Telegram’s messaging app could be HUGE for getting more people into crypto. With almost a billion users (800 million to be exact!), it is basically the perfect gateway drug… I mean, adoption tool for crypto. They’ve got their own blockchain (TON) and a built-in wallet, so sending crypto is supposed to be as easy as sending a message.
Imagine just sending your buddy some Bitcoin as easily as a meme — that’s the dream, right? This could solve those three big problems everyone talks about with crypto: confusing interfaces, no real-world use, and nobody knowing about it.
For newbies, Telegram seems to be making things super user-friendly. Plus, these “Mini Apps” they’re building sound like a sneaky way to get people using crypto without even realizing it — maybe like a fun game or something.
Us crypto veterans can geek out over the fancy trading bots Telegram has too. Apparently they make dealing with all that code stuff way easier. Although, that might make things a little more competitive for altcoin trading…
One thing’s for sure, Telegram’s not perfect. They still need to build more useful apps, and those pesky regulations are always a thorn in everyone’s side. But with their massive user base and focus on crypto, they seem to be in a prime position to get everyone on board.
What do you think? Is Telegram the key to crypto going mainstream?
