Hahah no dude, I don't think this will actually happen.
There are some competitors coming. Like Telegram with its coin.
Also, Status could fall in this category, I guess. You can chat, send money and everything else with eth.

Kik has a huge head start, they've been working on this for over 6 years! You can read about the kikpoints experiment here: https://medium.com/kinfoundation/kik-points-key-learnings-from-a-centralized-economy-b99739cf5b69

Telegram integrating a crypto doesn't seem to mean anything to me. Are they creating buy/spend opportunities? Are they providing incentive for other developers to integrate TON in less than a day? Has Telegram figured out how to scale a blockchain? Does Telegram even know how its currency is going to be used? or are they just focusing on the cool new tech and hoping a use case falls into place?

Kik has been focusing on the PRODUCT, letting the technology catch up to where it needs to be. They are going to use a dual-blockchain solution because there is no one project that can both scale and be decentralized yet.

Status looks great but is a dApp browser with p2p functionality built in.

KIN will be a federated system of CENTRALIZED apps creating a DECENTRALIZED network and ecosystem. As each developer integrates kin, the value of kin will increase for everyone.

Thanks for breaking that down and sharing the link as a source!
