Winklevoss Twins’s Role in Bitcoin Adoption
Winklevoss twins are bitcoin billionaires and are advocating the voice for Bitcoin for a long time. For crypto adoption, their work is unmatchable. Gemini’s latest launch in the UK markets is another example of crypto adoption. On September 10, Tyler Winklevoss said in a tweet:
“The European Central Bank’s refinancing rate is 0% and its deposit rate is -.5%. This means it is free to borrow money, but actually costs you money to save. This is both a potent recipe for inflation and powerful advertisement for #Bitcoin.”
