“What’s most exciting to me about Bitcoin is that it’s disruptive. It’s a new financial system, unlike any system we’ve seen before,” said Bakshi in a statement. “But in order for Bitcoin to succeed in the long term, it needs to be adopted on a much wider scale.”

Therefore, Bakshi explained that “our goal now at Coinmama is twofold: to continue to make crypto as easy as possible by automating as much of the process as we can and providing the best quality of crypto service available. And in tandem, to use our platform to educate new and potential users about the benefits of cryptocurrency in order to drive mass adoption.”
Prior to Bakshi’s arrival at CoinMama, Asaph Schulman (the exchange’s previous CEO), announced in February 2019 that he would be stepping down to take some time off.
Schulman was the CEO of Coinmama since 2017, originally joining the company from Checkmarx. Upon the announcement that he would be leaving, Schulman told Finance Magnates that “when you look back at what the Coinmama team was able to achieve in 2018, despite the ‘crypto winter,’ it is clear that the company has made huge progress which our team can be extremely proud of.”
