The obit reads more or less as you'd expect from someone both trying to hide a horrible secret and honor that person's memory.

Where have you lived?

> Nowhere in the world does $55K a year before tax provide anywhere like 'good life'.

Are you defining 'good life' in relative terms or absolute? Because 55k a year would put you in the top 1% of earners in many parts of the world.

I was surprised the author didn't include the detail about lola meaning grandmother.

I personally just hold a certian amount of bitcoins and buy some more when I spend them. I used bitcoins to send openBSD some money, and was able to do that while boarding the subway.

I personally am willing to risk 10 - 20% value to help establish a reasonable stability in BTC/USD exchanges. Once the exchange becomes more stable and nerdy people hold some amount of bitcoins the above problem is fixed, it's just that right now regulation and volitility are still a problem.
