It’s a story that I’ve always wanted to dig into because if you were to tell me that 2 guys who came up with the idea for what became Facebook, had that idea very sneakily more or less stolen from them, would then go on to get involved in bitcoin at a time when it was only worth $13 dollars and predict that it would reach $40,000 and were laughed at by many for that prediction, become the first bitcoin billionaires and would found a company that has striven to ensure that bitcoin and digital currencies are regulated, attempt take that whole sector out of the wild west image that still casts a cloud over it, I would think that these 2 guys would be seen as heroes, the good guys and yet in many people’s minds, the Winklevoss twins are the assholes- why is that? It makes for a great story, so let's look into it.
