Telegram 創辦人 Pavel Durov 在法國被捕後，全球對該流行通訊服務的未來存在不確定性。加密領域也感受到了衝擊波。

Virtually everyone involved in crypto uses Telegram. Every project, every coin, every medium has a channel or chat group. Including our blog. Consequently, the arrest of Pavel Durov, the founder and CEO of Telegram, has left hardly anyone unaffected.

幾乎每個參與加密貨幣的人都使用 Telegram。每個項目、每種貨幣、每種媒體都有一個頻道或聊天群組。包括我們的部落格。因此，Telegram 創始人兼首席執行官 Pavel Durov 的被捕幾乎沒有人不受影響。

Tron founder Justin Sun, a prominent crypto billionaire, is now standing up for Durov. He suggests on Twitter (now X) creating a DAO, a decentralized autonomous organization to help the Telegram founder regain his freedom. With sufficient community support, he will donate one million dollars.

Tron 創辦人賈斯汀·孫 (Justin Sun) 是一位著名的加密貨幣億萬富翁，現在正在為杜羅夫挺身而出。他在 Twitter（現在的 X）上建議創建一個 DAO，一個去中心化的自治組織，以幫助 Telegram 創始人重獲自由。如果社會各界有足夠的支持，他將捐贈100萬美元。

However, exactly how and what remains open. Someone reminds Justin Sun on Twitter (now X) that Pavel Durov himself is wealthy, but this is one of those cases where money doesn’t help. Understanding why the crypto community should collect money for Pavel is indeed hard to grasp.

然而，具體如何以及內容仍然開放。有人在 Twitter（現在是 X）上提醒賈斯汀·孫（Justin Sun），帕維爾·杜羅夫（Pavel Durov）本人很富有，但這是金錢無濟於事的情況之一。理解為什麼加密社群應該為帕維爾籌集資金確實很難理解。

It’s intriguing, though, that a DAO could establish itself as an instrument for collecting and managing funds for specific purposes without fearing misuse by those in charge. This model has already been tested for SilkRoad administrator Ross Ulbricht and Wikileaks founder Julian Assange.

不過，有趣的是，DAO 可以將自己打造成為特定目的收集和管理資金的工具，而不必擔心被負責人濫用。該模型已經過絲路管理員羅斯·烏布利希和維基解密創始人朱利安·阿桑奇的測試。

The community is more directly feeling Durov’s arrest in their wallets. The Toncoin (TON = The Open Network) closely associated with Telegram plunged from about six euros to about five euros, losing roughly 20 percent. However, the coin was still just under two euros at the beginning of the year and remains one of the strongest cryptocurrencies despite the drop, still significantly up against Bitcoin.

社區更直接感受到杜羅夫的被捕是他們錢包裡的事。與 Telegram 密切相關的 Toncoin（TON = 開放網路）從約 6 歐元暴跌至約 5 歐元，損失約 20%。然而，該代幣在今年年初仍略低於兩歐元，儘管有所下跌，但仍是最強勁的加密貨幣之一，仍顯著高於比特幣。

Pavel Durov was arrested on Saturday after flying to France on his private jet. France accuses him of not taking decisive action against drug trafficking, fraud, and child abuse on Telegram. He is said to have refused to cooperate with French law enforcement and is complicit in terrorism, drug trafficking, fencing, and money laundering.

帕維爾·杜羅夫於週六乘坐私人飛機飛往法國後被捕。法國指責他沒有採取果斷行動打擊 Telegram 上的販毒、欺詐和虐待兒童行為。據稱，他拒絕與法國執法部門合作，並參與恐怖主義、販毒、擊劍和洗錢活動。

Durov, who founded the Russian platform VKontakte in 2006—essentially the Russian Facebook—created Telegram in 2013. He has had multiple unpleasant encounters with the Russian government, such as when he refused to block the VKontakte page of opposition figure Alexey Navalny. Currently, he resides in Dubai and manages Telegram from there. His current relationship with the Russian government remains unclear.

杜羅夫於2006 年創立了俄羅斯平台VKontakte（本質上是俄羅斯Facebook），並於2013 年創建了Telegram。 ·納瓦尼(Alexey Navalny) 的VKontakte 頁面。目前，他居住在迪拜並在那裡管理 Telegram。他目前與俄羅斯政府的關係仍不清楚。

The messenger has around one billion users worldwide and is an excellent tool for chat groups and channels. It has firmly established itself in the crypto scene, with virtually every company and project having its own group—for better or worse. Fraud and market manipulation are also often arranged through Telegram groups.

該聊天工具在全球擁有約 10 億用戶，是聊天群組和頻道的絕佳工具。它已經在加密貨幣領域牢固地確立了自己的地位，幾乎每個公司和專案都有自己的團隊——無論好壞。詐欺和市場操縱也經常透過 Telegram 群組進行。

In recent years, Telegram has also become an epicenter of disinformation. There’s a flood of Telegram groups engaging in the perpetrator-victim reversal in the Ukraine war or obsessively focusing on the COVID-19 topic. Amidst Russia’s mass murder in Ukraine, the platform also serves military coordination, while the Russian state maintains channels up to the Central Bank and former President Dmitry Medvedev without hesitation. This suggests that the government has made its peace with Telegram.

近年來，Telegram 也成為假訊息的中心。有大量的 Telegram 群組參與了烏克蘭戰爭中肇事者與受害者的逆轉，或沉迷於關注 COVID-19 主題。在俄羅斯在烏克蘭發生大規模屠殺的過程中，該平台還服務於軍事協調，而俄羅斯政府則毫不猶豫地與中央銀行和前總統梅德韋傑夫保持聯繫。這表明政府已經與 Telegram 達成和解。

The crackdown on Pavel Durov is being heavily criticized worldwide. Indeed, a shutdown of Telegram could have adverse effects on freedom of expression and massively disrupt the communication of many innocent groups. At the same time, France might acquire a powerful lever to combat disinformation and significantly impair Russia’s military and political communication. How this year’s most spectacular arrest will play out remains to be seen.

對帕維爾·杜羅夫的鎮壓在全世界受到嚴厲批評。事實上，關閉 Telegram 可能會對言論自由產生不利影響，並嚴重擾亂許多無辜群體的溝通。同時，法國可能會獲得打擊假訊息的強大槓桿，並嚴重損害俄羅斯的軍事和政治溝通。今年最引人注目的逮捕行動將如何展開還有待觀察。
