This video is an opinion and in no way should be construed as statements of fact. Scams, bad business opportunities, and fake gurus are subjective terms that mean different things to different people. I think someone who promises $100K/month for an upfront fee of $2K is a scam. Others would call it a Napoleon Hill pitch. - Zábava
As hard as I tried, I couldn’t even fit everything in this video, as long as it is… so here’s EVEN MORE DETAIL FOR THOSE INTERESTED!
Alex Mashinsky’s Connections to Past Rugpulls-
Alex has some strange connections to prior failed ICOs, that look like RUGPULLS. This was reported initially by Dirty Bubble Media: Basically the story goes that Alex has an NFT twitter profile that proves his ownership of this wallet: 0xc33192B79AD149b05169516A8aF2adc6e1E08EF6
This wallet is then connected to an account that dumped a bunch of ICO coins from companies he previously advised on-SIRIN LABS and MICROMONEY.
But it doesn’t stop there, some of the sketchy hires we discuss in this video, like the ones arrested for money laundering are CONNECTED to these past rugpulls, as explained by UpperEchelonGamers.(linked in description)
stETH/ETH liquidity issues:
Not to be confused with the Stakehound situation, Celsius had further issues with an ETH2.0 derivative on DEFI pools where they found themselves stuck either keeping their staked ETH2 or selling a derivative worth less. Linked:

What I can't get over is him claiming that VOIP was completely disconnected from the phone companies/infrastructure, as if the internet didn't operate over phone lines in the 90's.
I was thinking this exact thing lol I get my internet from the phone company 😂
... and given the slow adoption of voip, we had to connect voip directly to the telecoms so anyone would even be willing to use it.

This is like watching all the personalities of all the toxic people I have encountered in my personal life play out but with billions of dollars of innocent people's money.
Come on who is innocent in crypto? They're all wannabe scammers.
It pays to always be suspicious of people who constantly position themselves as standing against some easy villian like the banks, the media, big pharma, etc. It's just an emotional appeal meant to lower your suspicion.

Yes, but banks are evil
Use of Emotion always leads to poor judgment

Also Celsius : "We enable you to deposit your coins and enable you to lend them to someone else"
I don't like banks a lot and the few money I've got in my account isn't giving me 10% but at least I'm pretty sure it will still be in my account next year and the year after this and the other one after that... lol

Also I guess the stuff about Celsius was a good point to.
I think it could be quite cathartic to throw a laptop into a large body of salt water.
Not to mention…you’re at the beach and not having fun. Wtf is wrong with you?!
True story - I was a full beach bum when I was uni student. One day I was on the beach typing an essay and the most ROGUE wave came out of absolutely nowhere and straight up destroyed my laptop.
I had been there a couple of hours and the waves were crashing nowhere near me. Then that one ruined everything.

Years ago I was in a LARP game, playing as a Russian inventor/businessman (which was actually a liar and scam). I saw my character in the clips of this Mashinsky guy.
Btw. In the lunch break, another player told me that I was talking great things and everyone seemef to be on board with my plan but he won't be trusting me because my character is Russian and I laughed.
Love when someone gets out of a scam or Ambush just from hating an arbitrary part of that person. It's hilarious
This is casual misinformation and propaganda about Russians. Mashinsky was born in Ukraine not the Russian Federation. So he isn’t even a Russian businessman. Russia by the way has restricted Cryptocurrency as the Kremlin says blockchain technology is not trustworthy. So I would rather trust Russian businessmen. They know what they are talking about

Yikes! As someone who had 40% of his crypto on Celsius, this is sobering to hear. I was initially hopeful that I would recover my crypto I had with them. I really thought Celsius was a low-risk place to earn yield because so many prominent youtubers talked positively about Celsius and Alex was on their shows so often. This has been a very painful lesson to learn.
was gunna chuck money in but i cashed it or lost it already so :X
Sorry to say it mate, but "low-risk" and "crypto" just don't go together

having seen the outcome of the battle of sand vs. sd card, I can confirm, beach and computer don’t match. I dropped a zoom h1n into the sand after it fell out of a pocket, and had been recording waves and sea birds at sunrise. The machine and all the switches got asaulted with a slurry of sandy water which got driven in by waves. The record button was trashed, but the sand went into the sd slot and literally removed half of the micro sd in the machine.

I've been at companies that grew at a tenth of the speed of Celcius and fell apart from being unable to onboard new employees (especially managers) well enough to keep productivity up. Growth hacking is extremely dangerous to any company that tries to have a value beyond marketing itself to VCs.
If you want to grow a company and have to add a management layer (which is inevitable as everyone can't report to the founder) then you should look to promote within the company as it avoids onboarding issues. A company should focus on bringing in management that lack skills the current team has and become more prominent as the company grows (usually finance, law, sales and HR). But they should continue to invest in the staff that brought the initial growth. This lowers the chance that the culture that fed the success is eroded. However, a 281% organic increase in staff in a year is insane, and I agree pretty much unmanageable no matter the approach.
It's true. Most companies fail because they can't grow fast enough. Some fail because they grow too fast
@@dannys396 Baloney. A perfectly good engineer or programmer might well be dreadful manager.

5:00 VOIP is completely autonomous of the phone line infrastructure and rides on the internet.
Which used to ride on the old phone lines.
So VOIP more so just moves to protocol one abstraction layer up. Without phone company you still can‘t do shit because you don‘t have internet access.
Makes sense if you dont think about it, question it, or take two seconds to figure out the timeline.
In fairness, VOIP can run over any network that uses the Internet Protocol, be it an internal office ethernet/wifi-based intranet, or an ocean-spanning fiber connection, or a satellite constellation in low orbit. Telephone companies were big players, sure, but it wasn't long before *they* turned themselves into ISP, and switched to VOIP-derived backends themselves. It's VERY rare to see actual circuit-switched networks still in operation.
tried taking my laptop to the beach was definitely the worst experience ever you can barely see the screen. How can someone work like this?
Because they don’t
I tried it once too. It was impossible to see anything.

In talking about how much the founder made off of this debacle, you didn't even mention what he was probably playing himself in salary. The worst part of any bank collapse like this is that the executive team will have been pulling large salaries even as they lose customer money hand over fist. Unlike a regular business, where customers where usually getting a product/service in return.
I wouldn’t be quick to say banks would’ve stopped paying themselves large bonuses during a collapse, I mean look at any failing bank in 2008. Most lined their pockets and got out.

It's ASMR to me to hear you calling people out. Bravo Coffeezilla!
I'm glad you got that Peter Schiff clip in here I was thinking about that
As far as I know, in modern banking "depositing" is also loaning to the bank, and "withdrawing" is again calling your loan due. Banks no longer hold the money you give to them tucked away in a safe somewhere, they just write it in the books as their own debt to you. So in essence: even with the wordplay tricks Celsius uses, to differentiate themselves from regular banks, they still are describing a bank.
It is a bank, minus all the regulation and the insurance in case they lose your money.
So they're a bank, but worse
If by 'modern', you mean 11th century. There's examples as far back as we have written history, but it's a little shakier how they managed deposits and loans. But everyone hated owing money to them back *then,* too.
Except they're not backed by the Central Bank so when they inevitably collapsed, you're fucked.

The dude is just the finisher of the goals. Real top notch. Magisterial. Love your work Jacksontechie!. Keep doing what you're doing.
Just a bit of observation:
When CoffeeZilla switched to the interview footage, and CoffeeZilla was asking the interviewee question, sometimes my mind confused and think the interview was finished and we are now switching back to the main video.
It would be nice to have some sort of visual reference to let us know we are still in the interview footage or the main video, like color hue, or come frame around the video, something enough to let us immediately know we are not on the main video.
I like the idea of "come frame" lol
An audio cue is good too. Like a change of audio quality. That way you don't have to be watching to be able to tell.
A wet sock screen wipe would be perfect
the headset was obvious
@@inthefade change of audio quality? Did you hear the anonymous source ? Horrible audio quality.
Is it bad that I love this content? Like how many times can you say told ya so.
Lol it never gets old.

I love this chaos.
I'm so glad you bring up a short clip of Peter Schiff.
Love that guy
Great to see Upper Echelon collaborating with you on this video!
Excellent deep dive. Like the longer videos when there's this much history. This is a big story with an even bigger EGO. GO GET EM COFFEEZILLA
Now that the SH*T HIT THE FAN, all these "insiders" are coming out with their stories.
Where were they last year when the market was good in October-November?
Oh yeah, they were making sick money being the ENABLERS that they are. This keeps repeating
itself and no one goes to jail just like the 2008 Recession. 🙄😬
You're a good man coffee, converted all my crypto (including Cell) into fiat right before the mayhem started thanks to your influence.
glad u got out on time bro
You escaped with your life, good job man.
I love these longer videos man
Great video. I saw the guy give a 30-minute presentation & he spent the entire time talking about how well their token price was doing. That's it.
Celsius: "We're not a bank"
Also Celsius: *Suffers from a bank run*
Very instructive. A very good advice to people lost money from this. When you see suspiciously high returns ask yourself the question. "Where does the money come from?" If you dont have convenient answer to that question you are getting scammed.
Terra and Anchor was worse.
What really sent me was the mention of Gold having "returns." It's a *metal.* It sits in a vault and looks shiny. Having a brick of gold does not, in any way, allow you to make more gold. You might have a net gain when you finally get rid of it, you might have a net loss. That's not up to you, that's up to whoever wants to buy it off you.
Lovee seeing upper echelon gamers here, watched his video before they shutdown.
❤️❤️❤️ thanks bro
Every year companies try to recreate bitconnect in a new package! It always ends the same.
A huge success.
While others experience FOMO and rush to buy some crypto, I experience FOGB ( Fear of going broke) therefore stay away from any crypto. Those things have no market value.
I am a certified FOGBro
That’s why you never invest more than you can afford
yeah 100% and recent events have shown that apparently crypto is rife with scammers, so I just don't see any reason to go in
It has value, but the term you used is cool.
@@FreddyPhD It also helps if you invested BEFORE it got hip-- never invest on something volatile if it's mainstream, that's a peak value point and where you should pull out if you don't want to gamble on a bigger peak in the future instead.
The laptop/sand rant made me sub immediately. These ppl gotta learn.
You're doing some impressive work, keep it up.
Always ALWAYS do your research no matter how good their advertising is, or how good they are talking about it(its literally their company to generate them revenue, of course they will speak greatly about it). Be safe!
I moved from USA to Thailand to freelance online 11 years ago. Financial freedom with 1/4 cost of living baby. lol
Thailand looks like a cool place
@@suniixxsav he he boy
@@suniixxsav If you think of stereotypes sure. But there is more to the country than that.
I was thinking the same but most of my clients are in the US, isn’t the timezone kinda shitty to do business with 🇺🇸 ?
What type of freelance work do you usually do? Like website design or do you mean jobs actually in Thailand?
I love that you put that clip with Peter. He called it long before celsius imploded
Great video, thank you.
Bitcoin at 17k now!! Holy cow, I have a feeling Coffee is going to be swamped with all the content this crash is going to produce. Keep up the excellent work!
Keep stacking sats bro.

I can't wait to buy as much of it as possible, bitcoin ain't going anywhere except my digital wallet
@@enochian7133 famous last words my friend, godspeed
@@tomcads1604 bruh it was 50k like 6 months ago lol, if you can invest money you don't need long term its a great investment.
