During an interview with Tucker Carlson, Telegram co-founder and CEO Pavel Durov said he has held a few hundred million dollars in his bank account or bitcoin for 10 years.
Durov also predicted that new secure crypto hardware wallet-like communication devices will be created amid privacy concerns.
He shared his concerns about the Democracy in Russia!
Telegram founder Pavel Durov said he fled Russia over Kremlin pressure to share Ukrainian pro-democracy protesters’ personal data in 2013 in a rare interview with Tucker Carlson.
The eccentric tech CEO told Carlson that he and Telegram — one of the world’s fastest-growing messaging apps — relocated to Dubai in 2017 to avoid being “geopolitically aligned” or “select winners in any political fight.”
“I would rather be free than to take orders from anyone,” Durov said in the hourlong interview published on Carlson’s YouTube channel Wednesday.
During the 2011-12 mass protests against rigging in Russia’s parliamentary elections, Durov said he had refused state orders to take down opposition communities on VKontakte, the social network he co-founded in 2007.
But he had even worse things to say about liberal hell hole San Francisco!
Durov said that he wanted to put the headquarters in San Francisco until he was “attacked in the streets” while visiting the city.
“This is the only country I got attacked in the street.”

Durov forecast that Telegram, which has 900 million active users, would cross 1 billion active monthly users within one year.
The app, which touts itself as a safe and secure communications tool, does not use end-to-end encryption by default.
Mark Van der Veen offers some of the most analytical and insightful writings on politics. He regularly opines on the motives and political calculations of politicians and candidates, and whether or not their strategy will work. Van der Veen offers a contrast to many on this list by sticking mainly to a fact-based style of writing that is generally combative with opposing ideologies.
