And he has always had ambitions bigger than retail. For years, Byrne used his position to rail against corruption on Wall Street. Then, he discovered bitcoin, and with it, a new way to dismantle what he sees as dismantle what he sees as dangerous institutions. • In 2015, Overstock.com became the first company to accept the cryptocurrency as payment. Byrne still runs the retail site, but he's poured his time and profits into financing blockchain-based start-ups, including a alternative stock exchange. And he's attracted a following of crypto fans who share his vision for a future fueled by blockchain. • VICE News spent time with Byrne at a party in Miami, at Overstock headquarters in Utah, and at his secretive ski chalet to find out why he's betting big on the technology behind bitcoin. • Subscribe to VICE News here: http://bit.ly/Subscribe-to-VICE-News • Check out VICE News for more: http://vicenews.com • Follow VICE News here: • Facebook: / vicenews • Twitter: / vicenews • Tumblr: / vicenews • Instagram: / vicenews • More videos from the VICE network: https://www.fb.com/vicevideo
