RE: Telegram: a new era of messaging
I would not recommend to use Telegram for truly secure communications. It uses your phone number for authentication. That can not be safe.

We are not fund terrorism or sell drugs in Telegram, we just communicate here, i do not see any problems. I hold BTC in telegram bots, use 2fa and cloud password, and don't worry about this.
you can use the BBM , it is the best messenger app

That's partly true. Telegram uses phone number for registration. You can set up additional authentication factors as I adviced in my article. Set up a password for example and your security rises dramatically.
That doesn't stops bad guys to send messages on your behalf.
You have to nock'em out first to stop'em
Agreed. Better use a messenger like Threema, which doesn't require you to provide a phone number. Also, Telegram's encryption is considered questionable among experts.
It is cross platform? Can I exchange BTC to RUB or USD there?
