The number of people in a telegram community is not a measure of an ICO success why because bounties are run for bounty hunters to invite or add their friends to a telegram channel to earn rewards. The number people in the telegram channel does not mean they have invested in the project.
I think it can affect, as long as the telegram group is active and always update about token development. And now if you want to assess the success of a new token project, one of them is by looking at the activity in their telegram group. 
Topic: Is Telegram the new measure of ICO success? - page 25. (Read 5489 times)
telegram is one of the community, activity community is an important factor to be a successful ico, but i will also see the number of slack and twitter ,they are also important to judge the community.
Rapid fundraising was facilitated by a number of factors, such as the existing level of the product, its popularity and those plans that were voiced, influenced by the availability of a ready-made global platform already used by millions of users. Until now, there have been no similar projects on the ICO ...
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 don't agree. Telegram is no valid measure in determining the success of an ICO. I have seen a lot of overcrowded Telegram channels of ICOs and they have not even reached half of their hardcaps. I have also joined Telegrams with tens of thousands of members but there are no discussions whatsoever about the project, product, and other technicalities. And worse, I believe there are paid Telegram groups.
Such a rapid promotion in telegrams is happening thanks to hype around him. Now talking about it everywhere, and everyone who didn't know about it already downloads it to your phone. It's like bitcoin, early on few knew, but now every 2 at least heard about it.
Not necessarily so. But there are lessons which can be taken from Telegram's ICO success, something I believe will be very important for future ICOs - Proof-of-Product/Service. The fact that telegram already had an existing product made it easier for investor to trust them and back them further. Thus, there weren't any concerns of scams, that they would disappear with the funds. I know it's not easy for start-ups or fresh ideas to reach telegrams level, after all then what will be the point of doing an ICO for some. The main lesson here is for start-ups to build some sort of verifiable track record of a product or prototype that would make investors believe more in the project and back it.
it is certainly not! if you decide to make an airdrop, and some big groups announce it, your group will have more than 50k members in some hours or days, which dont even know what the ico is about.
I think the telegram member count can tell you how effective their marketing is, if there are less than 5k members it typically means that either the people are not interested but more often it is just weak marketing and community management.
On the flipside, a high number of telegram users does not need you can just go in and the project will fly. You never know how they got to the amount of users...did they grow organically (great) or was there an airdrop and you had to join the telegram to get free coins (not so good) or they might have just purchased fake telegram members on some site (worst case scenario)

Exactly. But I think it can still be helpfull to scroll through the Telegram feed and watch the nature of the conversation. If there are a lot of questions from investors and if there answered properly and swiftly. If there is a good discussion I think you can more or less make a picture of the amount of serious investors vs bounty hunters/airdrop members..
I would not say that . This is really easy to manipulate telegram, specially by bounties programs. the measurement should be more organic, cross checked with other social media.
That's true, not a reliable way but if the members are verified and active, maybe. What is important here is a vibrant community and telegram is one of it. There is also discord,and facebook groups. As long as there is a huge number of persons supporting a project, it will succeed,
It is sad that bounty campaigns have now moved to Telegram and I can no longer use telegram activity as a predictive feature when analyzing new coins. At least we still have our other indicators.. or do we?

Maybe It was earlier... But I don't think it so now. Some projects have 78K members on the telegram group but there is no big success on the project. Only one Airdrop event enough to boost member count to 20,000. that how it working today. Some projects have only around 2000 members. but project moving forward very well. In my experience, I think project success depends on the team. If project moving forward very successfully enough investors will be there. there will not be dummy members on the group.
It can be a nice indicator, but that's all it is.
I am sure you can pay for users and also thy could only be bounty hunters. I think whats more important is if the telegram chat is buzzing ad vibrant.

I believe that Telegram is a tool that allows investors to communicate with developers without intermediaries. Telegram allows you to quickly get the necessary information about the project and more. But despite all the advantages, Telegram cannot guarantee the success of ICO. Therefore, it should be used only as a source of additional information.

The livability of the project team in the telegram forum will be its own assessment, in the sense that trust will arise if the team moves to fight for the success of a project. With the rise of groups exceeding Telegram's 50k member cap...what do you guys think?

It's one of the many measures but I think there are better measures to keep track of when talking about ICO success.
Large chats in telegram are often bots or threaded users. Therefore, I do not pay attention to the number of participants. I'm more looking for team responses to questions from participants and updates on the project. It is also important to pay attention to other social networks - Twitter, FB, Medium.
Telegram is just a mass communication of the project to keep the investors in touch with the Admins. So if there's no Telegram on an ICO it's really difficult to contact each individuals and I'm not really promoting the telegram but it is just great and secure app
