Well telegram is already profitable with showing minimal ad, and no user data selling. You just can't make up points that going for IPO will make them less secure, why so much rush? Just wait and watch what happens.
The plus point is, telegrams client is open source, so you can always make a client which is less bloated (I am sure there are plenty already in the market).
the thing is, Ive been using its crypto features for freelancing and everything went smoothly till date (been using it for 1 year). If you term crypto in general is scam, thats different thing
Such is the situation of unemployment here, people are forced to fight for another country and get killed without earning anything????? Two fascists ruined India and Russia
There was just a fine on telegram yesterday for not "complying" with Russian authorities which is another proof they are doing great.
