This initial sum is most likely the pre-sale stage of the ICO which, as TechCrunch reported on extensively and in detail last month, was targeted at venture capital firms and top figures in the investment community who were given deep discounts to buy Telegram’s Gram token. The pre-sale was originally targeted at raising $600 million, but demand pushed the figure up to $850 million, according to a Bloomberg report.

I understand that ordinary mortals can only buy coins on stock exchanges?

Telegram is a great place for crypto, it appears to be more useful than twitter and facebook. If you're looking for a great investment, take a look at https://telexai.com/ which allows you to trade p2p on telegram with not trading fees! Currently TLX tokens are less than 4 cents on yobit. https://yobit.net/en/trade/TLX/BTC

Wow does telegram really doing an ICO right now? i have been waiting for the ICO to start but it seems there are no official statement from telegram so this could be another fake news,If telegram has started their own network the news could easily spread but i didnt heard anything from telegram.

Your link says ut us unsafe,should i be worried about it?
Is the source of your news really a credible source?

If this is true then i think it is worth the risk to join on this ICO. Telegram is a very well know social app that is used worldwide and it is one of the main social app that is very useful in cryptocurrency.

This is beyond the huge. There is enough information about the pre-sale though.
When we know the detailso of sale, and the functions of token we can think more clearly.

That is really huge and I really wanted to participate but it seems like it's got a huge demand and the price is most likely high. I'm excited to see where that one is going to go especially once it hits the exchanges.

I thought the telegram ceo came out with a response a few weeks ago about how they were not doing an ico at all

Now it is very ineteresno that there will be a team Telegram, with so much money. I think that the project can be very interesting. How do you know when collecting white paper and general information about the project?

This is quite normal because telegrams are very useful for cryptop. Even facebook and twitter can not be compared to telegrams. Most people use cryptop telegram. about 99%
