Original Published with Bitcoins & Gravy

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.

Bitcoin Blues

Lyrics and Music by John Barrett

2014, RJM Publishing [BMI]

Wasted all my time back in '09, I should have been mining blocks

Now all I've gotz a Dogecoin rig and holes in my Alpaca socks

I got them low down Bitcoin Blues I'm cryin

Hear the low down Bitcoin news I ain't lying to you

Low down Bitcoin Blues I'm dyin honey

Low down Bitcoin Blues

BTC convention came to my hometown at last

I had to sell my only bitcoin just to buy a 2 day pass

I got them low down Bitcoin Blues I'm cryin

Hear the low down Bitcoin news I ain't lying to you

Low down Bitcoin Blues I'm dyin honey

Low down Bitcoin Blues

Took a trip to China . . . town for Beef chow mein to go

Fortune cookie told me "We no taking bitcoin anymore"

I got them low down Bitcoin Blues I'm cryin

Hear the low down Bitcoin news I ain't lying to you

Low down Bitcoin Blues Im dyin honey

Low down Bitcoin Blues

Went up town to see my CPA for some advice

He told me death and taxes son and then just roll Satoshi Dice.

I got them low down Bitcoin Blues I'm cryin

Hear the low down Bitcoin news I ain't lying to you

Low down Bitcoin Blues Im dyin honey

Low down Bitcoin Blues.
