I want to trade cryptocurrency on Telegram in mainland China without getting caught by the police 👮‍♂️, what should I do?

I'm worried about you getting into trouble, let's talk about it clearly.

First, a basic common sense:

The chats in Telegram are not encrypted by default and are not secure.

How to verify?

You first use a VPN to go out, then use Telegram to call your good brother who is also in mainland China, and after connecting with him via voice, you turn off your VPN.

Surprisingly, your voice will not only not be cut off, but it will become smoother!

Why is this happening?

It's simple. If you register a Telegram account with a +86 phone number, then your data is by default stored in China. If you don't use a special encrypted tunnel, the data flow between you and other mainland Telegram users will directly go through the networks of mainland operators.

Have you ever thought of a bizarre question?

Telegram has 900 million monthly active users, and its servers provide unlimited file storage for users, with individual file sizes of up to 2GB.

All of this has been free for so many years.

Previously, several cloud storage services in China, such as Netease Cloud, Huawei Cloud, Kingsoft Fast Disk, Sina Weibo Disk, and 360 Cloud Disk, have been successively shut down because the cost of servers and CDNs was too high, and there were too many freeloaders, so the services could not make a profit and were forced to close.

Of course, there is no such thing as a free lunch.

CZ previously said that Binance spends $10 million a year just on sending text messages.

Telegram needs to invest at least $10 billion a year in server and CDN expenses. Who is bearing these costs?

If the wool is not taken from the sheep 🐑, then it must be taken from the wolf 🐺 that wants to eat the sheep.

You need to know whether your chat records are stored on Chinese Telegram servers or overseas Telegram servers because the public security can easily access data on Chinese Telegram servers, just like accessing data on WeChat servers.

In September 2023, Telegram and Tencent started a cooperation, but many people did not pay attention to this news at the time.

Each Telegram account will be associated with a server cluster when registered, and it will not change with the user's change of phone number or geographical location. Users cannot freely choose servers—if connected to the wrong server cluster, the server will return an error message, requiring the client to connect to the correct server cluster associated with the account.

In plain language:

If you register a Telegram account with a +86 phone number, then your data is stored in China, and it doesn't matter where you change your Telegram phone number to later.

Users with different phone numbers will be assigned to different server clusters. A few years ago, a technical expert located the server clusters to which Telegram users belong. I have posted the method for locating the server clusters below, so everyone can take a look.
