Apparently people think its the Winklevoss' since they claimed to have bought ~1% of all BTC and the amount moved nicely coincides with about 1%



So if this currency does become ubiquitous the Winklevoss' will be the kings of the world? God dammit.


That certainly is kind of a dark prospect. Random people a mixture of varying degrees of foresight, money, and luck, suddenly becoming the richest people on the planet.

Gates built an empire. Yet the Winklevoss' will eclipse his wealth if BTC goes up just a few factors.

I don't begrudge people their gains, I'm just thinking about the seismic shift in power.


I believe the correct term is Winklevi.


I think Winklevii is more commonly used on reddit


They should really do a startup:

www.winklevoss.com

The original social network.


It couldn't be them - this was an odd number of bitcoins.


I know humor is forbidden, but I laughed out loud at this anyway. I felt compelled to comment because this is a difficult joke to setup in every day conversation.


Humor isn't forbidden, it's just really risky. If a joke is lame or offensive or obvious or falls flat, you'll be punished.
