FORBES: Blockchain Companies To Watch For In 2018

Quote
"Almost every list I've read that aims to share information about the top crypto and/or blockchain
companies to keep an eye out for, almost always includes Bitcoin and Ether. There's only one problem
with this--these aren't new and most people know or should know about these. Therefore, these lists aren't
providing really anything new. There are so many ventures out there that are worth exploring beyond Bitcoin
and Ether. So, I wanted to dive in and come up with a new, refreshing list.

The global blockchain market is anticipated to grow to over $60 billion by 2024 as more companies adopt
distributed ledger technology and mass-use cases appear. Very much still in the infancy stage, blockchain
technology is currently being explored and adopted by global industry titans such as IBM and Softbank.

Additionally, thousands of innovative companies around the world are trying to solve market inefficiencies
by leveraging the benefits that blockchain technology provides. These companies can be found in every
industry, from content creation and transportation to financial services.


The blockchain ecosystem flourishes due to tokenized economies, developers, service providers and
entrepreneurs who are breaking the mold. Here are 10 companies on my radar using blockchain
technology as a core piece of their business to make a difference."

Bitcoin & Beyond: Can Blockchain Bring In 'The Masses' ?

Reaching Full Potential

"...However, for blockchain technology to reach its full potential and disrupt the current retail financial services sector,
mass adoption will be one of the cornerstones to achieve this according to Alex Mashinsky, CEO of Celsius Network,
a blockchain-based borrowing and lending platform, founded in the U.K., whose bold goal is to bring the next 100 million people into cryptocurrency.

The company he founded aims to disrupt the mainstream financial services sector by enabling people to deposit
their digital currencies and earn up to 5% interest on their cryptocurrency, like bitcoin and ethereum.

Mashinsky’s conviction is based on his previous experience disrupting a different kind of industry, namely the telecoms
industry back in the mid 1990’s. As one of the inventors of the Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP), he sees many parallels
 between the complacency of mainstream telecom companies back then with new technology and banks today.

“I’ve seen this movie before during the early Noughties (2000’s). Companies that never thought technology could touch
them suddenly saw themselves out of business,” said Mashinsky. “And, while many industries have been completely
disrupted by the Internet, the banks have only grown stronger...”

Warren Buffet Calls Bitcoin “Rat Poison Squared” — Don’t Believe Him

Quote
Whenever Warren Buffett or other “old school” financial players, like him, make statements against cryptocurrency, their statements are often quickly rebuked by the crypto community. Although guys like Warren may come from a time when the world of finance was more “tangible” than “digital,” the fact remains that the fundamentals of investments are still the same. Therefore, it’s important to listen to the advice of experienced individuals, like Buffett, but it is also important to take their opinions and viewpoints with a grain of salt.

Alex Mashinsky, the CEO of Celsius Network, Says the Biggest Crypto Companies Will Be Worth More Than Google and Apple

Quote
The biggest companies in crypto will be worth more than tech giants Google and Amazon in five to 10 years, according to Alex Mashinsky, the CEO of Celsius Network, an Ethereum-based lending platform for the cryptocurrency community.

Mashinsky made the bold declaration at the 2018 Benzinga Global Fintech Awards.

“There are millions of people who think this is a scam and they can’t understand why people will spend any time in this category,” said Mashinksy, Yahoo! reports.

“You’re definitely going to have consolidation, but I’m betting 5-10 years from now, the largest players in the crypto world are going to be bigger than Google or Apple. Because the market is much bigger. Money is bigger than anything else.”

I saw your advertisement somewhere online and that is why I searched for the ANN here in the forum. You've got a nice website actually very appealing especially to the Millennial generation (I don't belong there lol) but I find your ANN here unappealing and it lacks the necessary information before anyone can be interested to jump to the sites provided by the project. Please improve this one (just a request and not a command though). I love the name, really!

Celsius - Just a bit more about us
by
celsius.network
on 08/03/2018, 12:35:56 UTC
Join us on Telegram: https://t.me/CelsiusNetwork , for information check our website and whitepaper: https://celsius.network

What is Celsius, and Where is Celsius Located or Based?
Celsius comprises a phenomenal team of crypto collaborators based in three unique
headquarter offices: Tel Aviv, Israel; Belgrade, Serbia; and Berlin, Germany. The mastermind
team plans to host a massive crowdsale and pre-sale, with hopes of attracting new participants
to its digital advancement endeavors, not to mention further expanding within the crypto sphere
altogether. Celsius has been featured in countless modern news and press releases, even
including Forbes.

Crowdsale Participation and Further Currency Details
Anyone may proudly participate in the current Celsius Crowdsale with one of three currencies:
USD, BTC, or ETH. At the same time, and on a similar note, it bears record that these three
currently stand as the most popular and valuable currency forms in the world today. Celsius
holds a unique Chase account for USD wiring transactions.
The business is one of the few in its class to allow for crypto payment transactions in U.S.
dollars, a spectacle to behold. This team has got several surprises of its own. It’s not like any
other out there, especially in its approach.

The Moment You’ve Been Waiting for - The Celsius Token!
The Celsius token, or CEL, is currently evaluated at $0.20 USD for a sole unit. This one, in
particular, holds no direct ties to BTC or ETH. Upon receipt of each contribution, Gemini will
provide the conversion price most relevant, based in USD. We, at Celsius, may then offer you
details on Gemini’s email confirmation, as needed.
You’ll also wish to note: This pre-sale’s current bonus stands at a solid 20%, and each CEL
token will lock for six months from the date of the crowdsale’s commencement. Those who
contribute $10,000 USD, for instance, receiving 50,000 CEL tokens in return --- along with the
unforgettable 20% bonus of 10,000 CEL tokens --- will have these 10,000 CEL tokens locked up
for half a year. Please observe the pre-sale’s bonus tiers below, as well as their current status:

0-$5M 40% Bonus Closed
$5-10M 35% Bonus Closed
$10-15M 30% Bonus Closed
$15-35M 20% Bonus Open
$35-50M Crowdsale Open

Please keep in mind that the current pre-sale is set to end on March 15th --- when the
crowdsale commences --- or upon hard capping at $50m, whichever comes first. The crowdsale
is set to last for about one full week. 500,000,000 tokens are expected to be burnt. This includes
the units not sold from both the pre-sale and the crowdfund, respectively.
Furthermore, the CEL tokens will become exchangeable across multiple large-scale suppliers.
After the close of public sale, users will be allowed to buy or sell their CEL; the tokens are to be
officially issued out approximately a few short weeks after the full closure of the crowdsale, and
many potential users already stand in great anticipation as does the Celsius team. Moreover,
remember: Though the bonus tokens are to be locked away for six months, all participants will
still receive their distributed tokens within a 12-hour time frame.

The Wallet - Where the Magic Happens!

The official Celsius Wallet is a truly stellar innovation in many ways, a rising testimony to what
can be done in the world of “tech & finance merging at their best”. This wallet, friends, will
become perhaps the only crypto wallet made with the sole purpose of letting participants use
their coins as collateral, for instance, to take out a loan as one would from the bank. This will
occur by means of USD, of course, and Celsius even aspires to later permit these same users
to also lend their cryptocurrency, while earning interest on any deposited coins, after they have
been lended out.

Let’s further digress how this plays out: First, members will permissibly borrow currency in the
form of USD, even against the current crypto holdings within their Celsius wallets, and those
funds are then used as collateral. This can enhance and even simplify the loan process for all in
need of some cold, hard cash to get them out of any emergency. Forget about getting a loan
from the usual, centralized bank with its many rigorous procedures and required milestones for
approval. Get the funds you need more smoothly, quickly, and easily ---- beat the regular odds,
while you’re at it, through this new method.
Isn’t it nice to have a means for borrowing more funding without burning through your crypto
holdings? Just take funds from the Celsius platform, and you’ll be on your way. Remember that
you’ll be able to take out cash loans against your cryptocurrency immediately after the official
issuance of the CEL tokens
.​ How excellent is that? You can have it all, and soon!

The Interest - That “I-Word” You’ve Been Dying to Hear About!
Members who deposit crypto into their Celsius wallet may soon find another pleasant surprise:
The Celsius Network hopes to make those funds available for instant borrowing or shorting, all
from within the platform. And coins you lend out from your wallet will also start to accrue interest
as CEL tokens. Moreover, for each transaction, you may earn up to 9% in annual interest.
The Competitive Market - Why We Matter and Stand a “Shade
Above the Rest”
It’s no secret that a plethora of similar agencies and suppliers currently exist on the market,
many offering services and tokens quite like ours. These are known to include the likes of SALT,
ETH Lend and NEXO, for instance. Why, then, with so many competing agencies providing so
many wonderful options, should you stick with us?
Well, out of these four competing suppliers, we are the only one that’ll offer interest which users
can earn. We’re also the only one of this group that will include cross-platform functionality
across both iPhone and Android. Thus, we reach a greater market because we are the greater
marketers.
Not only that, but ours will be the only one of these four that will incorporate the concept of
crypto wallet storing not just for collateral! Our experts have certainly tested the horizons of
diversifying and found the opportunity to be ideal. Also --- and don’t miss this next fact --- the
overall scale of our project, thanks to our top-grade serial entreprenuer and founder, stands as
“large” whereas the others are merely regarded as small-scale to medium-scale, at best.

The Platform’s Outrageous Team - The Brilliant Minds Behind the MAGIC!
And speaking of team, allow me to introduce some of the best you will ever find. They are
diligent, inspiring and overall fun-loving. They’re some of the most dedicated, lifelong-study
currency experts in the world, including Alex Mashinsky as CEO, S. Daniel Leon as COO, and
Nuke Goldstein as CTO.
“Our platform will be a unique combination of multi-blockchain nodes, auto trading on multiple
exchanges and a high-end user experience. All this is orchestrated by smart predictive
algorithms designed to reduce rates, maximize profits to our members, mitigate risks, and
maintain the safety and growth of the ecosystem.”
- Nuke Goldstein — Celsius Co-Founder and CTO

~snip~

I would like to be in touch on telegram for discussion, however for this kind of question, I think it is better be held here, so investors and information seekers fan find these kind of info easily, because an info and discussion on telegram can be easily drowned.

So, as this project paid their members from the interest generated through a loan funding, and as we all know that lending is a high-risk-high-return project, I would like to know if you have a prevention method for a case of default?

I couldnt agree more with you regarding the information being placed here, great for awareness.

Going back to your questions, I would really like to refer you to the page 8 of our whitepaper.

"Security and Risk
Celsius is building the platform with security at its core. We will use bankgrade
security to keep our members’ assets and data safe. From multi-factor
authentication, to encryption, to private-key double vaults, and more. Our
software is designed with security in mind.
Crypto assets will be distributed among several wallets and top exchanges. In
addition, we will store a cold wallet treasury to provide last-resort insurance in
case of a catastrophic event. We will also employ white-hat hackers and third
party cyber security solutions to provide a continuous cover layer of audit and
protection"

for more information please refer to the whitepaper ;https://celsius.network/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/celsius_whitepaper-march21.pdf


Sorry for being not clear, I see that your explanation is about security of your system being hacked or other related event of cyber crime, however, whar I want to know is a case of default, like when the borrower failed to pay back what he borrowed. The fund that your company use to lend the borrower are coming from your wallet user, which if I may be blunt, is not entirely your money. Thus, if someone, let's say, borrowed something worth billions of dollars and run, what is lost is your customers' money. How do you plam to prevent this?

Hey Holydarkness, first of all there is nothing to be sorry about, the reason why we are here is to answer the doubts and questions of all users, your worry is, what would happen if a celsius user borrowed a massive amount of USD dollars against his currency and then he doesnt pay back, well first of all the money that will be borrowed to users is part of the "Celsius Loans Reserve" and "Lender's Insurance Pool" (this two are part of the investment made on pre-sale and crowd-sale, investors and private investors). Then users will not be able to borrow more money than what they already have on crypto-currencies or "Celsius tokens", If borrowers fail to pay back, they wont be able to retrieve their crypto-currencies as a matter of fact their crypto-currency will become part of "Celsius Loans Reserve" till the amount borrowed gets paid back.

If you have any more doubts please feel free to get back to me.

celsius project has great concept but why there is no bounty program?
bounty program will increased advertising and a lot investors will buy.

Hey Nazareth Flith,

Thanks for your question, bounty schemes are a bit shady when marketing a TGE. We prefer that the people you see online talking about Celsius actually believe in our product and what we're trying to do. We don't want people polluting message boards with spammy comments in the hopes of getting some tokens when they really could care less about what we're trying to build. It's important for us that we build a real community of evangelists and users.
