đź’° The case for $500K bitcoin

PLUS: 3rd largest wallet

GM everyone. This is 2036, the crypto newsletter that pays you.

Here’s what we’re serving up today 🍲: if you’ve watched The Social Network, you know who the Winklevoss Twins are: tall, athletic, and rich. But their greatest contribution has nothing to do with Facebook.

Let’s dig in.

Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss are the most famous twins in tech.

They supposedly had the initial idea for Facebook. They allegedly told Mark Zuckerberg about it. But then Mark stole the idea and built his trillion-dollar empire.

After a lawsuit that turned into one of the greatest scenes in movie history, Zuck and the twins settled for $65 million.

In real life, the Winklevii actually look like this…

… and it turns out, they didn’t do so bad for themselves after all.

In 2013, the fantastic duo announced they owned roughly $11 million worth of bitcoin.

Rumors circulate that they bought bitcoin for as little as $8 apiece.

That bitcoin alone is worth $2 BILLION today. They also own a crypto exchange - Gemini - and a bunch of other digital assets.

So why am I telling you this?

Because in 2020, they wrote a blog post that became an instant must-read called The Case for $500K Bitcoin.

It’s one of the easiest bitcoin articles to understand. You’ll probably want to read it a few times a year - especially when prices are in the red.

It is always darkest before dawn.

Days like today are a good time to zoom out, focus on the bigger picture and remind ourselves why we own crypto in the first place.

And that’s what we’ll pay you to do today.
