Bitcoin First Dollar Billionaires
Quote from Ndubuisi Ekekwe on June 1, 2019, 8:32 AMSome risks do work - the Winklevoss twins made it big on Bitcoin by buying 1% of the total coin in circulation to become billionaires in USD when the digital currency rose.
This book begins with the final legal showdown with Zuckerberg. The twins emerge with a $65m settlement — not pocket change, but still a pittance compared with the wealth Facebook has generated. They put some of the money to good use. Cameron and Tyler were early to bitcoin. Starting in 2011 they bought up 1 per cent of all the bitcoin in circulation for a total of $11m. By late 2017, with the price of the cryptocurrency surging past $10,000, they were worth a combined $2bn, making them the billionaires of the title.
Interestingly, Bitcoin is rising again after the slump, and that means the twins will remain kingmakers in this game.
