Aaron PetersonHOST
Lacking Mark's coding prowess, in late 2003, they approached the talented sophomore for help.
Aaron PetersonHOST
So it was an afternoon in November when the Winklevosses rowed across the Charles.
Aaron PetersonHOST
Literally, they were Olympic-level rowers.
Aaron PetersonHOST
And they met Mark in the ornate halls of Harvard's Percillian Club.
Aaron PetersonHOST
On January 11, 2004, without telling the twins, Mark quietly registered thefacebook.com.
Aaron PetersonHOST
He had decided to build his site, now often just calling it The Facebook.
Aaron PetersonHOST
Two days later, he even emailed his friend, Eduardo Saverin, about his upcoming site and how they should launch and market it, without mentioning a peep of this to the Winklevosses.
Aaron PetersonHOST
You might ask, who is Eduardo Saverin? Well, you know him in the movies, Andrew Garfield.
Peter GallagherGUEST
Yeah.
Alex WardHOST
Even, even like Armie Hammer, the, the Winkle, the Winklevosses are like [laughs] just these incredible villains.
Edwin JanesHOST
Okay.
Edwin JanesHOST
I have a question about the Winklevosses, okay?
Alex WardHOST
Yeah.
Edwin JanesHOST
Winkle-vie as, uh-
Tony EdwardHOST
And look at the money these companies are raising because we're in that building stage, setting up the infrastructure for mass adoption.
Tony EdwardHOST
Final news item, the Winklevoss twins.
Tony EdwardHOST
We haven't heard from them in a while.
Tony EdwardHOST
They're Zcash ETF funders.
Tony EdwardHOST
As always, I'm here to make money, and if you're making money, I'm happy for you.
Tony EdwardHOST
And of course it's not possible to hold every coin, right? So I certainly have my winners in my portfolio and some that are lagging and not doing so great, but that's the nature of investing.
Tony EdwardHOST
But the Winklevoss twins, they've been at this for a long time.
Tony EdwardHOST
If you guys recall, they were the first to file for a Bitcoin ETF back in the day.
Brandon ArvanaghiGUEST
It was approved, I believe, by the NYDFS at the time.
Brandon ArvanaghiGUEST
But I got to give credit to the Winklevoss Twins on that.
Brandon ArvanaghiGUEST
It wasn't my idea.
Brandon ArvanaghiGUEST
I was an engineer.
Brandon ArvanaghiGUEST
I still think it had the best tech at the time.
Brandon ArvanaghiGUEST
Obviously, distribution, it didn't get to the same point of USDC and Tether.
Brandon ArvanaghiGUEST
They see around corners, the Winklevoss Twins.
Marco DeMeirelesHOST
What made it the best tech?
Elliot PetersHOST
There is a tension between the old world and the new world that's present in the social network, even aesthetically, down to the brick-built facades of the Harvard campus and the sleek tech startup offices inhabited by Mark and company as the film progresses.
Elliot PetersHOST
The Winklevosses continue to reside in a deposition chamber cloaked in dark oak wood and leather.
Elliot PetersHOST
Meanwhile, Eduardo, who is much more Mark's equal, faces deposition in the Silicon Valley floor-to-ceiling windows of the world that they built together.
Elliot PetersHOST
I think that the best scene that demonstrates the sort of subtextual underpinnings of the class theme in this film is the scene where the Winklevoss twins go to the president of the school in order to try to get the university to step in on their behalf.
John HumphreyHOST
These chuckleheads over here.
Mark ZuckerbergSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It really didn't have much to do with the Winklevosses dating site.
Cameron WinklevossSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
How, how would you know? You weren't even there.
Cameron WinklevossSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Oh, boy.
12 MINS LATER
John HumphreyHOST
Ugh.
John HumphreyHOST
What a wonderful world
Marilyn DelpySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
You must really hate the Winklevosses
Mark ZuckerbergSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I don't hate anybody.
ToriHOST
... a Winklevoss asked my sister out on a date.
ToriHOST
One of the Winklevosses.
Xaria ColemanGUEST
Ugh.
ToriHOST
I know.
speaker_2SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I just wanted to let you know that Zuckerberg stole our website.
speaker_2SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
They're saying that we stole the Facebook from Divya Narendra and the Winklevosses.
speaker_2SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I know what it says.
speaker_2SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Did we?
JVHOST
It was $11,000.
JVHOST
After the Winklevosses explained it to me, I got so confused, I sold it all.
JVHOST
It's now at $104,000.
JVHOST
I've been chasing it ever since.
Ran NeunerGUEST
And it was the same faces.
Ran NeunerGUEST
Like, I saw the Winklevoss brothers are speaking at, uh, Token 2049, and they're speaking about Zcash.
Ran NeunerGUEST
I was like, wow, I, I swear I've got a, a similar leaflet from 2016 or 2015 or whenever it was of them speaking about Bitcoin at some conference.
Ran NeunerGUEST
And so, like, for me, Zcash and the whole privacy around Zcash is super, super, super interesting.
