By CCN Markets: The Winklevoss twins, Tyler and Cameron, playfully bragged that bitcoin is taking them to space — literally.

Tyler Winklevoss reminded crypto fans that five years ago, he and his brother used bitcoin to pay for a trip aboard billionaire Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic SpaceshipTwo.

Tyler tweeted:

“In January 2014, I bought a ticket to space on Virgin Galactic with bitcoin. The price of 1 BTC was $800. I won’t make that mistake again. I was reminded of this while sending a copy of ‘Bitcoin Billionaires’ to my friend Richard Branson. #ToTheMoon”
