Silicon’s favorite (or least favorite<\/a>, depending on what side of the coin you prefer) twins, the Winklevoss twins, have been deemed “Bitcoin moguls” in a new report from the New York Times<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The publication reports that the twins have “amassed since last summer what appears to be one of the largest portfolios of the digital money.” <\/p>\n

A couple choice quotes from the Winklevii: <\/p>\n

Cameron: \u201cPeople say it\u2019s a Ponzi scheme, it\u2019s a bubble. People really don\u2019t want to take it seriously. At some point that narrative will shift to \u2018virtual currencies are here to stay.\u2019 We\u2019re in the early days.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tyler: \u201cWe have elected to put our money and faith in a mathematical framework that is free of politics and human error.”<\/p>\n
