The Winkelvoss twins are genius! They will laugh over Zuckerberg when bitcoin will make everyone rich! Hahaha..

A fun fact: Did you know that they are not only very smart, but they are also excellent rowers?

not much has happened as expected. i think they should only use announcement dates for really important things such as the launch or so. not this.

The Winklevii has been working hard to get everything ready. Gemini should give a nice entrance of dollars in the market. A lot of people that don't know how to get in will be able to get in now, specially old money.

Hmm. That remains to be seen in the short term. With Coinbase and Itbit there are two legit US exchanges. I guess Gemini will make it that much cleaner with airtight regulation and some gloss but it's fundamentally not that different. It does lay more foundations for future excitement though.

Well, if nothing else we got a full dollar bump out of the anticipation of the so-called announcement. Either way, lots of positive news piling up that should pay off sooner or later. Keep adding to your stash, folks.

My guess is they say 'we are working with regulators to launch as soon as possible'
TBH, I don't think it's really their nature to 'hype' things, which is actually kind of refreshing in this space.
I can't, for example, see them standing up and throwing out freebies to an audience (they would probably drop most of them anyway  Cheesy)
But yeh, lot's of positive things keep piling up for the future, and my 'guess' may very well be proven wrong in a few hours  Wink

I think is all about their Gemini exchange, shouldn't be much on their ETF. You can watch the livestream here:
https://generalassemb.ly/watch/winklevoss-gemini-livestream-registration

I am not sure there will be any 'announcement' at all after reading this ... (clicking your link)

Quote
In this fireside chat, Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss will discuss what they think Bitcoin needs to succeed and why their new bitcoin exchange, Gemini, is a critical piece of the puzzle. In addition to Gemini, they will discuss their thoughts on why they think Bitcoin and blockchain technology are poised to change the world. The twins will also discuss their investment firm, Winklevoss Capital. Cameron and Tyler have invested in over 40 startups and they will share what they learned so far and what they look for in entrepreneurs and startups when making investment decisions

Could just be lots of bumbling and hand movements ... won't be staying up to watch  Wink
They never said there would be an announcement, that part has been purely speculative.
They just invited people to join them tonight for the 'chat' ...

I think, at best, we will get an estimate of when they hope to launch. If you go to the Gemini website, you can still sign up for the 'beta' stage, whereby you get earlier access and notification of launch.
