We discussed how crazy 2020 has been, as well as his passion for Bitcoin, personal life and outlook for 2021.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We started our conversation by digging into an article that he and his brother, Cameron, published in August titled \u201cThe Case For $500K Bitcoin.\u201d In this piece, they lay out a bullish case for Bitcoin and how they arrived at that number for its future price. I asked Winklevoss about this article\u2019s target audience and he told me that \u201cWe wanted this to be for everyone\u2026 we wanted it to be technical but approachable.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This is an article you can print out and leave with your family members over the holidays. If it doesn\u2019t orange-pill them, it will at least get some good conversation out of them.<\/p>\n<p>Later, we touch on The Great Reset. It turns out that Winklevoss hasn\u2019t wasted any cycles thinking about it and was quick to point out the lunacy of the state fixing the problem it created with more intervention. As a former Olympian, he is still focused on his health and we spoke about what works for him regarding physical and mental wellbeing. Spoiler alert: sugar bad, exercise good.<\/p>\n<p>As we wrapped up the recording, we touched on what\u2019s to come in 2021 and beyond. I\u2019ve watched Winklevoss from the sidelines for years and I respect what he\u2019s built. He\u2019s taken on the difficult challenge of developing Bitcoin-friendly regulations in New York and has ambitious plans to bring Gemini to the rest of the world in 2021. I have no doubt he will succeed \u2014 he\u2019s been a competitor his whole life and has a track record of excellence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Before this podcast, I had only a basic understanding of where Winklevoss\u2019s head is, but now it\u2019s clear to me. He might be a billionaire, but he\u2019s one of us. He\u2019s an ultra bull. He wants the state out of the business of money and he\u2019s a Bitcoin true believer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this interview with Gemini founder Tyler Winklevoss, he discussed \u201cThe Case For $500K Bitcoin,\u201d the State vs. money and more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2535,"featured_media":18085,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[1826,888,541,543],"class_list":{"0":"post-18084","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-culture","8":"tag-bitcoin-magazine-podcast","9":"tag-gemini","10":"tag-tyler-winklevoss","11":"tag-video"},"author_data":{"id":2535,"name":"Joe Rodgers","nicename":"joerodgers","avatar_url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=robohash&r=g"},"featured_image_url":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/tyler-winklevoss-bitcoin-ultra-bull.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18084","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2535"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18084"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18084\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18085"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18084"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18084"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18084"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
