At first, I couldn't understand this Telegram number. It was trading on @ton_blockchain's NFT platform @getgemsdotio. Each one was over $2,000, incredibly expensive, yet surprisingly, the trading volume was quite high. The product description read: "Anonymous number that can be used to create a Telegram account not tied to a SIM card." Then I asked a friend in the group, and Nan Guo said it was initially very cheap, just 9 tons, and had a special purpose, equivalent to a permanent VIP membership. The VIP membership fee is about a few dozen dollars a year. There are three other advantages: ① It can't be stolen ② It's almost impossible to lose your number ③ It's a symbol of anonymity and status (especially for a premium number).
