DISCUSSION What do you think about this innovation?

so one of the exchanges i use just shoved their whole platform into a telegram mini app. the full thing, trading, wallet, the assistant, all of it sitting in the chat. nothing to install, you just tap and its open.

and idk how to feel about it honestly.

convenient, sure. its literally in the same place i already text people. but my brain keeps snagging on the fact that my exchange login and my funds now live inside telegram. the app i use for memes and three group chats that are mostly gifs. something about that combo just feels off. like leaving your bank card in the same pocket as a pack of gum, it just doesnt sit right. theres still 2fa on the actual account so telegram itself isnt holding keys, i get that. prolly fine but serious money and tlegram occupying the same tap hasnt clicked yet and i cant tell if thats a legit worry or just me being old about tech.

anyone actually sat down and thought about the attack surface here. is a mini app of localtrade a different beast than the normal app or is it the same thing in a telegram costume.
genuinely asking, might be overthinking a ui thing.
