It's the platform that has huge potential to drive mass adoption of crypto currency. Messaging platform is a natural base for payment system, just look at wechat. Right now, most of bitcoin's liquidity comes from drugs – if you want to purchase anything, you have to go through it, or other, much less safe payment systems. However, the marketplaces move rapidly from darkweb to Telegram; and since buyers already heavily use it to connect to dealers and dealer's bots, it's an easy and natural progression to pay in the same app, too. Out of personal experience with above points, I have no doubt that Gram will be huge on day one.
