Whenever there is some kind of tragedy in the real world, something I commonly hear said is to "look for the good." There will always be people banding together to help those impacted by whatever awful evil or disaster that took place.

I saw that with the bitcoin community last week. In the face of such an awful theft, I saw the bitcoin community with all hands on deck trying to help people preserve their wealth or protect themselves from the looming threat. That's what we do.

From the first reports of users' wallets being drained to piecing together the pieces and commonalities that would lead us to the root cause, it was amazing to see how quickly things came together. Everyone was finding ways to help as many people as possible protect their funds.

I was making several calls to help those close to me that were impacted as I know many others were doing just the same. When you don't rely on centralized institutions, that responsibility falls on all of us. It was clear that responsibility was not taken lightly by anyone.

It pains me to see something like this take place in the first place. It should've never happened. But seeing the good in that darkness was nice to see and I know we'll come out of this stronger than before.
