This is an episode repeat from December, 2020 that we think is even more relevant today.  Can blockchain technology transform the future of voting in the United States? Join us for an enlightening conversation with Khalil Byrd, a leading voice in political technology, as we explore the intricacies of the nation's voting system. Khalil breaks down the current state of voting, highlighting the system's trust-based foundation, insufficient funding, and the diverse rules across states. We tackle the perennial issue of low voter turnout and the challenge of maintaining vote integrity, all while envisioning how cutting-edge technologies like blockchain and smartphone apps can revolutionize accessibility and security in our elections.We then navigate the promising advancements in electronic voting, spearheaded by companies like Votes, backed by Jonathan Johnson and Medici Ventures. Khalil sheds light on the unique challenges faced by disabled voters, rural residents, and military personnel stationed abroad. With blockchain technology at the core, we discuss how secure, private, and verifiable voting from personal devices is no longer a distant dream. This segment underscores the critical importance of voter privacy and the potential for biometrics to enhance the safety of electronic voting systems, setting a global standard for democratic practices.Finally, we reflect on the lessons learned from the controversial 2000 election and the strides made since. Our discussion delves into the bipartisan efforts that have shaped today's election infrastructure and the continuous need for investment in both hardware and software. Khalil emphasizes the potential of app-based voting systems that employ biometrics, encryption, and blockchain technology to offer secure and anonymous voting. The conversation rounds off with the importance of piloting new systems, gathering feedback, and the broader implications for democracy, advocating for a more inclusive and trustworthy electoral process. Tune in to discover how we can reimagine elections and rebuild trust in our democratic institutions.Support the showEngage the conversation on Substack at The Common Bridge!

On today's show, Former CEO of Overstock.com and election expert, Patrick Byrne, joins the Joe Hoft Show to discuss the 2020 Election and the DOJ's case against President Trump. Byrne's remarks provide assurances that the DC case against President Trump is sure to fail based on his interactions with President Trump in the White House in December 2020. GUEST OVERVIEW: In 1999, Patrick M. Byrne launched Overstock.com, which achieved its first profitable quarter in 2002 and its first full year of profitability in 2009. In 2016, Overstock.com had revenues of $1.8 billion and its seventh out of eight straight years of profitability. In 2012, when no firm of $1 million in revenue yet accepted bitcoin as a payment method, Byrne's pro-freedom political orientation led him to decide that Overstock.com, then with $1.4 billion in revenue, should accept the digital currency. Having gained familiarity with blockchain technology at the heart of digital currencies such as bitcoin, Byrne created Medici Ventures, a subsidiary within Overstock.com building blockchain-based financial technology solutions. In 2015, Byrne used Medici's t0.com securities trading platform to become the first person to purchase a digital bond entirely on the bitcoin blockchain. Byrne made history again in Dec 2016, when Overstock.com issued the first shares ever traded on an alternative trading system (ATS) utilizing distributed ledger technology. A “classical liberal,” Byrne believes that our nation's success depends on education and capital markets. Starting with Milton Friedman's passing in 2006, Byrne served as chairman of the Friedman Foundation for Educational Choice (now “EdChoice”), an organization leading the national push for school choice.

  Welcome to episode 69 of The Bitcoin Game, I'm Rob Mitchell. I attended Bitcoin 2019 in June and recorded a bunch of great interviews. But only one interview was with someone I kind of knew, and that was Doug Scribner. He's been in the scene a long time, and recalls buying Bitcoin at Porcfest from Charlie Shrem, Erik Voorhees, and Roger Ver. His first major project, WatchMyBit, was a bit ahead of its time (pun unintended). Now he's focused on Vault Logic, a multi-purpose, Bitcoin-capable, "Smart ATM" hardware and software platform.

This week on Human’s of Bitcoin, we sat down with the one and only Patrick Byrne, cryptocurrency enthusiast and CEO of Overstock.com. Patrick is an incredible human being. In addition to running a public company, he also has a PhD in philosophy, speaks multiple languages, has a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, and has a near photographic memory. A true renaissance man, we review his past, bitcoin and the current regulatory environment, as well as the projects his team at Medici ventures are working on. Here are some highlights of the discussion:   The “Dutch Uncle”   Patrick’s love for business can be traced back to two hour meetings he had with a special mentor when he was just 13.   That mentor was none other than famous investor Warren Buffett, who was a close family friend and someone who Patrick always thought was just some rich farmer from Omaha. He called him his “Dutch Uncle” because he wasn’t exactly family, but still had a major influence on his life. One of the lessons Buffett taught him was that you need the temperament to be patient enough to wait for the perfect opportunity. You may only need to make 10-20 big decisions in life, and when the timing is right you need to have the courage to swing for the fences. Buffett wanted Patrick to spend a year on Wall St., so he set him up with a friend of his at First Manhattan to learn how the game was played. This experience was Patrick’s first look at the inner workings of the financial system.   First Bitcoin Moment: After becoming CEO of Overstock.com, Patrick realized there was a crack in our financial infrastructure, and that a group of smart people had figured out a way to scheme the system for their own profits at the expense of the average citizen. He waged his own personal Occupy Wall St. movement, and was ostracized for speaking out against the nation’s power brokers. It was only after the 2008 crash that he felt vindicated for his remarks. Following the crash, Patrick randomly came across a Wired.com article about Bitcoin and realized someone had used cryptography to develop a new form of money that solved the “Byzantine General’s Problem” he had learned about in college. While others saw it as a means for speculation, he knew this new form of money could fix the issues he had witnessed first-hand during his time on Wall St. both as an analyst and as a CEO.   Regulation:   Wall St. was aware of the potential of Bitcoin as well, and the first few years of its existence were marred by smear campaigns which stigmatized cryptocurrencies as a tool for drug dealers and terrorists. However, Patrick believes that regulators are now seeing the bigger picture, and realizing the benefits of a blockchain based economy. He was able to meet with organizations like FINRA to show them how this technology could make their lives easier.   These meetings have shown him the government wants to adapt so they can be involved in the creation of regulation that allows blockchain innovation to flourish. He does not think they will try to stop the movement, and even if they wanted to, it’s already too late.   “Bigger than the Gutenberg Press” ⅔ of the world population doesn’t have access to records that allow them to prove ownership of their land. Patrick’s current project, Medici Ventures, is going into developing countries and helping local officials put land titles on the blockchain. In Zambia for example, they titled 50K homes in a pilot program and now they’re working with the government to put every home in the country on the blockchain as well. He thinks this project can change the lives of billions of people and will be more effective than simply handing out cash to those in need. Officials in Africa have taken notice, and countries like Bermuda are looking to implement his solution as well. 1000 years from now, he predicts the impact of the blockchain movement will be bigger than the Gutenberg Press and Internet because corrupt third parties will be replaced by governance systems based upon mathematics. Conclusion We are very grateful that Patrick took time out of his busy schedule to fill us in on all of these exciting things that he’s been working on. If you have any questions or comments about the topics we covered, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at Bitcoin.com/podcast.

In this classic show, Rob McNealy and Tyson Holbrook interview Jonathan Johnson, President of Medici Ventures on cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. About Jonathan Johnson Mr. Jonathan E. Johnson, III, has been the President of Medici Ventures, Inc, a subsidiary of Overstock.com Inc. since August 2016. Mr. Johnson joined Overstock in 2002. He served as an...

Jonathan Johnson very modestly describes himself as “a recovering lawyer.” A lawyer by training, Jonathan was Overstock.com’s general counsel before becoming president. Jonathan and Patrick Byrne, Overstock.com’s founder and CEO, took Overstock from a private startup to a publicly traded company with over $2 billion in sales and 2,000 employees. They have been good at seeing new opportunities. Overstock.com has never been afraid of making moves. In 2014 they were the first major online retailer to accept bitcoin as a payment, and in the first 22 hours, they received over 800 orders worth $126,000 in bitcoin. Jonathan Johnson (and Patrick Byrne) jumped into the blockchain mosh pit four years ago because they saw big potential in applying the blockchain to financial systems. Jonathan became the president of a new Overstock subsidiary that was created to manage and oversee company investments in innovative companies building blockchain solutions. They called the new company Medici Ventures, named after Medici Bank of Florence, the most successful European bank in the 15th century. Medici Bank was an early disruptor in 15th-century Europe that invented, among other things, the double entry system of tracking debits and credits, deposits and withdrawals. The name seemed appropriate and Medici Ventures was born! Under Jonathan’s leadership. Medici Ventures has made big  investments in companies with innovative blockchain solutions. Jonathan, along with his friend and mentor, Patrick Byrne, believes that “blockchain is going to change the world more than the internet has.”  We think you’ll enjoy our interview with Jonathan Johnson, a bright, articulate “recovering lawyer” who is making bold moves in an uncertain world!

Welcome to Part 1 of “Tokenize The World: A Security Token Audio Documentary”I decided to create this series after learning that many of my preconceived notions about security tokens were just flat wrong, and that several individuals I respected and who otherwise were well-versed on crypto assets had misconceptions about security tokens, how and where they attempt to add value, why they might be needed, and the mechanics of how they work.My purpose here is not to convince you that security tokens and asset-backed tokens are valuable, or needed, but instead to simplify the complex and tell the story of the projects, makers, issuers, investors, and influencers driving adoption of security tokens.To create this content, I had conversations with leading thinkers and creators in the field. What I've found is that at every step of the way, the tokenization of securities, real estate, art, and other real-world assets is forcing us to re-examine old habits and ways of operating.Special thanks to all of our guests including Professor Stephen McKeon, securities attorney Zach Robins, Harbor CEO Joshua Stein, and Bruce Fenton (CEO Chainstone Labs/Atlantic Financial and Board Member at Medici Ventures, tZero & the Bitcoin Foundation). Thanks also to Polymath's CEO Trevor Koverko & COO Chris Housser, who appear prominently in part 2 of this audio documentary.Note: This documentary is brought to you by Nomics' Cryptocurrency & Bitcoin API.

Jonathan Johnson is the President of Medici Ventures, the venture capital subsidiary of online retailer Overstock.com. He played an integral role in getting the retailer known for its furniture stock to accept cryptocurrency, and he leads Medici’s efforts to pioneer growth and innovation in applying the blockchain to financial systems and beyond. Under Johnson's leadership, Medici has invested in several cutting-edge blockchain technology firms, and it successfully completed the world's first blockchain-based stock offering on its tZERO platform. Join us for a discussion of how this technology could reshape the financial industry. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Shortly after Overstock began accepting Bitcoin in January of 2014, the potential applications of blockchain technology became apparent. In response, Overstock established Medici Ventures, a division that's designated to advance companies that promote the development and implementation of blockchain technology. Jonathan Johnson, who is on the Overstock Board of Directors and serves as president of Medici Ventures, discusses a few of the new and exciting technologies he's helping to advance. T-0 is a company that's developing a security token platform on which secure tokens can be digitally traded with no time lapse between paying for a security and receiving it. Although the volume of equities and securities on the platform is still low, Johnson forecasts a growing need for a security token platform, especially after last year's ICO boom and related statements made by the SEC. Having just launched a demo of the new build-out of the system, T-0 is prepared for an influx of securities. Medici Ventures is also supporting the implementation of Voatz, a blockchain-based platform for digital and remote voting. The platform will allow people to vote securely and privately on their mobile devices, receive confirmation that their vote has been cast, and get results in real time. In addition, it will greatly reduce absentee voting by reaching members of the military who are serving in remote areas. This technology was recently and successfully used at the Michigan State Democratic Convention, and is being tested in two counties in West Virginia. If successful, West Virginia will roll out the technology to the entire state for the general election in November.

Show support appreciated: 35iDYDYqRdN2x6KGcpdV2W1Hy3AjGje9oL Matthew & Fernando interview Patrick Byrne, founder & CEO of Overstock. Fascinating discussion with a busy executive, we are grateful for the time Patrick spent with us covering everything they are doing at Overstock with blockchain technology. We begin with Patrick's background, moving from philosophy to Wall Street. We discuss the complexities of running a publicly traded company, and the many dealings (and battles) Patrick has had with the SEC. He overviews their TZero platform, how they plan to disintermediate the broker-dealer business, and in general cut the inefficiencies and lack of transparency plaguing modern finance. We move on to his work with Hernando de Soto, an important Peruvian economist who has done monumental work on the history of property rights. He, Patrick, and the team at Medici Ventures are (among others) investing in the lofty goal of bringing a true property rights system to the developing (and developed!) world through the blockchain. This could offer those in desparate environments a fighting economic chance at establishing their title and property, potentially opening up access to credit and other entrepreneurial tools. We conclude with another great free-market economist last-named de Soto, Spanish economist Jesús Huerta de Soto, who Fernando studied Austrian Economics under, and whom Patrick would like to meet!
