Title: Is Telegram the new measure of ICO success?
Post by: bdsharminsoltana on October 12, 2018, 09:00:51 AM
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 think yes the numbers members of community in telegram will helps the projects of ICOs successfull, because many good information about the ICOs on there and the community who has questions can be sent on there the developer of team will answer it and it will make clear explanation about the ICOs projects.

I am also looking at the telegram members as my basis on how many investors and bounty hunters are joining, the more, the more chances of succeeding but not all, still we can not say so maybe there are fake profile and bots in a telegram channel you're joining in

These can be measured also but we cannot totally say that the projects that has a big community in the telegram has big chance to succeed since the majority of the members of tha telegram are bounty hunters or not interested in the projects.

You can check on Google how to display or get Telegram members with the number of thousands of members.

Group social media can be manipulated and it is certain that the success of a project is seen from the #DevelopmentTeam  and the total Ethereum or Bitcoin that is collected.

Telegram is hardly a measure of an ICO success. It is more likely the result of a bounty like telegram referrals. I have seen a project with over a 90K members that failed to reach its soft cap.

Telegram is not a vital indicator of success. Yes, this is a very popular social network, but even a large number of followers in the telegram channel don't indicate that the project is legit. Sometimes people use special services in order to collect a lot of followers. This is only an illusion of success..

Telegram and social media are very important things to check before joining an ICO. Personally I always check them and ask questions to developers in telegram group.

I think the number of telegram members of an ICO cannot determine the success of the ICO. I also often join an ICO telegram with thousands of members but the project fails to reach softcap. Yes, many telegram channels manipulate the number of it members. Moreover, sometimes only several members seem active there. So, it is hard to believe the number of telegram members.

Yes, I think without telegram it would be difficult to survive ICO projects. Because most investors always sit in groups of telegram and communicate with the ICO project team. Also, telegram well helps to attract more people to the project, because they get news there, read messages and so on.

No it is not. There are probably more bots and multiple accounts than the number of real people in a telegram group. Noticed that only a handful are active even with tens of thousands of members

I think this can be a concern too with the explosion of followers of this project in one telegram, it can be interpreted that this project can draw someone's attention to create an opportunity for someone to participate in the ICO program in a project

see the success of the project from how many members on the telegram group?

I think that is a very fatal mistake! the telegram group is full because every member of the prize hunter invites people to join.

one of the ways is to assess the success of the ICO project by reading the whitepaper, website and the team that helped the project

Telegram is just another way to fake volume and popularity and deceives investors, most of the 10,000+ groups have 95% fake and inactive members. Anyone can have a big channel these days with minimum effort. To be honest I trust more the channels that have logical numbers 500-1000 even 300 those channels tend to be more active than 10k+ channels because they are mostly real active members.

No, I don't think telegram can measure the ICO success. I see there are some telegram channels from several ICOs with many members but it brings no impacts for the tokens sale. I don't know if they make it by bots or manipulation, in fact the ICOs have the difficulties to get investors for the projects.

Well I've seen groups with TONS of members that are just there because you need to join to get an airdrop. But hardly anyone is talking... just spam comments. Then there are much smaller telegrams with a dedicated supporter-base that are actively chatting. I prefer the latter.

Well I think telegram has a tons of users of it. In that case, some of projects are using telegram to gain more members to build their community.

I agree with you mate. the numbers members of community in telegram will helps the projects of ICOs successfull. It will give information about ICO and promotions.

Most of huge project's telegram group members is a result of bounty campaign or airdrop task.  If you join a project bounty campaign you have to join several telegram group or even invited peoples to get more reward.  Telegram group is a good media to communicate and to know everything about the project but absolutely not an attribute of success.

I think it is not about the numbers of members in the group but it is about how active the group is in business related discussion. Although huge members helps to rapidly promote the project but the question is how sincerely the team are?

For me it's not about the percentage of a member on telegram it's about on how they're work on a project to get successful but i agree if some of the members on telegram are investors it can help the project success.

The number of telegram group members nowadays is more of a measure of airdrop and/or bounty success and not ICO success. Most members would not even join the presale.

Yes Telegram is an important and essential part of spreading the news of ICO which makes ico more successful. Now a days maximum ico will generally discuss on Telegram channel and groups via manually or Telegram automatic bot.

Yes, telegram now play the big role in ICO success, because the interactions between the team and investors are direct . I always check also in telegram on how the team answer the inquiry of crypto enthusiast.

It is very important to answer the questions of the community in Telegram, but I did not categorically say that this measure of ICO success. But those projects which are silent and are not active in the group Telegram at risk to deter investors. It is not necessary to force the bounty participants to write empty messages there, it is more like spam, but the answers to sane questions - it really helps to promote the ICO.

Telegram is infrequently a measure of an ICO fulfillment. it's miles more likely the end result of a bounty like telegram referrals. i've seen a task with over a 90K contributors that did not reach its tender cap.

Amount member of Telegram group is an important factor to estimate about any ICO or token project but we should be careful coz some groups very crowded coz of airdrop or bounty campaing or just by the help of bots  >:(
Title: Re: Is Telegram the new measure of ICO success?
Post by: JaymondStark on October 14, 2018, 09:55:56 PM
Not exactly. Just because of having so many people in telegram groups of ICO projects doesn't mean they are going to succeed.

Just having an airdrop or bounties can call for so many people in telegram groups, and it doesn't mean anything. There are tons of examples to this, just need to look the right places.
