In a couple of years, we'll talk about this and much more in this video. Sit back, we're months ago, or more precisely, until the beginning of 2024, no one was interested in this coin and it was just an ordinary gray coin that some people had heard of and some hadn't, but recently everything changed thanks to the well-known game in the Telegram app where you could farm Note Coin by clicking on the screen. Then people started to be interested in all this and learned about the Tone coin. The fact is that the Tone coin is a project developed by the Telegram team, hence the paper airplane symbol, and Tone stands for The Open Network, which completely symbolizes the idea of ​​​​Telegram itself to be completely open to everyone. This whole story began in 2018 technical document for the first-level blockchain of the Telegram Open Network. The idea of ​​​​the project was to transfer the popular Messenger Telegram to Tone in order to subsequently make it as accessible as possible. An anonymous and secure application protected by its own proxy, ton was described as a platform for decentralized applications and services that could be used as an alternative to visa and marcar payment processing services due to its scalability and ability to support millions of transactions per second. to support millions of transactions per second. If you didn't know, on December 31, 2023, ton set a world record for the number of transactions. The developers reported that about 42 million transactions were carried out in 12 minutes of the experiment. And the maximum speed was 104.7 transactions per second, thereby overtaking the well- known Salana coin. But let's not get too ahead of ourselves for now and return to 2018. In general, the main cryptocurrency of the project was supposed to be the GM coin, which would operate on the basis of the ton platform blockchain, which would be used to pay for applications and support services for subscription authors, etc. The project attracted a lot of public attention. The first IC was successfully held and, as a result, preparations for the main launch were actively underway, but in 2019, the US Securities and Exchange Commission recognized GM coins. Securities, that is, their issue had to be registered according to the rules of securities. For everything to be legal, but Durov refused to recognize his cryptocurrency as securities, and after 6 months of proceedings, Sec still won the court. The listing was canceled. In May 2020, Durov announced the closure of the project. Soon, Telegram entered into the project. Soon, Telegram entered into an agreement with and agreed to return 1 RD 220 million as the amount of termination of the agreement to purchase GM. The company also paid the regulator TRA in the amount of $ 18.5 million. After losing in court, Telegram announced the termination of its work on the Ton network and posted the source code of the project in the public domain on GitHub, calling on the community to take control. After the announcement of the closure of the project, various Telegram team projects were created. Various application projects were created. On December 23, 2021, Telegram creator Pavel Durov published a post about the Ton Project on his Telegram page and supported the team of Chiks in his message. Pavel Durov wished success to the development team. But he emphasized that he has nothing to do with the project. Well, this he emphasized that he has nothing to do with the project. Well, this was a compressed brief retelling of the history of the creation of the project to this day. Well, as you know We are only concerned with one question. How much will fluctuated around $2, with the exception of 2021, when the price reached $6 at one point. Well, you know what time it was then. Everything was growing, so the price of ton remained stagnant. Until February 2024, a method for mining the much- talked-about not coin associated with the ton project appeared on Telegram. This sparked interest among people, plus a bullish period began in the crypto market. But most importantly, a crypto consultant was announced, began to fall rapidly because investors did not hear any important news about the project. As they say, buy on hearsay, sell on the news. The main points that can be highlighted from this conference are that it will be possible to leave tips in cryptocurrency based on ton. Content authors receive up to 70% of their income. It will be possible to buy digital goods for cryptocurrency. Sellers will receive 70% of their income. They will earn 95% of royalties on usernames and anonymous NFTs on the ton blockchain. Emojis and stickers can also be used as the latter. It also became known that Tezer CEO Paolo Arno stated that OSD will now be able to work on the TON blockchain, and TON CEO Andrey Rogozov stated that the Telegram wallet integrated into Messenger has already launched transactions with USDT based on The Open Network. The price has been reduced by TON, and that's it. After the fall, the price has still risen slightly, and at the time of this video, it is of this video, it is $7.30. But the question is whether it will continue to grow, and the answer is yes, because, as Pavel Durov himself stated, we already know that he is closely connected with the Coin project. So, now the number of users in Telegram is increasing to 80 million every month, and over the year, the number of users is increasing by 40%, and, as Durov stated, by 2028 they plan to attract as many as a billion users. The most interesting thing is that of these half a billion, 30% are planned to be attracted to the TON cryptocurrency. This is a colossal number of people who will become familiar with this coin, as a result of which TON will only grow in the coming years, having a good foundation for promotion in the form of Telegram. But this is obviously true. If we take any other coin, say, Salana, then Only those interested in cryptocurrency know about it. say, Salana, then Only those interested in cryptocurrency know about it. real value and usefulness. This means growth to $15-20 per coin is quite realistic. As for Token Nom, we only have 5 billion 100 million coins in we only have 5 billion 100 million coins in circulation, we have almost 3.5 billion. The market circulation, we have almost 3.5 billion. The market capitalization is 22.5 billion, putting it in ninth place in the cryptocurrency rankings with a small gap in eighth place is the well-known Dog Coin with a capitalization of 23 billion, and below in tenth place is the Kardan coin with a capitalization of 16 billion. The trading volume on this coin is often very small now. This is about 260 million. This is small now. This is about 260 million. This is as much as thirtieth place in the ranking. But don't worry, liquidity is 100% will come, you just have to wait a little. One of the frequently asked questions is why it will grow to exactly $20. Why not 100, not 200, not 300? It's all about capitalization if you compare Token Nom with the capitalization of, say, Solana. Around 75 billion, then ton will cost about $20 per coin. And for ton to cost about the same as Salana, its capitalization will probably be like Ethereum's 500 billion. Which is honestly almost impossible. It turns out that a price of $15-20 per coin is quite realistic in the coming years. We can say that this is an ideally reliable coin for the long term. It works on the basis of the proof of stake network with inflation of about 0.6 percent per annum. This 0.6 percent is exactly what staking on the staking itself is. You staking on the staking itself is. You can earn now this is almost 2.5% per annum interest. These floating recently, very recently, it was 35%. You can stake coins directly in the Telegram wallet itself. I think this is very convenient. But the interest, as you can see, is not very high, but if you want to stake your million in ton coins, I warn you that the Telegram wallet is custodial. Well, just like on the exchange, your coins are stored there in custodial wallets. This means that the access keys are stored with a third party. And you are not the full owner, take this into account. And this is also on the site. You can see what other platforms you can stack coins on. You can also use liquidity pools, but that's another topic. I have a video about this. If we summarize all of the above, the ton coin is reliable with the prospect of growth to $20 in the next couple of years thanks to Telegram.
