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?

In my own opinion, telegram is just a way for an ico to build community but still it the success of an ico will be still depending on the investors if most of them will hold the coin in order for the platform to be success.

This is what I am saying that even crypto currencies were being banned by google and facebook real project that promoting about cryptos will always have their own way to promote it without the presence of google. Telegram is what I always using to judge the reality of the project and i am not convinced the well-present whitepaper without the support of telegram for whitepaper is just a whitepaper if there is no real hard working team behind to fulfill it.

I think that success, because in a short time it has gained great popularity, it is used in different countries, almost all business people sit in it, it also contains many groups for receiving money

Telegram is ery active now a days, it is one waybto connect people, investors, and traders to ICO. One of the best form of social media now a days cause there you can share links unlike facebook blocks links. So telegram is a great help for online investors specially ICO.

Well, we cant really assume on that way. Some bounty managers make an allocated bounty campaign for telegram users by just inviting other users. Some of it really didnt join on that telegram group, they just been automatically join by the other users. To assume that the coin you are participating to is good, you must verify it to their whitepaper and to many ICO listings rates.

Professional cryptocurrency writer incl DNotes.

Maybe it is being used that way, but I don't think it is a valid measure. I've had to join a few Telegram channels to participate in Airdrops. Once joined, I never look at them. And I knew nothing about the tokens before joining their channel, and probably won't learn anything about them before playing with the tokens, if they ever come.

So full channels on Telegram are probably a great indicator of how much it is being used to give stuff away. And there is no reason to connect that to the likelihood of the project succeeding.

But Telegram is also a really well designed service that handles large numbers flawlessly. There's a thread that I've posted to about why ICOs use Telegram here:

It is a good indication as it shows the ICO has a lot of followers and a nice community behind it, but it shouldn't be the sole reason for an investment, it is certainly a positive though. Grin

If the project is really successful, then it will be actively discussed in social networks, and since Telegram is one of the most popular instant messengers among crypto enthusiasts, I think that you are absolutely right.

One thing we look in checking the ico is their telegram community but unfortunately this is just use by some to deceive the investors as the people are just fake like they're just there because of the airdrop program but not an investor. I think we should look in other way to check how legit their ico and just always believe in our guts.

I think Telegram is one more social media platform to connect with investors and other traders as a way of communication. It is used in many countries of the world, and in some of them as in mine is completely unknown. In Telegram, the members of the team will update about the project they are joining.

I don't think this telegram can play an important role in crypto development. It's just a social media resource. If there is no telegram, it will certainly be replaced.

Yupsss, telegram is one of a measurement of ICO successful, but this is not the only one, telegram is use as a media of telecommunication between the investor, support participants, and the ICO management, but I think the amount of telegram member couldn't be used as a barometer will be successful or not, the barometer is how active the official group member to talk about the future and the plan of the ICO, because there also many members in the group that joined only as to complete The rule to get a rewards ( bounties participants), investor conversation in the group is one of many measurement that could be used as a barometer how will the ICO success or not in the future

In a way we could measure the potential success of an ICO through this but the problem I find with this is some telegram members are added to these groups without their consent which in a way could be seen as breach of privacy and give the ICO a fake image to help market it, hope the telegram devs work on this and maybe send out invitations which you can accept or decline as a fix to this.

Telegram is the some way to see and understand the flow/operation of ICO, you can check the status and success by asking the moderators/ICO managers so that if we have objections/questions of their project

Not necessarily. In many countries telegram is an unknown word.

The support of society is really important, and many investors pay attention to this, analyzing how active are the pages in social networks and in the group of telegram. But this is not the main factor, only a combination of factors should be taken into account when choosing a project for investment.

I don't think it is , i use it to follow some coins. It seems very easy to randomly add people , and most people aren't leaving. And there are probably some other ways to artificially increase the amount of users they have. I'd say Whitepaper,roadmap and team still go before telegram activity.

I think so. When a lot of people in the telegram, it already speaks about the popularity of the project. And this of course gives more priority to this project. It is rare that there are many people in the telegram in the group. Usually only a few thousand.

I often participate in telegrams of ICO projects to see people evaluate the project. and the good questions of investors when asked about the project, the answers of the administrator. That's what I care about.

Yes, that's one of the reasons for the success of ICO today, so they are looking for these users. Even if they did not join the ICO's signature bounty, they were still Airdropping, so they will took part in the ICO.
