A high-school student just made $20,000 from a Telegram Gift.
Jonathan He, an IOI gold medalist ranked #7 in the world, sold his Algorithm Cup — an NFT we gave to the top young coders this month — for 💎 15,000 Grams.
Happy for him. It's a meaningful sum for someone still in school, and I suspect a small fraction of what he'll go on to build.
20 years ago, $20K was enough for me to launch my first company. Within months, it had reached 1M users and raised $12M at a $60M valuation. 💸
I hope some of this year's winners put their Grams to similar use! 📈
