Telegram is just a medium for communication in order for you to ask questions in an admin of a project and it is use also in building community. Well, in cryptocurrency, for you to be trusted by many people you should first build a community. And so there's telegram to build one.

One other medium was slack, but due to many occurrence of FUDS and scams by other users, projects tend to switch to telegram or discord.

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?

It's one thing that definitely can be a good indicator but shouldn't be relied on, many groups blow up because of airdrops and such that oversell how much support the actual project has.

Telegram has long been the playground of crypto traders and amateurs. To help investors determine which ICOs are the most dynamic, ICO Whitelists has put together a page following the cryptographic projects that have gained the most followers in the last 24 hours. The site explains:
99% of all ICOs use Telegram as a channel to interact with their communities. This means that we can measure the strength of ICO communities by measuring the size of these Telegram groups.

ICOs usually don't have any presentation in real world, most of them exist in the Web only. So when people are active in social media groups of an ICO, it is definitely a good sign:)

Telegram is so widely used in the cryptoworld that there is a new trading bot on this platform called telex AI. Soon their TLX tokens will be on the exchanges so worth looking out for those (assuming you missed the recent ICO)

I dont think so, you can never rely on that data because there are many parameters to be considered more than telagram.

recently, it's the app used by bountyhunters and traders to communicate with each other since it's considered as convenient also, personally.

still, ICO's success is not based on social medias or telegram. advertisements are just placed or posted there but the success is still based on the earnings of the bounty campaign, if it were able to earn or not.

Telegram is my favourite messenger, but I wouldn't claim that is measures the ICO's success because success is formed by a new creative idea and relevance on the market

This is something that can very easily be faked or manipulated. I don't think that anyone should take this seriously because registration to telegram used to be very easy to be made by bots and to an extent still is. There's no indication that Telegram has gotten rid of the old bot accounts in their platform either.

i think the answer should be yes,as per my opinion telegram is a most important social media through which we can get updated every news. There are some functions such as group,channel.In the group about 30000 member can join but  the channel lot of people can subscribe and updated what they will publish about their company or project.So its measure ico will success or not i think.

I can say that telegram is one parameter that can say how famous the ICO is. Depending on the number of members
we can tell how many people knows the project.
 Not everyone has telegram so probably its not the measure of success. The success is purely based
 on the kind of project, the developers , the people that would support, the significance and if its worth it.

Most investors always evaluate from the telegram as this is the information channel about the project. If the project has a large number of members, then surely this project is a lot of people are interested and can help us have a good view of the project.

Seriously?? Let me say a group of 50k bots and admins not updating anything about his project and bits posting "Hi" everyday or posting in other language or someone spamming other ref. links. How does that looks? Good?

Will project get even a serious investor? Obviously no.

My only question is: why Telegram? Why did it become the de facto main platform for ICOs? Why not discord for example?
Telegram is easy to use and it can contain huge number of people unlike other messaging apps whose groups can only take a few people.

I'd argue that discord is more straightforward and as far as I know, most messenger apps nowadays don't have a limit on the number of people anyway.

In my opinion the telegram project is very good and they will have a lot of success with their ICO.
And I generally think to get involved in this.

I totally disagree that telegram is a reason of success.

i have actually seen an ico with 50k telegram members and still failed.... and i had to buy the ico too feeling that even if itfails we ll complain via the telegram but they disbanded the telegram after the project failed  so dont judge  by the number telegram members

Correct , a high no.of telegram group participants doesn't means that project has got a great support from the community. A project can buy a telegram bot adding service or participants can fill a telegram with bots in order to get a high share of Bounty reserved(if there is).

Lookout thoroughly for developments a project makes and updates the community with their ideas and I only feel they are the ones getting success. Most of the rise in telegram users is only due to Bounty airdrops. You can't say if rise in telegram users is  actually true.

It's all fairy dust ...so get out from such illusion if you have such in mind.

The the number of followers on Telegram gives a good insight if the project was drawing enough attention to the potential investors. Interaction with the team is crucial pre ICO. If there was any red flags can be raised and answered to build up a trust between the team and participants. A crowded Telegram channel of an ICO is always a good start IMO.

Yes. I judge the success of a project can be seen from the liveliness in telegram and how many members in it. Because more are speaking about the project in telegram, it gets closer to success.

Decentralized Security - DIW
I've been following many threads this week and including this one, even other Telegram groups are mentioning DIW token - http://www.diwtoken.com/?utm_source=XKOTOFWF , this is a sign that the community is growing. Which means that Telegram is an important means of getting ICOs out there for the world to see.
