fly private is because I somehow extract money from Telegram.

#482 โ€“ Pavel Durov: Telegram, Freedom, Censorship, Money, Power & Human Nature

Like I said, Telegram is a money losing operation for me personally.

Bitcoin is something that allowed me to stay afloat.

#482 โ€“ Pavel Durov: Telegram, Freedom, Censorship, Money, Power & Human Nature

And I believe it will come to a point when Bitcoin is worth $1 million.

Just look at the trends.

The governments keep printing money like no tomorrow.

Nobody's printing Bitcoin.

Not this exact dilemma.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#482 โ€“ Pavel Durov: Telegram, Freedom, Censorship, Money, Power & Human Nature

I think this is a riddle that people have to face in Russian prisons.

And metaphorically,

Lex Fridman Podcast
#482 โ€“ Pavel Durov: Telegram, Freedom, Censorship, Money, Power & Human Nature

It's describing all the situations where you presented a choice between two suboptimal options.

#482 โ€“ Pavel Durov: Telegram, Freedom, Censorship, Money, Power & Human Nature

You sometimes face this dilemma.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#482 โ€“ Pavel Durov: Telegram, Freedom, Censorship, Money, Power & Human Nature

Lex Fridman Podcast
#482 โ€“ Pavel Durov: Telegram, Freedom, Censorship, Money, Power & Human Nature
