Telegram turns 6 years today. Throughout these years, Telegram stood up for freedom and privacy. We defended what we believe in against tyrannies, kleptocracies and corporations.
Today, 6 years after launch, Telegram is the third largest global messaging app in terms of the number of countries where Telegram is in top 10 Social Networking apps.
Let us celebrate today. Tomorrow we’ll get back to building new features. There’s a lot of exciting work left to do.

Life Formulas from Naval Ravikant.
These are notes to myself. Your frame of reference, and therefore your calculations, may vary. These are not definitions – these are algorithms for success. Contributions welcome.
Happiness = Health + Wealth + Good Relationships
Health = Exercise + Diet + Sleep
Exercise = High Intensity Resistance Training + Sports + Rest
Diet = Natural Foods + Intermittent Fasting + Plants
Sleep = No alarms + 8-9 hours + Circadian Rhythms
Wealth = Income + Wealth * (Return on Investment)
Income = Accountability + Leverage + Specific Knowledge
Accountability = Personal Branding + Personal Platform + Taking Risk?
Leverage = Capital + People + Intellectual Property
Specific Knowledge = Knowing how to do something that society cannot yet easily train other people to do
RoI = Buy-and-Hold + Valuation + Margin of Safety

I think I finally found a person who can give a proper advice on how to become wealthy💰. This mans name is Naval Ravikant. Weird thing is that I've seen him about 2-3 years ago taking interview from Vitalik Buterin, but unfortunately I didn't pay attention…
Currently working on translating this epic podcast to Russian language. I really want to share this knowledge with my brothers and friends who can't speak English.
In addition also working on a chatbot that can teach users how to build telegram chatbots. I will make an announcement here when it's done.
Imagine you do ten pushups every day.
Every day, with no excuses. In a year, you’ll be 3,650 pushups stronger.
Imagine you read for ten minutes every day. In a year, you’ll read six books.
Here’s the best part.
If you incrementally increase your input, the compound effect kicks into play.
IF YOU ADD ONE MORE MINUTE TO YOUR READING TIME EVERY DAY, IT ADDS UP TO 80 BOOKS A YEAR.
That’s 10x difference with the linear model. Just for one more minute a day.
And don’t bullshit me that you can’t carve a minute today. You can. “I don’t have time” is just another way of saying that it’s not a priority.
The best part of the compound effect is that it makes habit-building easy.
Everyone can start reading for one minute a day. Everyone can do one pushup.
But after you build a habit, it’s hard to stop.

Huge unrests are happening in Hong Kong in a wake of trade war between United States and China. Once upon a time Hong Kong has been a window to capitalism for China, but things have changed. China seems to lose its patience with relatively free state. So far China s goal was to get millions of people out of powerty using half planning and half trade economy. Communist party been pretty successful at getting about 300 mill people out of poverty and filling up a quarter of Forbes list.
China is increasingly a high-tech police state, their social contact seems to be like this - want to be prosperous, then give up your freedom. In my mind it doesn't work, but Chinese communist party made it work and it's quite remarkable. It will be interesting how this is going to progress and what's goin to happen to Hong Kong.
What do u think ? Can China sustain this model wealth for freedom?

Apparently Libet's famous brain experiment that proved absence of free will has been debunked.
This is huge folks! And it has reopened the free will debate which lasted for thousands of years.
This is great! Check out the article below.

I took this pole intentionally and I have to admit that results were not what I expected.
I've personally worked in marketing most of my career, but honestly, most of the time, I get really bored during marketing talks full of typical corporate cliches, science jargon or graphs ....loads of graphs.
Rory Sutherland is one of those exceptional marketing profesionals who knows subject extremely well and also daring enough to extend boundaries and "borrow" from psychology, theory of evolution, game theory, etc.
This talk is pretty long, but I think its worth listening.
