Before Telegram use to play a great influence in the success of some projects but not bots is talking over some of this channel and the numbers to me don't play the big role in investment decision for me again.

It certainly seems to be a factor, at least in the short term. For the long term I think maybe not so much.

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?

   The key to a successful ICO is multi-factorial and a telegram group or channel is a crucial part of the equation. Having a huge telegram presence is very important as well as a significant determinant on how well a project campaign is progressing. In my opinion, it is a great contributor to the success of an ICO.

This is actually becoming disgusting day by day.

we are seeing ICO gurus talking about how big the telegram groups are of new ICOs, however, most of the participants there are from telegram bounty pool.
People must do their research before investing in ICOs, they must check about the implementation of project in real world, the team behind it, there advisory board, there whitepaper and roadmap and not just from the telegram strength.


In any case, gathering a lot of people for whatever reason at least shows that you have managed to build hype around your project. So although the number of people on telegram is not the most important indicator, it is something.

It's certainly a metric that can point towards success, but there are several common denominators for success, and success can mean many different things itself (are you talking about ICOs that raise millions or ICOs that are able to keep to their development roadmap and push out great projects?).

I look at some wonderful projects I'm in and there is not even 1,000 people in their Telegram group. But the few in there are so active, and it just pays to listen in. Others had thousands, and was filled with people asking stupid questions that if you spent just 5 mins you would find answers on website.

Why do you think I've just stopped Telegram?

Well, a big group on Telegram can be an indicator of success, but also an evidence of scam mentality: you can easily bu fake members in the same way you can buy "likes" on facebook.

So, before to take any decision, much better to analyze deeply the proposal and the solidity of the business that lies behind, without give too much attention to its promotional aspects.

Correct me if i were wrong,telegram participants are being measured by the ICOhotlist,so if an ICO has more participants in their telegram groups they will be listed to the ICOhotlist which is one of the big ICO review websites,this is to qualify if the ICO has enough participants,because more participants it means the project has higher chance of success.

Telegram is the most used  chat platform by crypto fans, and especially by the devs and the investors of ICo projects. a good reponsive Telegram channel is always required to see if the project is active, having some potential or not. almost you can't find any successful ICo project without having a successful channel(s) in Telegram.

You can judge an ICO from its telegram channel because it's the best place where team can interact with investors and supporters. Most of good ICO are having a locked channel for announcements, bounty channel and another channel where team interact with investors.

And evidence of these Telegram tactics is an indicator that the ICO may have some actual marketing strategy behind it.

It's a builder of credibility for sure. Polymath was a great project that caught a lot of wind. I wouldn't be surprised if their group grew to the 75k limit. I think the ones that grow that much are the good projects. https://t.me/polymathnetwork

I don't think it has any effect on ICO. I saw too many Telegram groups for projects that have thousands of people. Usually you don't even find a quality discussion. I think Telegram groups are waste of time and definitely not a good indicator about the project. You can collect 100k users in Telegram group for a scam project.

I think in case of Telegram f.ck to advisory board and roadmap and something else. Smiley
All that attributes need only for 'NONAME' ICO without real product ...

Now, indeed, many believe that the number of people in the telegram is an indicator of success. But what is it worth to the team to hold a airdrop - free distribution of tokens for joining a group of telegrams.

Social media website has a lot of impact to an ICO because if there are many people joining the telegram discussions it only means that people are interested in the project,plus the ICOs needs a lot of participants in their telegram group to be able to get listed in ICOhotlist,that is why there are telegram bounty campaigns.

That's a very interesting remark. In fact, the success of any crypto project - be it a coin or an ICO - is directly proportional to the quantity of people who are getting involved. It is the size and quality of the community which determines the value of the relative coin, the first part of this statement is directly stated as according Metcalfe's law on how to calculate the value of a network. So Telegram groups can really give us a glimps on the size of a community and this the success of an ICO - if it is the group of an ICO.

Be careful. A lot of Telegram ICO groups do airdrops to people who join to make the community look bigger. A lot of big groups that are silent should be a red flag.

I think it is only a good sign, but that is it. I would never consider investing into an ICO just because of the amount of followers on a social media platform. Please remember that bounty programs do have the liking / joining their social media.
