ICO is evil
I noticed that Telegram has been quite popular among traders which is why some ICO development teams decided to join this app as a platform for discussions and anouncments that refer to the project itself. I'd say that an easy way to follow up an ICO project so I am glad they use Telegram.

I am fully agreed with you. Social media and viewing that the team is working hard on their project are the things that really important, and most of all, promising.

Usually people are paid with coins, so that they join the group, so I do not pay attention to it at all. The main indicator is a good marks on icobench.

I do not think telegram can be easily manipulated as in other social media, telegram is just a means to get information, not as a measure of ICO success.

Telegram is the very best way to communicate the team of the project,  where you can ask questions there. You can ask for help or to give solutions on your problem,  but not all telegram is applicable for asking questions about bounty.  So telegram is a way to communicate only.

I would probably say that telegram community numbers has a part on the success of ICO but most of the telegram group which has big number of community is due to bounties and airdrop. They require each participant to join the group as prerequisite for the airdrop campaign and likewise with bounty campaigns.

Its so nice to join in the Telegram because you will know the updated happening on the project you have joined and this is the way where you can interact or communicate with the admin of the project.

Been seeing projects' Telegram groups blow up and I think that's an attribute of success. Personally, when I find a project, I do judge them by their social media presence. How active a telegram channel does say a lot with their demand.

With the rise of groups exceeding Telegram's 50k member cap...what do you guys think?

I think it measures the efficiency of the ICO the most, the telegram of an ICO is one of but many form of social media platforms that can affect its success and its success would not primarily rely on it but still it is a very efficient platform of keeping everyone who participated in that ICO updated.

besides reviewing the project from token sale I also judged a project from the number of telegram members, if the telegram member reached +20k the possibility of the project including success because many participants, but the member is not from join from airdrop

No, telegram cannot use to be the measurement for a successful ICO or not. The thing that could be a measurement is the funds that already raised and the project it self.

In my view, Telegram is indeed a reference standard, but most of the time I only care about ICO project discussions on telegram and this ICO review website requires that the new ICO have more participants in the telegram so they can include ICO, this is measured by the participants in a telegram so that the new ICO will be listed or displayed.

Actually not, telegram is one of the way to find legitimate users and not multi account, in this way the ico's can find more people to join their bounty campaigns with a legit participants.

Well, it seems you can buy fake telegram members and I already visited groups with 50+ participants and only few posts were made, so I was sure most of them were fake. And if a project uses these kind a tricks it's probably just a money grab

I saw a lot of projects with more than 30k members in there but they can not even reach the softcap, that is the reason of why a lot of people stopped looking and taking the telegram members as reference, since most of them are inflated with fake bots

To date, only EOS and Telegram have achieved this impressive success. ICOs that can attract more than $ 1 billion are unique projects.

I dont think so. Telegram user numbers are sometimes bot heavy but the main reason i think this is not a great measure is because of the volume of bounty hunters. A telegram group can be 8000K one day then blow to 50K on an airdrop announcement. The bounty hunters rarely buy in at ico so a large group crypto can still 1. not sell big at ico 2. not be supported at exchanges 3. drop like a stone once bounty hunters cash in (because they don't hold like an investor)

I would say that nowadays having Telegram for an ICO project is like a standard but I find it useful as a tool for monitoring the project's success and identifying whether it attracts a lot of participants.

The success of Telegram fees depends directly on the fact that Pavel Durov is today a very famous person, who in turn is the head of this project, it turns out that people just trusted their investments to this guy.

I think it is a pointer to chances the ICO will be successful but it is only one element of the overall picture.
Some of the Telegram groups are bloated with bots and dead accounts there may be 50000 members in there but only 50 or 100 people actually communicating....  Huh

The reason why there are these huge groups with (almost) nothing happening is that you can now also buy telegram members. And apparently some projects felt the need to do so. I am not sure if there are tools where you can test how many real vs fake members...
