You may wonder how the French became top historical performers—producing abundant art, inventing numerous things, creating world-class cuisine, and achieving Europe’s best military win-loss ratio. Their secret: they work to live, not live to work. This approach fosters a productive culture with boundless energy, ready to haul ass when things go down. It is proof that an Anglo-Protestant work ethic is not the only way. The French strike the balance between northern and southern Europe.

This ability to mix the public and the private, as well as the ability to use bots to engage with users has proved to be problematic. In early 2021, a database selling phone numbers pulled from Facebook was selling numbers for $20 per lookup. Similarly, security researchers found a network of deepfake bots on the platform that were generating images of people submitted by users to create non-consensual imagery, some of which involved children.

The initial signals were promising, especially given Telegram’s user base is already fairly crypto-savvy. It raised an initial tranche of cash – worth more than a billion dollars – to help develop the coin before opening sales to the public. Unfortunately, third-party sales of coins bought in those initial fundraising rounds raised the ire of the SEC, which brought the hammer down on the whole operation. In 2020, officials ordered Telegram to pay a fine of $18.5 million and hand back much of the cash that it had raised.
