The founder of TG, Pavel Durov, announced some days ago that Telegram will replace the role of TON Foundation to become the largest validator on TON. What's happening when TG becomes the main driver of @ton_blockchain? ICYMI, this is a step in a bigger roadmap introduced by Pavel Durov in April called MTONGA (Make TON Great Again). The outcome includes: + faster network (6 times faster block speed) + <$0.0005 transaction fee + 10x for sub-second confirmations via Catchain 2.0 $TON price surged nearly 90% in only 9 days, reaching over $2.3. imo, this is only the short hype driven by the announcement and also by the 20% APR promised by Pavel Durov. Some may be concerned that when TG becomes the largest validator, this may reduce the 'decentralization' of the whole network.

Volume on TON is still really terrible. Mr. Durov truly knows how to test us. The trench warriors on TON are grinding every single day, working hard nonstop, but it still feels like nothing is paying off. Honestly, my team and I are getting exhausted with the TON ecosystem too. But it’s okay. Even on top ecosystems like #SOL#, it’s not much different. Their daily volume may be around $2B, but in reality only the biggest KOLs consistently make money while most people keep losing over and over again. The OG $WOJAK logo on Solana reached nearly 70M ATH because it represented the helplessness and emotions of the community. Right now on TON, it feels exactly the same. Maybe this pain will pass soon, but the idea behind $TONJAX is genuinely good and it’s still sitting at only 2k market cap. So honestly, to all the degens on TON… are you tired yet? Haizzzz… we just keep pushing forward. Big news is coming soon. $TONJAX $MTONGA $REDO $UTYA $CHERRY #道德經#

The easiest way to miss life changing gains is having “battered bull” syndrome where you either don’t buy obvious coins (ton after durov backed it) or sell too soon (zec, hype) You can’t “get lucky” and make it on a home run play without max conviction

The apartment in Russia where I lived 20 years ago received a summons for “Suspect P. V. Durov”. They must suspect me of defending Articles 29 and 23 of the Russian Constitution — guaranteeing freedom of speech and the right to private correspondence. Proud to be guilty! 😏

Daily trading volume on Solana is over 23B, while TON is around 13M. Even though that’s roughly a 1700x difference, you can still see how active our community is. The TON ecosystem has only just started to make a comeback, and we are currently at step 3 of a 7-step journey to make TON great again under Mr. Durov’s vision. We are among the earliest builders here. Let’s all put in our best effort and build everything together. MAKE TON GREAT AGAIN! $MTONGA $KITTY
