Winklevoss Twins on Bitcoin
Oops! There is nothing here yet.
Seema Mody interviewed the Winklevoss Twins on CNBC, where they expressed their belief that Bitcoin is poised to be among the top-performing assets in the current decade. "We think it will be the best performing asset of the current decade. Our thesis is that Bitcoin is gold 2.0 and it will disrupt gold. If it does that it has to have a market cap of $9 trillion. So we think bitcoin could price one day at $500,000 a bitcoin."
During the TechCrunch Disrupt event, the Winklevoss Twins engaged in a conversation with John Biggs, delving into various aspects of Bitcoin. Throughout the interview, they expressed a deep immersion in the world of Bitcoin, emphasizing their profound connection to Bitcoin. "We eat sleep breathe bitcoin every single second of the day."
During a holiday, Tyler Winklevoss recounted their introduction to Bitcoin, emphasizing their mutual fascination with its underlying concept. "We were on vacation, and happened to bump into a guy who is a mutual friend and he started to tell us about bitcoin. We were fascinated from day one."
In 2014, the Winklevoss Twins asserted that Bitcoin had the potential to surpass Facebook in significance. They contended that Bitcoin, unlike traditional currencies, fosters a culture of financial openness, empowering individuals in a unique way. "In the same way Facebook encouraged us to be socially open, bitcoin encourages us to be financially open."
