Telegram is not banning cryptocurrency as indicated in the information i got from the site you provided. They only have a server downtime due to power outage and it affecting just cryptocurrency, but every other users are affected.
Just as the info also says that telegram has been struggling with intermittent downtime for a couple of  hours now, but it is worth noting that some users report being able to connect to the service occasionally.
Telegram founder Pavel Durov has since taken to Twitter to confirm the downtime and to ensure that the company is working on a solution.
So, everything will be back to normal.

It's impossible! Telegrams always pursue a policy of freedom for users. I think that in this messenger there are no such restrictions, and what is written in the article is just a rumor.

And what are we waiting for the closure of the dialogue even between the narrow collective? If someone in the chat wrote something about crypto currency? But what about privacy?

I also noticed that today the telegram has become very bad to work with, perhaps it is certainly an attack on the telegram server, I think that if such an attack was then Durov would definitely say in his channel, but he did not write anything about it.

I doubt this can be true, why limit the freedom of speech.
Why would people even want to keep using telegram in that case?

How true? If they ban crypto topics, their gonna lose thousands of people which is gonna drag them down.

No reason to. The crypto community is strong and has a very powerful presence on Telegram.

Just hoping that this won't take place, because all this banning won't be of any help to the crypto world. Just recently google and facebook go on this line follow soot is twitter going through the line just can't wait to forget all this and don't hinder anything in the crypto world.

Telegram cant be banned. Topics also imo, crypto or something else. Only if we are talking about web version and only in that case if your country will decide to ban its website.
But ban an application - it will be much more harder, they will need to make request to appstore or google play market to delist it.
And also remember that for android users - google play is not the only way to download applications, they can download it direct from the internet.
And also desktop - same way, downloading from web site. So it will be very hard to ban telegram and make alll its users find another messenger :)

ah? So what's the reason this communication was created in the first place? It is not like a public page that would bother all people using the service if you don't want to be disturbed you can just leave the group chat, that's easy if they ban group that discus cryptos and they like, I don't think that any individual would use their service, if they want to fee then its normal to implement, since system need maintenance too.

If there was really an attack then he won't probably tell the public, If I am the CEO I would probably secure the image of my company so that's why we are not hearing any bad news about it. Unlike social media  banning crypto, I bet their incomes have gone bad and concluded to ban ads in promoting ICO. Well this was just pure opinions and not by any compact source, you might as well disregard but we are all free to say what ever we want. I felt that it this was really coming and maybe a lot more like limiting users of post or tweets everyday, well just my intuitions.

Telegram has held ICO this year, so why would they ban crypto? On the opposite, they are into it and support its development.

Pavel Durov against any bans, Russia was trying to pressure him and was away sent. There will be no prohibition of cryptocurrency there. They released their own cryptocurrency and it would be foolish to prohibit it from themselves.

Telegram is an excellent program, but it works fine only for small groups, no more than 20-30 people. More than these numbers, messages are lost in chaos and it becomes useless.

hopefully not forbid, but to give full support, that's my hope

Was supposed to say the same thing too which if they do already have the views on banning crypto then they wont really tend or plan to create their own tokens.Its just really a senseless thing to think off that they would gonna ban themselves.On what purpose that they do create their own coin? This is just really a misundertanding or misinterpretation towards OP's claims, maybe they are experiencing issues but would really be just on technical aspects.

It's normal that telegram begins to have these problems, it's an application that is increasingly known and used, not only by the users of cryptocurrencies. The increase in the number of users makes the servers fall because they can't support so much volume.

The last time i used telegram to get updates about crypto, all i saw that it was filled with spammers and spambot. They actually exceeded the total number of real users. And most them were pump and dump groups and some even promoted shaddy and scammy shits. They actually had poor regulations. Not sure how they are now. Hope they improved.

No No No!It's not gonna happen.Telegram always stand for the freedom of the user.They are not gonna Ban crypto topic.Also, they are coming soon in the crypto list. They are not gonna do it.It is one of the biggest platforms for crypto.Maybe they would take some restriction but not gonna ban.

It would be indeed insane to follow the path of FB and Twitter and engage n crypto censorship. I assume the biggest community using their app is in fact the crypto one.

In my opinion, in general it is not good news no matter how much it becomes speculation, with the closing the dialogue in the crypto can lead to unpleasant situations in the future for investors. We are in a globalized world the democratization of the means is essential for development in general. In relation to the telegram this situation is regrettable and this must be corrected.

I dont think so. Telegram has full support for cryptocurrency. I believe telegram has seen their potential market in crypto that's why they never would go to that route of banning crypto. I don't see that anywhere in the blog you just gave.it just says. Its experiencing downtime and its normal because many people are using it.

I think Telegram is very reliant on users interested in crypto and ICOs. That is how I heard about it after all.

They will not shun the community as it is too large for them to ignore.

It is important people read and digest information before reaching conclusions. It is dangerous to draw conclusions based on incomplete information or data. Telegram is not banning ICO. IF it will, then it has failed already in its ICO because very few people and that would be big pockets will participate in the tokensale. SO get your information right next time

If telegram ban cryptocurrency, what is the purpose of their ICO? You just over reacting dude. I might say that it is the best entry for telegram to promote their ICO where they will promise to improve their service using their own token and blockchain. If that happens, ethereum will get another stronger competitor next to ripple. That sounds more exciting right? Besides, telegram ICO already have millions of investors on their private sale. If they ban cryptocurrency, telegram is just digging their own grave.

Telegram - like any other chat - works well if it is used to communicate in small groups. When - as happens in the crypto groups - there are thousands of participants, the result is only the most complete chaos.

Yes, both these things are contradictory. A lot of people using telegram are investors in crypto. If telegram decides to ban all crypto advertisements, these users will also show their revenge by ignoring the ICO launched by Telegram. Who will support an ICO backed by a company which is itself against the growth of crypto community.

If they are doing this to eliminate competition and affect other coins, it is one of the most unprofessional way to do business.
