Most probably it is a scam. As there are no official words from Telegram side. They have tweeted before they do not have any plan to ICO.

Recently forbs have also announced that its a scam: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonbloomberg/2018/02/17/telegram-ico-scam-among-cryptocurrency-scams/#5cc83371cf00

See another recently published article on it: https://www.coindesk.com/fake-website-scam-targets-aspiring-telegram-ico-investors/

The ICO is real. But I don't think it's going to be a good investment in short term given its large market cap even at the start. Big ICO seldom performs well in crypto world.
Do you have any link that provides the legitimacy of telegram ICO is real? AFAIK, that telegram ICO before is not legit and there's no official announcement from the real telegram team.
And for those aspiring investors of TON, read this: https://www.coindesk.com/fake-website-scam-targets-aspiring-telegram-ico-investors/

It should be true, but I don't like the ico of telegram, because I think that as a finished product of the centralized chat software, there is no need for ico, the big probability is to defraud the investor's money.


I do not agree with you. Almost all members or investors entering the crypto market are on telegrams looking for good ICO projects. Telegram is a very hot application and we can see it as a traditional application of the crypto market.
So Telegram ICO is good and working on that application can also attract investors. That's my opinion of your question.

This is a very cool coin of the future. If it comes out as planned, then I think it's worth investing in it! But I know that just so buy it will be very difficult and it's expensive.

There are rumors that there will not be an open sale at all. Too much money they collected in a closed sale. Yes, and such a large number of scams can not but worry. But even if such a sale happens, I think it will be Armageddon. The site will lie all the time because of the number of participants.

Hi! Couldn't find any topics on bitcointalk about ICO of Telegram messenger. Not sure that this topic belongs to this discussion board but couldn't find anything more relevant...
So is it for real that Telegram is planning a huge ICO or internet is just going crazy about fake news?   Huh Huh Huh
Depends on what your notion this means that there it is still no, but it infa 100$ if it will not then Pavel Durov feed you to the sharks, Roman Abramovich. Since a large part of the investments that ICO belongs to him.

I wanted to invest in that coin. I've read that the ICO for the Telegram project already finished?


It looks like kinda private sale is already finished. But of course - it is only rumors.
I saw someone in Telegram invited into the pool, they are telling that they are participants in ICO and they got passed to private sale.
But I think this is scam, really. And another rumor - investors will wait till 2019 spring to see something technologically Smiley

Yes , it is true , the command telegrams will hold ICO . Want to collect 500 000 000 $ . And there will still be some fees from certain large sums , like everyone is not so easy to come by
Telegram ICO for $50 million. That is amazing.

Of course this is true, but why do you think that this is not true? Only there are a lot of very serious moments, you do not need to send your money to any groups in the telegram, because most likely it's just another fraud. Therefore, it is worth taking a closer look at this.

Yes, this is real. And there is rumors that everyone will get some coins on their telegrem account. But I think if ICO is for investors who have eveb 0.1 eth there will be no ICO. Just private pre-sale, everything for whales. And then they will sell it instant x10 on market. Rumors again, but someone says that entry value required - 20m$. For one ivestor! Thats why I think this is crypto for whales

I've read both "leaked" whitepapers for TON and the last one is quite good.
The main purpose is platform development - not profit. Even if you'll buy a bunch of tokens for 1$ each, you'll hardly gain any profit.

There's just news about Telegram planning an ICO but no official date yet. There's also tons of scam sites pretending to sell Telegram token on ICO.
I think so. There is no official information from Telegram on their ICO project, but on many forums people deliberately launch news for fraudulent purposes. Be careful with the information you receive, please contact the Telegram management team directly to understand their project.

That still just a rumor like what facebook has,there are some news that they will create their own cryptocurrency but i doubt there will be no facebook cryptocurrency as they already restrict paid ICO promotions in facebook.

The recent special hot telegram, mainly reflected in the ICO project a lot of publicity and exchange are carried out above, ICO project false depends on their own judgments, the investment risk, a reasonable investment

Telegram is a privacy focused application with 180,000,000 users. The Telegram FAQ states “making profits will never be an end-goal for Telegram.”
There have been unverified claims that Telegram security has been compromised, if true then Telegram is of course working to fix this.
The pricing model of the TON ICO, would have benefited from that of EOS. The EOS ICO benefits from a more transparent price discovery mechanism.
Around 50% of the tokens will be held back by Telegram, to “stabilize the market”.

I don't see the official ANN, but what they say in the discussions is very similar to the fact that Telegram stole ideas from another project - e-Chat (decentralized messenger with multicurrency wallet and blog platform with "crypto-like" function).

Oh, has e-Chat already had an ICO?
