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 read the article and this is getting even more out of hand than I thought, no only we have icos now we have a pre-sale and whitelists, what is next pre-pre-sales? This is why scammers get away with their scams since people are willing to throw their money to projects that have nothing but hype around them, yes we all like the idea of making money but we need to be more careful as well.

2023 would most likely be as bearish as 2022

yes as per my view. most investors now see the telegram users. if above 50k then the hype rate is very high so the ROI can be double definitely. you can see arkblock and refereum and gonetwork has massive crowd.

Telegram is pulling ICO investors like never before! Some ICO are very popular on Telegram and as a result are able to get more funds into their ICO! Telegram group is seriously becoming a force and the power of instant messaging platform is once more been practically shown!

It is possible that by telegram potential investors can wonder about ICO and the project parties that do ICO will respond with telegram and make the ICO successful. For example, DIWtoken Channel Telegram is always active so investors can get the latest information about DIWtoken.

Telegram is such a great way to find an initial trustness in nthe prject you want to be involved, then you can see the whitepaper and other social media following like Facebook, Twitter, etc

But for first you have to see the trustable reputation of members behind a project, like on Linkedin that assure the fairness of the past jobs like

In 2018 we will see a lot of interest in new Telegram mega group on over 50k users,, you think

It was until marketers figured out that many people were using it. Now you can still take a look at the telegram groups for sure, but check if the member are paid to join as it happens many times now.
yeah, there are telegram bounties just to join the channel and will get a free coin later on. Having a lot of members in a channel of a specific ICO is good but be careful and make sure most of it are interested because of the project itself not by bounties only.

When I document myself on a project, I also check its community - I don`t look at the numbers anymore , I just spend some time reading the comments. Because I know there is an established practice to pay members and as long as the project offers people incentives to join the telegram group, the number becomes irrelevant.

It could be greatest ICO but:
'...ICO or not ICO. that is the question.' Smiley

May be it will be better for Telegram to be listed on real stocks market? (IPO)
Like Amazon, Twitter or Snapchat.

For me, in the evaluation of the ICO, the activity in the telegram of the project channel is very important. The telegram channel should have adequate questions, and managers should quickly answer questions and solve emerging issues.

Telegram numbers of members doesn't justify the success of ICO. I've seen a lot of ICO that has only few members but successfully achieved its  hardcap like adbank who only have more than 5k members. It still depends on the marketing strategy that they are doing.

Telegram is popular with ICOs because it helps administrators deliver content to a target group within seconds. And all the group members are guaranteed to receive the information. telegram does't need peoples' reposts like twitter or fb to spread the information.

My only question is: why Telegram? Why did it become the de facto main platform for ICOs? Why not discord for example?

It is obvious, telegram asks for a unique telephone number, so the number of fake users is limited. Yes, you can probably have 2 numbers, but you can't create them out of the air, so most users are real, as opposed to facebook twitter and other media.

I think its a plus for sure as it shows a big strong community, but I wouldn't invest solely on the amount of people in their telegram. Remember bounty campaigns usually include a section for joining their telegram.

But if an ICO has 1,000s of users on their telegram before the launch of their pre-sale, I am a little impressive with their marketing and community building.

Telegram is a way of communication, telegram is used in many countries of the world, and some such as in a mine is completely unknown.
This is a social media platform if you run it on your phone, your opinion about crypto and ICO, this is another promotion way like twitter and facebook.

I think Telegram can not serve as a measure of the success of a project being developed by the ICO because Telegram is just one of the social media platforms that connects everyone around the world in order to promote a project being developed by the ICO. as many other social media platforms of course will be used for a promotional tool about developing a project like some other social media platform that is facebook tweeter and surely there will be more to promote a project. and from some of the social media I mentioned that is to promote a project of taste will not be able to guarantee the success of a project without a great team playing a role in the project.
But the presence of a good team does not guarantee success of a project. I believe that success depends on their idea and belief of investors in their implementation and existence of a project in the future. This is measured by HYIP around a project. Telegram groups help to measure this level of HYIP and check whether it is artificial or not.

It seems yes, it is one of the most important standard these days to justify whether a project is hot or not.

It could be too, because from here you can know how the dev, investors and interested investors is active. That is why you can easily know of the project is a scam or not.

Every time I join in ICO I'm always updated in the telegram because this is my way to know more about the future of the coin, the telegram will really help us because we can ask dev about our concern and they answer us.

Hmm Based on what I see telegram right now are really helpful to communicate with the project Developer its also attract more investor if they see a number of member that joining in that channel but it cannot measure if the ico project will became successful because its only a social media platform to communicate with each other.
Take note some ico bounty campaign required to joined in their telegram group but even theres alot of member in telegram no one can assure if the project can be success.

I believe that you are right. The success of the ico is dependent on people's interest in the project, and of course if it will be of interest to them it will manifest in their activity in social networks and group telegram.


Absolutely right, it is not the telegram a basis of measuring the ICO to be success in campaign. But the peoples interest in the project. Telegram is only a networks that entertain the investors on how they can joined the presale of the product, and investing procedures. They are the only one that organized the concerned of the members especially on updates of payments and dates of distribution.
