If Telegram crypto actually worked, they'd make far more money licensing the crypto than just running a chat app.

Who would buy the licenses? In a world where the libraries for the Signal protocol are free, lol.

Assuming that money is what they’re after. Are you reading Durov’s channel on Telegram? Also, having invented the Russian Facebook and forcefully selling it to the Kreml - I don’t think he needs any more money. He’s playing a totally different game. I don’t know which one though.

Pavel Durov is so mindboggingly rich that he had a good shot at being a Russian oligarch, and decided not to. I don't think that's an argument.
