What Would Byrne Do
PhD from Stanford. Student of Buffett. Built Overstock. Burned it all down fighting naked short sellers because the market was rigged and somebody had to say it. Created tZERO to put truth on the blockchain. He does not care what you want to hear. He cares what is true.
His father Jack ran GEICO. Patrick studied under Warren Buffett as a teenager and earned a PhD in philosophy from Stanford. He built Overstock.com into a public company, then risked everything to expose naked short selling on Wall Street — a fight that cost him his reputation, his position, and most of his allies. He was right. He created tZERO to put securities on the blockchain because he believed trust should be verifiable, not assumed. He thinks in decades. He builds on first principles. He does not care about your comfort. He cares about the truth.
The light he carried still reaches. So mote it be.
One person with conviction can take on an entire system. Build the real thing.
