Telegram 创始人帕维尔·杜罗夫 (Pavel Durov) 在法国被捕后，全球范围内对该流行通讯服务的未来存在不确定性。加密领域也感受到了冲击波。

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.

几乎每个参与加密货币的人都使用 Telegram。每个项目、每种货币、每种媒体都有一个频道或聊天组。包括我们的博客。因此，Telegram 创始人兼首席执行官帕维尔·杜罗夫 (Pavel Durov) 的被捕几乎没有人不受影响。

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 创始人贾斯汀·孙 (Justin Sun) 是一位著名的加密货币亿万富翁，现在正在为杜罗夫挺身而出。他在 Twitter（现在的 X）上建议创建一个 DAO，一个去中心化的自治组织，以帮助 Telegram 创始人重获自由。如果社会各界有足够的支持，他将捐赠100万美元。

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，具体如何以及内容仍然开放。有人在 Twitter（现在是 X）上提醒贾斯汀·孙（Justin Sun），帕维尔·杜罗夫（Pavel Durov）本人很富有，但这是金钱无济于事的情况之一。理解为什么加密社区应该为帕维尔筹集资金确实很难理解。

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.

不过，有趣的是，DAO 可以将自己打造成为特定目的收集和管理资金的工具，而不必担心被负责人滥用。该模型已经过丝绸之路管理员罗斯·乌布利希和维基解密创始人朱利安·阿桑奇的测试。

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.

社区更直接地感受到杜罗夫的被捕是他们钱包里的事。与 Telegram 密切相关的 Toncoin（TON = 开放网络）从约 6 欧元暴跌至约 5 欧元，损失约 20%。然而，该代币在今年年初仍略低于两欧元，尽管有所下跌，但仍然是最强劲的加密货币之一，仍显着高于比特币。

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.

帕维尔·杜罗夫于周六乘坐私人飞机飞往法国后被捕。法国指责他没有采取果断行动打击 Telegram 上的贩毒、欺诈和虐待儿童行为。据称，他拒绝与法国执法部门合作，并参与恐怖主义、贩毒、击剑和洗钱活动。

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.

杜罗夫于 2006 年创立了俄罗斯平台 VKontakte（本质上是俄罗斯 Facebook），并于 2013 年创建了 Telegram。他与俄罗斯政府发生过多次不愉快的遭遇，例如他拒绝屏蔽反对派人物阿列克谢·纳瓦尔尼 (Alexey Navalny) 的 VKontakte 页面。目前，他居住在迪拜并在那里管理 Telegram。他目前与俄罗斯政府的关系仍不清楚。

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.

该聊天工具在全球拥有约 10 亿用户，是聊天组和频道的绝佳工具。它已经在加密货币领域牢固地确立了自己的地位，几乎每个公司和项目都有自己的团队——无论好坏。欺诈和市场操纵也经常通过 Telegram 群组进行。

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.

近年来，Telegram 也成为虚假信息的中心。有大量的 Telegram 群组参与了乌克兰战争中肇事者与受害者的逆转，或者痴迷于关注 COVID-19 话题。在俄罗斯在乌克兰发生大规模屠杀的过程中，该平台还服务于军事协调，而俄罗斯政府则毫不犹豫地与中央银行和前总统德米特里·梅德韦杰夫保持着联系。这表明政府已经与 Telegram 达成和解。

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.

对帕维尔·杜罗夫的镇压在全世界受到严厉批评。事实上，关闭 Telegram 可能会对言论自由产生不利影响，并严重扰乱许多无辜群体的沟通。与此同时，法国可能会获得打击虚假信息的强大杠杆，并严重损害俄罗斯的军事和政治沟通。今年最引人注目的逮捕行动将如何展开还有待观察。
