Opinions of some experts and analysts on TON and Gram - TON Italia
Open Gram Italia
Telegram with high probability, will break the record for collecting investment. Idea, team, technology — this project has it all.
The idea is quite interesting for several reasons. The token will give the messenger an opportunity to build their own economy, independent of other economies (or rather, not tied to the national currency). Although on the basis of this can begin to operate separate gray or shadow economy, it will still make the messenger more functional and comfortable for users. Furthermore, the charging of a fee from the transaction can be a good way to monetize for the messenger, who, as far as I know, currently funded at the expense of Durov.However, this will be possible only if the currency becomes popular.
Separately, I would like to note the planned collection of ICO: it is unprecedented. Prior to this, the crypto industry had seen volumes of $ 150-240 million for the largest projects. 5 billion is a strange sum, because even hundreds of millions are already enough for a comfortable existence of a project with plans for monetization, at least to zero. Perhaps Durov's Napoleonic plans for the rapid creation and deployment of infrastructure.

The Telegram messenger is really popular, especially among those who use and invest in crypto-currencies. ICO Telegram, if held, will definitely be a success. The amount of borrowed funds in their case, most likely, will amount to billions of dollars. Previously, the Canadian-American messenger KIK has already successfully conducted ICO - in total more than $ 200 million was involved in the project. Telegram has tens of times more users. Own block for Telegram (TON) will create interfaces for decentralized applications and smart contracts, that is, Gram will be not just an internal crypto currency, but also a means for integrating new applications on the basis of the messenger.
Many believe that the use of block and internal crypto currency in Telegram will promote mass adoption of technology. This is so, and on the basis of Telegram will be able to develop other third-party services. It can be about hundreds of millions of new users of crypto currency. Prospects for a new crypto currency can be assessed extremely positively - entry into the top 10 by capitalization will be rapid.
It remains an open question: what path will the leaders of TG choose - integration with the current crypto-currency economy or the construction of some isolated blockade and, accordingly, its own crypto-economy.

It is obvious that Telegram launches its own crypto currency primarily for the implementation of the transaction system. Own crypto currency will allow developing payment services and go to monetization through commissions without cooperation with regulators of national banking systems in key markets (Iran, Asia, Russia). At the same time, an additional source of income should be the growth of the exchange value of the crypto currency. Already, the demand for relevant tokens among large investors can be estimated at $ 500 million.
After the completion of the placement process, the capitalization may amount to 5 billion dollars. Crypto currency will immediately enter the top 30 in terms of market capitalization and further growth in popularity is not ruled out. The fact is that, according to estimates, the number of active users of Telegram exceeds 100-150 million, which is an order of magnitude greater than all users of crypto currency in the world.
With a very high probability of investing in the crypto currency, it will be possible already at the stage of preliminary sales. On special ICO-channels, pools for buyers with relatively small funds are collected. Nevertheless, I will draw your attention to the fact that in the case of any ICO, the investment risk is very large and many times exceeds not only the corresponding risk in the stock market, but even Forex. I think that the risk of investing in Gram is even slightly higher than in bitcoin. First of all, because there is still no public avenue for acquaintance and many nuances are not fully understood.

On the one hand, if Pavel Durov said that Telegram will issue a crypto currency, then the issue is very likely. Moreover, through her messenger plans to raise up to $ 5 billion, that is, partially to withdraw the assets of its owner in money. In addition, if Mr. Durov is behind this currency, then we can expect that it will be the best product on the market. But the best is does not mean having the growth potential. Simply currency, it may be easier to buy, it's easier to pay, translate and so on. Because, on the other hand, the crypto currency is exactly a means of payment. The fact that this type of assets has been growing rapidly in recent years (and with the volume of trading and active discussion - the last year) is a simple consequence of the excess of demand over supply.
Now, when new capacities for mining enter the market, new types of currencies appear, we can face the reverse process when the supply exceeds demand. Therefore, expecting a crypto currency from Telegram as a convenient means of payment is reasonable. As a source of additional income - recklessly.
