@AccountableInfo @DXNCRA Absolutely. Well... no question it can. But also no question it plugs holes through which leaks wealth into the trough at which the oligarchy currently slurps. So they will fight it. And they own elements within the SEC. But SEC is not homogeneous. Neither is USG. — PolitiTweet.org

@DXNCRA @magicshak So to Mr. Shortie paying 90% negative rebate hoping firm runs < 1 year: Keep hoping motherfuckers. — PolitiTweet.org
Patrick Byrne @PatrickByrne
@DXNCRA @magicshak Since you are polite, I will clarify to you: I can buy back in after 6 months. Legally, I do before that, it creates massive headache. I think that means I can buy back in March 18 if firm needs capital. I will have to check how SEC defines "6 months" (welcome to my life). — PolitiTweet.org
Patrick Byrne @PatrickByrne
@DXNCRA @magicshak Wow. I just blocked my first person (thanks to advice I got a couple days ago). Thanks! — PolitiTweet.org

@DXNCRA "This is what I meant when I said 'principles are almost as expensive as children'." Good line. I will steal it. "But in my world, the end does not justify the means." Referring to what? Guys, I'm Asperger's. I live in a confusing world. Break things down for me. — PolitiTweet.org
Patrick Byrne @PatrickByrne
@hagmansliver_ @DXNCRA is there some reason you don't want them to know something? — PolitiTweet.org
Patrick Byrne @PatrickByrne
@hagmansliver_ @DXNCRA Well, tell that to the guy who asked me. Then it's, "Why won't Byrne answer these questions?!?!?!" — PolitiTweet.org
Patrick Byrne @PatrickByrne
@DXNCRA @JJohnsonNow No he should not. Not here. "Nevermind surface as a top 5 bullet point on revised guidance of a public Co. " Unclear. — PolitiTweet.org

@DXNCRA XPO is 1 such partnership. But getting things like that going is a walk-trip-pick-yourself-up-walk-again process. They learn this, need that change, OSTK discovers other thing, let's change this... All just little increments. Meantime, guy in street yelling, "Hurry! More salt!" — PolitiTweet.org

@DXNCRA However, when possible acquirers came, they brought models for us to complete. We'd fill in, and see >$200 million in savings if part of brick-and-mortar. We realized in time that even with a sale, could perhaps find (>?) $25-$40 million of that through partnerships. — PolitiTweet.org
Patrick Byrne @PatrickByrne
@DXNCRA Well, it is weird not being able to get an answer in 2 minutes like I have been able for years, but... I have no idea about them or how big an effect this could have, but from first glance it looks like a regional carrier? There's competitors, maybe hurts things a million or two. — PolitiTweet.org
Patrick Byrne @PatrickByrne
@JT_ZLC @DXNCRA OK. Anyone disagree? — PolitiTweet.org
Patrick Byrne @PatrickByrne
@AccountableInfo @DXNCRA Man this is so weird, being able to tell the public the truth. I must be sparing. But now not on board, not exec, and as not a shareholder, no one can say I am pumping my position. "Free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty I'm free at last!" — PolitiTweet.org
Patrick Byrne @PatrickByrne
@AccountableInfo @DXNCRA Nope. Not at all. Totally false. Truth will be out this week. Inshallah. — PolitiTweet.org
Patrick Byrne @PatrickByrne
@DXNCRA For example, I see below someone already asked about me buying back in. Should I respond directly to his tweet (which is more precise, but makes it harder for you folks to track what I am saying), or just respond up at this level? or just do all my tweets at highest level? — PolitiTweet.org
Patrick Byrne @PatrickByrne
@DXNCRA Teach me some Twitter etiquette. Should I just be putting all my responses at one level in answer to your tweet, or when others reply to me (e.g. Marc) chasing them down their own branches? Or just having all my tweets be top level, not responses to anyone else's? — PolitiTweet.org
Patrick Byrne @PatrickByrne
@name_elsewhere @DXNCRA @tzeroblockchain Man, I will be careful and it would be inappropriate to much detail about company. But it feels so good to be (legally and ethically) free to tell you things like that now. — PolitiTweet.org
Patrick Byrne @PatrickByrne
@name_elsewhere @DXNCRA @tzeroblockchain But most of their recommendations are just, "Do THIS so the market will do THAT!" They have 0 idea what the market will do. All told board: "If Byrne leaves CEO stock pops to >$50!" ALL of them. They have 0 idea what market will do, but are 100% sure they know. Gibberish. — PolitiTweet.org
Patrick Byrne @PatrickByrne
@name_elsewhere @DXNCRA @tzeroblockchain Their understanding and contribution is about as meaningful as that. I do give him credit that he noticed what we were doing with blockchain first. All else missed how far ahead we were getting. — PolitiTweet.org
Patrick Byrne @PatrickByrne
@name_elsewhere @DXNCRA @tzeroblockchain U r cooking dinner. Outside on the street, some guys are standing around yelling through window. "Market wants garlic! More garlic dammit! Wait, stocks down, try pepper. Pepper! No, stocks down. Salt? Stocks up! Pepper, more pepper dammit! Now flat? Garlic, garlic I said garlic!" — PolitiTweet.org
Patrick Byrne @PatrickByrne
@name_elsewhere @DXNCRA @tzeroblockchain Since you mention: yes, I would describe what Marc and his crowd do as "harassment". Let me explain what it is like: — PolitiTweet.org
Patrick Byrne @PatrickByrne
@DXNCRA That is kind. But I will SCUBA, surf, let execs run their show. JJ is very able executive. Calls himself "a recovering lawyer" 😊(hates being reminded of it!). pent a decade as M&A lawyer in LA, left 20 years ago. Perfect to oversee releasing shareholder value now. Much M&A work. — PolitiTweet.org
Patrick Byrne @PatrickByrne
@DXNCRA @magicshak Thank you so much. The reason I have stayed away form social media is because i do not want to get in bickering matches having to repeat myself. I will participate more if others handle that crap for me. — PolitiTweet.org
Patrick Byrne @PatrickByrne
@DXNCRA By the way, now that I am out: my absence could dramatically increase the odds of a retail sale. Some objected to talking to us with me there. Too "controversial". — PolitiTweet.org
Patrick Byrne @PatrickByrne
@DXNCRA Saum and tZERO made incredible step-by-step progress none have recognized. Pipeline full of disruptive possibilities (e.g., recent BLOK FLIQ). Many more on way. Yes they move slowly, but they are inventing a new and better universe. 1-2 years, tZERO is a monster. 0 doubt. — PolitiTweet.org
Patrick Byrne @PatrickByrne
@DXNCRA Dave is very able retailer. Combination of JP and Kamelia perfect. Technological masterpiece that could solve a problem faced by many retailers: way behind in eCommerce. Buy the Retail side, shoot to the front of the pack technologically. — PolitiTweet.org
Patrick Byrne @PatrickByrne
@DXNCRA tZERO grand opening party in October. Saum wanted me to come, speak, celebrate. Got word: board said OK I was there, but no speak. Then, OK I'm there, but stand in back, "optics" of being associated with me problematic.... OK, I can take a hint. Sold everything. Their show now. — PolitiTweet.org
Patrick Byrne @PatrickByrne
@DXNCRA Cohodes hassled executives to the point they could not even work: "Get Byrne out!" Board too. Like a stalker. Not interested in having him define what my new position should be. "Board" never mentioned me being chair let alone offered it. — PolitiTweet.org
Patrick Byrne @PatrickByrne
@DXNCRA Is hashgraph an example of a "directed acyclic graph"? Because I hear great things about hashgraph. — PolitiTweet.org
Patrick Byrne @PatrickByrne
@DXNCRA Well, you tell that to people you try to recruit to a board. — PolitiTweet.org
