1200 incoming ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) There's 191 Bitcoins left for sale on bitfinex before $1200, and big 100 Bitcoin buy after big 100 Bitcoin buy. It probably won't take much longer, and after that there's only the Gox ATH before Bitcoin's price starts exploring new highs its never been to before. Yeah, I still really want to see the Gox ATH surpassed, just so we never have to mention it ever again. Same here, and after that the bonus is every high will be an ATH. We wii start thinking about breaking $2000, $3000, $4000....

Thanks for that link Fakhoury. Lots of good info and links in there. I think that the mere meetings does not necessarily conclude green for the ETF for sure, but such a set of happenings probably increases the probability of green for the ETF.

When the WinkleVii first invested their $11M worth of bitcoins, the price was around $120/btc. Now their "flier" is worth nearly $110M. ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fnew4.fjcdn.com%2Fthumbnails%2Fcomments%2FWoaah%2B_d68a17b6182b4c876c0cff091aa82f96.gif&t=665&c=Pd_Q9yMp79gNew)

The question is: what will this silly graphic at bitcoinity be when the ATH breaks?
It's bender from Futurama this time. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fs1.postimg.org%2Fbsjjgm8pr%2F2017_02_23_182436.jpg&t=665&c=w6gIHHXY2Sv-ow) I prefer bender to the Sesame Street character they used at $200. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fs18.postimg.org%2Ff7aspkurd%2Fbitcoinity3.jpg&t=665&c=MpKGxkt_sTabyQ) However, the spaceman at $1000 was an appropriate choice. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fs31.postimg.org%2F5fsur4qqj%2Fbitcoinity2.jpg&t=665&c=FmJoiHA11NIolA) The memories man... <wipes away a tear> It's Bert BTW.

I thought I once saw them say the bought most of their coins in 2012. That would make them significantly cheaper. They also said they'd never sold a coin. They've done OK for themselves.

If they bought $11M worth of bitcoin around $10/btc, then they would have a million bitcoin. Impossible, no way in hell that they have 1 million bitcoin worth over $1T. Unless I'm confused and they had $11M worth of bitcoin in 2013 at $120/btc?? That would mean that they only invested like $1.1M in 2012 at $10/btc, giving them ~100K bitcoin. 1 million would be $1 billion, not $1 trillion. However, I believe that the number the claimed is 210,000 or 1% of the supply limit. Edited based on this: https://usahitman.com/wtcto1poab/

But I think I answered my own question, they must have invested around $1M or so in 2012.

But I think I answered my own question, they must have invested around $1M or so in 2012. If we assume their main stash was their 65 million Facebook payout, 1 million was bold but not suicidal. I'm doubt they would've gone much beyond that at such an early stage. And that 1 % figure was the supply at the time they bought in 2012. I'm pretty sure 100,000 is the most common figure bandied about.

I'm pretty sure 100,000 is the most common figure bandied about. That's what businessinsider says they own. It estimated 108,000 Bitcoins bought at a maximum of $15.40 each. That was 1% of all coins when there were only 10.8 million Bitcoins mined. http://www.businessinsider.com/the-winklevoss-twins-bitcoins-2013-4?IR=TThe Winklevii — as they are popularly known — say they own nearly 1 percent of that, or some $11 million."
There are 10.8 million bitcoins out there, so that means the Winklevii own about 108,000 of them.
...the Times notes that the 31-year old identical twins began buying up Bitcoins last summer. As of August 2012, the highest value Bitcoin reached was $15.40, so they are still sitting pretty.
