Signal and Telegram downloads skyrocket, Telegram added 25 million (!) new users in the last 3 days alone, wow 🔥
Signal und Telegram-Downloads gehen durch die Decke, Telegram hat alleine in den letzten drei Tagen 25 Millionen (!) neue User verzeichnet, wow 🔥

Signal und Telegram sind zwei alternative Instant Messengers, wobei Signal die vermutlich bessere Lösung ist, da sie defaultmäßig eine sichere End-to-End-Verschlüsselung einsetzt, aber eine nicht ganz so komfortable App anbietet wie Telegram.

Was sind die möglichen Gründe, für den unglaublichen Zuwachs an Usern:

### #1 Facebook möchte in Zukunft WhatsApp stärker in das Facebook-Ökosystem integrieren

und stellt den Usern ein Ultimatum, eine neue Privacy-Richtlinie zu akzeptieren.

### #2 Elon Musk hat daraufhin getweetet

https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1347165127036977153

### #3 Vielleicht liegt der starke Anstieg, aber auch an der jüngsten Zensur-Welle von Big-Tech

Eine Aktie, die Signal im Namen hat aber nichts mit Signal zu tun hat, ist dann um das 100-Fache gestiegen.

https://twitter.com/signalapp/status/1348760944088731648

### Telegram-Aussendung vom 12. Januar 2021:

>Telegram surpassed 500 (https://t.me/durov/147) million active users. 
> 
>In the past 72 hours alone, more than 25 million new users from around the world joined Telegram.

Stellt euch vor, Hive würde innerhalb von drei Tagen eine Million neue User bekommen.

## English

Signal and Telegram downloads are mooning, Telegram has recorded a 25 million (!) growth of new users in the last three days alone, wow 🔥

Signal and Telegram are two alternative instant messengers, with Signal probably being the better solution because it is using secure end-to-end encryption by default, but offering a less convenient app as Telegram.

What are the possible reasons for the incredible growth in users?

### #1 Facebook wants to integrate WhatsApp even more into its ecosystem in the future

and is giving users an ultimatum to accept a new privacy policy.

### #2 Elon Musk tweeted in response

https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1347165127036977153

### #3 But perhaps the sharp rise is also due to the recent wave of censorship from big tech

A stock that has Signal in its name but has nothing to do with Signal then soared 100-x.

### Telegram release, Jan. 12th, 2021:

>Telegram surpassed 500 (https://t.me/durov/147) million active users. 
> 
>In the past 72 hours alone, more than 25 million new users from around the world joined Telegram.

Imagine if Hive got a million new users in three days.

>Telegram-Downloads gehen durch die Decke
letzten drei Tagen 25 Millionen (!) neue User verzeichnet

und das obwohl russisch 😉

auf deine Frage:
>Stellt euch vor, Hive würde innerhalb von drei Tagen **zumindest** eine Million neue User bekommen.

Antworte ich mit einem Zitat von @dan:

***Alles sehr gute Beobachtungen. Stärke und Einigkeit der Gemeinschaft sind der Schlüssel. Die Technik ist fast zweitrangig.***

Also nur weiter mit neuen Projekten auf Hive!! 
Anstatt die bereits sehr gut etablierten ein Auslangen zu haben,
und mal mehr neue User (Menschen) zu fördern bzw. überhaupt mal zu hive zu bewegen.
Aber das fördern der (neuen) Projekte ist ja den Witnesses wichtiger, weil selber involviert.

Selbst bei den Power up Days sieht man ja wer da neue User unterstützt...
Siehe [Power Up Helpers](https://hive.blog/hivebuzz/@hivebuzz/pud-202101-feedback).
Ein einziger Wal und Witness (@blocktrades) ist unter denen!! 

Aber selbst jene, die eine Power up Hilfe bekommen haben
finden es nicht der Mühe Wert zumindest ein Danke als reply zu posten.

Wo wir wieder bei der Aussage von @ned sind:
**Stärke und Einigkeit der Gemeinschaft sind der Schlüssel.**

Das Grundprinzip: *Hilf den kleinen groß zu werden,
damit sie wiedrum das gleich tun.*
gilt schon sehr sehr lange nicht mehr, leider sehr schade....

lg 🤠

Be careful with your interpretation of the PUD results.
I'm not 100% sure that @blocktrades is actually participating in the challenge to get the PUH badge.
It may be a simple coincidence and that it is a simple Hive Power purchase carried out on blocktrades.us.<div class="pull-right"><a href="/@hive.engage">![](https://i.imgur.com/XsrNmcl.png)</a></div>
