Eventually crypto will just be a part of everyday life

In some ways, it already is whether people realize it or not 

We’re still early but we’re also closer than ever to crypto becoming pervasive in everyday life

It's obvious, but the road ahead will be long and bumpy. Most people associate cryptocurrencies exclusively with scams.And I don't blame them at all, especially if their first contact with cryptocurrencies was Telegram.

most people’s first interaction with crypto won’t be on telegram 

especially in more developed parts of the world where telegram isn’t as popular

I hope so, because Telegram is 99% a scam. Unfortunately, there are a lot of Europeans on Telegram, especially Eastern Europeans, but also Italians and Germans. Of course, there are a lot of Russians, but also Brazilians and Turks.

Of course. There are a lot of interesting apps there. But Telegram needs to police its platform a bit more, because now everyone does whatever they want. Projects steal money from participants, like the Frogster bot recently, and there's no reaction, as if nothing happened. Especially since the channel was deleted and people have nowhere to even discuss the topic or find each other. The scammers clearly know this. There are tons of projects like this there. It's not freedom anymore, it's anarchy. As a Pole, I probably have subconscious prejudices against Russian platforms, but what I observe there only confirms my negative beliefs.

I like telegram fwiw

But there’s a learning curve to use it well and avoid the scammy stuff on the app

It makes sense that it’s very popular with Eastern Europeans and Russians since it was created in Russia to avoid censorship

Like most truly open and free apps, the good comes with the bad
