There is still a way out of this for Telegram though. I see a clear opportunity to build out Bitcoin and Lightning infrastructure and be a first mover here in messaging + payments. Cut TON out and build some real systems.

As it stands, I see a lot more promise from the likes of wallet of satoshi / getalby / breez integrating Nostr private messaging etc than I do from a half-baked Telegram "crypto" wallet that I cannot trust at all and that doesn't even work.
