Episode #53 Patrick Byrne Speaks! On today’s show I am honored to be speaking with a modern day American patriot, Mr. Patrick Byrne – the CEO of overstock.com. Patrick teaches us about public education in the United States and how it is sadly broken on many levels - with more money often going to administration than to our teachers and our students. Patrick also tells us the truth about the SEC. He talks to us about mobsters on Wall Street and the crooked games they’ve all but perfected to rob this country blind. And of course he tells us about his project to create the stock market of the future – one devoid of the criminal elements.

I wrote The Bitcoin Blues as a way to express all the regrets I have since entering into the crazy world of Bitcoining! But of course I have had more great times and more important learning experiences than at any other time in my life - except those years on the playground in elementary school . . . THOSE are where we learn the real truths about life that stick with us forever. I performed this song last year in Amsterdam to a pretty intoxicated crowd. It was a blast and I love the people of Amsterdam - every damn one of them!
