On the latest wave of Telegram blocking, I realized that for founders, bans are not a reason to panic, but a reason to rejoice. Yes, I will exaggerate a bit in this message, but I think the general idea will be presented better this way.

Let's start with the basics - a businessman seeks stability, he manages processes in an existing model, and for him, changing the base is more stress, which is better to avoid. A startup founder works in conditions of uncertainty; a business model that would show good results does not yet exist. Every stage when external factors break the current system is a chance. And the stronger these changes, the greater the chance. This works because businesses are run by businessmen, and they are not as good at dealing with changes, so when something global happens, many go bankrupt. In this situation, the pain and problems they solved for consumers are no longer solved by anyone - it's the perfect time to offer them something new, as they are all looking for someone to give their money to solve the problem.

That is, if you are truly a startup founder at heart, now is the time when million-strong blogs may be reset once again, meaning millions of people will go looking for somewhere to get hooked - isn't that a chance for young authors and startups who aimed to attract clients from Telegram?

p.s. I haven't registered anywhere or moved anything yet; for me, the channel is still not a business or a startup.
