People from Texochat are in a really sticky situation right now: on the one hand, they are facing the dominant powers of Facebook, Twitter and a bunch of other platforms, beating which is close to being impossible. But on the other hand, we all know the story of Slack, Pinterest, Reddit that did their own thing successfully. Of course, they are conceptually different from Texochat, but my point still stands.

I can see that plenty of people are skeptical about Texochat because of its supposed competition with the tech giants. But they all should remember a tale about David and Goliath, where a small and seemingly weak man defeated a giant. The same could happen to Texochat, just look at the success of Slack. Sure, Texochat won't have a global reach of big corporations, but it can easily form a sizable pool of loyal users. Therefore, Texochat should be afforded a chance to enter the market.

Forgive my skepticism, but I don't see how Texochat would be able to compete with the industry behemoths like Telegram and Facebook. But I do know the advantage that these two have over this emerging project, and it is the already existing massive pool of active users, who will migrate to the corporations' new crypto solution in an instant. I don't see how Texochat would be able to overcome this factor. Sure, they can make all efforts to gather as many users as possible before the official launch of the mentioned competitors, but I highly doubt that it would ever be enough.

I reckon that Texochat couldn't have chosen the worst time for the launch of their crypto-powered chat. 2019/2020 would be the period when social media and messaging powerhouses, Facebook and Telegram, introduce their respective cryptocurrencies - Libra and GRAM - which should send the small-time competitors, Texochat, for instance, into oblivion. Besides, Facebook wants to have a pilot launch of Libra in India, and Texochat evidently has been designated for the same market.

The project has a lot of potential, and if they manage to do what they wish to do, their app might be good enough to exceed Discord and Telegram. However, creating the ultimate chat app is still quite a challenge, and the project's competition consists of well-known apps that are being used worldwide, and that have been dominating the field for years. However, the vision still seems solid, and the project has a good team, and a good, working product.
