One step forward, two steps back. No need SIM, but you need even worse Blockchain account.
Telegram is not worth recommending to anyone until they require SIM (or some Blockchain nonsense) and all chats/calls/content is not E2EE by default, even Whatsapp is safer option, if you don't want some proper alternative like Matrix (Element, FlufflyChat), Briar, Session etc.
