According to Foresight News, Pavel Durov, the founder of Telegram, has suggested that the intensification of government surveillance will lead to the creation of secure communication devices inspired by cryptocurrency hardware wallets. He also anticipates innovation around these secure communication hardware devices.
When discussing company ownership, Durov believes that it is important to avoid risk investments to prevent external influences on the operation of Telegram. He revealed that he holds 'hundreds of millions of dollars' in fiat currency and Bitcoin, which allows him to guide his projects and company with 100% ownership.
