The Winklevoss brothers

The Winklevoss brothers, born on August 21, 1981, studied at Harvard University and Oxford University. During college, they founded the social networking site ConnectU, and then had a legal dispute with Mark Zuckerberg, accusing him of stealing their ideas and creating Facebook based on them. This lawsuit made them famous and eventually won financial compensation. Since 2012, the Winklevoss brothers have begun to invest in Bitcoin and established the Bitcoin fund Winklevoss Capital. They are optimistic about the development of Bitcoin and actively participate in investment and entrepreneurial activities in the field of cryptocurrency. In 2013, the Winklevoss brothers officially established the Bitcoin fund Winklevoss Capital and invested $1.5 million in a Bitcoin trading platform called "Bitinstant" with the intention of supporting the development of Bitcoin through this channel. However, in 2014, the CEO of the trading platform was arrested for suspected involvement in dark web transactions and black market money laundering activities, and the Winklevoss brothers were at a certain risk of being implicated in this matter. Six years ago, they used about 312 bitcoins to buy tickets for Virgin Galactic's "Spaceship 2", when the market value of bitcoin was $800 per coin, paying a total of $250,000 worth of bitcoin. On June 21, 2024, the Winklevoss brothers each donated $1 million worth of bitcoin (a total of 15.47 BTC) to the Trump campaign team and publicly stated that they would vote for Trump in the US election in November of the same year. $BTC
