Chinese officials visited Moscow's central bank, finance ministry, and other key agencies to analyze how Russia navigated economic restrictions. This proactive approach speaks to fears China may have over its $3.3 trillion in foreign reserves and overseas bank assets, which would face significant restrictions under Western sanctions. In an effort to mitigate these risks, China is working to diversify away from dollar-denominated assets and reduce reliance on US Treasury bonds, which underpin the global financial system. This comes amid escalating tensions with the US after Washington approved an arms shipment to Taiwan, prompting Beijing to vow “resolute countermeasures.” FinancialFreedomReport.org - BDK Code Audit https://bitcoindevkit.org/blog/_2024-q4-code-audit/ - Eclair v0.11.0: Official Bolt 12 Support, Splicing, Liquidity Ads & On-The-Fly Funding Prototypes https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/eclair-v0-11-0/ - Damus Notedeck Alpha Now Available to Purple Subscribers https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/damus-notedeck-v0-2-0/ - Coinbase says to not use VPNs https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/coinbase-asks-users-to-stop-using-vpns-and-ad-blockers/ - Alex Mashinsky: founder of bankrupt crypto firm to plead guilty to fraud https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/dec/03/alex-mashinsky-crypto-fraud-celsius - U.S. Officials Urge Americans to Use Encrypted Messaging Apps https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/u-s-officials-urge-americans-to-use-encrypted-messaging-apps/ - Corporate Transparency Act blocked nationwide by Texas judge https://news.bloombergtax.com/daily-tax-report/corporate-transparency-act-blocked-nationwide-by-texas-court - what bitcoin did relaunches - 1123 days, shoutout to yellow https://x.com/ICOffenderII/status/1864574706583547911 0:00 - Intro 3:52 - Let's gooooooooo 11:57 - Bitstein video 16:30 - Trump says you're welcome 18:15 - Shoutout to Yellow 20:29 - Dashboard 27:15 - Strike launches bill pay 30:47 - Putin bitcoin comment and BRICS talk 38:38 - Healthcare assassination 41:41 - HRF Story of the Week 43:34 - Boosts and Primal/Fountain talk 50:47 - Software updates 57:22 - Coinbase says no vpns 1:00:09 - Mashinsky guilty plea 1:08:15 - Marty failed Barstool 1:11:07 - US officials encourage encrypted comms 1:22:34 - Corp Transparency Act blocked 1:27:22 - WBD relaunch 1:29:40 - Get back to work Shoutout to our sponsors: Unchained https://unchained.com/concierge/ Coinkite https://coinkite.com/ Stakwork https://stakwork.ai/ TFTC Merch is Available: Shop Now https://merch.tftc.io/ Join the TFTC Movement: Main YT Channel https://www.youtube.com/c/TFTC21/videos Clips YT Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUQcW3jxfQfEUS8kqR5pJtQ Website https://tftc.io/ Twitter https://twitter.com/tftc21 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/tftc.io/ Follow Marty Bent: Twitter https://twitter.com/martybent Newsletter https://tftc.io/martys-bent/ Podcast https://tftc.io/podcasts/ Follow Odell: Nostr https://primal.net/odell Newsletter https://discreetlog.com/ Podcast https://citadeldispatch.com/

Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) has decided to move forward with Marc Mukasey as his defense counsel in his criminal case related to the collapse of his crypto exchange FTX. This is despite prosecutors raising concerns about a potential conflict of interest given Mukasey's previous representation of Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky.Mukasey, a former federal prosecutor in Manhattan, is currently representing Mashinsky on charges that he allegedly inflated the price of Celsius' crypto token and earned $42 million selling his personal tokens. Given that SBF's trading firm Alameda Research has past dealings with Celsius, prosecutors questioned whether Mukasey could fairly represent both men.However, when appearing in court on Wednesday for the first time since being indicted, SBF told Judge Lewis Kaplan he was comfortable retaining Mukasey and his associate Torrey Young for his defense team. SBF stated he had consulted with his previous lawyers, Mark Cohen and Christian Everdell, about the possible conflict. Cohen and Everdell will now seek to withdraw from SBF's case, clearing the way for Mukasey and Young to take over.For his part, Mukasey argued to the court on Tuesday that his firm believes they can "fairly represent" both Bankman-Fried and Mashinsky in their respective cases. SBF remains detained at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center since his arrest in December 2022.The high-profile case against SBF continues to develop. The 30-year old founder of the now-bankrupt FTX faces charges of fraud and money laundering that could see him imprisoned for the rest of his life. His willingness to overlook Mukasey's potential conflict of interest signals SBF's desperation to begin crafting a defense strategy alongside the experienced trial lawyer.

Nick is a big proponent of self-sovereignty, and the idea of buying $80,000 worth of 1's and 0's and that being protected by a password terrifies him. Meanwhile, a bunch of guys from Wall Street are just playing games with your money and will leverage that. The financial crisis is proof of that, and there is risk no matter what. After losing Celsius to bankruptcy, Nick believes that the founder Mashinsky and FTX are not evil, but rather, were enticed by power which led to the eventual downfall of his company and the continuous struggle of bitcoin and cryptocurrency to find its way to mainstream banking methods.Trans Kids and De-TransitioningNick shares his stance on kids who decide to transition at an early age. They can potentially face multiple issues such as social stigma, lack of understanding from parents, adults, and authority figures, medical concerns, and bullying from other kids. There's also the possibility that once they grow older, they regret their decision and decide to de-transition. It's a difficult journey to go through, and it helps to be surrounded by a good support system, and Nick shares how he has lost friends over his fight on kids who transition early, as well as those who eventually detransition.

Jen's guest today is Ben McKenzie, author of the new book EASY MONEY: CRYPTOCURRENCY, CASINO CAPITALISM, AND THE GOLDEN AGE OF FRAUD. In this incredibly fast-paced, relatable book, Ben, joined by journalist Jacob Silverman, takes us on a journey into the dark side of crypto. You don't need any kind of expertise to follow along. Plus, even if you've been around the bitcoin block before, you will appreciate the jaw-dropping encounters with the key players including FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried (before his indictment and extradition from the Bahamas), and Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky (before his indictment) who admitted to Ben at South by Southwest in early 2022 scope of this scam. Mashinsky said that only “ten to fifteen percent” of the crypto system was real money. “Everthing else,” he said “is just bubble.” Ben has been an outspoken critic of the cryptocurrency craze. Perhaps you saw him on C-Span in December of 2022, when he testified before the Senate Banking Committee for a hearing on the topic: The Crypto Crash: Why the FTX Bubble Burst and the Harm to Consumers. During the hearing, Ben called FTX “the biggest Ponzi scheme in history” and told the senators that the 40 million Americans who have invested in crypto “have been lied to, in ways both big and small, by a once seemingly mighty crypto industry whose entire existence in fact depends on misinformation, hype and, yes, fraud.” Not a C-Span cable network fan? You may also know Ben McKenzie from network television, the big screen, or more recently in his 2020 Broadway debut. He starred as Ryan Atwood on the teen drama “The O.C.” and as James Gordon in the hit series “Gotham.” Contact Booked Up: You can email Jen & the Booked Up team at: BOOKEDUP@POLITICON.COM or by writing to: BOOKED UP P.O.

On this episode of the Unhashed Podcast, Barclays bullish on Bitcoin mining, NYDIG raises more, Argentinian state-owned energy going to crypto mining, GBTC remains stubbornly cheap, CFTC may regulate cryptocurrencies, Strike raising more money despite us still not understanding what they do, Lightning Network continues to grow, Mashinsky was apparently up to same shady shit with Celsius apparently (whodathunk?), and Korean authorities finally taking action against Luna scammer Do Kwon.
È arrivato il momento di consegnare alla storia l'annuncio più INCREDIBILE dell'anno, debunkare l'ultimo paper pseudo-scientifico pubblicato da Nature sul consumo energetico di Bitcoin, ragionare assieme al presidente di El Salvador Bukele sulle stronzate dei giornalisti che vorrebbero il Paese sull'orlo del fallimento a causa del legal tender e... molto altro ancora.
To the outside world, cryptocurrency is that part of the internet where you can lose money to scams and rugpulls. It's where some YouTuber tells you about a token called PAMP or SAFEMOON that is about to PUMP 1000x and YOU NEED TO BUY RIGHT NOW TO GET ON THE ROCKETSHIP. Isn't that what crypto is? Bankless readers are aware that this is not the case. Bankless sees cryptocurrency as a land of opportunity, a new frontier, a digital world built on free and open-source software that allows us to break free from the Wall Street and Silicon Valley institutions that have enslaved us. So, why do most people believe cryptocurrency is full of scams? And why do people keep coming to learn about it if it's full of scams? What piques their interest? Or is cryptocurrency just a big con? Today's article introduces my "Concentric Circles of the Crypto Industry" model, which explains why so many people outside of the crypto industry believe it is a scam. This mental model can help crypto-newcomers navigate the Dark Forest of crypto with a little more ease, and with a little more understanding of the types of people you find in crypto — which ones to pay attention to, and which ones to avoid. There are four concentric circles. A set of four concentric circles is my model for who makes up the crypto industry. The Core Devs are in the centre, with the rest of the world on the outside and the Crypto Believers and Grifters in the centre. * The Core Developers. * Crypto enthusiasts. * The swindlers. * The remainder of the world. Core Developers Let's begin in the middle. The Core Devs are the architects and philosophers who are constructing this industry from the ground up. They have a thorough understanding of the world's current problems, how cryptography and blockchain technology can help to solve them, and the radical implications for the future. They understand the philosophy, code, and moral good that this technology has the potential to bring to the world. This is what we mean by "crypto values." In this circle, you'll find Satoshi Nakomoto, the Bitcoin's anonymous creator, who birthed the Bitcoin blockchain before slowly disappearing into the internet because he knew Bitcoin would be better without a leader. Vitalik Buterin, the creator of Ethereum, is also present. Vitalik is a digital monk, a master of cryptography, philosophy, math, and, of course, crypto-economics. Vitalik aspires to create public goods and social systems that benefit the entire world. Even though he is extremely wealthy, he has been known to sleep in hostels and live out of a single backpack in order to avoid consuming more resources than he requires. He is a crypto-monk for the modern era. Working as a Core Dev can be a thankless task. Building open-source software is frequently under-appreciated and compensated in proportion to the value it adds to the world. Every day, Bitcoin Core developers work to improve Bitcoin. Every week, Ethereum core developers meet in public to discuss what to work on next and what society needs from the foundations they're laying. These people are here because they believe in the mission, see a brighter future ahead, and want to help build it. The Core Devs are the purists at the heart of the cryptocurrency universe, and their leadership creates the ultimate gravitational pull. These are the revolutionaries with good hearts and sound minds, and they are fighting for a cryptographic-power future... and they're all huge nerds in the best way possible. We are here to help them... and they are here to help us. Believers in cryptocurrency The Crypto Believers are the next to speak up. These are the users of crypto power. These people believe in the same future that the Core Devs do, and they live on the foundations that the Core Devs have laid. However, this circle is not limited to users! Application developers, DAO members, and businesses are all creating interwoven layers of products and services based on these new protocols. Ethereum is a protocol around which we all organise. Apps like Uniswap, Aave, and Maker are built with smart contracts on the Ethereum app layer. Ethereum is used to organise DAOs such as BanklessDAO, PleasrDAO, and even Constitution DAO. Companies such as venture funds, news agencies, and media companies, such as Bankless, also organise around Ethereum. This circle is populated by locals rather than tourists. These are crypto citizens who are constructing structures in this new frontier, testing products in their early stages, gradually becoming bankless by managing their money and property on crypto rails, and creating new digital identities for themselves. These settlers have come to live in an open and free metaverse that has been built with open-source software and the open-source ethos. These are people like Rune Christensen, who saw the need for a decentralised dollar and developed the MakerDAO vision... Before DAOs even existed! Now, billions of DAI exist to escape the mismanagement of their government's currency. Or Hayden Adams, who built Uniswap, a public and free asset exchange system, entirely on his own after learning to code and with the help of a $10,000 grant from the Ethereum Foundation. The values built into the base level protocols by the Core Devs are expressed in the applications built on top of them at this layer of cryptography. Then there are people like Cami Russo, who lived in Argentina and saw firsthand how the Argentine Peso's hyperinflation created demand for crypto-related products. DAI, the crypto-native stablecoin, has seen widespread adoption in Argentina because it is the only tool available to Argentines to avoid 50-100% inflation rates. Cami studied journalism and founded the media publication The Defiant after becoming crypto-pilled. Another of my favourite crypto believers is Anthony Sassano. He creates a video in which he informs the world about what has occurred in the Ethereum ecosystem in the last 24 hours. Every single day. This is the layer of cryptocurrency that broadcasts the industry's progress. Because they are focused on building the future, protocol core developers and application builders are not very good at marketing themselves. To accomplish this, the crypto industry relies on the surrounding community. And this surrounding community exists only because we are all here for the same reasons: the belief that cryptocurrency is here to help build a better and more free world... and that it is a necessary step for humanity's future progress. This is the world of cryptocurrency that many people do not see or understand. And one of the main reasons for this is that the Crypto Grifters keep it separate from the rest of the world. Crypto swindlers There is an obstacle course between crypto believers and the rest of the world... an asteroid belt of Crypto Grifters who make it difficult to hear the signal coming from the crypto industry's true spearhead Grifters are loud, self-aggrandizing, and arrogant. They use polarising tactics and styles that have proven to be effective in politics. Crypto swindlers aren't stupid; they know there's a lot of money to be made on the crypto frontier... and they're here to take advantage of it. To save money. To take shortcuts and the easy way out. They will sell you fool's gold while stealing your money. Crypto swindlers are the reason crypto has a bad reputation. They're louder and more bombastic than regular cryptocurrency users. They promote themselves more than they develop technology. They frequently don't care about the technology they are developing; all they care about is making money from it, regardless of how sustainable or ethical it is. Crypto Grifters purposefully create malicious products in order to catch the next inexperienced crypto noob. They set up paid Telegram channels to share "alpha," but instead just dump on you. They create complicated DeFi projects that, if you fall into their traps, merely transfer money from your pocket to theirs. Most Grifters appear in bull markets and imitate what's popular at the time. In 2017, they created fake ICOs, and in 2021, they created low-effort NFT projects with Fiver. Wherever there's a profit to be made, the Grifters smell it and rush in, ready to grift. Crypto swindlers share a few characteristics: An egotistical personality... someone who is large, bombastic, and can be a bully at times. A small, but highly engaging and manic community forms around these people, a kind of personality cult. They recite the messages, say the lines, and shill a token. They are the classic mix of humans and bots that we've come to recognise in the world of modern social media. A product or system that is fundamentally unsustainable... even if it does not appear to be so at the time. A gleaming new crypto product that simply does not make sense under the hood... and eventually has a date with fate. Mashinsky, Alex Alex Mashinsky founded and ran Celsius, a custodial borrowing and lending service. A centralised company that accepted customers' crypto-assets and paid them high interest rates for their deposits. This is a typical business, and it is known as a bank. And there are many legitimate crypto products and services that do this. Mashinsky, on the other hand, carried the DeFi banner and boasted about how DeFi will bring down the Banks. But he did build a bank! Celsius accepted customer deposits, used completely reckless and leveraged risky trading strategies, and gambled away other people's money. Sesta, Daniel The Wonderland ecosystem was built by Daniele Sesta. An army of Pepe Frog accounts trailed Sesta around the internet, swarming him wherever he went. You name it: cryptocurrency Twitter, YouTube comments, livestream chat boxes... They invaded and infested the digital spaces where crypto-people spend their time, as well as our minds, because they were so goddamn loud. This strategy has been used before, both inside and outside of crypto, but when money is at stake, these internet armies can become deafening. Anyway, Wonderland collapsed when people realised that an unbacked stablecoin is just an obfuscated ponzi scheme, and also when one of the project's anonymous co-founders was revealed to be Michael Patryn, a convicted money launderer and co-founder of the QuadringaCX exchange, the one with the mysterious death of the founder, after the exchange became insolvent. Kwon Do Then there was Do Kwon, Terra's eccentric and aggressive founder. The largest capital destruction event in crypto history, with $50 billion in capital destroyed. The Terra ecosystem abruptly lost all of its incoming money flows, revealing itself to be an unsustainable structure... ...which, in retrospect, appears to be a massive Ponzi scheme. Do Kwon, like Sesta, had a massive army of self-described "Lunatics." Ryan and I were extremely sceptical of the Terra Luna project, and when we voiced our concerns and dissatisfaction, we were harassed on Twitter by these raving lunatics. Do Kwon's actions made this possible. As Terra pumped, Do Kwon became louder and more aggressive on Twitter, rallying his followers. When Galaxy CEO Mike Novogratz got a Terra Luna tattoo on his arm, Ryan responded on Twitter, "This makes me question everything I know about crypto," to which Do Kwon snarkily replied, "Don't worry, it wasn't much." And there are a lot of other swindlers out there. Richard Heart — f#@k him. BitBoy is the Alex Jones of cryptocurrency. Under this narrative, Ripple Labs — which markets XRP currency as a "inter-bank exchange currency" — funds itself by dumping XRP on retail investors. The list of deceptions continues. Do we have to put up with the swindlers? Both yes and no. We can't directly stop the swindlers. That's the deal we make when we prioritise permission-lessness above all else. Access for all is a core value that cannot be compromised. Crypto, like the internet, does not require permission to use... It's a money and finance public utility that anyone with an internet connection can use. And as the financial world of DeFi grows and improves organically as more people use it, these public utilities become more useful over time. Unfortunately, the same property of permission lessness makes it extremely difficult to stop grifters from grifting. Permission-less financial innovation enables us — you and me — to break free from the financial prisons erected by banks and Wall Street, but it also makes it difficult to prevent others from making unethical money. We can't stop them, but we don't have to live with them. We combat them through education. As an industry, we must improve our ability to reach the masses before the swindlers do. Massive marketing campaigns that use grandiose and bombastic tactics are difficult to compete with. Understanding what makes this industry tick is more difficult than simply listening to some charismatic individual telling you to buy their token. The good news is that most people today have a basic instinct to avoid spam emails and viruses on the internet. Crypto will eventually be no different. Bankless is here to confront the swindlers and ensure that the good being built here is communicated to the rest of the world, so that the rest of the world knows that Crypto is here to set you free... and that we despise swindlers just as much as you do. We're Going West Since the dawn of cryptocurrency, the Grifters have always managed to find the crypto noobs' ears and eyes and sell them snake oil before the crypto believers could. They're difficult to fight because they're aggressive and hungry, and they have to grift better than their fellow swindlers... because only the best swindlers triumph. In crypto, we use the metaphor of 'Going West' at Bankless. Going into the unknown... into the frontier. In search of new opportunities and new horizons. There's money to be made out here, and we all want to get rich while we work together to develop this new land. And as you travel westward, you may come across bandits. Highwaymen. Traps. Thugs. They rob you and make your life difficult. However, if you know how to identify the signals, you can avoid them. The best way to conquer the crypto frontier is to work together. As a whole. That is why we created the Bankless Nation, a collective group of westward-moving individuals who have all hitched their waggons together, so that we can teach each other the tricks and tips to making big in crypto while avoiding the traps and scammers. Cryptocurrency is risky. You may lose what you have invested. We're not for everyone, but we're going west. This is the limit. It's not for everyone, but we're glad you're along for the ride.

Ever wondered why the crypto industry seems to promise much higher yield than TradFi institutions? Alex Mashinsky, CEO of the Celsius Network, gives us an inside look. Traditional yield generation methods like lending, arbitrage, and market making work in tandem with new innovations like coin staking and are further exploitable due to the immense demand and volatility of the crypto industry. Mashinsky shares his journey growing up in several different countries and his experiences that led him to found Celsius. He describes how the Celsius Network has been taking advantage of this environment and how their proprietary CEL token factors in. Mashinsky also weighs in on broader topics such as DeFi, stablecoins, and regulation, specifically addressing the controversial rumors that the SEC issued Celsius with a cease and desist letter. Interviewed by Ash Bennington on October 21, 2021.
Alex Mashinsky, the serial US entrepreneur well known for installing broadband on the US subway, once famously declared Bitcoin the slowest database on the planet. It wasn't until he understood it solved the issue of the digital double spend, that he got interested and when Mashinsky gets interested, he moves fast. The result is a Celsius Network, a crypto platform that has grown 20x in one year. Coupled with his interest in crypto was a singular dislike of how the banking system served its customers, or rather it didn't. “I'm not alone in this opinion,” he says. “There was a recent survey where people said they'd rather visit the dentist than go sit with their bankers. We all have this visceral reaction.” Right now the banking system is particularly broken. As he points out, people work hard, get paid a salary, lose half it in taxes and then people can't earn any interest on their remaining money. Indeed in this zero/negative interest climate, their money is devalued on top of which they get charged all sorts of bank and credit card fees. “The system is rigged. For most unaccredited investors you cannot participate in different investments, and you are excluded from value creation. That's what we set up to change in Celsius. We are the opposite of Wall Street – where insiders get to call retail investors the plankton because they feed on them.

With more than 100 million users worldwide and over $20 billion in assets under management, Celsius founder and CEO Alex Mashinsky is doing his part to move DeFi into the mainstream. Mashinsky emphasizes the importance of liquidity in reducing friction and lowering barriers to entry, critical objectives that will accelerate widespread adoption. He notes too that DeFi platforms like Celsius are able to offer yields around 6%, while traditional financial institutions are effectively at zero. Mashinsky's team was among the first of crypto's early adopters to pound the table for federal regulation on the theory that recognition and regulation by authorities in Washington D.C. is a necessary condition for mass adoption. Ultimately, Mashinsky's goal is growth – to see DeFi encompass global finance. He joins Santiago Velez, co-founder and division lead of R&D at Block Digital, and Real Vision's Ash Bennington to lay out the key factors in achieving this end. Filmed on January 31, 2022.

Alex Mashinsky, CEO of crypto lending platform Celsius, says he's standing by his prediction of Bitcoin ending 2021 somewhere in the $140,000-$160,000 range. The Celsius CEO says that once BTC breaks a certain range not far above its current prices, the flagship crypto won't be facing any tough resistances until new all-time highs. Mashinsky adds that he sees BTC flying up above $140,000 by the end of the year for a rally of 265% based on the current price of $38,300. “I think we are also hitting some resistance here in the $40,000 to $45,000 levels, and there is not a lot of resistance above that, so I think we're going to consolidate here and break to new highs. I still stand by my prediction that this year we'll see anywhere between $140,000 and $160,000 per Bitcoin.” For complete show notes and for the full premium experience with video, visit our YouTube channel at http://CryptoNewsAlerts.net
One of Wall Street's least risky businesses, securities lending, is now also being used by crypto lending companies to provide high yields for hodlers — or long-term crypto holders. But what are the risks to crypto holders? “If you ask any Wall Street veteran: ‘What is the safest business on Wall Street?' They're not going to tell you banking, they're not going to tell you trading, they're going to tell you sec lending,” Celsius Network CEO Alex Mashinsky told Forkast.News in a video interview. “That is also the safest business in crypto.” Securities lending is the loaning of assets such as shares to firms and institutions. Experts agree that the practice is less risky than before, but it's not entirely risk-free in the traditional finance world. For crypto finance companies like Celsius Network, a crypto lending platform, the loaned assets are cryptocurrencies. Celsius Network's securities lending strategy has allowed the platform to provide high-yielding interest rates for investors that choose to deposit their assets into Celsius. It currently offers 6.2% for Bitcoin and 8.88% for stablecoins, at press time. “When an institutional exchange borrows Bitcoin from us, instead of sec lending, they do digital asset lending and they pay us interest,” Mashinsky said. “No one on Wall Street has ever paid this money, the sec lending income, to their customers — that's the best-kept secret.” With Bitcoin's boom, more services have popped up around the globe to present investors with a variety of options for their chosen interest-bearing crypto accounts. But like many other aspects of the crypto industry, the new kinds of services have drawn the attention of regulators. Recently, crypto lending platform BlockFi which also operates trading services and interest-bearing accounts, has the New Jersey Bureau of Securities breathing down its neck, with local authorities claiming BlockFi's Interest Accounts offers unregistered securities to its users. Texas and Alabama have made similar moves against BlockFi. According to Mashinsky, the sales aspect could be a sensitive zone for regulators. Celsius users must purchase cryptocurrencies outside of the network, putting Celsius out of regulatory cross hairs — at least for now. “Even though some may look at Celsius and BlockFi as competitors, they're really not competing with us on yield,” Mashinski said. “Our job is just to earn that yield for you.” But with the growth of the company, which Mashinsky says added US$300 million net assets in the same week Bitcoin recently dipped below the key US$30,000 mark, the company has opted to move its headquarters and main operations out of the United Kingdom to the United States, citing increasing regulatory uncertainty in the U.K. and the better business environment across the Atlantic. “For some of the things we do, we may benefit from being based in the United States,” Mashinsky said. “If we choose to go public or if we choose to do some other financial activities, there's a big disconnect in valuation.” Watch Mashinksy's interview with Forkast.News Editor-in-Chief Angie Lau to find out the safety and risks of crypto securities lending, Celsius' plans for public listing, why he believes Bitcoin will reach US$160,000 this year, and more.

The highs for Bitcoin are yet to be seen this year, says Alex Mashinsky, chief executive officer and co-founder of Celsius – the centralized cryptocurrency lending platform – told Cointelegraph at Bitcoin 2021 in Miami that he sees the BTC price reaching $160,000 this year, or possibly a bit lower. Mashinsky further remarked that the crypto market was bound for a correction, following Bitcoin's recent all-time high of ~$64,800: “When you go too high, too fast, you are bound for a correction. You can see my tweets in both March and February saying ‘we're going to have a crash, we're going to have a correction.' I predicted $30,000. Bitcoin is like a spring – we stretch it too much and we put too much leverage. Too many people got greedy.” For complete show notes and for the full premium experience with video, visit our YouTube channel at http://CryptoNewsAlerts.net

In this episode, we speak with Alex Mashinsky about Celsius (CEL), a utility token that rewards its HODLers with meaningful benefits. In 2017, while Wall Street's shrinking yields continued to benefit only the 1%, Mashinsky and his team were the first in the world to create yield on the blockchain and deliver 80% of it back to its community of depositors. Celsius is the eighth business Mashinsky has started in his career of contributing to several communication/tech infrastructure breakthroughs.
Several miners released record cash hauls at year end, but investors are showing the sector scant love. On Friday Kitco Roundtable podcast featured editor Neils Christensen, correspondent Paul Harris and mining audiences manager Michael McCrae. Special guest was Sam Riggall, CEO of Clean TeQ. Riggall's company is developing a nickel-cobalt-scandium project in New South Wales. The company is positioning itself to supply materials for the electric vehicle materials market. Riggall said the project is large. "Sixty-five per cent of the current U.S. passenger fleet could be converted to fully electric vehicles using the nickel and cobalt in our Sunrise resource in Australia," said Riggall. Turning to gold Neils Christensen said precious metal miners are generating record cash flow, but investors are generally ignoring the sector. Some of the miners who released 4Q earnings this past week were Agnico Eagle and Kinross. In 2020 Kinross had operating cash flow of just under $2 billion compared to 1.2 billion in 2019. Agnico's cash for the full year was C$1.19 billion, up from $882 million the year prior. Newcrest had its half year with earnings per share up 121% compared to the prior period. Half-year free cash flow was $439 million.Despite the big numbers, investors aren't responding. Over the past month, the GDX ETF, which tracks the major gold miners, is down 6% to $34.78."I don't know what it is going to take to shake this malaise," said Christensen.Kitco Roundtable reprised anchor David Lin's interview with Alex Mashinsky, CEO of Celsius Network, which aired on Tuesday.Tesla has stated in its latest annual report that the company has updated its investment policy to now include bitcoin, gold, and “other assets” as possible investments."What they're not telling you is they don't trust the U.S. dollar. They're saying by voting for Bitcoin and putting gold as a reference. They're basically saying we do not want our treasury to be held in U.S. dollars because we expect high inflation, we expect debasement, we expect everything besides good news about the U.S. dollar,” Mashinsky said.Tesla's announcement that it invested in bitcoin sent the stock up 2%, although the stock has since settled."The gold miners should buy bitcoin," quipped McCrae.
Bitcoin may have hit new all-time highs, but not enough momentum is here to sustain this rally, and a pullback towards $15,000 to $16,000 may happen before the price climbs higher still, said Alex Mashinsky, CEO of Celsius Network. Mashinsky has correctly predicted that bitcoin would breach the 2017 highs this year, which it did earlier this week.

Celsius Network is changing the game I was thrilled to interview, not only one of the Celsius Network top brass, but two at the same time. We rarely get a duo as dynamic as CEO, Alex Mashinsky and Head of Global Partnerships, Leah Jonas. I knew this was going to be fun and informative. You don’t have to go deep into a search for the name Alex Mashinsky before you uncover a plethora of amazing feats. Not only does Alex have an eye for the future, but he understands what it takes to get there. A big part of “getting there” is surrounding yourself with amazing people and one of those people on this journey with Alex is Leah Jonas. “Are you part of the problem or part of the solution” – Alex Mashinsky With Leah’s energetic and inviting personality it’s no wonder she’s the head of partnerships. Now living in Tel Aviv, she is helping expand the reach of the Celsius Network. As a previous part of the core team in New York, she has a unique perspective on remote teams and how to keep them focused. Celsius’s most well known feature is their ability to for individuals to receive interest on the crypto they deposit. Twenty years ago it was commonplace for the average person to expect to earn interest on their money deposited at a bank. In this day and age, people never have to go into a branch, yet parts of the world are now experiencing negative interest rates. Additionally, there are still entire populations and geographies with access to banking of any kind, let along the concept of earning on your savings. Gain Interest on your Crypto Celsius Network is bringing to the masses a new way to let your money make money. You’ll hear stories from both Leah and Alex reinforcing their beliefs on how blockchain technology can be applied to the world.

Serial founder and VOIP pioneer Alex Mashinsky has founded eight companies and raised more than a billion dollars in collective funding since his entrepreneurial start in the 1990s—and he is showing no signs of slowing down. Mashinsky is the founder of Celsius, which allows users to earn interest on and borrow dollars against cryptocurrencies. While Mashinsky wants his company to succeed, he sees much more at stake here than just his entrepreneurial resume. Mashinsky is devoting his latest startup to taking on the world’s financial systems and driving the mass adoption of cryptocurrencies. Subverting the “big guys” has been a common theme throughout Mashinsky’s career, starting with helping AT&T develop some of the first international VOIP systems, and now fighting to decentralize the world’s banking systems. According to Mashinsky, “This is the biggest battle that I’ve fought in my life. I fought with the phone companies…in the 90s. This is 10 times worse.” Listen in as Mashinsky reveals the details of his entrepreneurial journey's highs and lows, his dedication to educate the world about cryptocurrencies, and entrepreneurial lessons only an eight-time founder can teach. Key Takeaways How the 2008 recession took down his ride-share company (that was more popular than Uber at the time) Why Mashinsky is so passionate about educating the world on cryptocurrencies 4 entrepreneurial lessons to guide your business journey The mindset shift that led Mashinsky to focus on mass adoption of cryptocurrencies
Alex Mashinsky is the founder and CEO of Celsius Network. He has invented and built a number of disruptive technologies over the years, including Voice Over IP. In this conversation, Mashinsky and Anthony Pompliano discuss Bitcoin, crypto lending, and building sustainable companies around disruptive tech.
In Episode 35 of Hidden Forces, host Demetri Kofinas speaks with Alex Mashinsky. Alex is the founder, and CEO of Celsius, a next generation lending wallet that aims to be the ‘Killer App’ of the bitcoin and cryptocurrency revolution. Celsius attempts to overcome the limitations of a traditional banking system by leveraging technology and rethinking lending for the 21st century. A serial entrepreneur, Mashinsky is the founder of seven New York City-based startups with over three billion dollars worth of exits to his name. He is a serial inventor with over 35 patents, relating to exchanges, VOIP protocols, messaging & communication. Alex Mashinksy is also one of the inventors of Voice Over Internet Protocol with a foundational patent dating back to 1994. In their conversation, Demetri attempts to understand the mechanics behind the Celsius Network, as well as how the company intends to manage risk, execute short sales on behalf of institutional clients, and lower borrowing costs for its users. Who are Celsius' main competitors, and how does its lending wallet differ from the competition? How are loans issued on the Celsius network? How does the CEL token work, and how does it incentivize the network to service its customers and not some financial middleman? What is the revenue model for this network? How does Celsius generate income from lending, short sales, and staking? What are some of the unintended consequences that could arise from a securitization market in cryptocurrencies? What are the risks associated with hoarding utility tokens in a proof-of-stake system? Could Celsius and other networks become central points of attack for malicious actors looking to destabilize the Ethereum once it moves from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake? Finally, what is the timeline for Celsius' new wallet and how soon will crypto holders be able to rely on it as a real source of credit and interest-bearing income?
