They say Redo’s doggies will look like this. What do you think? Personally, I think it’s kind of crap. 😁

How do you like my little plane? Pretty, isn’t it? Overall, I actually liked the whole thing yesterday. Slick, reasonable, expensive. Pasha finally figured out how to sell a gift at the maximum price right away, instead of all those silly schemes with reselling on the secondary market for more. This gift could potentially become the most expensive one. First, we’re unlikely to see a supply under 1,000 again. It doesn’t look very solid, considering there are a billion users. Second, it’s the Telegram logo, after all. They really shouldn’t have stuck it on a little metal badge, they should’ve put the main focus on the fact that it is the logo. And the next auctions won’t be nearly as sweet (for the beneficiaries). Take Khabib, for example. He’ll just get his money and go back to the gym. Those gifts are purely for fans, nothing more. Remember that wrestler in the stickers? Same story. t.me/nft/CookieHeart-78245

So, a little plane it is then. The supply is only 1,000 pieces. I can’t even check how much you need to get into the top 20. 100k stars isn’t enough. I’ve got a feeling it’ll be cheaper to buy one off someone later anyway. Still, I’m not taking part in this madness, it’s more like entertainment for oligarchs. Another sad thought came to mind: what’s going to happen to the Durov figurines now? They don’t look that cool anymore. Why would you need a figurine when there’s a plane?

The event’s not mine — I just posted the announcement! A friend asked me to share it. I’ll say right away: this one’s not for the broke, the entry fee is pretty hefty. Twenty-five percent of it goes toward building a school in Nepal. Contact with the organizers: @Sergey_pro8000 I wanted to post something thrilling and interesting too, since they finally handed me a phone, but I overestimated our swamp. Same old story, nothing worth writing about. Rumors are going around about gifts from Khabib (not the singer). Those, I’ll definitely skip. Seriously.

I'd like to speak out about the situation with TON Foundation, their plans to make their own stickers, and ScamoSanya's whining because he's being thrown overboard along with his stickers. Of course, everyone's great here. TON Foundation announced a long time ago that there would be tokenized stickers (way before the gifts), and when Sanya started implementing them, no one from Telegram's leadership questioned this initiative. But now, when the gifts started dying off, they decided to start squeezing money out of stickers themselves. ScamoSanya is crying that he brought a bunch of celebrities into the stickers, and no one appreciated it. Well, yeah, he did bring them, but these celebrities weren't interested in Telegram at all; they just wanted to get a bit more money to maintain their prosperous lives. In the end, all the stickers are complete crap, impossible to use—they're just regular ad integrations that were forced on ordinary users to buy. And as per the classic, the ones who end up suffering in this situation will be the regular users who bought this crap in hopes of full integration into Telegram and complete support from TON Foundation. I don't feel sorry for ScamoSanya; I feel sorry for the people with pockets full of unofficial stickers. Disclaimer | All combo| RUS Channel | AddList Chats: English | Russian

Well, how are you doing here without me? I got kinda tilted, got tired of writing in circles about how everything sucks with gifts, TON, and Telegram. You know this yourselves, and if you don't, you'll read about it on a bunch of similarly mediocre channels. During my absence, absolutely nothing happened. Except that they promised to display the cost of gifts in the profile and some new sorting. The sorting sounds interesting, because in the current form I couldn't organize my collection properly. I haven't seen how it will be implemented yet, but if it's roughly like in the market, it'll do. Also, now we'll have playlists from pirated music and display of the currently playing track in the status. You can also listen to others' playlists. Well, Snoop Dogg will be happy, the track rights holders not so much. Disclaimer | All combo| RUS Channel | AddList Chats: English | Russian

And that’s how views drop. Time to just start posting cat memes instead of all this. Telegram’s actions are killing my channel. Disclaimer | All combo| RUS Channel | AddList Chats: English | Russian

Grok drew a concept for the glasses for me. Looks like gem. 😁 Disclaimer | All combo| RUS Channel | AddList Chats: English | Russian

By the way, yeah, none of the new gifts have any upgrades, so it’s like freezing your money for an indefinite time. And what’s gonna happen with the gifts in, say, six months? Will they drop below cost beforehand? Disclaimer | All combo| RUS Channel | AddList Chats: English | Russian

But looking at the dog concepts, the hassle seems to fade a bit. What’s with those clownish outfits? I hope the final versions have some variety. Disclaimer | All combo| RUS Channel | AddList Chats: English | Russian

Alright, I’m back. Took a creative break yesterday. After that shift waiting for gifts, I felt some serious burnout. I got totally played. Waited and waited for those dogs, but ended up buying two pairs of Durov’s glasses. The plan was to snag something super rare first, then go for the dogs. Didn’t work out—dogs sold out faster. It was a race against the clock, didn’t even have time to check the issuance. Only later saw that 5,000 glasses were sold at a high price right away to stop scalpers from profiting on the secondary market. In terms of cost-to-issuance ratio, the dogs were way better, though more of a hassle, of course. I don’t even know what to do with the glasses. Probably gonna see some Pepes, Pashas, and Elons in glasses. Looking at the Telegram birthday gifts overall, it’s clear they’re not listening to us. Six more gifts, four of which were just thrown out there for no reason. And now they’ve announced gifts for September 1st, which are already worth skipping, because enough is enough.

Get ready, there will be gifts. 100% legit info (from Pavel).

🍬 In honor of Telegram’s birthday and summer break, we’ll be giving away several limited-edition gifts within the next hour: Durov’s glasses, resistance dog, sandcastle, surfboard, and pink flamingo 🎁

We only have today! It’s time to start… Actually, this is a Mother Teresa quote, but Pasha loves tossing quotes around, relevant or not, and this one’s totally on point. 😁 Ideally, I’d attach a pic of me shirtless leading a horse out of a burning hut, but I’m not in top shape right now. I’ll hit the gym this fall, promise. Disclaimer | All combo| RUS Channel | AddList Submit a news tip | Chats: English | Russian

Complaints are flying in that I promised to keep everyone entertained all day, but it’s turned out kinda sad instead. Guys, I’m trying, but here’s the deal: I collected the full set of bears and decided to make them a sub-collection in my profile. And guess what? 69 freaking bears. I’m sure I have all 70. There are only two such collections—mine and Lesnik’s. But his background is lame, so no biggie. So how the heck am I supposed to find one missing bear out of 70 in a collection of 800 gifts? Why the hell are there no proper filters? The marketplace has them, so why not in the profile? Anyway, I’m tilting again. And if I don’t manage to buy that damn statuette today, I’m gonna write Durov exactly what I think about this. Not that he reads anything anyway.

Shock content! Bitcoin crashed to $118K. What a scam, unlike our traditionally valuable TON. Oh, wait, it’s already shot up to $119K 😂

Yesterday, an interesting screenshot was circulating, claiming that only those with a rating of 10 or higher could buy gifts. Turns out it was fake, but pretty amusing. The classic “rich get richer, poor get poorer” model could’ve worked well in Telegram. Another fun idea—give a free statuette to those with, say, level 25 (because I’m at 26), and a dog to those at level 10. 😁 Let’s just fully turn Telegram into an MMORPG already—everything’s in place: level grinding, loot, and bots. 👌 Disclaimer | All combo| RUS Channel | AddList Submit a news tip | Chats: English | Russian

I prepared a post in advance for the release of the new gifts. Got inspired by the announcement of a new series I want to check out soon.

The premiere of Redo: Durov Statuette has taken place—two gifts are now available in the paid marketplace. ▪️The gifts have been called the best in the universe of all time; ▪️Influencers and subscribers are calling the statuette the “Elon” of the Telegram world and believe it even outshines gifts from Facebook and VK in some ways; ▪️On Ton.Fo, the gifts received a 93% freshness rating—an incredible result for such a massively inflated issuance; ▪️The first pump will hit 8x—the final pump is set for September 24; ▪️The events unfold on Earth two years before the events of Ridley Scott’s original film. Let’s rush to buy them right after work!

So, today we’re expecting gifts. All signs point to it being a Durov statuette and a Redo dog. Because if not today, then when the hell? Many didn’t sleep last night, but after midnight, people usually only celebrate New Year’s, so I preferred to get a good night’s sleep. I’m expecting the gifts closer to the evening, around 8 PM Istanbul time. Feel free to guess your own time in the comments, and we’ll see who gets closest. As for the issuance, I’m guessing there’ll be very few statuettes (1,000–3,000 pieces) and a ton of dogs (500,000 pieces).

The reason for today’s hustle is Telegram’s birthday. For some reason, I’m not in a festive mood at all. I feel like buying some new gifts and selling them for a profit, but celebrating Telegram for still being alive? Not really feeling it. Still, I suppose we should put on a festive show—after all, even the worst news can be spun in a positive light. Do I like what Telegram has become today? You could list its flaws for ages, but there’s no alternative. It’s the only place where you can chat with friends, have fun, consume content, and improve your user experience. I love Telegram, in my own way, but I do love it. Like the saying goes, “If it hits you, it loves you.” If they block it tomorrow, it’ll just be another day—only longer. I’d sit and watch the sand slip through my fingers, the leaves fall, the sun dip into the waves, turning blood-red, as the sea absorbs the energy of the star, taming the sun, with the fire burning out in the depths. Happy birthday, Telegram! Stay unblocked, keep growing your army of bots, show off pretty charts, and strike those principled agreements!

Starting work, good morning everyone. It’s going to be an interesting day today—I’ve already claimed my workspace and plan to put in a full shift. Ideally, I’d run out for some beer to make things more fun, but I’ll probably send one of the family members for it instead. Don’t want to miss all the good stuff. I’ll be entertaining you from morning till evening today, so get ready to read texts, both big and small. Disclaimer | All combo| RUS Channel | AddList Submit a news tip | Chats: English | Russian
