Do you know that Pavel Durov has already collected 1,7 billion dollars on his ICO TON and has become number one in the world in terms of the amount of funds raised? Does the blockchain platform TON and its cryptocurrency Gram claim to be the most sought after in the world?
Now we will tell you how Gram can do something that Bitcoin never did.
200 million potential users
Bitcoin had to go a long way from becoming electronic money for a small number of geeks to a generally recognized financial asset. But even now the number of people who do not even know about the existence of Bitcoin, is estimated at millions.
Cryptocurrency Telegrams will not have to repeat this path, because in the arsenal the messenger already has 200 millions of potential users who, after a full-scale launch of the platform, will receive ready-made cryptographs at their disposal. Not bad for a start? What do you think?
Every year Telegram's audience doubles. By the time TON is launched, more than 400 millions of users are expected. And in the 2022 year, judging by the dynamics of growth lately, there will be one billion people in the Telegram.
Simplicity and availability of use
You can not go to any store and pay Bitcoin. Because there are few places where it is accepted, it will take a long time to wait at the cashier’s office until the blockchain processes the transaction, and the commission fees may exceed the purchase amount. Yes, with the help of Bitcoin it is possible to quickly and cheaply transfer a couple of million dollars to another country, which is what major financial players use. But this will not make Bitcoin a valuable means of payment for the majority.
Telegram, on the contrary, offers to buy any goods and services here and now in one click. The messenger has already launched almost a million bots that can buy plane tickets, products from online stores and much more. With the launch of the Telegram Open Network, they will be able to develop into full-fledged trading platforms. Anything your soul desires will be sold directly in your smartphone.
Confidentiality
Durov, give me the encryption keys! They shout at the FSB and block all sites in a row, but this does not work. But this is the best proof that the Telegram team is not only capable of creating a truly confidential platform, but also can successfully defend the rights of its users.
It has long been no secret that the concept of anonymity does not exist on the Bitcoin network. But Cryptocurrency Gram has every chance to make your payments confidential. This is not a new darknet, Telegram will be legal goods and legal transactions, but without the supervision of states and banks. Because it is your money and only you have to decide how and when to dispose of it.
Presence of a leader
Whoever the creator of bitcoin Satoshi Nakamoto is, he is certainly a genius and no one disputes his right to remain anonymous. But would cryptocurrencies like Ethereum be successful today without Vitalik Buterin, Litecoin without Charlie Lee, or Bitcoin Cash without Roger Ver?
Even for a decentralized project, which any cryptocurrency should be, the fact of having a leader is important. And Telegram has such a leader - this is Pavel Durov, a person whom many people believe in and who are ready to follow.
Emerging markets
Now mobile devices in developing countries, such as Iran, India, Taiwan, are being widely popularized, users have stepped over the computers stage and immediately find themselves in the era of smartphones and mobile platforms.
In these countries, people do not have access to high-quality financial services. Also, do not forget about the high level of inflation and other negative factors, when funds in local currency can quickly depreciate.
But they have a smartphone, and that's all they need in the TON blockchain platform. After all, it is for this that Pavel Durov conceived his cryptocurrency, in order to make it accessible and understandable to everyone.
And finally, the TON blockchain and the cryptocurrency Gram be! And how it will change the digital and the real world in many ways depends on each of us. Join the cryptorevolution!
