Telegram's Message Limit: Old Messages Gone Forever
Telegram's main web page boasts that the service has «no limits» on the size of chats. However, with careful testing, we can find this statement false — that after a given number of messages (around 1 million), Telegram will stop serving you your own messages. This limitation is found both in channels/supergroups as well as private messages as a whole.
Those encountering this problem in the wild are ostensibly active telegram users and group chats — communities and people most dependent on this messenger. Take for example a popular bots developer who "mistakenly" set his bots to send logs as private messages and thereby lost a lot of messages from important private chats: www.tg-me.com/LyBlog/617 (in Russian).
Ultimately this leads to hacks and workarounds — active telegram users must keep in mind this limit and create separate channels for their doge memes, music, bot logs, etc. For many large telegram communities with thousands of users in supergroups this also presents a problem of continuity that is unavoidable: old messages simply perish and important history is irrecoverable.

In general, many financial experts support their clients’ desire to buy cryptocurrency, but they don’t recommend it unless clients express interest. “The biggest concern for us is if someone wants to invest in crypto and the investment they choose doesn’t do well, and then all of a sudden they can’t send their kids to college,” says Ian Harvey, a certified financial planner (CFP) in New York City. “Then it wasn’t worth the risk.” The speculative nature of cryptocurrency leads some planners to recommend it for clients’ “side” investments. “Some call it a Vegas account,” says Scott Hammel, a CFP in Dallas. “Let’s keep this away from our real long-term perspective, make sure it doesn’t become too large a portion of your portfolio.” In a very real sense, Bitcoin is like a single stock, and advisors wouldn’t recommend putting a sizable part of your portfolio into any one company. At most, planners suggest putting no more than 1% to 10% into Bitcoin if you’re passionate about it. “If it was one stock, you would never allocate any significant portion of your portfolio to it,” Hammel says.
How to Invest in Bitcoin?
Like a stock, you can buy and hold Bitcoin as an investment. You can even now do so in special retirement accounts called Bitcoin IRAs. No matter where you choose to hold your Bitcoin, people’s philosophies on how to invest it vary: Some buy and hold long term, some buy and aim to sell after a price rally, and others bet on its price decreasing. Bitcoin’s price over time has experienced big price swings, going as low as $5,165 and as high as $28,990 in 2020 alone. “I think in some places, people might be using Bitcoin to pay for things, but the truth is that it’s an asset that looks like it’s going to be increasing in value relatively quickly for some time,” Marquez says. “So why would you sell something that’s going to be worth so much more next year than it is today? The majority of people that hold it are long-term investors.”
