You already know for sure that the Telegram team is developing the TON blockchain platform, and Pavel Durov is releasing his own cryptocurrency Gram. A logical question arises, isn't it time to buy some tokens from Durov and how to do it?
We will tell you about Gram's cryptocurrency, about who has already become its happy owner and when it will become publicly available.
What is a Gram?
Gram is a blockchain cryptocurrency of the TON platform, which is developed on the basis of the Telegram messenger and is primarily aimed at its audience. By the way, it is expected that by the time of launch of the platform in full force the audience of the messenger will exceed 400 million people.
Coin Gram will become a universal means of payment inside the messenger. With its help, it will be possible to pay for various services of the Telegram TON platform, as well as to purchase goods, order a service, or simply transfer tokens to another user. And all this within the same application, all at your fingertips.
Naturally, the Gram cryptocurrency development plans have a listing on the stock exchanges, cooperation with banks and payment systems, all this will be done for a simple exchange of virtual money of the messenger for the usual currency and vice versa.
Who has already bought Gram?
Formally, Gram coins have not yet been bought by any person in the world. Instead, Pavel Durov spent several rounds of a closed pre-sale of his tokens, in which he offered to buy a contract for the subsequent receipt of cryptocurrency.
According to the documents filed by the Telegram Group with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the United States, two rounds of Gram tokens were closed. Participation in them was taken only by large investors, ready to invest amounts on the order of 1 million dollars for individuals and 10 million for legal entities. During the first and second rounds, 850 million dollars were raised. Thus, in the ICO TON money box now is 1,7 billion dollars.
When will the open ICO?
Everything indicates that there will be no open sale of Gram tokens within the framework of ICO Telegram. And for this Pavel Durov has two good reasons.
First, Paul himself is not poor and does not pursue the goal of personal enrichment. According to available data, the collected $ 1,7 billion is enough to develop the TON platform and there is no need to carry out further sales.
Secondly, Durov did not just report back for the money collected to the US authorities. He looks to the future and understands that the success of his project largely depends on the actions of the world authorities, especially the United States. Therefore, he is doing everything possible so that in the future his project will not put sticks in the wheels, as it is now, for example, is happening in Russia with the blocking of a messenger.
So there is no need to be offended by Durov, he did not squeeze the Gram cryptocurrency, but strategically plans ahead for his actions and possible consequences, since he really wants his project to be implemented.
So where to buy Gram?
ICO TON became the number one event. Many investors and just Telegram users have been waiting and waiting to this day for the opportunity to enter the project, which is what the scammers took advantage of.
On the network, you can find sites that impersonate TON and offer to buy tokens, there are also fraudulent broadcasts and telegram channels on which Gram is offered to purchase. Even on some exchanges appeared tokens-twins with a similar name.
And there are clever people who pretend to be a large investor who allegedly managed to participate in a closed ICO TON and now he is ready to resell part of his tokens with a small markup.
Remember that all these methods are fraud, and the Gram cryptocurrency is not for sale in the public domain. If Durov changes his mind and launches a public ICO or Gram officially goes public, we will definitely let you know. Until then, everyone who offers to buy Gram is a scammer!
We are waiting for the launch of the platform and the public turnover of tokens
The TON blockchain start is scheduled for October 2019 of the year. This is the deadline for the project team, because investors have promised that they will return the money if the platform is not running by this date. From this date, it is logical to expect the beginning of the open sale of Gram for all the messenger users.
We will follow the news and inform you of all the details of the development of the TON platform. In the meantime, we suggest reading articles about the prospects for the Gram cryptocurrency, which has every chance to take the place of bitcoin.
