Gemini.com domain acquired by Winklevoss Twins
The premium domain name Gemini.com has been acquired by Winklevoss brothers for their new venture in the Bitcoin exchange market.
According to the whois records, the domain was acquired in October, 2014 and was put to use on January 25, 2015.
Whois records show the domain name is owned by Gemini IP, LLC and holds a Gemini Holdings, LLC gmail email address. The website itself links the site with the Winklevoss twins.
Here is what they said about their venture in a blog post:
"So, why the name “Gemini”? After white-boarding a list of possible names for several weeks, we settled on Gemini for a host of reasons. Gemini is the Latin word for “twins” and as such, it inherently explores the concept of duality. We were drawn to this both because of the two worlds of money (old and new) that will intersect on the Gemini platform as well as the two-way nature of trade that it will facilitate. But that’s not all. Once we picked our name, a fun fact emerged. We realized that NASA’s Project Gemini was a spaceflight program focused on laying the groundwork for Apollo’s later mission to land man on the Moon. As such, it was coined (no pun intended) man’s “bridge to the moon”. In this spirit, we’ve built Gemini to be “your bridge to the future of money”. Oh, and Tyler and I just happen to be identical twin brothers.
