There is no company on the planet with over 1 billion users capable of shipping innovation at Telegram’s speed. Crafting, had it existed in 2021, could have materially changed both the trajectory and sustainability of the NFT boom. What it will do for Gifts is far more decisive. It positions Telegram as the only blockchain native collectibles platform engineered for durability, scalability, utility, and sustained profitability, something widely believed to be impossible after the collapse of NFTs.

Gifts in 2026 will not revive the NFT narrative of 2021. They will replace it. Having been part of starting the 2021 NFT movement, my recommendation is straightforward. Participate in Gifts before the global explosion. I never believed there would be a person or team capable of surpassing what NFTs represented in 2021, yet you are watching it happen in real time. You are part of history unfolding.

My great grandfather was born in Russia. All roads lead to Telegram.

I was deplatformed on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter (pre Elon) in a coordinated attack that cost me hundreds of millions. You don’t get erased off the face of this earth like that unless you’re an existential threat.

I sued them for antitrust and won.

All roads lead to Telegram.

Happy 7th birthday to my twins Cruz & Rain. I can’t wait till you’re old enough to be on Telegram 🤍

Imagine putting freedom on a wanted list.

This is exactly what happened to me with @NFT, @crypto and 50+ others.

If a platform can take your identity away, what did you ever own in the first place?

…history repeats itself 🥸
