Pavel Durov, the founder of the Telegram messenger, gave an interview to Lex Friedman, where, in particular, he talked about his faith and investment in the first cryptocurrency. According to him, he bought the first “several thousand bitcoins” back in 2013 at a price of around $700.
Durov said that the following year, after the bitcoin price dropped to $200-$300, many people sympathized with him for the investment. However, he replied that he was not going to sell because he believes in cryptocurrency as a reliable medium of exchange that cannot be confiscated or censored.
In addition, the Telegram founder said that the messenger is not a source of profit for him personally. According to him, it is the investment in the first cryptocurrency that allows him to rent housing and fly private aviation.
In his opinion, the first cryptocurrency has every chance to grow to $1 million. He argued that governments continue to print fiat currencies while the issuance of the asset is limited:
Recall, after his arrest in August 2024 Durov is under judicial supervision in France. He is obliged to report to the authorities every two weeks, and the date of consideration of the appeal has not yet been determined.

Pepeto vs Blockdag Vs Layer Brett Vs Remittix and Little Pepe
The post Pepeto vs Blockdag Vs Layer Brett Vs Remittix and Little Pepe appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 18 September 2025 | 05:39 Hunting the best crypto investment in 2025? Presales can flip a portfolio fast and sometimes change a life overnight when you choose well, which is why we start with receipts instead of slogans and cut straight to what’s live, audited, and usable today, not vague aspirations likely to drift as cycles turn and narratives fade for months. In this head-to-head we put Pepeto (PEPETO) up against Blockdag, Layer Brett, Remittix, and Little Pepe using simple yardsticks, team intent and delivery, on-chain proofs, tokenomics clarity, DEX and bridge readiness, PayFi rails, staking, and listing prep, so you can act on facts, not hype, and decide confidently before the next leg higher catches you watching from the sidelines. Pepeto’s Utility Play: Zero-Fee DEX, Bridge, And StrongPotential Pepeto treats the meme coin playbook like a platform brief, not a joke. The team ships fast, polishes details, and shows up weekly, aiming for staying power rather than a momentary pop. A hard-capped design anchors PepetoSwap, a zero-fee exchange where every trade routes through PEPETO for built-in usage instead of buzz. Already 850+ projects have applied to list, fertile ground for volume if listings follow. A built-in cross-chain bridge adds smart routing to unify liquidity, cut extra hops, and reduce slippage, turning activity into steady token demand because every swap touches PEPETO. Pepeto is audited by independent experts Solidproof and Coinsult, a trust marker reflected in more than $6,7 Million already raised in presale. Early momentum is visible. The presale puts early buyers at the front of the line with staking and stage-based price increases, and that line is getting long. Utility plus purpose, culture plus tools, the combo that tends to run farther than hype alone. Translation for you: Pepeto is graduating from noise to usage. If…
