There is a friend in our community named Hughes who has been out of contact for more than two months.
He is such an active old leek in the currency circle. He joins Twitter and Telegram groups every day. Maybe you have even chatted with him.
However, during this period, Hughes’ wallet address stopped any on-chain activity.
The last time anyone heard from him was around March or April this year.
Hughes said: He has arrived in El Salvador and is going to buy rune stones with ten bitcoins from his mining partner.
Then, there will be no more...
2.
A few months later, no one cares about the price of the rune stones, and it is even less likely that a certain KOL who vigorously called for orders at the beginning actually committed seppuku.
However, no matter how many times we searched and left messages everywhere, we still did not get any reply from Hughes.
The reason why I noticed that Hughes did not reply to messages was because I originally planned to engage a project party to discuss business.
It is a pity that this cooperation group has not yet been established.
3.
El Salvador is the Central American country where the president advocates buying Bitcoin.
Hughes ran a mining business there with a partner whom none of us knew.
No one knows the name, gender, nationality, or age of the partner.

Hughes is a friend I’ve known since before I came to the cryptocurrency world. At that time, I didn’t even have a wallet address.
I remember it was 2021, when Hughes was in high spirits.
I heard that I made a lot of money trading NFT, and I also have a fiancée in Florida.
I am a layman who is curious about the currency circle. I am busy working, taking classes, performing, and doing music and hosting every day.
There were a lot of viewers watching the show, and several big names in the currency circle got interested and said they wanted to reward us and airdrop tokens to us.
However, none of us have downloaded a Web3 wallet.
Hughes often comes to our events. When he heard that some newbies didn’t know how to use the Metamask Wallet, even though they were on the high-speed train and the Internet was not available, he still recorded a video tutorial carefully and sent it over.
I paired this instructional video with English commentary and shared it with many overseas musicians and anchors.
Soon, the singers, producers, and game anchors I met all knew how to use the Metamask Wallet.
I am forever grateful to Hughes.
5.
In the following years, whenever they met in public, Hughes always liked to introduce:
The Metamask wallet that Yueguang used for the first time in his life was taught by him.
6.
Hughes originally planned to come to the United States in 2022, and I also looked forward to the opportunity to attend the wedding of him and his fiancée.
There is a direct flight from New York to Florida, so I wanted to thank them in person and give them both a big red envelope.
Later, for some unknown reason, Hughes never mentioned coming to the United States again, and instead ran to Türkiye.
7.
One day he formed a small group with friends he had known for a while.
We watch Hughes post photos and videos every day, and I will also post home-cooked meals from rural North America when I have time.
I remember that the Turkish food looked very fragrant and large, and sometimes I could see lively Middle Eastern music performances.
However, there was always no one across the dining table from Hughes, just himself.
8.
In 2023, I received invitations to attend conferences in several countries, and Hughes happened to be there. We also said that we could just meet up at the meeting!
I never expected that the accident would come earlier than tomorrow.
Not long after, I was sent to the emergency room of Taipei Rong Zong Hospital twice.
Then, I waited in line for a month and returned to North America to be examined by a specialist. The doctor said: No, you need surgery.
I was thinking about work in my heart. Before the anesthesia was finished, I was the first to report to the boss and started working in the hospital. The nurses all remembered it.
After being sent home by ambulance, I could only communicate by typing in English, but I never asked for leave.
After struggling like this, he suddenly started bleeding again. During my return visit, the doctor objected to my long-distance flight and suggested three months of rest, so I had to cancel all overseas activities.
I told Hughes: I'm really sorry. I thought I could hold on, but I didn't know the plan couldn't keep up with the change.
9.
It is already the summer vacation of 2024.
It must be very hot in El Salvador too!
My younger sister still secretly keeps the surgical sutures I cut last year.
I think she must have been frightened at that time, fearing that I would be like my mother and go to the hospital one day and never come back.
In fact, I still have the video that Hughes sent us.
After all, that was the first time in Moonlight’s life that she learned how to use the Metamask wallet!
10.
In the past few months, the group friends have communicated from time to time, but unfortunately no one has the contact information of Hughes' partner.
We still don’t know where Hughes is?
Will you be in the group one day and suddenly send me some photos, showing you what you ate in El Salvador?
Will one day, suddenly, Hughes raise his hand into the Twitter space and continue chatting about what new projects he has watched recently?
No one in the small group wanted to think anywhere else.
Perhaps, because we all still hold on to hope.
11.
I heard that the Internet is very powerful.
If this article is seen by friends living in El Salvador, I hope you can help find out the whereabouts of Hughes.
sincere thanks.
