Within a matter of days, I will reinvest most of this money into two co-investments with Overstock and Medici Ventures (thus I am eating a double dose of my own cooking, as months ago I promised you I would).

2)

You will soon see me honor several professors from my distant past who should not be asked to wait any longer.

I feel very encouraged by the speed of improvements in our retail business (which also makes me comfortable taking this moment to sell). I also think the Medici Ventures business model is playing out beautifully, and we are getting to park your capital in some of the most exciting blockchain innovations in the world, coupled with the tech and corporate support that is making Medici Ventures a sought-after capital partner.

As was announced six months ago, I needed to sell stock during this quarter to meet such other obligations. I am disappointed that I when the deadline arrived for my sales this quarter, the stock had dropped (I sadly note that over the last 180 days the correlation between OSTK’s and Bitcoin’s daily movements has been 85.5%, and again warn people:we don’t have significant holdings of Bitcoin).

Most of these 18 years I did not draw a salary (and for the last several, have drawn $100,000 so as to avoid being one of those schmucks who does not draw a salary).
