I use Telegram daily yet I don't use TON on TG anymore.

I used it to buy eSIM data and test a few apps. It means the Foundation failed.

But Telegram + TON's potential is much bigger.

Payments are obvious: when I was in Bali I paid bike rent in USDT on Tron, but TON would have been a much easier option.

Plus, integrated apps (Lighter's perp integration being one), prediction markets on phone (seriously, such low hanging fruit for Polymarket), and gambling/game apps (coz retail loves this)

All of it could pump Telegram and TON revenue.

No other app besides X has this potential for consumer adoption.

Dreaming bigger, Telegram is a freedom of speech platform with Pavel as a strong proponent of libertarianism.

But I worry about TON's centralization.

SEC blocked Telegram from running TON in 2020, forcing the community to fork the code and keep the project alive.

Turns out it was fake decentralization.

A 'community fork' isn't really one if Pavel can retake control this easily.

We've gone full circle.

But if regulators push again, he'll need to decentralize TON for real next time.
