Celsius turning up the heat in the crypto community
The founder of a blockchain-powered borrowing and lending platform hopes to turn up the heat on both established financial institutions and some early entrants in the crypto community.
Celsius founder Alex Mashinsky describes himself as a serial entrepreneur. He has two of the top seven VC-backed exits (worth more than $2 billion) in New York since 2000 on his resume and pioneered VOIP protocols in 1994.
His involvement with cryptocurrency only began a few years ago, when he began investing in ICOs. It has been long enough, however, to see the nascent industry was suffering from a vision shortage.
