What do I think about it?
In general there is no way to know what happened, was it a suicide or was it "the system" that killed him because they wanted to get rid of him? I am sorry I think the system didnt really see him as a threat, so I lean towards a suicide, but there is no way to know.
Did I like the guy?
Well its a mixed bag. I dont think he was so intelligent as many people like to portray him. He knew that the system is corrupt, but I dont think he understood the dept of it like me, I dont think he understand about Illuminati and stuff like that. Also he didnt know that the earth is flat. So he was mostly just a big mouth that got media exposing more then some unique individual.
I never meet the man and I dont really know him. His story shows that you cannot fight the system the way he did it, you need to evolve in a more smart way, where you dont really break their laws for the most part, but build new systems that are legal like good blockchains.
Thats my oppinon, like or not.
