ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss are the co-founders of Gemini, a cryptocurrency exchange and custodian, to empower the individual through crypto. Gemini is a New York Trust company that allows customers to buy, sell, and store crypto such as Bitcoin, Bitcoin cash, Ether, Zcash, and Litecoin.
While being identical twins, Cameron is left-handed and Tyler is right-handed. This seemingly creates a complementary skillset between the two. Utilizing the unique partnership has led to a life full of start-ups that always seek to solve a problem. This started with the creation of the high school rowing team, then with roles coming up with the idea for Facebook, and ultimately forays in the crypto asset space. Predicting global currency inflation caused by money printing and stimulus spending, investors will need to find protection. Gold was historically the best way to guard against inflation, but Bitcoin offers an even better solution. “Bitcoin is basically the expression of gold in that digital sense. When you line up all the properties, it’s not really a fair fight. Bitcoin is far superior to gold across the board.”
The growth of Bitcoin is inevitable as it lives on the Internet and is accessible wherever someone has a connection. Bitcoin will be able to coexist alongside existing government-backed currencies and will ultimately see its mainstream acceptance. Gemini serves as a crypto platform where individuals can more easily access this new alternative asset class.
