"From Facebook Betrayal to Crypto Billionaires: The Winklevoss Twins' Story

In 2004, Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss hired Mark Zuckerberg to develop their social network idea, but he launched Facebook without them. After a lawsuit, they received $65 million in 2008.

Instead of giving up, they held onto their Facebook shares, which soared to $200 million when the company went public in 2012.

In 2013, they discovered Bitcoin and bought 1% of all circulating coins for $11 million, despite people thinking they were crazy.

They founded Gemini Exchange in 2015, bringing trust and regulation to the crypto world.

By 2017, their Bitcoin investment was worth $1.3 billion, and by 2021, their crypto empire was worth billions.

Today, they're working to mainstream crypto, pushing for clear laws and investing in blockchain ideas.

Lessons from their story:

- Turn rejection into opportunity

- Recognize trends early and invest

- Think long-term

- Educate your market

- Be curious

- Don't let "no" stop you

The Winklevoss twins' story is a masterclass in turning setbacks into opportunities."
