Barstool Sports is a famous blog in the US (which ranks around 5,600 worldwide on Alexa) that covers all pop culture stories that (mostly) interest men.

The president Dave Portnoy, is well known in his country for his weird and controversial videos and has about 2 million followers on social media channels (1.7 million on Twitter). Yesterday he posted an interview with Miley Cyrus on his vlog.

Recently he also started his own trading channel (a bit in the style of Jim Cramer) and invited the Winklevoss twins via social media to teach him all about Bitcoin.

In fact, Portnoy’s fans encouraged him to invest in Bitcoin, and he thought these twins, who founded the crypto company Gemini, were the best people to explain it.

His only condition was that they put on their clothes from the The Social Network movie.

For those she doesn’t know, Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss are the Harvard twins who started a lawsuit against Mark Zuckerberg. Their story was filmed in the 2010 blockbuster The Social Network.

The brothers came to meet Portnoy and explained everything about Bitcoin and crypto to him.

DaveCoin pump and dump

Dave also said that his fans had told him to start his own coin, a so-called DaveCoin, which he could pump and dump. The Winklevoss twins said this might not be a good idea.

The President of Barstool Sports also acknowledged during the conversation that he now has $1 million in crypto, especially Bitcoin, and he also bought $50k of Chainlink (although we don’t know at what price).
