I just don't get it. I mean, I use to think that they are total tools, but more I hear about them, more my appreciation grows for them.

Probably from their portrayal in the movie, where they are painted as somewhat arrogant rich kids. Most people cannot differentiate realty from fantasy.
I don't have any problem with them. I really don't care about them one way or the other.

People can't differentiate between the movie and real life.

It must suck having your first impression forever ruined by a movie. |

Maybe it is because of jealously? They have 1% of all Bitcoins!

Never saw the movie.
Don't care who they are.
Don't care what they do.

Hatred is relative. Anyways they came from the educational conveyor belt of powers-that-be. That's why we hate them and because they lost in the Beijing Olympics.

The problem with the Winklevii is that it's pretty damn obvious they got into Bitcoin primarily due to its speculative potential, not so much because they believe on it. We know for a fact they are driven by money.

What's wrong about being driven in money? I am also driven by money, but that doesn't mean that I'm not interested about technology and economics behind Bitcoin. Besides how many other multimillionaire jocks you know that are interested in Bitcoin? If they weren't interested about Bitcoin or about technology in general they could be partying around the clock. The fact that they use their time and money instead in Bitcoins shows clearly that they are interested in it. |

Anybody actually know if they are jocks as in the movie?
Separately, are they annoying as in the movie?
Have they always been from a monied background?
And is Facebook actually a ripoff of their site contrary to the lawsuit? What was their site called?

If it was up to them alone, we wouldn't have Facebook because someone with actually skill was needed to implement the idea. The twins are a moral hazard and may not have the permission to spend family money. How far will they go to get back at Mark? |

I have a huge respect for a Mark and he is one of my heroes. And it is clear that it was Zuck's vision that made Facebook what it is today. But you have to see both sides of the coin. If you would hire an engineer to develop your site and he would made you believe that he was working on it, but then out of blue he would publish himself website that has lot of similarities with your site. Wouldn't you be pissed off? And honestly: If that site would one day be worth of billions, wouldn't you sue him? |

This sounds like the book "The Robots of Dawn" where the people think Elijah is like in the movie |

They are the classic example of software startup failure due to lack of programming talent.

I wouldn't call them a failure. I mean what kind of car are you driving? What kind of girls are you dating? How much money do you have in your bank account? Truth is that Winklewiis are winners in this life. |
