Who has ever heard of the winkelvoss twins brother?
 Let's get infrom about them, they were students of Harvard University with no vision about crypto currency  the had dreams of a social network platform to connect different universities together and need the help of mark (CEO of Facebook to materialize their dreams with his coding skills,alll things fail apart as mark was sued for stealing their idea and developing it into Facebook .
They won the case and were paid $65 million.
    But the fact I would like to bring is that they investing $11million dollars on bitcoin when it was still $7 😏
     Would you say it was a crazy idea at that time?
  But they can proudly beat their chest and say they were the first bitcoin billionaire's  in world history. They never sold a single piece of bitcoin no matter the pump or dumb

That was a huge success for the Winklevoss twins, just Imagine they just bought bitcoin for $7 dollars. But its a shame on Zuckerberg, for stealing their idea, by the way, Bitcoin price seems not to stop climbing soon it will be above the $40K price level, I wish I have not spent my bitcoin on gambling.

I wish I could have saved all the bitcoin I have earned over the years. When I actually got into bitcoin, the price was just at $300 but I didn't buy in bulk because I was skeptical about its success! So here I am, still making a decent living for my day job but couldn't get rich!

Fortune favors the brave! It is even more evident in Winklevoss brothers' case! Pouring in $11 million for $7 per bitcoin was a bold move at that time! But now they are billionaires on paper!

I know the Winklevoss brother, but I did not know the story between them and Mark Zuckerberg. So Mark Zuckerberg has been an idea thief who just brought their vision forward.. Quite a shame.
However, I think facebook's impact on the world will be very small compared to what Bitcoin will emerge into the next years.

If you’ve got time, set aside something like 10-12 hours to dive into the book"Bitcoin Billionaires", written by Ben Mezrich (soon to be made a movie). It changes your vision on the shallow impression of the characters left by The Social Network, and takes a deep dive into the lives of the monozygotic twins, their stealth in investing into businesses, the vetos they faced (Zukerberg’s long shadow by derivation being behind), and how bitcoin/Bitcoin got into their veins whilst partying in Ibiza. Bitcointalk is mentioned in the book (clue: in a passage related to Pizza) …

I think Mark was the winner here. A theft of 65 million has brought more.

Bitcoin billionaires! Just like Facebook, the guys have again managed to foresee the technology of the future.

They are about to be billionaires. Here is one of the lastest interview with the Winklevoss twins where "Tyler said $500,000 is a “really conservative” target. "

Image what will happen if he's right!

These twins made their fortune out of the payment they've won against Facebook. They're into technology so why you say that they have no vision in crypto or bitcoin in the first place? Maybe during their fight against FB, they were already aware of its existence and have already planned to buy as much money as they can if ever they win the case.
