Would you mind clarifying what exactly you are trying to tell us? Title: Re: Knowing that the "Winklevii" allegedly own 1% of all BTC...

It's trivially easy to get 1% of all LTC right now, since it's so much cheaper than BTC. Title: Re: Knowing that the "Winklevii" allegedly own 1% of all BTC...

I dunno, I'm now just trying to imagine Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss slugging it out in the BTC-e troll box... ;D They could be into mcxNOW fee shares too, for all we know, that could be the real reason why the price is stubbornly above BTC1. ;D Alas, I cannot afford 1% of all the litecoin stock, though I (very briefly) held about 1% of copperlark at one point in time.

Quote The Winklevosses, 32, say they own about 1 percent of the $1.6 billion worth of Bitcoins in circulation, making their holdings worth about $16 million. They say they see Bitcoin as a way around a sclerotic global payment system that is balkanized into rival currencies and competing financial institutions.

Any random person could hold 10% LTC and crash it into oblivion and so goes for BTC. You can't know this and besides what do you have against "Winklevii"? I was being somewhat facetious (hence the post to Off-topic rather than Alternate cryptocurrencies. On a personal level, I have no grudges against Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss. Bitcoin could have worse spokespeople than those two, I suppose. Satoshi Nakamoto may have 10% of all the bitcoin but we know not whether Satoshi still has the keys to all that money, nor whether or not Satoshi will ever unleash those funds. Maybe a savvy interviewer could ask the "Winklevii" about their altcoin portfolios. ;D Title: Re: Knowing that the "Winklevii" allegedly own 1% of all BTC...

They see potential in BTC userbase for worldwide payment method. LTC offers just converting to BTC :P Title: Re: Knowing that the "Winklevii" allegedly own 1% of all BTC...
