Is Telegram the new measure of ICO success?

[Cryptobosslady]

Telegram is a measure of Sucess for icos cause icos need a community and most team developers build their community on telegram, from telegram you can tell if the admins of a project are serious or not, it is easier to communicate on telegram than this forum,  you get many active supporters of your projects on telegram. Also many icos run airdrops in telegram so they get lots of new users coming for the airdrops, but  if they like the projects they invest in them as well, and also telegram build trust among investors cause when you see an active telegram group with much people ,you can HV trust in that project and also invest in it

Social media presence is a very bad way to judge the project.
I am not saying that one should neglect this factor but how we all know , it is easy to get a ton of fake or paid followers,reposts, blogs and etc.

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?

Yes telegram is the new measure of ico since there are a lot of new ico's today that are requiring telegram for them to determine if the participant is a scam or not.

I think in 2017 it could be a measure that a  project has a loads of followership or a strong community behind it but right now in 2018 some icos now add bot as members to make the numbers look huge and deceive people. So in my opinon, it is not a meqsure of success.

Yes, telegram is part of the measure for the success of an ICO. It should be noted that a crowded telegram group is not just enough for the success but a very active telegram group where the investors show interest and ask questions about the project.

Of course, for the successful marketing of the project, you need a group in telegram with announcements of important events and administrators who know the project in detail. I was under the impression that projects frequently create groups in the telegram only to users wrote messages like, "Whoa, cool project." And when i ask some serious question administrators answer "after clarification from the project team we will contact you". Naturally no one clarifies anything and then does not communicate. It's sad.

Well telegram do have some success rate to offer when it comes to icos though.Because ones you have a lot of people on your telegram page, it automatically creates awareness of the project everywhere.But the success has to do with the team and their project plans and well laid down road map and transparency.

what if most people in the group or on the telegram channel were bot? I'm not sure that members in a telegram group are real and keep monitoring the latest news or news that is posted on the post, maybe only a few who see the news. most of the telegram groups are full of bot!

Everything in crypto is about the anonymity. It is very logical that telegram is important for crypto, because it is anonymous and easy to use. The groups in telegram are suitable for ICOs.

No, Telegram member count is not a measure of success. Promoters can easily blow up a member count by unscrupulously adding Telegram users without their consent and sometimes people join because of the airdrops.

[kiky03]

The success of Telegram fees depends directly on the fact that Pavel Durov is today a very famous person, who in turn is the head of this project, it turns out that people just trusted their investments to this guy.

[qomariah95]

Telegram in my opinion is one way to announce a project development progress. And also telegram is one place to ask for everyone. Can be from the participants Bounty Campaign and also investors. Indeed Telegram is one way to succeed a project so I think telegram one of the success of ICO.

[minhthy1945]

It is a hard question, especially after the events in Russia which soon probbaly will to a block for its citizens. And that's not the first time it happened. Iran and couple more countries did something like that.

[tranquyen123456]

Telegram is a good channel to evaluate the ICO project community. But it's not all, it could be due to the bounty campaign and the project's airdrop too well. I evaluate the ICO project through some trustworthy sites like icobench.com as well as the amount of capital that the project has called.

[ungongbuotan]

For me telegram plays a huge part on making an ico successful. Telegram is a great way for members or potential investors and the people behind the ico to interact and discuss the project. I have joined a couple of ico and I think an active telegram channel is much more better than a dead one.

[annstasia009]

The ICO of this project was very competently made, the advertisements of this project and their sales have been everywhere I think it is one of the most promising ICO this year.

[dragonball12]

competant ico team. 
I think Telegram is not a measure of ICO success though it is a great help of the team to communicate with the whole group. Aside from this, with Telegram, the members of the team will be updated about the project they are joining.

[Bitmore]

Interesting opinion. I had not paid attention to the activity of telegrams. In the future, I will use this method to find cool ico.

[allcryptominer]

Definetly not since many ICO's have telegram bounties where they encourage spamming. There is no way to measure how successful a ICO gonna be unfortunetly.

[irina72]

An active telegram group with a large number of members shows how good the project with their marketing strategy, up shows how active the project community is.
