Winklevoss Twins Bet on Bitcoins

Friday, 12 April 2013 | by Pat's Picks

The Winklevoss twins are back in the news this morning, and it has nothing to do with fights over Facebook. The New York Times says the “Winklevii” are setting themselves up to be bitcoin moguls. Since last summer, the brothers have amassed what appears to be about $11 million of the digital currency—or they did before the bitcoin market crash yesterday sending the market tumbling. But the twins say that’s to be expected as the currency grows into “a sort of gold for the technorati.”
