I just read, Telegram (Pawel Durow) plans own ICO and currency.
I wonder why everyone try to cook his own soup. That's pointless - weak lone fighters (like Rambo) only win in movies.

Why they not use byteball? (fair distribution, well-established on the market, great backing in the community, first-class technical potential, proven,
flexible, scalable like hell) and telegram with tons of users (or Yandex still in the boat). This is a clear WIN - WIN situation.

Collaboration and strategic partnerships seem to be a no-go in this business - everybody trys to create his own Supercoin.
In the end, the established system wins and the youngsters will scalped by the established big players (i.a. PayPal).

Something new and powerful emerges, when many cooperate, then the whole is suddenly more than its constituent parts (like the Internet, like every living thing).
Imagine that every dotcom company had tried to develop its proprietary protocol - crazy.

Possibly everything has to be burned down first, so that the wheat is separated from the chaff ..
