Reason TV's Zach Weissmueller sat down with Byrne in Overstock's headquarters in Utah to talk about Byrne's return to the helm of the company after taking a medical leave of absence (0:53 - "I'm actually healthier than I've been in about 30 years."), his enthusiasm for bitcoin and other blockchain-based technology (4:18 - "For five thousand years, society has accumulated these centralized institutions like barnacles on our hull, and now the blockchain lets us scrape those off."), his new venture t0 that brings the blockchain to the financial sector (5:26 - "We now have built a blockchain version of Wall St."), his support of Gary Johnson (11:23 - "He's 'pro-freedom.'"), and his disdain for both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton (15:09 - "I don't consider Donald Trump a businessman.").
