Congratulations to telegram for launching their own crypto wallet. It has long been on the news and limelight of telegram running their own TON network for quite some years now and at last they achieved it. With their large traffic size of over 800 million users on monthly basis I think this would give them a good edge and stand on Crypto market as they already have a good utility value coupled with the fact that they just launched their own Crypto wallet.
I will first congratulate telegram and it's users for this new offer, but yet am not going to say it's a big catch for the bitcoin network considering that we are not sure of the coins thiw wallet could support, which i believe it's obviously not going to be all cryptocurrencies, even though there's no how they will start with the enlistment of supported currencies without mentioning bitcoin on their list, however using this wallet as a bitcoiner is not encouraged enough because it's no difference from an online wallet.
Secondly if we consider the rate at which telegram itself get hacked and leak user data, having a wallet with them is neither safe because if the user's contact number is attacked, it renders the wallet on that account being compromised as well, all these are nothing different from using a centralized exchange and has same level of risk which is not good enough for security and privacy.
From the looks, I strongly believe Bitcoin would be included because of the large followership they already have. Their members are so voluminous that possibly over 80 percent of them are bitcoiners so definitely Bitcoin would be put into consideration and come to talk of it, is there any wallet that launches without including Bitcoin to their wallet address option or do they want to use the wallet themselves?.
I was wondering how safe it would be hence me bringing it here for discussion. So far the telegram platform is very porous and scammers carry out their nefarious act there which makes it not too conducive for most discussions and now Crypto wallet is about to take shape their with one storing or saving his or her assets there. What are the possibility that one can securely safe their assets there without having any issues of scam or hack through telegram hack?
