Hello,

As the talk of the Winklevoss twins will take place in 24 minutes, we need someone to cover and comment on the talk for us. It could be awesome to hear the feedback from the experienced people in here as well.

Thank you.

Edit :

As the talk has ended, the thread will continue for the users feedback about the talk.

Nothing of substance yet.

Wow, they really ramble. Funny watching them turn into teenagers when asked about who does what and doing the twin rivalry thing, though.

Winkiis talking sht about each other.

Breaking: Winkii are distinguished by righty and lefty.

I bet they start talking about all the tricks twins can get up to, like swapping girlfriends. We don't need or want all that, we only want to know when the exchange opens and if there is any news about the ETF.

I asked about btc value and technology in 5-10 years, did it show up ?

Oh noes, even Winklevoss called it Bitcorn!  ::)

Emphasis on the fact that they are 'hoping'. They were specifically evasive about not giving important dates away because it will get them into trouble.

Remember gemini was specifically promised 'by late march 2015'. I wouldn't hold my breath for it any time soon.

weeks away, Gemini. They are on the 2 yard line.

They said nothing that isn't already known.  Just a informative live chat for noobs.

Anyone?

What is meant by "2 yard line" ?

He said to put it in a sports reference Gemini is on the 2 yard line.  Meaning very close to launch.

In the context of American football ?

I hope it's not rowing...

He said it only takes one hedge fund to get involved for the price to pop.

Could you elaborate more please.

Not really.  That was a exact quote when talking about how small bitcoin is and the etf.

In other words, nothing new. Gemini will launch when it's ready, not during a noob talk interview.

Nothing has changed, and the whole 2 yard talk is RELATIVE compared to 2 years they have been waiting. 3-4 months more, probably during fall after slow summer is when everything will kick off.

Two would be a smarter thing to say since you have massive trading risk with only one large element in any market.   The JPmorgan whale comes to mind, a bit of a mistake for just one hedge fund to get involved solely as it really would need overall trading to rise between countries probably merely facilitated by these entities.   

Soo... basically nothing is happening and they just hope people don't see what's going on and start buying funny internet money on which they lost millions... okay..

No.

They bought at 15 dollars IIRC.

You sold at 10. Lol.

Still waiting for them to come up with the goods, lots of promise & telling us things that they're working on.
I'm not holding my breath but I'm waiting to see if they deliver on their promises.
Gemini will be great but the ETF especially will give us a massive help but like I said lets just see if they deliver because at the moment all I see is talk.

The talk was a complete joke.

Much obliged for this thread as it tells me exactly what I pretty much figured all along, not much going on atm. Nice little update though.

thanks for the link.  substance or not its still interesting to see a whale's view on whats happening.

imho very un-professional interview. From the seats, to the questions and too long responses... Everybody was nervous, and were talking too much about the
things that don't interest the potential average investor or bitcoin user. This should have been done way better than it was. Conclusion in the end, 1 hour of life wasted.
Just my opinion, i have nothing against them.

cheers
