Brother Cameron Winklevoss added that millennials would rather have software over hardware in their portfolios, meaning bitcoin over gold.

CNBC asked the twins to clarify if they meant some people are just too old to understand cryptocurrencies.

In comments that some might construe as ageist, Tyler Winklevoss said: "As you get older your brain loses its plasticity at some point and you get wedded to the frameworks that you have.

"You enter this world and you're taught money is this thing that's green, or it's this precious metal, and you start confusing what's familiar or what you use as what's real or the way things have to be.

"It's also a framework that's been embedded in, burned into your brain for let's say 65-70 years and maybe in some of these cases, examples, you're talking about 80 years. It's hard to like unlearn that or think about something new and look, if you're those individuals, the status quo is really good."

Winklevoss said there are many people in the world who have no access to a bank account and that critics are often a "privileged minority."

"If you go to Africa is there J.P. Morgan branches opening up there and banking the unbanked?"

He said that the payments system is "broken" and that cryptocurrencies are a way to fix it.

"The biggest joke is the fastest way to get money from NY to London is to jump on a plane with a bag of cash because if you try and wire something on Friday night it's not getting there until Tuesday," Winklevoss said.

They are correct, how can anyone deny it?
For example, they used Warren Buffett as an example in that article of the people who have criticised cryptocurrency...

Have CNBC with every media outlet forgot already that Warren didn't even want to touch Apple for YEARS because he didn't understand the value of the "new tech"?
He said that himself in an interview so the fact that they are using him as an example around crypto's are just.. ugh.

He's right though. With VR, sex dolls, and AI waifus on the horizon, people are going to care less and less about "muh shiny rock" and more about digital gold. If you marry a girl in VR, do you need to give her a real gold ring? No.

>trusting jewish backstabber codemonkey over greek gods who had the idea
bet you're a software engineer yourself and come with a superiority complex
look, let's sort this out once and for all
billions of humans on earth
out of these, most are retarded
hundreds of millions have somewhat functioning brains
hundreds of thousands are smart enough to make functional implementations of concepts <- that's you, zucc, wosniak
only a few hundreds have the intelligence AND vision necessary on all levels to make great world-changing ideas <- that's the chad twins, vitalik, steve jobs
yes i put jobs over wosniak when it comes to getting things done. latter is a great guy but would have done nothing left on his own
accept it or stay bitter
