The legendary 18 Gifts → Porsche swap is done

When I first mentioned the idea back in August, many thought it was a joke. Today it’s reality.

At the start, the collection’s original cost was just 3,880 Telegram Stars (~$57). Today, it turned into a $350,000 car 🚘

This is the real evidence of Telegram gifts value. I’ve believed in them since day one — and I’m not stopping here 🎁

I’ve already topped up 100,000 TON on @Portals in a single transaction, getting ready for a MAJOR buying spree 💰

💖 $300K in Telegram Gifts: Miss Me Already?

In my post about trading gifts for a Porsche, I said I wouldn’t stop — because I like that race 🚗

As you might have guessed, my favorite gifts are 🎁 Durov’s Cap and 🎁 Plush Pepe. But I’m open for more.

Recently, I started building a new major collection (check out @borz) of the rarest Heart Locket Turtles and Plush Pepes. I’ve already bought gifts worth of $300,000, because I like the utility Telegram is building around them.

By the way, all my purchases are on @Portals — nothing beats the speed and convenience.

Gifts have infinite potential 🤠

Mt adventures in Ireland 🇮🇪

@lead and I were traveling around Britain. Yesterday morning in Holyhead, Wales, we picked our next stop — Ireland.

To decide how to get there, we flipped a coin: heads, the ferry; tails, the plane.
Heads it was, so we went for a four-hour ride across the sea 🛳️

About five minutes before arrival we started talking about Ireland and Northern Ireland, and right before passport control we suddenly realized Ireland isn’t part of the Schengen Zone or the UK, which means you actually need a visa to get in 🚪

They let me through — I usually don’t even check visa rules, my passport works almost everywhere — but Max wasn’t so lucky. He got a “Permission to Land Refused” paper and a free ticket back to Wales.

So I explored Ireland alone (you can see more stories from here on my main account — @borz) while Max headed back to the UK.
Someone, please, send him a “Champion of Border Control” gift 🏆

⛵️ Ahoy, OpenSea! Welcome aboard

There's a new legend sailing the Telegram seas. Love seeing that ✅ blue check shine — welcome to the deep waters of Telegram!

🤝 Here's to smooth sailing, epic trades, and charting new territories. Captain @officialopensea, ready to set sail together?

✈️ 15 countries in one month!

October turned out to be incredible — I managed to visit 15 countries, half of them for the very first time.

The scenery changed every two days, and each place had something unique: new people, new languages, new cultures.

I practiced English in the UK, French in Belgium and France, German in Germany, and even Arabic with almost every other taxi driver 🚕

Of course, there were some tough moments when constant travel became exhausting, but the positive ones far outweighed them — they kept me going.

When you travel, your mind starts working differently: you feel inspired, motivated, and new ideas suddenly come to you — even work decisions seem to appear out of nowhere.

Along the way, I met many amazing people and partners — and that’s what inspired me the most: one day you’re having coffee with someone in London, and the next you’re staring at the stunning beauty of Normandy.

The 15th country was Norway. Its landscapes are unlike anything else, though the climate there was a whole different story compared to the beginning of my journey 🥶
