Winklevoss twins consider joining the Libra association despite being rivals with Mark Zuckerberg-the CEO of the social media giant Facebook. In today’s altcoin news we take a closer look at their plan.
The popular bitcoin billionaire twins and founders of the Gemini exchange say that they are willing to work with Zuckerberg on the new project. According to the reports on August 19th the twins are now allowing their notorious drawn-out settlement with the Facebook CEO stand in the way of a collaboration that could turn out to be something great. Whether or not that partnership will materialize, the Winklevoss twins consider that Libra represents a step towards mass adoption of cryptocurrency noting:
“I think there is a day in the future where we can’t live without crypto, or imagine a world before crypto.”
The Winklevoss twins have a proactive promotion of crypto-regulatory matters that could make the duo a great partner for Facebook given the widespread alarm that the Libra crypto project has already sparked among governments and regulators around the world. The twins revealed that they have been talking about joining the Libra association and the newly created independent governance consortium for facebook’s planned token which at the moment has about 28 founding members and is expected to expand to 100 by the time Libra launches. Tyler and Cameron noted that they will still have to learn more about the details of the project before they decide whether or not join the association as well as whether to list Libra on their own exchange- Gemini. The Libra association has reportedly declined to comment on any ongoing negotiations with the partners. According to one of the Cameron Winklevoss, Facebook may be the first tech giant to have attempted a native cryptocurrency launch but it won’t be the last:
“I think that internet companies have to have a crypto strategy, and I think a lot of them are thinking about their own coin projects. They’re probably watching Libra and Facebook to see how that fares as they develop it.”
He even predicted for the latest cryptocurrency news that Amazon, Netflix, Google, and Apple will follow a suit isolating the Amazon company giant saying:
“Amazon can probably get packages to literally any place in the world, even if the last mile is on a dirt bike or something […] very ironic, that the physical stuff we can move all around the world and we can’t get money to a lot of places around the world.”
