haha super cool, so we have Telegram and PayPal and therefore a huge potential number of fresh customers for the crypto market.

It’s all set for the next bull, it will explode

Adoption is always good but I haven’t heard many good things about Telegram..

Telegram had a huge user base, so this is big.

…and it’s been hacked.

tldr; Telegram, the messaging app, has announced the integration of a crypto wallet feature, allowing users to access their cryptocurrency holdings. The integration will be available to approximately 800 million Telegram users worldwide, except for those in the US, starting in November. The announcement was made at the TOKEN2049 conference, where Telegram and the TON Foundation also revealed their partnership goals. TON aims to engage with 30% of Telegram’s user base by 2028. This collaboration signifies Telegram’s increasing collaboration with the TON Foundation and their efforts to democratize crypto access for users.

This is really good for adoption. Imagine being able to send someone money in seconds through WhatsApp. That would be huge. Telegram just did it first.

As long as it’s secure, more adoption is good.

I’d have to look more into before linking my wallet, though!

That’s huge, in some countries, like Brazil for instance, everyone uses WhatsApp. That’s very good news for adoption.

TG….. Well, i would say not really a safe place to put your crypto into….

Rival? They are exactly opposite of each other. WhatsApp wants you to provide all your personal info and tracks you like it owns you. Telegram while it’s not perfect but at least better on the privacy side.

Scammers Rejoice!

Telegram is just so full of scammers

Rival?

I don’t know anyone who uses Telegram outside of crypto pump and dumps

nobelcause

I wouldn’t consider Whatsapp a competitor to Telegram or vice-versa. Telegram is much more popular in the Web3 community while Whatsapp remains the top preference for personal messaging.

Telegram and a crypto wallet, why do I have a feeling there will be a lot of hacks and scams. I get that it’s good in light of the broader adoption of crypto but I will not use it.

i remember seeing many news about telegram’s own token, now crypto wallet integration, but haven’t heard much mentions about people using them – is it really a thing?

spartikle

I’m really active in my token’s community and our Telegram is by far our most active platform. However, Discord is where we discuss more serious matters.

Don’t be an exit liquidity for early adopters of the toncoin.

Signal tried doing this too

A scammer’s wet dream cum true
