Topic: Why there is so much hatred towards the Winklewii? (Read 2210 times)
If you saw the movie (or even if you didn't) you should really read the book it's based on: The Accidental Billionaires.
They look like inbred elitists.
their chins can be used as a flotation device.

I don't hate them but the movie gave me a bad first impression.
they failed. MESERABLY!
They made millions with the law suit. How is that failing miserably? How much money have you made in your life?
They only made millions because they had the random and lucky fortune to have chosen Zuckerberg as their programmer. Best thing that ever happened to them.
They are essentially lottery winners. I generally don't judge someone's merit by virtue of the fact that said person won a lottery.

I'm almost sure they tried to screw zuckerberg and ended up getting screwed themselves. It's really hard to cheat an honest person.
Now mark is a BILLIONARE in stocks leaving us with these heart broken Douche seeking a second chance.
The twins are attempting to match zuckerberg success with the help of Bitcoin, as if this is some kinda love triangle....

Well I am pretty sure that twins made also more money with Facebook than what your whole family will made in their whole lifetimes. It is not like they went broke or something. I mean, camoon...
they defintly tried to bully zuckerberg into doing what they wanted thinking they could control the nerd. they failed. MESERABLY! now lets move onto something that seems to have monitary value on the internet so lets try and bullly the bitcoin community. they are going to fail miserably.
one of their sponsors are bitinstant, idk whats going on with bitinstant but they arent doing transactions thatts for sure.

they got jacked by a gross little nerd like zuckerberg

hahaha omg your soooooo right!!! they got the only recognition they would hve ever gotten!
The problem with the Winklevii is that it's pretty damn obvious they got into Bitcoin primarily due to its speculative potential, not so much because they believe on it. We know for a fact they are driven by money.
If I recall correctly, at one time--not too long ago--us bitcoiners were seeking any notables to embrace Bitcoin regardless of their personal motives for doing such. Reason being is that a rising tide raises all ships.
Should we halt Worpress's embracing of Bitcoin simply because they may have done so for the potential profit oppose to only loving its fundamentals?
To paraphrase some movie line, "Profit is good!"

Actually, they are not. The only reason they have money is because:
So what? It's all about bucks, rest is just conversation. Even if you win by luck, you are still winner.
Here's another tidbit of info: Really good programmers go on to become venture capitalists. And they know how to pick good startups founded by programmers (with passion).
The twins are neither programmers with passion, nor venture capitalist material. What they are is a pair of aspiring venture capitalists who are too stupid to realize that they shouldn't be in that business.

Sure, but there are exceptions to every rule (Im not saying that the twins are, but that doesn't matter). Some of the best VCs are from non-programming backrounds. In your view someone like Peter Thiel isnt VC material? Well, quess what? He is.
They are the classic example of software startup failure due to lack of programming talent.
I wouldn't call them a failure. I mean what kind of car are you driving? What kind of girls are you dating? How much money do you have in your bank account?
Truth is that Winklewiis are winners in this life.
Actually, they are not. The only reason they have money is because:
A. They started out with some.
B. The got lucky when they chose their programmer.
Although their programmer bailed on them, it just so happened that Facebook happened.
Imagine if they hadn't chose Zuckerberg. Two things most likely would've happened:
1. The programmer would've been compliant, and the twins would've been calling the shots. Likely, nothing huge would've happened.
2. The programmer wouldn't have been very good.
You see, it actually takes programmers to determine if programmers are any good at what they do. That's the number two rule in venture capital. Number one is passion.

Oh pleeeease, just look at these people.
Tell me you can look at these douches without feeling an ever growing need to bash their faces in, I dare you.
Look at this shit.
Loooooook at this.
Here's a stick. Here's a head. You know you want to. Let that desire consume you.
Can you hear the "Splorrrcht" in your mind? How good it sounds? Can you imagine the wails of the brother yet unhit? The symphony of broken organs?
Indulge yourself. Let there be hurt and let there be pain.

Because people don't seem to understant that it's called a movie, not a documentary, for a reason.
I don't hate the Winkelvoss twins, I don't really hate Zuckerburg either, I do think they're a bunch of douchebags though, it's a bit like some of the internet drama you see even on this forum where you see two people having a clearly private fight in an extremely public way and are taking advantage of the attention they're getting when it's just totally unnecessary. The only reason I myself use facebook is because unfortunately most of my friends use it, I tend to just use it for messaging and chatting, I do think you have to be a complete fool to broadcast your life like that as well which is why I jerk facebook around by not posting any of my real details up etc. lol

Yeah, it's good people like them are taking an interest in Bitcoin I suppose, it just goes to show you that Bitcoin is becoming a real currency because if they're learning about it then it won't be long before everyone else joins in too.

I have a huge respect for a Mark and he is one of my heroes. And it is clear that it was Zuck's vision that made Facebook what it is today.
A cesspool of idiocy filled with kitten pictures and advertisements to help someone on their virtual farm?
Facebook hasn't been cool in years.
