Telegram is one social network that has a huge potential for growth today. It is a dominant platform for War reporting from both sides. And it is not compromised by history of censorship, and CIA connections, like other social networks.
We will probably see it growing in US, as we get closer to elections, and censorship tightens!

How much revenue do they need to generate for $250M investment? Paid version with extra features, $40M per year, and they will do fine.
