We look forward to sharing our story, Winklevoss twins say

Ben immediately understood the promise of cryptocurrency and was serious about telling its story to the world.
“Whether you are a longtime HODLer or have just arrived, we think you will enjoy the colorful, frontier days of the cryptocurrency revolution that Ben Mezrich has deftly captured in Bitcoin Billionaires. We look forward to sharing this story and bringing the early days of this revolution to theaters in partnership with Stampede Ventures,” the twins further added. With so many preparations already underway for the production and the premiering of the movie, a date has not been set for the promotion.
