A familiar tale of missed opportunities in crypto. A dominating player, Telegram, chose short-term gains over long-term success, now facing fierce competition from other networks with no technical edge.

A missed opportunity indeed. Their focus on short-term gains led to a narrow vision, neglecting the potential for long-term growth through partnerships and fee-based monetization.
