Winklevoss Twins Unfazed Amid Crypto Winter, Launches Gemini Mobile

Gemini Goes Mobile, Launches Crypto App

On Tuesday morning, amid a continued imbroglio in crypto markets, New York-headquartered Gemini unexpectedly conveyed a surprising announcement to its following and clients. In a blog post, co-founder and CEO Tyler Winklevoss explained that his upstart would be introducing an in-house mobile platform tied to its flagship product — the world-renowned Gemini Exchange.

— Gemini (@Gemini) December 11, 2018

Starting today, users of the platform, often lauded as one of Coinbase’s foremost competitors, will be able to download the so-called “Gemini Mobile App” on iOS and Google Play. The application, which joins similar initiatives from Binance, Coinbase, and Poloniex, will purportedly act as an ecosystem to purchase and sell cryptocurrency, a portfolio tracker, price alert provider, and as a pseudo-wallet.

Gemini’s newest program will also facilitate a feature dubbed “Buy The Cryptoverse,” which like Coinbase Bundle and similar vehicles, allows traders to issue basket buy/sell orders for all cryptocurrencies listed on Gemini, weighed by relative market capitalization.

According to Google Play, since the application was released approximately seven hours ago (at the time of writing), it has been downloaded “500+” times. It remains to be seen whether the upstart’s foray into the mobile realm will garner traction from Bitcoin enthusiasts.

Regardless, this endeavor comes down to Gemini’s, and in turn, the Winklevoss Twins’ unrelenting drive for innovation in the cryptosphere, as they see this nascent asset class as the “future of money.” Harvard graduate Tyler Winklevoss, known for his involvement in the controversial Mark Zuckerberg/Facebook case, wrote:

We began our mission to buildthe future of money by creating a licensed cryptocurrency exchange and custodian that allows our customers to buy, sell, and store cryptocurrency in a safe, secure, and compliant manner. A trusted and regulated platform, however, is just the beginning. The future of money is both digital and mobile, and now Gemini is too with the launch of the Gemini Mobile App!

The industry insider closed off the product’s inaugural announcement by claiming that Gemini, which self-describes itself as “the world’s most trusted cryptocurrency platform,” will now be available “into your hands” at a consumer’s beck and call.

The news of this mobile application comes just days after the U.S.-centric platform launched support for Bitcoin Cash (BCH), following its contentious hard fork in mid-November, as reported by Ethereum World News previously.

Winklevoss Twins: “We’re Totally At Home In [Crypto] Winter”

As news broke regarding the product’s launch, Bloomberg released a piece outlining an interview it had with the prominent twins, who reportedly bought up 1% of all Bitcoin (BTC) in circulation following their multi-million dollar settlement with Mark Zuckerberg. Tyler claimed that “we’re totally home in winter,” highlighting the growing sentiment that crypto and blockchain technologies are in the midst of a multi-month lull, as made evident by BTC’s dismal performance.

Yet, like venture capital legend Tim Breyer, the twins seemed calm, adding that 2018’s market tumult has allowed Gemini to “build internally, and refine and kind of catch out breath.” The two went on elaborate on their plans for 2019, claiming that enticing users onto its mobile application will be a priority. The Winklevoss duo added that “a lot of their decisions” have been retail-based, contrary to the sentiment that Gemini is a platform slated for institutional players. As such, the Gemini heads then noted that they intend to make a foray into the Asian Bitcoin market in 2019, hopefully gaining on its crypto competitors in Bitfinex, Digifinex, and Huobi.

In short, Tyler, speaking on behalf of his brother and himself, told Bloomberg:

We’re in this for the long haul… We think it’s a space that’s here to stay

Diário de viagem

Ir para Europa sem saber inglês fluente

Ter a sorte de sentar ao lado de um português de Portugal no avião que me ajudou a colocar o fone de ouvido

Rir que nem uma retardada com um filme de comédia durante a viagem

Jantar no Mc Donald's de Münich

P1 Festa Cubana também em Münich

Comida à kilo no aeroporto da Bélgica

Troco em chocolate na Turquia

Quase perdi o vôo para Frankfut

Primeira vez bebendo álcool provando a cerveja Bávara em Vilsek interior da Alemanha

Gastei metade dos meus euros em comida e só tirei 5 fotos a viagem inteira

Fui numa boate super elite com cassino e tudo mas fantasiada de alemã com a roupa típica que ganhei lá, e voltei quando cheguei na porta vendo o look festa e salto alto das mulheres, terminei a noite comendo biscoito de uma farmácia hahahah

Peguei 2 livros na estante pública da praça de Münich numa estação de metrô que não recordo o nome

Falei com um alemão sem entender nada

Tive a sorte (benção) de estar presente no casamento da minha melhor amiga na França em Nice

Não andamos nada pra conhecer e só ficamos em casa comendo, dormindo e jogando na beira da piscina

Viajei namorando um cara que achei que seria o homem da minha vida

Voltei solteira e sabendo que príncipes não existem, mas ainda acredito no amor!

Fiquei dura sem dinheiro no Brasil e tentei trocar os euros

Não consegui trocar nada porque moedas em euro não se trocam

Continuei pobre mas com muita história pra contar

Isso é resumo de um diário de viagem que ninguém nunca vai entender porque minha letra é ilegível e eu encontrei nesse domingo à tarde!

Bonjour! Day 15

So I'm in vilsek germany staying with my friend collin who is stationed here. Last night we went and got german food at gashaust and it was delicious strudel is so good. Then we hopped on the train and came from nurnberg to vilsek we wound up watching indiana jones till we both just passed out. Then this morning we went to flossbürg concentration camp. Its a very sobering place. Such a shame that a place that is that beautiful was used for something so terrible. Then after that we hiked up a mountain to the bürg or castle. It was so incredibly beautiful. Its only the 2nd castle I've ever seen but it was spectacular and the views are amazing. Now we are going to a giant sand hill. I'm a little terrified cause you go down it on these tobogans like its sledding or something. I have to say getting here is the best 200 bucks I've ever spent

Hallo! Day 15 cont'd

Ok so first that sand mountain it was like a rollercoaster and so much fun! We went twice and the first time I pissed collin off a bit cause I took a pic at the top lol then we got lunch yummy schnitzel jager. Then we went dirt biking. No I'm not kidding. I got on a dirt bike and spilled 3 times taking out a sign. Then after that I was like no I'm done so a really awesome german guy let me hop on his bike and it was a blast. Collin is never gonna let me forget those spills but I've got a feeling I'm gonna have some killer bruises. O and my jeans are all torn up now. Now we are heading back to base to clean up and go to see white house down. I freaking love germany though and today was one of the best days of my life and its still going. Vivre la vie au maximum
