Looks like a very interesting venture. They seem really interested in Bitcoin. Not only the ETF, but also an exchange... I'm impressed, really! Even if their projects don't go to the moon instantly, it's important to have the vehicles ready as soon as the money starts to flow!

What do you people think: Do the twins already know the day their fund goes online or are they just as oblivious as anyone of us is? They could time the release of their projects in order to generate the "biggest bang possible" and boost their products.
They could even lie to the media spreading FUD so that they could buy up cheap coins.
Yeah but do you see them doing such a thing? I've yet to see them releasing negative rumors about their ETF or the exchange. This would just ruin their reputation. I guess it really bugs them they're not allowed to tell the media about the release date!
Not only that but the image of BTC is really fragile right now where the normal joe to this day still thinks that BTC is used for nothing but illegal activities... because that is all the big headlines they see repeated in the news.
Yeah, but I'm certain there are enough people at least slightly interested in Bitcoin who will jump on the train as soon as the next bubble starts and the media start reporting on Bitcoin on a daily basis again.

We should take it like this:

Over the past two and a half years, we have spent a great deal of time educating ourselves and others about Bitcoin; investing in bitcoin; investing in Bitcoin-related companies; filing an S-1 registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to create the Winklevoss Bitcoin Trust (an ETF focused on bringing bitcoin investment exposure to main street investors) which will list on NASDAQ; and launching a bitcoin price index called WinkDex that will price our ETF (online, iPhone, Android).
Interesting.
Plus I see insured I think that is a big part of what is keeping people out.

Does the fact that the Winklevosses are setting up an exchange suggest that their ETF application is not going to be approved? A fully licensed and regulated exchange could serve as an on-ramp for institutional investors.

if they do not fuck it up it is quite big news.
one of the most legimate critiques on bitcoin is the bottleneck problem, e.g. the point where the system interoperates with the fiat world.
this was up to this point valid, because you had to trust exchanges, which were run at best in a grey area of jurisdiction. these exchanges were almost solely responsible for the external price determination of bitcoin.
if they manage to reduce this problem they really strengthen the ecosystem of bitcoin.

Dead on man. Especially being a well funded New York exchange.
Let's hope they have lock down security.
Security through absurdity?

If it was a definite they'd be shouting it already surely?

Well, just go ahead and do whatever you can to push BTC forward! I think it's a great thing to have more and more competitors. People and investors will profit from the competition and the increased supply. It looks like there's a good 2015 ahead of us!

Shit is about to get real serious.

Time for the winkleyvossys to bring in the big money... bitcoin must look good to investors who wanna create a bubble for a nice x10 x20 move.
