Personally, I always check the amount of member first before joining.
Telegram member is not always the best measurement, but it's worth to consider it.

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 started noticing that more and more people consider Telegram group size as one of the factors that show ICO visibility and the level of hype around it. It seems that it should attract people attention, lead to a successful ICO and strong uptrend performance on secondary market.
And for how long that is going to last, the day where icos begin to use that information is not that far away after all there are many campaigns that are already asking from the participants to join the telegram group and if that continues then soon enough that method is going to be as useless as many of the metrics that we use to try to get and idea if an ico is going to be successful.

I do not think the connection of the telegram with ico will be very accurate. telegram is a social media forum. it is not about success

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 that Telegram can be a measure of success in means of communication. Telegram is an effective way for the admins to be able to interact with the people participating in the bounty campaign. Also Telegram is an effective way to announce the progress of the project because admins can pin messages on their telegram group chat.

Telegram doesn't define the project's success but it is an effective communication tool.

I don’t think that telegram is new measure of ICO success, maybe the better term for it is just contribute to make easy business communication inside the group. Let’s say that telegram is just the tool for the upcoming ICO for their advertisements also but the most important thing to look at ICOs are white paper and their roadmaps. I think successful ICO is based on what are the things they can really do and offer to the people.

Telegram is just the way to communicate with members and keep them updated with latest news and offerings. It has nothing to do with ICO success.

Telegram is a good way to attract investors since this is easy to use and you can communicate with the managers right away. This is just like another social media platform that you can use to communicate and to advertise. It just that, you can just assign someone who can be around always to answer questions immediately.

And also, Telegram Channel could help other members and holders into keeping their altcoins instead of selling it out of panic so telegram is the best way to learn more from the channel and it is the source of almost everything related to the coin that you're holding.
That's why, I prefer checking telegram Channels than reading white papers, road maps, person's behind the projects and other factors.

Telegram is very easy to join and use. However, using telegram is not necessarily a measure of success. In fact, some potentially scam ICOs that do not even have public teams that show their faces might have tens of thousands of followers on Telegrams and Twitters. However, does it mean they are going to be successful. I mean they are probably scams and some are actually scams, so no, they won’t be successful. Now are they successful in terms of marketing and PR? Maybe.

Undoubtedly, the fact that the project has a very strong support in social networks, in particular a telegram, is excellent, but I believe that this is not the most important when choosing an ICO project. Even without this, many projects become successful.

I'd say telegram is a good indicator of the "popularity" of an ICO.
Popularity is definetly one of the key elements in the evaluation an ICO...
That said, it DOES NOT tell you if the ICO will go through to the end, or if it will truely be a success.
I wouldn't bet on this factor only, but I would definetly consider it.

I consider the social communities are a the strength of every company, organization and individuals because social media and social communities are the best place to check or critic what kind of character would be that person or a company.
So, Telegram Channel is the best way to consider if it's worth trusting or not.
Good ICOs and projects has always good and strong social communities like Telegram Channels and Twitter.

I think Yes, because there are too many people who are very concerned on finding better ICO or better signature and bounty campaigns is very hard and we're compelled to choose wisely because we only have a very limited forum accounts so we can get sure bounty stake tokens in the end of and ICO.
That's why in my own experiences, I rather join bounty campaigns if the Telegram Channel has too many active members because it means that the ICO or project itself is reliably promising.

Not necessarily but it can be one of the basis for getting the trust of the potential investors to invest during the stage of ICO.

I don't usually associate the success of an ico with the number of telegram or social media followers.  You will be causing a great disaster to yourself when you do that because of late, most members of social media platforms are bounty hunters who just want money. Yeah, they followed or joined the platforms for money and not for what the project seems to talk about.  Some don't read at all.
They are also the very people who dump the coin and let investors cry.  😢
Note: do well to read WP and if u are fully convinced, you invest in the project.
It is after reading and knowing their team and advisors that you opt to look for social media followers but that shouldn't be number 1 thing to do.
Thanks

I think telegram is just a software for the contact person, and it is not a standard for reference.
Because there are so many ICO projects that use robots to create fake telegram people numbers.

Yes, telegram is  just a  way  to measure the success of the  project. It also a  means  to reach out people behind the project for proper communication regarding ICO and of  course it is a tool  that could be used for inquiries.

It's not like that, sometimes it can be way to find ico is good or not.
I have been part of icos where they only 300 members but ico was successful and i have seen telegram group with 16000 members but still not successful. For measure ico success going through team and their activity on social networing.

Telegram investor pool has collected more than 80,000 euros, it is worth thinking about joining - http://antares.capital/ru/referral/2f616e75

I agree with you. Telegram now is a necessary tool in order for us to reach out the dev teams for any concern regarding the project. And this also measures how much people supports the project. It helps us to assess whether a certain project is worth to invest or not.
