed(sometimes high outta your mind) or even at home healing, you have to find ways to keep yourself busy. I couldn't exactly take myself out to lunch or anything, so I used my time to browse the forum and some things make me curious. So, I started asking questions.

I have no idea when I will get the call for the new heart. I will be admitted to the hospital on Jan 4th after a heart catheter(had about 5 of those this year already). I could get a call 1 hour later or it might take 3 months. On average the doctor said 2-4 week wait. Averages aren't exact, they are just an average.

I will try to post when I get the call. If not maybe I can send a message to hopenotlate or condoras and they can post here for me. Then everyone will know i'm going to surgery. Assuming I live i'll be online within a few days. I may not post much the 1st few days but i'll be online. From how I felt the last surgery I won't wanna hold my phone up the 1st few days. If i'm not online within a week of the surgery happening, it's safe to assume things went bad.

My wife may login to my account and post but I doubt it. She will not be in any shape to care about letting all of you know.

Quote from: Lakai01 on Today at 10:36:13 AM

Wow yahoo, now that was a frighteningly honest - and for me eye-opening story. We don't know each other personally, but I appreciate you very much as a BM and we have had regular contact over the years in the course of various campaigns, including Bustadice.
I wish you all the best for the upcoming, certainly very exhausting and challenging time. I keep my fingers crossed for your speedy recovery!

So brave to share this story and somehow I know you are afraid of the consequences that might happen on your medical journey. But even though you are facing to many challenges still you need to look after those people who believe that you can make it. Just look after your wife and your children so that you will have positive mindset to face this challenge in life also if you are scared surrender all your worries to our lord god and he will wipe all out those bothering on your mind.

Come back more stronger this community also your love ones need a person like you. Cheer up man you can make it.

Thank you

Quote from: CryptSafe on Today at 01:54:25 PM

So sad reading this story. It touches me to know you are going through this experience. We need you to be strong and courageous. You will make it through to everything being alright. Do not lose faith and keep your hope alive. Reading this alone one would ask himself or herself some certain questions that are personal to them.
Reading from your story, as you have advised, it is good one goes for regular medical checkup to know their state of health or current health status.
My prayers are with you, you will come back healthy, stronger and better.

Thank you

We're one on prayers that you have a successful surgery, and the whole community is behind you, we don't know you personally but your character, insight, and knowledge on many subjects got all our respect, you make sense on all your posts, we'll continue reading all your posts and contribution to this community come 2023 and many years to come.

Quote from: coinerer on Today at 03:30:16 PM

I knew yahoo62278 as a rich man and it is true that he earned huge of money through bounty and signature management . But despite earning enough money, illness remained and changed the normal course of his life . Now it has become such a situation that people like yahoo62278 have to borrow money or take donate money from others to cover their medical expenses. From this we understand how great a blessing health is. Therefore, it is more important to look at your health first than running around for money. If the body is healthy, it is possible to earn money in many ways. But if the body is not healthy, one has to accept the sadd of death even while living. I want to help him after hearing yahoo62278 story but unfortunately I don't earn much enough to help him with some money left after paying my family expenses. But I pray for him that God bless him. And let this operation be successful

I wish I was rich. I'm rich in the sense that I have a great family life, but not monetarily. Thank you for the prayers

Quote from: TheUltraElite on Today at 03:32:54 PM

Illnesses dont come with warnings, they only remind us how much human we are inside and need regular checkups.

Having to live with such a condition and tolerating the adverse effects of diuretics to dry the edema fluids is demanding and the mental toll of having a chronic disease which has caused the loss of a family member is in simple words, tough.

Wishing you an early recovery and an early merry Christmas, I will send you some bitcoin as a donation hoping to see your surgery go through safely and recovering back in full form.

Here is my humble donation of 0.01 bitcoin - https://explorer.btc.com/btc/transaction/f4a11caa9f2b1bbe69de0c059b64a4efdb3f1f816fe71f5eab2caa724bbe8876

Thank you donation received. Thank you for reaching out on telegram to confirm as well.

I dont know you but your story do really makes me sad, Im sorry for asking you like this what is the main reason you got heart problem I mean what the main cause of it.

and maybe i know the weird feel when tube come to your aorta, I had same feeling when doctor do amputation to my finger because work accident and when they do that Im totally awake Embarrassed

Thank you. I've had many procedures done while awake. It's no fun watching them poke or cut on your body. Everything is fine now?

Quote from: hopenotlate on Today at 03:54:15 PM

I thought about it a bit before writing this post because I was (I am) afraid of violating Yahoo's privacy a bit considering that it is the result of many private conversations we had but I decided to do it because I can't ignore it. Apologies in advance.

I've been in contact with Yahoo for the entire period he talked about in original post, since before the first symptoms appeared and I can testify, even if I don't think there's the slightest need, that things went exactly as he described them; indeed he has failed to mention other further problems that he is facing which are by no means negligible.

I remember that at first he tended to underestimate what was happening to him and was also somewhat reluctant to follow the doctors' directions.
Then within about a month or so he became fully aware of the situation, thanks above all to his wife who insisted quite a bit in some moments to make him think about the situation.
Side note: how important it is to have someone who really cares about you!

Leaving aside the many things we talked about, I can say that Yahoo is truly an exceptional person: he has uncommon courage, lucidity and rationality in analyzing and evaluating a situation that was overwhelming him (correct me and forgive me if I'm wrong but that's how it is that I saw it).
I never heard him waver for a single moment even when he talked about his survival of the operation that he would have to go through.
Confronting myself with him I was ashamed of myself that sometimes I complain or take it out on problems or misadventures that don't even have a thousandth of the seriousness of those he's facing.

What clearly transpires even if he never told me openly is that he cares much more for his family than for his own fate.

I never thought I could care so much about someone I've never met in person, I trust him much more than many people who are close to me and I've known for a long time.

Keep it un man, stay strong , you have courage to spare.

Thank you for confirming. Yea I don't need to post every procedure or things like that and I will mostly keep my private life as private as I can. I definitely wanted to inform the community of what's going on though.

Why post this you ask? The main reason is to show you that even though some of you think I am lucky and probably live a rich and lavish life, I am human and have everyday problems like all of you. If you'll notice, my issues are hereditary meaning passed on from my family. I urge all of you to get checked and get your kids checked. Whether it be mental health or physical health, it is very important to make sure you are in the best condition you can be in. Don't put it off, get tested ASAP. Not all issues will be obvious and can only be found through testing.

I think some users get carried away on the forum, and assume because you've been around a long time, then that automatically makes you rich. We sort of idolize the users that have been here a long time, simply because we think they're more experienced, and have capitialised on the market.

The reality of it is; as you say. Normal people doing normal things. Most users here missed out on the sudden rise of Bitcoin, and probably wasn't expecting it so soon even if they somewhat predicted it would at some point increase to the levels we've seen. I personally never saw it rising this fast, and gaining this much mainstream attention.

Anyhow, I wish you the best yahoo62278. Being somewhat young you'll have a better chance recovering from this, but it's sad to hear you're experiencing these sort of troubles early on in life. I know its a little weird for a stranger to be wishing you the best, and it can almost seem disingenuous, but I sincerely hope that you'll make a fast recovery; since you've become an important figure in the community, for various different reasons, which vary from user to user.

Thank you, I definitely agree that that is how people think. They would be wrong.

Quote from: julerz12 on Today at 04:25:16 PM

I just noticed this post and after reading through all of that, I have nothing but admiration for you.
Your will to be better is strong, strong enough to overcome the hurdles you've experienced up to this point; so, stay strong and keep being optimistic.
You are brave enough to share this story with us and inspire others with it.
I'm sure with your strong will and bravery, you'll get better in no time. Fight on brother.
You are what others may call a braveheart.

Thank you

This is really touching , only people that has in one way or the other gone through major surgery will really understand and tell the pains involved.
God will help you come out this situation successfully and you will equally share the testimony here , wish you good luck in your surgery and once again you gonna be fine and become healthy as supposed.

Thank you
