Yeah but every time i see their faces i kind of want to punch them. That's got to count for something.

Strange. I don't feel the same. And I doubt very few people are sharing your emotions here. And let's take a close look at the picture below. Tell me your emotions about it. Do you feel like punching him?
 


yeah he mark whalberg has a really douchey look too.. but i feel guilty when i think that, because how fair is it to judge someone based on their looks?

Who's there?
I'm not saying that they're lying but since they invested so much, it should probably be assumed that they are optimists, and might not notice things that could counter their optimism.

In fact every time I read a bullish bitcoin article lately, it's usually from one of three people:  winklevoss,  barry silbert, or bobby lee. It's getting old. I'd like to see it from someone else, preferably who is new to bitcoin.
Anyone's bullish opinion about bitcoin should be disregarded: If they're old in bitcoin, they're biased. If they're new in bitcoin, they don't know what they are talking about. Grin

I'll say, nothing is more pathetic than pump attempts by Barry Silbert and Bobby Lee. Especially Silbert. That is one grimy dude.

Every time i see a negative opinion in press or listen to some panel-it is always Professor Bitcorn, who seems to invite himself to these meeting (once he was not even on agenda, but mysteriously appeared anyway). I see bullish articles every day on ZeroBlock and from many people. What sources of info do you peruse-WSJ?

Why would I listen to bullish statements by someone who owned a million bitcoins?

As much as I would like to assume what they are saying is true, how can we trust what they say? Exactly. If I held as much as them, I'd pump and dump bitcoins too! Tongue

i don't trust the winklevi bros either, but it's a question or the chicken or the egg.. do they own bitcoin because they truly think it will become huge, or are they saying it because they are hoping they can pump the value of bitcoin (since they already own so many).

Though they invested in Bitcoin at the right time, they do not strike me as too bright.

how so? they were involved in facebook's inception, and bought BTC at the right now. now they are planning to open an ETF. they also went to one of the best schools in the country.

Yeah but every time i see their faces i kind of want to punch them. That's got to count for something.

i kind of get that feeling too, they do look kind of douchey. but i don't know much about them, and i kind of want to reserve judgment.. if they act like douchebags, then call them douchebags. if they don't, then don't base how you feel about someone entirely on how they look.

Their prediction isn't even very bullish, at least by the standards of this forum. According to that article, Facebook is worth $150bn. For Bitcoin to reach this as a market cap, the price per BTC would have to go to about $20,000, something that many regulars here think can happen within the next 18 months.



Brilliant logic!. 18 months seems a bit too fast from my viewpoint, but who knows.

Of course they want to say things like bitcoin is bigger than facebook.  They do have a huge steak.  Maybe they want to see it pump.  

Then if the coins are worth ten times as much, they might consider keeping a majority share of their coins so they can off shoot more bit businesses.

A ''next-gen'' transaction system VS social media, hmm what do you pick?
One of the great psychological appeals of bitcoin for the masses will also be the price increase.

The masses are not so interested in new techs they prefer fun facebook pictures, they dont understand Bitcoin yet. The higher prices will be fixed for them when the ''killerapp'' arrives where you can buy Bits.

Imo, Bitcoin ore crypto in general are much more important than facebook, so many markets that will rocket the prive beyond $20k.

Times like these makes one wonder on how the hell did they finish Harvard and Oxford. But then again, they were pretty good rowers.

a) Don't compare your current endeavors with a project that you were left behind from, probably causing an traumatic event. Comparisons like these smell of desperation and sadness.
b) Don't compare monetary services with social networking sites.

“Calling bitcoin volatile – it's a non-statement. Unregulated assets with unclear regulatory landscapes are always going to be volatile. That's what unregulated assets do," said Winklevoss. “I can make the same argument about the internet in the early days. But sure enough, technologists came and worked hard at the problem, and it’s getting better.”

Quote
This year, the Winklevoss twins predict, will be the year that Wall Street will get involved

I'd expect more from these guys than just pulling shit off the front page of /r/bitcoin!

As long as you take everything with a grain of salt, and (as you already noticed) try to see beyond the obvious "bullish propaganda bias", there's insight to be gained. The Winklevii are far from idiots, and while their portrayed optimism can (and should) be seen as an attempt to pump the price by exciting the masses, their words still carry weight, and I believe their stated opinions (at least to some degree) may reflect their actual, informed ones.
