Winklevoss twins: Bitcoin will be bigger than Facebook. The brothers, two of the most influential players in a new generation of investors, say bitcoin will encourage financial openness.

Remember, the Winklevii are trying to set up an ETF so they can dump their Bitcoins. They need to find enough suckers.

I don't think hey are trying to dump their bitcoin. I think they are trying to profit off of bitcoin. They will obviously sell a portion of their bitcoin when the ETF starts trading, but I think they hope to be able to make most of their money from the fee that the ETF charges it's holders (the management fee). I would also not be surprised if a fee what charged anytime that an AP exchanges the ETF for BTC or BTC for the ETF.

ETF fee is normally 1-2%. Doubt they can charge more than this.

Kind of make me wonder, why they want to go thru so much trouble to make 1-2% a year. There are other way to make more money easily.

1-2% on the money others invest. Not their money. Grin
