Have you watched the movie The Social Network? If yes, then did you believe in each and every plot point of it? If we go by the storyline of this movie, then Mark
Zuckerberg supposedly stole the whole concept of Facebook from the Winklevoss twins. And as we all know, Zuckerberg went on to become one of the youngest billionaires the world has ever seen. However, things didn’t all go down the drain for the Winklevoss brothers, instead they shaped pretty well. The brothers received a $65 million settlement, and they further went on to compete in the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
Sadly though, they still couldn’t be a member of the esteemed billionaire club. Things entirely changed when they recently went on to become billionaires, all because of the grace of Bitcoin.
For the limited laymen who still don’t know what it is, the cryptocurrency Bitcoin consists of a digital payment system, which is not secured or bound to any country or bank. Bitcoins are sometimes given a bad reputation because they are often associated with criminals and the dark web. But still, there are a lot of advantages of using a decentralized system such as cryptocurrencies. The best part about digital coins is that they turn out to be a fantastic investment decision. In just the previous year itself, the value of Bitcoin has increased by more than a whopping 1000%.
Even if you don’t have $65 million nested with you to invest like the lucky pair of brothers, it is still possible for you to make money off of Bitcoin.
