It’s been 24 hours, and I’m still trying to process losing Harry. For the last two years, Harry and I spoke almost every day. We had both been through a lot in life, and somehow we randomly connected at Satoshi Roundtable. We quickly realized our worlds had crossed in more ways than we knew, including mutual friends going all the way back to the early YC days. Harry became much more than a friend. He taught me an enormous amount. He challenged the way I thought. He was, without question, one of the smartest people I have ever known. I want to say this publicly because whatever people may read about Harry or the circumstances surrounding his death, I want people to know the human being I knew. Harry had one of the biggest hearts. He was extraordinarily intelligent, deeply curious, generous with what he knew, and relentlessly progressive in how he thought about technology and the future. He came from very little, built an extraordinary life and fortune, and never lost his willingness to share what he had learned with the people around him. There are still many unanswered questions about what happened, and I’m not prepared to draw conclusions. I hope the truth becomes clear in time. For now, I want to focus on Harry’s life, not his death. He taught a lot of people a lot of things. I was fortunate enough to be one of them. I’ll carry those lessons forward for the rest of my life. Love you very much, Harry. Thank you for everything. ❤️ Harry Yeh 葉俊德
