Ok so I also have doubts about it. Does this mean that apart from buying with the bank card (KYC) you can make P2P trades without KYC? It should be so, I imagine, as Telegram sells itself as being very respectful of privacy. I don't use Telegram much nor do I know how it works, but I welcome it if it is implemented that way.

I once saw a telegram no KYC bot, and it's normal to say that telegram doesn't require KYC for P2P trades, as their CEO once in his tweet stated that telegram would build and integrate more decentralized projects.

My only concern about this new update is that, telegram is the biggest messenger for crypto scammers, and this new update will only make things easier for such people to carry out their bad attitudes. The wallet bot is a no brainier, anybody can utilize it without difficulty. The UI is friendly, so victims won't hesitate to fall for scammers because no hassle in purchasing bitcoin. Hence, aside that, it's a big adoption for bitcoin, many people on telegram that saw the update or announcement can begin trading with bitcoin and businesses on the messenger will also utilize cryptocurrency as a payment method. As for hacking of wallets, telegram has a feature for users to add password to their numbers before any fresh login. And also users that have their funds stored on telegram wallet can also secure the app with passwords too, to avoid friends or spouse, who can have their phones, from accessing their wallets.
