Title: Versatility of Telegram for Games, Crypto Trading, and More.
Post by: akeemqaz on November 07, 2024, 08:35:52 PM

Absolutely everything can be done on Telegram these days. Games, trading, analysis and so many more, and I believe there will be more over time.

I've been playing some games on Telegram with their mini app, and some are really interesting to play, apart from even getting airdrops for playing. So I wonder how trading will look, especially trading to get airdrops or discounts while trading.

Any opinion on Telegram mini apps? Or Telegram mini app suggestions for crypto trading, especially the ones that come with free airdrops or discounts?

I am doing some cute games on the Telegram where users can earn points which maybe later on be converted to tokens and be sold for cash...hopefully. As of now, the Telegram has really evolved a lot and it is not just anymore the messaging app as it is known. I am though still careful with apps in Telegram offering trading services...am still on the sideline on this matter until we can see the whole platform really matured and be tested by time. I am sure that there will be more choices on the things we can do in Telegram as there will be more platforms moving into it to catch more market. Am looking forward for some famous entertainment companies focusing on movies and TV series to maybe also try to exploit the TG market...and yes eCommerce should now see how they can squeeze in here. In fact, I am really wondering why there is no credible competitor with Telegram right now.

As far as I know, currently there is no telegram mini App for trading crypto like it is done on CEX exchanges. However, there is a P2P trading on telegram, though i have not used this option because i am still skeptic about the traders sincerity. You know, P2P trading has some risk especially if telegram does not have strong security measures to deal with defaulters on the event that a person refused to pay another. On the CEX exchanges there is an 'Appeal' section, a feature that requires a person to report another person if He/she refused to pay another during trading.

However, it should be said that Telegram has truly impressive scale of development as the software which can be used for almost everything starting from gaming and ending with crypto trading and even gambling. With that, the interaction with Telegram is fun and interesting in the digital firms via its mini apps to a level it could offer incentives including airdops or discounts. It is possible to imagine only the further trade on the given platform or extra earnings that can be received or additional focus that could be given because of something. But if we are ready to look at crypto trading then markets like these on mini apps/ bots inside of Telegram with incentives like this are could be good for us.

The speed of updating these games makes it impossible to follow, so I think that if you want to play them for fun, this is good, but it is a bad investment.

Telegram now offers more than just messaging. Its mini apps provide games trading analysis and more. For those interested in cryptocurrency apps like CryptoBot and Telegram Trade make buying and selling easy. Other apps such as CryptoAirdropsBot notify you about free cryptocurrency giveaways. When using these apps make sure to check app credibility and understand any fees and secure your account. Telegram has become a go to place for cryptocurrency trading and free giveaways and connecting with others.

I am quite active on telegram in terms of playing games and joining airdrops but TBH never saw any trading platform which is trusted and is in the market for some time having positive reviews. Even if I would find one I will suggest not to use Telegram bots to do trading at the moment due to some privacy issues and maybe in future the project goes by the name Blum will introduce its exchange or trading platform on Telegram as they mentioned on their sites many times.

Even if you come to find any trading telegram bot it's normal to get rewards in such bots because without rewards no one is going to give a try to these trading bots.

Recently I came back and play some Telegram games but that is not what it all ends there because one of my most favorite feature is the crypto trading and stuff though I am not that good at it but I can say Telegram is improving and I know one day it will become the best messaging app  just because of the fact that it offers a lot of things that we might be interested in though I am not a serious gambler but we can also find gambling on Telegram, it's built-in wallet is great but my only question is that how secure is it especially money related transactions on it?

It sure does have potential, but T2E should go away with time.
Other sectors may take its place and audiences, that would be for the better.

I do believe in Blum, however, only time will tell.
It sure does rally lots of people behind it, the question is, how many of them would go on and learn more, trade for real, expand, etc.

I hope it will become even better and quality-based as time goes on.
Overall, TON eco is not that bad, it's that just it relies for now on the people that don't want to put their skin in something - just to get a quick buck and move on.

I have nothing against Blum, but it's just another tap to earn games if I'm not mistaken, and they haven't had any airdrops yet. But as far as it goes, there have been a disappointment already from Hamster to Tomarket recently. But yes, it really makes me wonder why is this crazy hype on Telegram right now, yeah, I know that you can built mini apps on top of it and then more, but there could be some security issues that might pop up in the future. Or maybe this is just the hype this bull run and then it will suddenly died down, just like the rest from ICO -> "to what ever the current trend is".

The thing you have mention on your topic these are the reason for that Telegram will going to be the best social media platform in the future. We know that few years back facebook have also run some kinds of easy games for funs only here I also think we should take as fund while playing game on the telegram mini apps and this is because if any person thinks that he will earn a huge fund by playing a games then his thoughts will be proved as wrong. But the others thing we also saw that the online platforms like shopping facilities, also investing in cryptocurrency with the miniapps of the official bots of the cex. And I think the features we will found on the cex application or the platform we won't gonna having the same experience on the telegram mini apps so that my suggestion would be use cex for trading.

Yeah we can call it a tap to earn game where we have to play the game by tapping the leaves we can earn points and with some ratio later near TGE they will give us tokens and till now its been many months and I am able to earn around 100,000+ points which are very low. Considering the efforts and reward I can't agree more with you that Blum is not that good and its not going to make us lot of money.

Yep when the bull run ends the hype will definitely fades away and that's the hard reality of this matter that nothing stays in hype forever so the craze to join airdrops on telegram someday will scam their users like some already have but people are bullish they don't want to miss opportunities to earn few extra dollars and most of the users belong to developing countries so maybe that's why they want to give it a try to kickstart their journey from such airdrop too.

It is considered as telegram new hype where users earn points and convert those points into tokens after a certain period of time. I've only seen a lot of people profit from the dogs and notcoin community. But now all those games are coming and there is not much profit from there. A few days ago, there was a service like getting tokens by earning points for free in these games, but now you have to invest there. Almost all projects have mandated the ton transaction process quite directly. Now people want to avoid the issue as compared to earlier because they are not able to withdraw that money by investing.

Just like the whole cryptocurrency industry, being a crypto-based platform am sure that Telegram will also be hoisting many good as well as bad programs and projects...and in the process many can be benefitted and many will also be disappointed for not getting what they expect to have. I think this is just a natural thing to happen as Telegram is on its way to maturity stage. In Telegram, there is no screening committee to approved or stop any project from coming hence it can also be a breeding ground of many scams. The point is that it is all up to us and the community to do the due diligence and discernment as it is not all heaven here...it can also be a hell to some.

The early projects were good. I worked on some of the projects you mentioned, like Dogs and Notcoin, for about a month, and the profits were quite decent. But nowadays, most of the projects coming to Telegram are either scams or pays very little. About investing in TON: there was a project I was very optimistic about, and I wanted to invest 1 TON to double my points. Guess what? It's still running, delaying its launch date every month and scamming users! The pattern is the same as airdrops. Early 2017 airdrops were gems, but now a days most them are shit. It's the same with these so called telegram projects!

There is a huge userbase for Telegram and the number of the people that participates in these airdrops are quite huge. We're talking about hundred of millions people in there so, there's a potential on it but we don't know for how long this craze will stay. But as I think of it, we are in a bull run and something like this is going to last while the bull run is here. And after that, we'll never know how this is going to survive so with usecases like having an exchange through telegram is actually good and convenient.

The growth of its users is quite rapid when there is a mini telegram game for airdrop purposes... for the initial game that adopted the concept, it did provide quite good benefits, but for now, the airdrop method is boring and no longer provides good trust... users are only lured by the lure of income from doing small tasks, even though it is quite a waste of time... and now I am also starting to lose faith in the airdrop method on telegram, because its time is indeed over...

Currently, telegram is still a good information center for crypto users... there are so many channels that share the latest news about the crypto space so that we can always know the important events that are happening... for other innovations that I haven't tried, maybe the exchange in the mini telegram application, I haven't tried that.

Telegram is one of the best online free earning source in cryptocurrency market. We also know that telegram also the best profitable source, because we also see that this telegram is also free airdrop earning way in this moment. We also saw that's many young people also involved in this source for earning way. We also selected best profitable crypto in cryptocurrency market for telegram. Because when we hold in this coin, i believe that we must understanding in this coin in very well, suppose dogs.

We see currently many airdrops based on telegram and you are right from telegram we can earn income. There are many airdrops using the TON network and through telegram to be able to participate there.
I also interact with fellow crypto lovers using telegram because I think this is the best.
And with the existence of airdrops and minigames on telegram which are currently hype, there are many new telegram users.

But for the purpose of finding airdrops by playing minigames, for now I don't think telegram is a good place to earn money... it's true, they pay a number of new tokens they release, but most of those tokens are worthless, so it makes many people disappointed because they have spent their time and energy playing the game...

For the purpose of mini applications, maybe telegram is slightly superior, especially now that many crypto users choose telegram for communication needs... maybe if Binance can enter this area, it will provide other conveniences.. as long as it's not a game, quite fed up lately with game-based airdrops.

there is the ton wallet in telegram but i do not think proper trading is still applicable right now in the app it seems a little too complex for the app and it might lag the entire app and affect even the messaging function at one point

they are fun sure if you have free time but if you were to play for the sake of airdrops they can be sure as frustrating as they won't seem to be giving you the proper amount of airdrops relative to the effort you have put it but i guess that depends on the project i hear that this month blum would be ending their airdrop project it was an easy one and i wonder how much i would get from playing that

This is the major strength of Telegram unlike other messaging platform where the main reason of existence is just to connect people to each other. Here at Telegram, we can experience many things all in one setting and this is all very much suited to the cryptocurrency industry which is getting to be its own main market and the main driver of its growth. I am expecting a lot of things to happen in the Telegram ecosystem and I am hoping they will not stop on putting in more practical innovations people can use and appreciate...into the future. And I am also hoping that soon its TON will be reaching the $10 threshold as a symbol of its power and resiliency.

There is now a craze for so-called "presents" on Telegram as a whole, but I didn't hear much about their projects after the t2e craze. Is there a good utility-based project on the chain currently?

Telegram is indeed the platform that I think is the most important in the cryptocurrency industry, there are many advantages of this platform when compared to other platforms. Starting from the speed of communication, the number of members in a very large group, and flexibility.
And there are many more advantages as mentioned above, I personally bought Telegram Premium because in my opinion it has many features that are not owned by the regular version.

To engage oneself in the crypto world and primarily engaging in airdrops via Telegram is actually quite favourable, just because this app gives a lot of freedom for discussion and sharing information. There are numerous groups where this topic becomes discussed with numerous standpoints, therefore, we should be able to stand to benefit from this. Based on such obtained results, it will not be rational for us, as long-term users, to subscribe to these services if these extra functions do not offer meaningful advances in our actions. For instance, direct needs not complicated with other aspects how technology can be rationally used gives a good model. In that manner, we can achieve the productivity and still be able to interact with the community without having the feeling that we need to use some services which, to some extent, are not necessary to us at all.

You are absolutely right, and finally I am now subscribing to premium telegram for the first time. In addition to interacting and communicating with colleagues, there are now many Airdrops from this telegram application. And by using premium telegram we will get more rewards than regular telegram. Therefore I decided to subscribe to premium telegram for the first year, hopefully there will be satisfactory results.

Telegram is slowly becoming a super app under the radar.

Let's hope Whatsapp and X/Twitter continue to sleep on this and that this continues to fly under the radar of the US Congress (not that I"d expect them to try to ban another app again.)
