Bitcoin Believers
It was a chance encounter on a beach in Ibiza, Spain, in the summer of 2012 that would lead to Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss becoming two of the biggest investors in Bitcoin. While looking for lounge chairs on the celebrity-studded island, the Winklevoss twins ran into David Azar, a private investor from New York who recognized them and offered them his seat. Azar started talking about Bitcoin, the digital currency that has gained prominence this year for its wild price swings and for piquing the interest of regulators from New York to Germany.
