And
for a while, it worked spectacularly well.
But there was a fundamental problem. Users were being trained to extract value from applications instead to create value inside them. They transformed users into mercenaries.
When token prices stopped rewarding that behavior, the model began to collapse. And instead of returning to the original question "what useful can we build on TON?" they found an easier form of monetization - speculation without pretending there was a product underneath.
Technology that demonstrated an extraordinary ability to distribute applications to hundreds of millions of people is now being used by people against one another.

But!Telegram is still an extraordinary distribution tool. With TON attached.
But what is the key change? What can builders do rn?
Exactly what we did last 2 years. Do boring but extremely important for TON future projects.
Make ❤️TON boring! And bring real economy instead of manipulations and speculations.
We need to make TON (and NOT of course) something people actually
need to buy - not because its pumping, hyping, or because every influencer bought it.
TON needs demand, not hype.
The real win is when people use TON every day without even thinking they’re using blockchain.
That’s exactly why we build projects like ⭐️
Talents. Shortly (right after we finish some legal questions) clients will be allowed to pay for projects by cards / IBAN transfers and get work done without even knowing that freelancer got paid in Gram / TON USDT.
But they buy Gram in deed while making order. And it creates liquidity inflow to TON ecosystem.
This is a beauty of boring TON. Make TON boring.
Make Make TON boring a new narrative.
