Pavel Durov, founder of the popular messaging application Telegram, made statements about the cryptocurrency market.
In an interview with Tucker Carlson, Pavel Durov argued that increased government surveillance will force the creation of secure communication devices inspired by cryptocurrency hardware wallets.
At this point, Durov thinks governments and government agencies will push for secure communication hardware devices and innovations in the crypto space.
“The world is becoming less tolerant. Governments are becoming less tolerant about privacy.
At this point, I believe increased scrutiny from governments will push hardware devices and related innovations dedicated to secure communications, much like we have hardware wallets for storing your cryptocurrency.
“But these devices are clearly a trend because they have more technological power.”
“Telegram Will Reach One Billion Users Within a Year!”
Speaking about his departure from Russia, Durov said that he left Russia because he could not accept the orders of any government and rejected the allegations that Telegram was controlled by Russia, stating that these were false rumors spread by rivals who were concerned about Telegram's growth.
Durov said, “I would rather be free than take orders from everyone. My first priority in life is my freedom.”
The billionaire founder also added that Telegram will likely reach one billion monthly active users within a year as one of the most popular social media platforms.
“I Hold Bitcoin and Money!”
Telegram founder recently spoke about his cryptocurrency portfolio. He stated that he holds hundreds of millions of dollars in fiat currency and Bitcoin, and that he does not have any large property such as real estate, jet or yacht other than fiat money or BTC.
“I have had several hundred million dollars in fiat money and Bitcoin in my bank account since 10 years ago.”
