🪙 A TON early adopter bought the @crypto username on Telegram for $350,000 2,5 years ago — and recently received an offer for $25,000,000. Here’s what he said about Telegram usernames:

“If these can’t be taken away from me, I want them all.”

💫 When people have direct ownership of their digital assets, magic happens — like this tokenized Telegram handle soaring 70x in value. Telegram users are sovereign owners: no middlemen, no confiscation, all secured by TON smart contracts.

✊ Telegram is the only major social platform that treats users as free people with unalienable rights — including the unbreakable right to own their digital identities and assets.

💎 TON Coin Spikes as Demand Soars

Toncoin's price has generally trended upward this week, #rising from approximately $3.25 at the start of the week to current levels around $3.52–$3.63 as of July 31, 2025

Recent gains are likely influenced by positive sentiment following large-scale treasury and institutional adoption news, though broader crypto market factors also contribute.

#Telegram continues to heavily promote the #TON blockchain, integrating it more prominently across its platform features.

🍬  My girlfriend is turning 2️⃣5️⃣ today.
💝 She’s collecting pink/violet gifts on the cyberpunk backdrop, so I had to pay 15,000 TON (~$52,500) for a Plush Pepe 🐸

📰 If you open an NFT gift link in a browser, its model changes to ✉️

🎁 When you enter a link in a search bar, you will be taken to page you see in the photo. It displays the necessary information - the owner, attributes, signature to the gift. But at the moment, instead of gifts, you can get random emoji, specifically [✉️&🎵].

📰 If you have a negative rating number, Telegram will say that you are an "unreliable" user. ⚠️However, other users cannot see how much you have lowered this number. And to avoid it, it is enough to spend as many stars as indicated in your rating, or more.

🎁 Perhaps, if someone wants to give you a gift, they can bump into this warning to give them time to think about it.
