Is Telegram the new measure of ICO success?

[supergorg27]

Its so nice to join in the Telegram because you will know the updated happening on the project you have joined and this is the way where you can interact or communicate with the admin of the project.

I would probably say that telegram community numbers has a part on the success of ICO but most of the telegram group which has big number of community is due to bounties and airdrop. They require each participant to join the group as prerequisite for the airdrop campaign and likewise with bounty campaigns.

Telegram is the very best way to communicate the team of the project,  where you can ask questions there. You can ask for help or to give solutions on your problem,  but not all telegram is applicable for asking questions about bounty.  So telegram is a way to communicate only.

nary. if someone wants to make everything beautiful (make a beautiful scam project) he and telegram to promote. telegram channels are not an indicator

[mimota167]

I do not think telegram can be easily manipulated as in other social media, telegram is just a means to get information, not as a measure of ICO success.

Usually people are paid with coins, so that they join the group, so I do not pay attention to it at all. The main indicator is a good marks on icobench.

[TropicalDog17]

I am fully agreed with you. Social media and viewing that the team is working hard on their project are the things that really important, and most of all, promising.

I noticed that Telegram has been quite popular among traders which is why some ICO development teams decided to join this app as a platform for discussions and anouncments that refer to the project itself. I'd say that an easy way to follow up an ICO project so I am glad they use Telegram.

[kphonetic]

I don't think it is , i use it to follow some coins. It seems very easy to randomly add people , and most people aren't leaving. And there are probably some other ways to artificially increase the amount of users they have. I'd say Whitepaper,roadmap and team still go before telegram activity.

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?

     Not a !00% will be base on telegram to measure of the success of the project since many people in the telegram seems to be interested in the project but they never invest on it, so maybe it"s only 40% of the analysis comes from the telegrams and the remaining  60% is in the actual scenario, where we can find the answer and we can judge whether the project is successful or failed .

[DiamonDogs]

As far as I know, it depends on the member itself.
If the telegram group contains a lot of BOT members, then you can't measure that ICO will succeed.

[zhaviabieber405]

No I don't think so, easy to buy fake telegram members or just do an airdrop and you get 50k over night.

[MMysterious]

I don't think Telegram determines the success and failures of a project. But of course having good numbers of members in a Telegram group is also an advantage as it means there is also heavy interests.

[railem312]

I will say you can not base your decision solely on the number of people in the telegram group. We have seen some "not so good" projects having massive members on telegram just because they are airdropping some tokens

[Axolotly]

I don't think you should always judge the project by the member count in their Telegram. Most of them can be bought or be airdrop participants. Usually you can find out by scrolling far enough in the TG group history

[vivuta110]

I think actually Telegram is a measure of success.There are too many people in the telegram from the projects that are airdropped.

[yen10]

Not always. Yes telegram is relevant for an ICO in able to be successful but its just one factor. There are a lot even more important factors to consider aside from telegram. Telegram can contributes to the success of an ICO because its one way of communicating to people who are might be a potential investor. Also its easier to inform the community about updates and news about the ICO using telegram.

[Princessjilian]

For me, telegram can be one that can measure the ICOs success but it cannot assure us 100%. We can make the telegram as basis also but it just a part of more aspects that we should consider in order for us investors to say that ICOs will be successful.

[benjamin11]

Telegram is important in an ICO but its success does not solely depends on it. It helps the ICO to be successful by means of communicating with other people. There are ICO with a good telegram but was not able to succeed. On the other hand, there are ICO with no telegram but still manage to be successful. It really depends on the project itself.

[Meimille]

Key success factor to be a sucessfull ico is communicate. Telegram is apps to make interaction between the investors and the devs
its uses build a community and sharing about the project.
but don't just take informations from only Telegram, we must take informations from many sources like withpaper, icobench and etc
