☑️ Firstly Devs said that "Airdrop and Ecosystem" will get 43% of the Total supply. And of course, I thought that players would get this amount of tokens on the day of TGE
☑️ Today become known, that 9% of this will be added to the #Binance Launchpool, and 19% will be distributed later "within 12 quarters". So the community left only 15% - almost three times less than should be at the TGE moment
☑️ I can't say that Catizen is a total scam, it is not correct. However, the airdrop allocation was very disappointing for the community. This could undermine confidence in the project and hinder its further development.
Telegram begins to inpose charges of $0.01 in TON on New Users to Authenticate Phone Numbers Worldwide .... More details.

Telegram Gateway is the cheapest way to verify phone numbers of users. It allows any service to send authorization codes through Telegram instead of traditional SMS – offering a powerful and convenient way to lower costs while increasing the security and delivery speed of your codes to Telegram’s 950+ million monthly active users.
"Telegram has been paying atrocious rates to verify its almost billion users, so others won’t have to. Our prices are so low that I’m not sure we can meaningfully profit from this. But I hope this will make the world more efficient and reduce costs for many services worldwide 🤝" . Pavel Durov states
☑️ Today became known, the exact amount of $CATI distribution for each account
☑️ In total 34% of the $CATI supply will be distributed among the community
☑️ In the current phase, the players will get only 15% of the total supply. The other 19% will be distributed within 12 quarters following the TGE
☑️ In other words, the developers hope that people will continue playing to receive more tokens.
☑️ The main criteria for the current airdrop was probably the amount of investments. Most people got X2-X3 ROI, at the same time, players who spent a lot of time in the game but didn't donate so much were disappointed due to the low amount of $CATI distribution.
BREAKING News: Telegram CEO Pavel Durov issues statement about his arrest, shares his experience....
Thanks everyone for your support and love! Last month I got interviewed by police for 4 days after arriving in Paris. I was told I may be personally responsible for other people’s illegal use of Telegram, because the French authorities didn’t receive responses from Telegram. This was surprising for several reasons: 1. Telegram has an official representative in the EU that accepts and replies to EU requests. Its email address has been publicly available for anyone in the EU who googles “Telegram
#Durov spoke about contacts with French counterintelligence (DGSI) during interrogation
☑️ Durov said that he "opened an official channel of communication" with DGSI as part of the fight against terrorism. In particular, this concerns a certain "hotline" and a special e-mail address.
☑️ OKX and Bitget officially confirmed that $HMTSR will be listed on the spot on this date
☑️ Hamster added a withdrawal tab for OKX in the bot.
☑️ Almost all major exchanges launched $HMSTR pre-market. Binance added the Hamster price to the website. IMHO - $HMSTR will be listed on Binance on Sep, 26 with a 95% chance
☑️ In September 2024, the US House Financial Services Committee will begin discussing crypto-related issues, including DeFi, fraud, and the activities of the SEC
☑️ In total, several hearings are expected. The first will take place on September 10, two more on September 18, and the most important one, where the SEC will testify, is scheduled for September 23.

PAVEL DUROV SAYS, THE U.S. WANTED TO CONTROL TELEGRAM BETTER
“We get too much attention from the FBI and other security agencies whenever we come to the U.S.
The last time I was in the U.S., I brought an engineer who works for Telegram.
There was an attempt by cybersecurity officers or agents to secretly hire my engineer behind my back.
They were curious to learn which open-source libraries are integrated into Telegram's app, and they tried to persuade him to use certain open-source tools that would serve as backdoors.
I personally experienced similar pressure in the U.S. Whenever I would go to the U.S., I would have two FBI agents greet me at the airport, asking questions.
My understanding is that they wanted to establish a relationship to control Telegram better.”
