1/10 “When you see large chunks of CEL disappear off the CEL wall, you see that CEL wall on @Liquid_Global, on @UniswapProtocol, and you just see voom, giant chunks disappear, that is Celsius buying, that is not some whale buying; we are the whale. On behalf of our community, on

2/10 “behalf of 25,000 people, half of them already told us, every week, don’t ask me, I want CEL token. Why? It’s up 5,000%. I’m killing it. Just the interest that I’ve earned is enough for me to retire on. The interest I’ve earned in the last two years is more than the
