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

And before we forget, Macron did granted Durov a French citizenship in 2021 and that's just one part of the puzzle. And there are reports that he invited Durov in France and that's where he grab him.

So in any sense, whatever Macron spin it as this is not political, we really can't wonder that there are no political implications here, and that the case will be handled by French judiciary system, without "political interference".

Macron invited him? Is that true? Even if it is, Durov should have asked Macron to make such a request publicly so that later Macron couldn't deny it or claim he didn't say anything like that. I’m seeing news reports stating that Macron has refused to agree with these claims, asserting that he did not invite Durov and clarifying that it’s not a political move.

Where did you hear about this invitation? Even if Macron did invite him, it must have been done officially, with some proof to back it up. Now, Durov can’t do anything. He isn’t as smart as he thinks, he got caught in their trap and is being played just the way they want.

This is just probably another conspiracy that you can find in the Internet, or better yet, if he is out in jail and could be interviewed, who knows, maybe we can get a clear picture as to why he flew to France in the first place.

And because this is big news, it really capture the imagination of conspiracies I guess. And again, we will never know the real truth until one part of the picture speaks and that is Durov. But so far he is not talking.

Conspiracy or not, we actually have to find out from the news and wait for the results of the investigation. I only heard that Durov was arrested and we wait to see what will happen, even though we see the price of TON immediately plunge.

Telegram is not the only place that these games can use, they can just code it to work anywhere really, hell just make it work on the website itself, it would be fine and we can make that work. Telegram is fine though, just because CEO is in jail right now, doesn't mean he will go to prison and we are not talking about telegram being taken down just yet, we are talking about something that will be fine for telegram. The reality is that we should consider how this could be still a fine period for ton projects if you want to invest into them. I am not saying we should, I am just saying its not impossible to handle.

[macson]

if they drop all the accusations they accuse durov without thinking logically then it is the same as slander.

currently telegram has hundreds of millions of active users and almost all of them are active in following the trend of tap to earn projects.

so i don't think the projects that have emerged on telegram will stop because durov is arrested.

I don't think they will drop all the charges, even though i think they should, i feel they will try to reach some kind of agreement with the telegram boss.

so i don't think the projects that have emerged on telegram will stop because durov is arrested.

They might not stop, but their progress will be slowed down by this arrest, and if he eventually gets released, it may turn out to be a boost for those projects.

The TON blockchain has become very popular due to its high speed of 100k tps, Tap-to-Earn memecoins, and the support of Telegram - an application with nearly 1 billion users. The TON ecosystem has also exploded with a total market cap of nearly 20B USD ^[1], once considered a competitor to Solana, Avalanche, BNB chain, or even Ethereum.

Of course for now, telegram is getting more stand than every other existing platform just as the ton network is also getting its own stand amidst others, the truth to be told is that there is more to expect from the launch of some of these telegram mining by tap apps, if we go for them, then we are going to earn their reward over time, the arrest on the telegram CEO will be an instrument of increasing his famous all over the world.

I don't think that Durov's arrest is an instrument to increase his popularity in the world, I don't think so, because it seems like the CEO of Telegram is being sacrificed. and this will affect coins that use Telegram, as we see TON also experienced a price drop.

[NotATether]

I know that this is about TON (and by the way if you are only buying TON to invest in it, then why on earth are you still holding it now that the founder is arrested? ), but I absolutely hate these tap-to-earn kind of games. For a little amount of money you must tap a thousand times on the screen, wasting your energy on that. It is like faucets but with 100x worse user experience.

But the thing is that if this is conspiracy or France wanted to take him down then how will be the trial be fair? Yes we have arrested and was able to post bail but could not get out of the country.

And the slew of accusations against him, and it seems that the only way for him to get out of this messed is to cooperate with the government and unlock all conversations of suspected criminals that France is going after.

Sometimes, things are often not fair, because of the various interests of the top brass. And the rules of each country should be different. It is indeed not new, rumors say that Durov has indeed been a long-term target of France, and there was a negotiation in the past. However, Durov did not agree to it. However, why should he leave France if he might be aware that the French government is targeting him?

This may be an unfair arrest for Durov, under the pretext of protecting children, and various other things that are accused of Telegram, especially when TON is really starting to rise. Hmm, but it seems that the projects in TON are still running smoothly, it's just that yesterday it coincided with the listing of several hype coins and it was not successful enough because of the news.

He stays in France for half a year minimum as I remember, so
And he wrote a new post about the situation in his channel.
I hope it will end well. TON's price and opinion around is at stake.

[Faisal2202]

I want to know your opinion on this issue:

• 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?

The arrest news really dumped the price of TON but that was before now I am not seeing the news making any impact as TON recovered and teaching their users that TON is independent of Telegram. The news about Durov keeps coming like he has been detained for a lot of time in France, and there are many rumors about France's president about inviting him the girl he was with, which is also a question.

I am holding TON, DOGS, NOT, and that's it I bought TON for airdrop claims, so I don't have a big amount, but I am planning to buy more TONs when I will have some funds, but till then I will hold on to my TON ecosystem based tokens, which are worth around $120 only not that much, I know. The news of Durov's arrest did not worry me because I did not know much about him before but after the dump and its relevance with the news I came to know of how much importance Durove to us.

We really don’t know why he flew to France in the first place, but according to the latest news, he’s not leaving France for the next six months. During that time, he’ll be worn down by the government’s procedures not exactly torture, but still mentally taxing if you get what I mean.

Durov also shared some thoughts on his past investigations, where the police questioned him multiple times about Telegram. He must have seen this coming, but it still leaves the question: why did he fly to France, and where’s the girl he flew with? On a positive note, the Ton ecosystem hasn’t been impacted by any of this news about Durov, which is exactly what investors want to hear.

TON ecosystem is not the target of the government but its the chat groups and the identity of the users who are involve in some sort of group chats that are into politics. there have been rumors about Ukrainian military uses telegram and so are the Russians using it.

it could be a tin oil hatter saying all these but its sort of a surveillance when governments are watching social media and peeking into the private messages of immigrants going France. Telegram is just a tool for people to communicate.

prices off the tokens are dropping though. this is something we may consider as the effect of what France did.

A fair trial isn't a big deal for the French government because not all officials are going to be against Durov. There will be some honest ones, especially within law and regulations, who will genuinely help him. Plus, let’s not forget, he has money.

I agree with your point that he has to cooperate with the government now and provide the details and access to Telegram that they’re asking for. My concern is that they might ban or permanently restrict Telegram, which would be a huge loss for the Ton ecosystem, since a lot of the money flows into it through Telegram bots.
