Telegram CEO is arrested, do you continue investing in tokens in Ton ecosystem?

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

But in the Case of TON, it's totally different, because the TON ecosystem isn't directly affiliated with the Telegram app, it's just one of their major market place, and if Telegram is to leave the market, TON can simply sort for alternatives, but it's users wouldn't totally lose their trust on the network, it'll only be a matter of time and they'll recover.

Ton is doing great with Telegram as its the preferred choice of applications on Telegram platform, I see a significant drop if Telegram ceases to exist, Ton becomes popular because of platform's on Telegram Although there is a huge drop of Ton based projects, the community is very hopeful that everything ends well with Pavel.

All you've said is true, There may actually be a significant drop in TON if anything is to happen to Telegram, but come to think of it, with what we're seeing right now, the TON ecosystem have been able to maneuver and pave their way into the heart of many crypto users who are not even a part of any of these Telegram based platforms as you've pointed out,  this is because they've been made to believe that TON is now alternatively a more preferable option, compared to a few other popular networks, due to its fast and cheap transactions, lots of crypto users have now diverted to the TON network and this has also attracted so many users outside the Telegram app.

Again, we need to know that the network is still relatively new, hence have the possibility for future growth and advancement s which may further attract even more and more people to choose the network, so I'm still strongly of the opinion that Telegram going down may not really have that much impact on TON like many people feel it would.

Just because the CEO was arrested, doesn't mean that Telegram is shut down, as you can see at the moment it still continues to function at a normal rate without a problem. Hell even Binance got rid of CZ and still functions properly, I am sure they still consult him but he is no longer the CEO, while he is not jailed, they had to pay insane amount as a fine, and they had to fire him as their CEO for it. So Telegram itself will be fine, who should be worried is the CEO, no idea if he can get out of this or not, but the fact that he went to a nation where he was arrested shows that he had some confidence he can beat the case.

If you are interested in making profits with this news, it's safe to say that you can buy at this low point and wait for the verdict in the CEO case. If it happens to be a positive thing like being released in custody, that would be a tremendous run-up, but if it goes down, that would be a great sale again.

In my opinion, this would depend on how you look at it.

Your perspective highlights a common approach in trading and investing, where decisions are made based on potential news outcomes. When trading around events like a CEO's legal case, it's important to weigh the potential risks and rewards. If the outcome is positive, such as the CEO being released from custody, the stock or cryptocurrency associated with the company could see a significant price increase. On the other hand, if the outcome is negative, there could be a sharp decline, offering an opportunity to sell or reassess your position.

• Are you holding any tokens in the Ton ecosystem?
• Did this news make you worry about the future of the Ton blockchain?
• What was your action upon receiving this news: sell/hold/buy tokens?

I will never declaim that I have no fear in my mind about the TON network right now but I will hold the coins because I think the founder of telegram Pavel Durov will free in the near future we have seen these kinds of arrests against the crypto connected peoples like the CEO of Binance Changpeng Zhao but the get free now. Yes there are some differ in allegation but most them are same so hopping of free.
This incident will affect the TON market but I think they will recover these in near future so I will still invest on ton.

[vegasus]

Is this another conspiracy?
Because the governments don't like Telegram? Since this news came out, TON's price has dropped immediately and this has also had an impact on the tokens on the TON network. Once again, FUD can really make the price and cryptp project go bad and drop very easily.

• Are you holding any tokens in the Ton ecosystem?

Why not?
I don't have to panic sell with this current situation, because it will be worse if I panic and quickly sell.

What was your action upon receiving this news: sell/hold/buy tokens?

I only have a little money, so I only do a little accumulation in TON coins. If I had a lot, I would definitely be more enthusiastic to buy the dip. hehe

[Jating]

1. Are you holding any tokens in the Ton ecosystem?

2. Did this news make you worry about the future of the Ton blockchain?

3. What was your action upon receiving this news: sell/hold/buy tokens?

1. Yes, I have one meme token, developed by a Russian (what a coincidence), but I was able to get it thru airdrops and so there was no effort on me. And when I got the airdrop, it's not even worth $1.00.

2. So I'm not worried at all about the future of Ton, I will just have to follow the news and perhaps they are thinking of migrating it to a new blockchain for all we know.

3. I will still hold and see how it goes, as I have said, they could be doing something in the background because I have received some message although I haven't check it out because it is written in Russian and so I will have to translate it first.

TON and BNB is a totally different case, although the both scenarios may have little similarities but it's not the same, in the case of binance,  the BNB token is directly pegged and is owned by Binance so if anything is to happen to Binance too, maybe a crash or something similar that'll completely take Binance off the market, it's going to have a direct impact on the BNB token as it'll be dragged along with it, this is because most people believe in the BNB token because of their trust in the potentials of Binance so if Binance is to leave the market, BNB holders would lose that trust on the token and start selling. But in the Case of TON, it's totally different, because the TON ecosystem isn't directly affiliated with the Telegram app, it's just one of their major market place, and if Telegram is to leave the market, TON can simply sort for alternatives, but it's users wouldn't totally lose their trust on the network, it'll only be a matter of time and they'll recover.

And you just made the case of them being the same!
In both cases they believe in the potential of the coin because they have a  huge marketplace, one being Binance the other Telegram, once those two are gone theoretically both coins can search for a new market, so what would stop BNB from finding an alternative just as TON does?
The thing is that they are heavily dependent on a centralized service for their cash flow, no other top coins like Bitcoin or Eth or even Doge rely that much on such a thing.

I think Telegram will still work even though its CEO was arrested and it is working like we can see even the CEO in jail and there is mini game launch Dogs and it is in good position. Ang you are also right Telegram is still working normally. And Binance is another example it is still working fine even after its CEO left. The CEO arrest is problem but Telegram probably has plan to keep running. CEO is one who should be worried he might get in big trouble. He went to a country where he knew he could get arrested so maybe he thought he could fix problem. We will have to wait and see what happens. For now Telegram users don't need to worry platform will probably keep working just fine.

1. No, fortunately, I was late in the hype on Ton, although I would agree that it is one of the hottest craze with all migrating to Telegram
2. No, as I have said, I don't have any crypto or token
3. I would rather wait what is the verdict though, but for sure I will look into some that I can potentially buy and hold till this bull run ends next year. Nothing wrong to make some money from this hype.

[armanda90]

Currently I am not TON holder but its not problem with Telegram CEO Pavel Durov arrested during the Telegram platform keep running well right now. I have open my buy order around $5,1 and buy more than $5k because TON community still stronger although their CEO have been arrested. I don't think problem when CEO arrested because will arrive new CEO one day later such as what happen with Binance after CZ get arrested but the replacement success bring BNB reach higher price.

Don't scare for TON holder or investor keep hold your assets and waiting after having good news will make TON return back to higher price because recently bitcoin still drop and all altcoin get lower price.

[TomPluz]

I am sad to what just happened with Pavel Durov, the young and enigmatic founder of a very popular messenger app called as TELEGRAM which is now on the forefront in the cryptocurrency movement as more and more crypto-based projects are taking a home under its wings resulting into its native coin called as TON getting more push-ups in price. There is a big, bright future for TON and Telegram and this unfortunate arrest of its founder is casting some shadow on that direction. Still, I believe that everything will be ironed out hence there can be a big comeback with TON, the Telegram app and the projects under its shadow, In fact, this can be the best time to buy more TON as there is a good dip in price...though I could not say those tokens in its ecosystem as many of them can just be categorized as joking memecoins.

[Asiska02]

• Are you holding any tokens in the Ton ecosystem?

I’m holding to few meme from the Ton ecosystem for a while now.

• Did this news make you worry about the future of the Ton blockchain?

Not really as the news was clearly about censorship and I know they’ll try to get him to reveal somethings in order to be under their control. The young man has done nothing to warrant all this, but we know them and we’re getting used to it. Since his arrest, I’ve been watching the ecosystem closely, with the dip that happened and how it was able to withstand the price at some point, shows how strong the ecosystem is.

• What was your action upon receiving this news: sell/hold/buy tokens?

Buy few more when the price dips and take profit when it pumps back.

[ZAINmalik75]

Did this news make you worry about the future of the Ton blockchain?

TON, Telegram, and NOT are interconnected in a way similar to how the entire crypto market is linked to BTC. When BTC goes up, altcoins tend to rise, and vice versa. If the founder of Telegram were arrested, it shouldn't directly affect TON's price because TON is a Web3 token that can exist independently of Telegram. Moreover, Pavel is not the founder of TON, nor is he the reason for NOT's crash.

We can understand why NOT might be impacted since it's based on Telegram, but why did TON experience such a significant drop? One possible reason is that sellers were acting on incomplete information. They might have assumed that if Telegram ceased to exist, TON would also come to an end.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

And you just made the case of them being the same!

The thing is that they are heavily dependent on a centralized service for their cash flow, no other top coins like Bitcoin or Eth or even Doge rely that much on such a thing.

The difference is quite clear, BNB is 100% dependent on Binance because they own the token, Binance is fully responsible for their token, and people see Binance as BNB, Binance isn't just BNB's Marketplace,  it's its home and owners, and is that the case with TON coin? Telegram is just a social media platform,  and there are thousands of other social media platforms out there, it'll be easy for TON Devs to move their operations to a different platform and its users would just follow because they still have that trust in TON and they still enjoy their product and services,  and also because their involvement with Telegram is just strictly based on business and they have no involvement with the devs of Telegram and so they have no say or part in the decisions made by the owners of Telegram,  the users knows this and that's why they'll still retain their trust.

But Binance is the the owner of BNB and they are not just affiliated,  they're one, so if anything happens to Binance, it'll have a direct impact on BNB and do you think moving the coin to another exchange in this case would save it? The only thing I believe can even help the project is to sell the whole BNB project to someone else, someone who's earned the trust of the crypto community,  then maybe change the name   from BNB to something else and then start building a new community,  this way you can be able to retain what's left of BNB and maybe attract new users. But it's no way the same as TON.
