Crypto exchange Gemini is about to go public. Took a look at the company’s background this morning and wow, it really proves that talented people can keep being awesome no matter the time or field. Gemini’s founders, Tyler Winklevoss and Cameron Winklevoss, are twin brothers. When I saw their names, I thought, why do they sound so familiar? Did a quick search and turns out it’s really them! I remember watching the documentary *The Social Network* about Mark Zuckerberg’s early days creating Facebook. A big part of the movie talks about how he joined a social software company founded by these two brothers, then went off on his own, leading to them suing him for stealing their ideas and assets. In the end, Zuckerberg paid them $65 million in compensation. In the movie, the brothers were portrayed as spoiled rich kids who ultimately lost out. But in real life? These two bought $10 million worth of Bitcoin back in 2012 when it was just $8 per coin. At its peak, their holdings were worth $1 billion. Later, they invested in a crypto exchange called Bitinstant, but it got shut down due to money laundering allegations. So, they decided to start their own exchange—Gemini—which is now about to go public with a $3 billion valuation.
