CEO of Qiwi payment system thinks cryptocurrencies may substitute cash
The director of the Russian payment system and CEO of FinTech Solonin has told about his views of the cryptocurrency and banks future. He shared information about his part in the project Telegram Open Network.
Solonin about TON
The hype around the Paul Durov project has been huge. Sergey Solonin has underlined that he has been ready to invest more in the project. In the end, the TON team has created some restrictions and he could invest only 17 millions of dollars. His intention has been to invest at least 50 million. During the ICO there has been a huge queue of investors. The team of the project has taken the applications and cut them without any exceptions. However, Russian applications have been cut more.
To remind, TON creators have received numerous applications for investments for the total sum of $3.8 billion. This led to the decision of performing a closed round of token placement. In the end, the project has raised 1.7 billion dollars.
Solonin has underlined that the perspectives of the project are good but it will all depend on regulators. He has also predicted that the project will have many problems since there is no set legislation of cryptocurrency work.
Cryptocurrencies and banks
Despite the fact that regulators think of digital assets in a negative way, they will continue to appear. In the end, there might be no need for banks. Interesting that banks are more needed by regulators than by people. Cryptocurrencies, on the contrary, have success.
Solonin thinks that regulators will oppose the appearance of digital assets to the last. They don’t know what it is, how to regulate the market and what risks there are. Digital assets, however, will compete well and may substitute fiduciary currencies.
To remind, a light version of the TON blockchain has been launched and it has been announced that there will be a final stage of system tests. The cost of a Gram coin has been revealed. Currently, it costs from $2 to $8 with an average price of $5.1/ Forbes analytics think that the coin may cost $30 in the year 2028. The capitalization can rise up to $135 billion. This means that the forecast of analytics that Gram can compete with Ethereum and Bitcoin may come true very soon.

Scammers offer to buy a Gram coin in the Telegram
The Gram coin from Telegram excites the minds of both ordinary users of the messenger and potential investors. In the network there are new, fraudulent schemes that use the brand. In particular, a new scheme used by scammers in the messenger has been revealed.
A feature of the fraudulent scheme
In Telegram appeared chat, which offer users to buy Gram. Channel administrators claim that the token will appear immediately on 4 exchanges. What is important, the announcement of the sale appeared in one day. In particular, we are talking about such trading platforms as: EXMO, Bitfinex, Binance and Kraken. Please note that the transfer of rights to the purchased tokens is possible only after the official launch of the TON project. Let me remind you that the project will be launched before October 31, 2019.
Important! In the messenger appear repeatedly illegal deals on purchase/sale of Gram tokens. In this chat there are 200 thousand users.
Advertising news analysis
The report indicates that Pavel Durov has launched an official sale of the Gram token. At the same time, the starting price is only $1.5. As the coins run out, the price will rise. The report says that in a few days the price of the coin can rise to $15.
That’s a blatant lie. Trading will be launched after the official start of the project. That is, in October. The token rate has long been above $2.1. The average price is $5.1. Forbes experts believe that the price of $15 will become a reality not earlier than 2022 – 2023.
The report indicates that the project attracted $4 billion during the ICO. It’s a lie! Pavel Durov collected only $1.7 billion. At the same time, restrictions were imposed on the amount of investment. Accordingly, such amounts are out of the question.
The message mentions the names of investors. But such companies as Apple, Google, Amazon did not act as investors of the project.
The reaction of the representatives of the exchange EXMO
The development Director of the exchange Maria Stankevich officially said that they do not know about any start of trading with Gram coin on the trading platform itself. This is a standard fraudulent scheme. Stankevich pointed out that in the messenger to find gullible victims is much easier. Since there is always unclear where you can clarify this information. But the surprise is that people continue to be led to such crazy, in essence, proposals.
At the moment, many media have already sent a request to the administration of the messenger with a request to clarify this information. All of them received the same type of answer: “this is fraud.” That is, in the Telegram indicate that this offer is fraudulent. At the moment, the advertisement has been viewed more than 8100 times. How many people have already been led to such a tempting offer, is not yet known!
Pay attention to another interesting point. In the message, the scammers indicate that there are a lot of criminal, fake sites that offer to buy a Gram coin. But they can’t be trusted. They themselves say that the official website is only the specified resource scammers.
Thus, users of the Telegram messenger should understand that there is no official launch of sales of the Gram coin. Trading is possible only after the official launch of the TON project. It will be held in October this year. Until that time, all such proposals are not true. Do not be led to the tempting conditions offered by the creators of fraudulent channels, accounts and sites. This can happen not only in the messenger itself, but also outside it. Do not believe the proposals is a Scam!

Finally – TON launch date became known
The Telegram owner Pavel Durov confirmed that blockchain platform TON (Telegram Open Network) for the payment system and cryptocurrency Gram passes the test and is focused on launching by September 1st.
On a project TON (Telegram open network) Durov’s team works since the beginning of 2018. Investors have invested $ 1.7 billion in the project and now Telegram is obliged to launch a working blockchain network by October 31, 2019, or return the money. The closed testing phase of the project has already been completed.
The creators of TON convinced investors that their network will process transactions much faster than the most common now Bitcoin and Ethereum blockchains.

Cryptocurrency wallet named Button Wallet added the testing mode of the Telegram Open Network support
Forbes mentions that multicurrency Button Wallet added the support of the Telegram Open Network in the test mode. Those who will activate the application will get 6,6 test Gram tokens for free as a bonus.
Alex Safonov, who is a co-founder of the project, thinks that it’s going to provide the opportunity to get the practical experience in making digital assets’ transactions with almost no risks. According to his words, they want to provide comfortable trading in the “no real money” situation.
Button Wallet cooperates with LTC, ETC, BTC, Waves, DCH, ETH, XLM. You won’t have to leave the app to exchange the assets.
According to Rachel Makrari, most people are just scared to begin using cryptocurrencies. This app is going to help them with this. They will probably overcome this fear and will start working with cryptocurrencies because there’s an opportunity to test digital assets with no risk of losing money.
Earlier, the Hongkong programmers blamed Telegram that it shared their phone numbers with the Chinese authorities. The matter is that in this country there is a rise of protests against the law that obliges local authorities to provide the info on the suspects to the jurisdictions (there is no adopted agreement about the extradition).
The user of Telegram can set who can see his phone number in the settings. It determines the level of privacy. If the person chooses the setting “Nobody”, the phone number won’t be seen. However, people who have your phone number as a contact will have access to it.
The protestants are against such a thing. They suspect something wrong in it. The oppositionists though don’t wish to change the messenger because the rest of them aren’t that convenient, they won’t be able to make chats with a big amount of people. Moreover, they also share their users’ numbers.
Certainly, Telegram reacted to these negative comments. They assured the users that they have specific safety measures that will prohibit the spreading of a too big number of contacts. Such measures were introduced to fight the stuff that was described above.
Earlier in August, they mentioned that some investors in ICO Telegram Open Network weren’t satisfied with the delay of the project’s launch. As a protest measure, they started to sell the Gram tokens at the secondary market.
