If Winklevoss tried to cash out, they’d probably crash the Bitcoin market

This seems to be inaccurate. The twins could choose to simply sell the private key in a private transaction. Assuming they didn't create one wallet with 50,000 bitcoin, they could even sell portions. This gets them paid AND puts the onus for moving the coins to a new address on the new owner. They could exit in 5 minutes if another billionaire wanted their coins bad enough.

<i>&quot;Typical trading volumes across the major exchanges are only about $2 billion globally&quot;</i><p>Sounds like they could just sell ~$20M everyday, which would account for only 1% of the daily trading volume. After ~50 days, they would have cashed out $1B.

Same with buffet

Winklevosses

Dont we know this by now?

It&#x27;s the same with Bill Gates but nobody&#x27;s doubting he&#x27;s rich.
