Durov’s lifestyle runs on Bitcoin, not Telegram. 🟠✈️
In a chat with Lex Fridman, Pavel Durov revealed that his wealth isn’t coming from Telegram — the messenger is actually a money-losing project for him personally. What keeps him afloat are his early $BTC investments.
Back in 2013, he put “a few million” into Bitcoin at around $700 per coin, grabbing a couple thousand. People pitied him when the price dropped to $200–300 in 2014, but he never sold. That stubbornness turned into freedom: today, it funds villas, jets, and a lifestyle unchained from corporate profit.
What I love is his clarity: for Durov, $BTC is the perfect medium of exchange — immune to political censorship, with a hard cap unlike fiat. He even said he sees Bitcoin reaching $1M one day. En vrai, hearing it from someone who actually lived through the pain of early drawdowns makes it feel less like hype, more like conviction forged in fire.
