I think he should bet against the future value of bitcoins and see whether he is going to lose or win but I seriously believe that he is going to lose though but that wouldn’t put even a dent in his fortune.

The Winklevoss brothers are the first bitcoin billionaires and they put a large amount of their asset in bitcoin as they believe bitcoin has a good future. Bill Gates was first having a good thought on bitcoin and was even planning to integrate bitcoin with microsoft excel features but with the price of bitcoin going down tremendously Gates have changed his mind about how he thinks of bitcoin.

This was to be expected, Bill Gates talks a lot of talk but never walks the walk. +1 for the Winklevosses, not only for the comment but also for their support and believe in bitcoin in a early stage (not the earliest but still).

The statement of Winklevoss is right because he invested money in bitcoin so he know and understand the benefits of bitcoin so he also a billionaire likes Bill gates. I think he also working on internet and his business also internet based so he should think about crypto currenys future and how beneficial for people to trading in business also easier to them. There is restriction free, secure trading only in bitcoin who giving this types of facilities.

Not sure why the winklevoss twins are potentially goading somebody who could absolutely collapse the entire bitcoin network if he really wanted to. I mean, it's actually not that hard for billionaires, governments and certain corporations.

Bill Gates previously said a lot of good stuff about Bitcoin. But when Bitcoin price started falling he stepped back from his word.On the other hand, Winklevoss twins always believed in Bitcoin and invested a lot time to time. It's kind of right on their part to say so.

Don't let others control your BTC -> self custody

You're overestimating Gates, a man that thinks that if you aren't producing anything you should have no value. He's a communist at heart. You have to contribute to society or you're a waste of space. I hate such people and I also don't value Gates since he made some idiotic statements in the past like that one about 32 bit systems. How could he collapse the network if he doesn't even know how to short BTC and finds it difficult

I think Winklevoss brothers are trying to tell Bill Gates to concentrate on his stronghold and stop interfering in matters he has little knowledge of. If he has no believe in bitcoin, he should allow those with maximum interest to mine their business.

I'm not in neither sides but honestly, the Winklevoss twins are right; . They are the ones who have invested tons in bitcoin yet here comes Mr. Gates talking out loud without having spent a single dime on cryptocurrencies. I admire the man (Gates) for doing humanitarian work but seriously he needs to stop laying his hands on subjects he don't have a clear understanding of. Whatever works, I guess. Bitcoin still gains the ultimate attention at the end of the day.

I don’t think Gates has the time or could be bothered to get involved in a silly battle of wits. He’s a bit like Warren Buffett in the sense that he’s uber rich & will always be sceptical of anything new that he doesn’t fully understand. He won’t have the motivation or drive to replicate what he’s already done.

Gate needs to take his time and study bitcoin/cryptocurrency full well and try to understand the market as well. as I can remember gate was very much in support of BTC way back not until he starts to have wrong motives towards BTC lately. with all said 'Putting your money where your mouth is, is the best option

I expect Bill Gate to understudy the details about the technology behind Bitcoin and cryptocurrency and not just condemn the platform,sure many of the riches people in the world will be overthrown by Bitcoin investors globally in few years to come.

That was my first thought as well. It seemed like Tyler Winklevoss was just being provocative. Then again, Gates actually said, "I would short it if there was an easy way to do it." That's a pretty dumb thing to say, given that regular retail traders can easily short CME futures on E-Trade, etc. I'm guessing Bill doesn't want to short BTC for more sensible reasons...

Bill Gates were a supporter of bitcoin early on but gradually lost interest due to the fallen price maybe. I rally appreciare what Winklevoss said.He is a He is a billionaire and founder Gemini crypto exchange and has explained the matter too well as a reply of Bill Gates twit saying the money should be put where the mouth is.

Now a day’s people are more serious about where they are investing. People have a positive mindset about bitcoin so if any person wants to decrease bitcoin popularity it can't work.

Good comment by Winklevoss. They know better the future of bitcoin and already made a lot by investing here. But Bill Gate's turning from bitcoin made him disappointed and thus made this kind of complement.
