I fail to understand the actual value-add of this crypto currency. Ok, so we will have "Grams" that will be integrated into Telegram and their users can use. Now what? What will I be able to do with it? How will "grams" gain value over time ? Who will be mining ?
Even if it's fake and they are not going to release a blockchain they won't directly tell that. Why? Why stop all this free PR?
But it seems to me that it's unlikely, given that in some countries with a lot of users they are on shaky grounds due to encryption. Releasing a currency will only lead to more active blocking
