Rumors, Headlines, and “News from the Future” of Toncoin

On the financial markets, there's a saying: "Buy the rumor, sell the news." I feel for everyone who bought Toncoin recently on the back of all the buzz about new partnerships and the bright future of the Telegram ecosystem.

But wait - was that really just rumor? Can it still be called a rumor when it's making headlines across every major crypto media outlet? A screaming headline - is that rumor or news? Surely, it’s news!

The thing is, all this news is "from the future":

• Telegram is set to raise $1.5 billion through a bond sale (source).
• Pavel Durov says the messenger will soon get AI functionality (source).
• The final paperwork for the Telegram and xAI partnership is just a formality (source).

But none of this has actually happened yet: no money has been raised, no AI features have launched, no final deals have been signed.

Will any of it actually happen? Who knows - and who even cares?

It’s getting harder and harder to make sense of the news these days. More and more, the headlines are about things that haven’t happened - things that might happen. You make a note in your calendar to check back, and then… nothing.

So is it rumor or is it fact? It’s something in between: loud headlines that echo across the world, but still not real facts. In my opinion, basing financial decisions on these “news from the future” can only end one way: losses. Just like the buyers who paid $3.60 for TON.

Toncoin is an interesting project with real potential. But its true value will only become clear when we see real-world utility - not just announcements about what might be coming.

Meanwhile, with Toncoin’s price back down again, maybe now’s the perfect time to pick up a bit for the future? No rumors, just high potential and a low price! If you think so, come swap on rabbit.io - you can get TON in exchange for any of the thousands of supported cryptocurrencies.
