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

[Stompix]

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 telegram is just about tapping to earn, funny how fast all that thing about freedom and privacy has stopped.
And the final nail in the coffin for the conspiracy theorist comes from Telegram itself:

Telegram told the BBC it does proactively search for illegal activity, including child sexual abuse, on its site. It said undisclosed action was taken against 45,000 groups in August alone.

They dismatenteld 45 000! groups of CP in August alone after the arrest!
This is what Telegram said themselves!
45 000 groups, can you even wap your head around that number, and this is what they've closed down in just a month!
But no, it's about freedom of speech, there is no such abuse happening there, it's all fairy dust and unicorns. /s

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.

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.

If the government restricts telegram it will likely affect TON coins, and durov should also help the government in conducting investigations because this will lighten durov's sentence. Durov's problem also makes TON owners panic because the price of TON coins decreases before bitcoin has a deeper correction.

If chain sees an outage, it instantly loses my trust, and TON chain saw outage recently with the dogs airdrop. So, I suppose 100k TPS as mentioned in op is namesake?

Do you think the same thing will happen when Hamster Kombat is out?

I don't think Hamster has as much as hype as $DOGS, plus I like to think TON team rectified their errors and made sure that those errors won't repeat, so hope not.

It's not the end of the case, yep We shall see how things will go in the near future with TON from such events.

Yep. The charges against Pavel Durov are serious, and the potential sentence of up to 10 years in prison is alarming.
Durov’s refusal to provide data to authorities has always been about protecting user privacy, these accusations take the situation to a whole new level.
And this is so stupid. What happened to freedom of speech? This is a blatant and deeply troubling overreach of power.

The charges that will be brought against PD are very serious and, of course, the punishment that will be imposed on him is also extraordinary if it can be proven in court and this is certainly not easy to resolve.
It should be all wrong for privacy matters but if this involves a very serious violation, of course you have to cooperate to provide the desired data, so that there is no impression of obstruction under the pretext of freedom.
But this will not affect Telegram because there are many experts who can replace it, just like the Binance case.

The case is now in the waiting room of sorts - but what is warning is that the cases in the same manner as it was recently started to pop up somewhere around the globe: in South Korea, for example (with the same causes - non-cooperation with the cops/government;D).

Certainly, it is very good that eventually arise emerge over the same problem if it occurs and emerges in almost many countries, so that it can be resolved better, so that there can be no repetition, because the case may be sensitive enough and needs better handling. Let this problem be resolved because many hope in the telegram with its TON, who also really hope not to be disturbed and can continue to run well.

Durov's problem also makes TON owners panic because the price of TON coins decreases before bitcoin has a deeper correction.

But didn’t you notice that there wasn’t a pump in Ton’s price even when BTC was dumping back to $55k last month? Ton-based projects are now making sure their users understand that Ton is not dependent on Telegram—it's an independent project. I’ve seen some Telegram-based bots, like Memefi, where they started campaigns, and users had to answer questions. One of the questions asked about Ton’s dependency on Telegram, and the answer was no.

Once people and investors realize Ton isn’t tied to Telegram, they won’t care about Durov. The negative news about Durov is causing some defamation,, but that might also be part of an agenda from certain agencies to make him look bad. In reality, he’s not a criminal and hasn’t done anything wrong. He was just a developer who wanted to give freedom of speech to the world and got punished for it.

I think it will have implications for the CEO case but you can be sure that being released from custody is a positive thing. Initially toncoin is down over 14.5% after french media reported that pavel durov, the CEO of telegram was arrested at Le bourget Airport. Time was the best buying strategy for you to buy cheap toncoin. Moreover the time of writing toncoin is currently trading above $5.32 down 16.5%. On the other hand, with the bitcoin dumping so the price of toncoin is low now. So if you want to make the best of your investment, then you should buy toncoin now and fill your bag.

We don't know what will happen to Durov whether he will be released because I haven't read about this news. What I know is that when Durov was arrested, TON coin experienced a price drop and I have bought it because I think it's the best time to buy TON. because we also observe TON showing good movement this year and is quite popular as a network.

I think that he'll be released or he has been released already. I am not updated and only reading news on the telegram channels where he's always been the part of like the ones that have airdrops that have tasked of following his main channel. He has released a statement there but it's too long to read so that's the update that everyone is waiting for.

....

• 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 don't have any tokens from the TON ecosystem yet.
-I don't need to respond because I also don't need to worry about the TON blockchain (I don't have TON coins).
-If I have TON coins or TON tokens, I should probably sell them because this is FUD for Telegram CEO Pavel Durov.

More, maybe I don't care about this TON coin because I don't have it yet, even if I do have it, I will probably leave at least 6% of TON assets and 94% of it I will immediately sell because this news is clearly FUD.

[libert19]

I previously mentioned about chain outrage, but if one sees TON ecosystem, there isn't any worthy things really, all there is this clicking games which serve no good purpose, people do this monotonous games in hopes of an airdrop, and once airdrop is done, there are no users left .

I do believe that eventually will see TON climbing up and to the heights that could potentially be profitable. It's a matter of time, really.

Right now the Telegram tap to earn are the biggest trending this year; millions are going crazy because its free money and the tasks are all easy if these trending platform in the Telegram backed by the Ton blockchain hold up then the price will slowly move up.

And this is the best time to buy, especially now that Durov is going to be released, Ton is on headlines now positively and negatively, and its on investors how they see the scenario.

Are you suggesting that the current system is unprofitable then? If that is true, how much loss do validators or node contributors need to sustain to run the network? I thought the network could run properly, just like other PoS networks. I'd be surprised if those validators participate in the chain because they don't get any profit at all. I believe the network is going to be quite okay for an ETH alternative, especially if the ecosystem grow quickly so running an airdrop bot is not the only use case for it.
