Unbank Yourself with Alex Mashinsky

Alex Mashinsky is the CEO and Co-Founder of Celsius Network, a network that lets you earn interest on your crypto and instantly borrow against it. ‘Unbank yourself’ is the company's motto and for good reason. Celsius is disrupting the world of banking and financial management, which has long sought to regulate and limit the market for their own interests.
“What Celsius does, is it charges a ⅓ of what banks charge on loans and then gives 80% of what we collect back to the depositors.” They don’t charge any fees or any penalties.
Alex’s personal experiences afforded him a unique perspective and understanding of financial systems. According to his website he was, “born into communism, reared under socialism, and is currently thriving under capitalism.” He’s also a prolific inventor, holding over 50 patents as well as over a dozen awards for his work in the technology and finance field.
In this episode, Ian and Alex talk about how Alex and Celsius are working to disrupt the banking industry, what Celsius is looking to build in the long-term and lessons Alex has learned from his previous business ventures that he used while building Celsius.
