Don't know, it feels like he was (maybe still is) quite good at marketing and found a good team back in the days, but now they are just another big company trying to make a western WeChat and becoming a monopoly.

I like the product, but I am a bit wary of the founder and their strategic course

I don't know what Telegram tries to become but given the existence of WhatsApp, it's certainly far off of becoming a monopoly in the foreseeable future.
