Humans are hardwired to copy others by evolution — for a good reason. Mimicking those around us has been the most efficient survival strategy for millions of years. However, the world is different today. We now live in an age of rapid change — what used to be efficient becomes a recipe for mediocrity and decay. 🥂 Let 2025 be the year we rely on our own opinions — not imposed stereotypes and outdated thought patterns. Only by trusting our instincts and following our own unique paths can we fulfill our potential and make great contributions to the world. Have a happy and productive 2025, everyone! ✨

Telegram is now profitable 🏆 📈 This year, the number of Telegram Premium subscribers tripled, exceeding 12 million. Our ad revenue also increased a few times. Telegram's total revenue in 2024 surpassed $1 billion, and we are closing the year with more than $500 million in cash reserves, not including crypto assets 🪙 🏦 Over the past four years, Telegram has issued about $2 billion in debt. We repaid a meaningful share of it this Fall, taking advantage of favorable prices for the Telegram bonds. But there’s a lot of work ahead 👨‍💻 🔬 Our innovations in monetization this year (⭐️Stars, 🎁 Gifts, 🪙Giveaways, 🖥 Mini Apps, 🤝the Affiliate Platform, 💼Telegram Business, and 📥Telegram Gateway) demonstrate that social media platforms can achieve financial sustainability while staying independent and respecting users' rights 💪

LEGEND.

Gm 🫡 New thread dropping today 🧵

Many of the hyped mints of the last few weeks are currently experiencing a bad awakening. We are seeing many of these (gaming) NFT projects in a downturn. FUD is going around. Especially free mint projects are surprised. But all this was predictable. For several reasons: If the hype is too big, then expectations will inevitably be disappointed. It doesn't matter whether the project is a free mint or a 3 ETH dutch auction. The market's sentiment is never a function of mint price vs what is delivered. It's a function of average buy-in price of current holders vs today's floor price. Many teams in Web3 have still not understood this. Messages from team members like: "We were a free mint, have 0% royalties and never promised anything" are then often the trigger for even more FUD. Because although the teams might be right about the free mint no expectations narrative: This is not how the space works. Free mints do not really benefit the expectations or the teams behind the projects, but often only the people who mint and (in many cases) flip after the mint. Expectations are based on hype & floor prices after mint. Not just mint price. Do you agree?
