«С 1830 года в Чувашской Республике бушевала эпидемия холеры. В то время подобные болезни назывались поветриями. Согласно местным верованиям, поветрия приносились из других стран ветрами или притекали по воде. Люди считали, что болезни — это злые духи, обитающие в воде, продуктах питания, домашних предметах и одежде, откуда они затем нападали на человека».

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.
