What do you think of tokens that did not update their Bitcointalk thread

[judeafante]

I've participated in so many bounty campaigns and invested on some tokens coming from ICO, but I notice that so many of these projects are not or stopped updating their Bitcointalk announcement thread but they are so active in their telegram channel.

Do you think this is good for a project in general, let's admit it, Bitcointalk topics always shows up in search engine like Google while on telegram you have to scroll a lot or wait for an answer and they are missing up some potential investors who first look on Bitcointalk for project that they want to invest in..

They just ran away with the money they raised. These scam project members reamain active till the last date of ICO and suddenly disappear. Most of them deleting their social media accounts and leaving any discussion they are involved in. They no more care about reputation or getting flagged. They have achieved what they want and would repeat the same with some new IDs, website and a modified whitepaper.

About projects bitcointalk announcement thread ,their are some active coins that don't bother to update on bitcointalk announcement thread anymore ,that doesnt mean they are dead but other social media channel update is a must, like telegram for example ,it must be very active always and updating investors of upcoming progression

If a  project stop updating their channels its a RED FLAG

[minatour]

maybe some people are too lazy to do that, they only discuss on telegram and only occasionally open threads at bitcointalk, but, as long as the team is still active. that's not a problem.
but it is better if the thread is always updated, so that it looks professional in its work.

@OP - let's admit it that there are many investors that no longer rely on bitcointalk and I would not be surprised if these teams see little benefits in maintaining their thread here. Another thing is that it is hard to be at page 1 on the ANN section without doing some (dirty) tricks.

I agree with this. Most ANN thread for Crypto projects are for formality sake with most Investors not on this forum. Some crypto projects have migrated to discord and telegram so there is no need to be monitoring or replying the BTT thread. Except for bounties Which are majorly on this forum, most ANN are virtually empty with no comment over the years.

For ICO's projects starters Bitcointalk forum is just a free tool to raise Easy money, After they guarantee money possession in their pockets they trash away the Tool and ofc they do same thing for investors.
I hope investors will stop funding ICO's scam, check out CMC all ICOs tokens are between 70 - 90% under initial ico price and same will happen to IEO.

I don't think there is anything wrong with not updating the bitcointalk thread. There are many successful projects which don't find the time doing so again, but yet they are active in their respective groups be it Telegram or Discord.
I think the most important thing is for the team to be active, delivering what was promised while adding value to the platform.

[jdarren]

I never really thought about it until reading this thread but you are right. I do trust projects that are much more actively involved on all fronts. the ones that show up and then ghost out shouldn't be trustworthy what so ever

[Coroline]

agree with you I think it's not good to always update about the bitcointalk project renewal because it will have an impact on the project that many people will see to attract investors differently than projects that are only active on telegram but not updated on bitcointalk

in my opinion it is not a problem and will be fine as long as the team is still active in telegram or social media and of course the project has progress, because investors will invest if the project is good and profitable, so you don't need to be afraid if the project you are investing have never been active or updated on Bitcointalk, because most importantly the team is still active in telegram or social media to provide information about the project and in my opinion investors will still invest in the project even though the team has never been active and updated about the project on Bitcointalk, because investors are more interested to investing in projects that have teams is active on telegram or social media to be able to communicate and ask questions directly with the team.

It maybe they find telegram more convenience and a platform where a lot of investors frequent. Lately, I have seen a project has thousands of followers on its telegram where they can interact with management team directly. I think in bounty talk thread, it takes long time for project team to respond. So telegram has become popular for promoting a project.

[btc_angela]

Of course initial reaction will be why? As you have said Bitcointalk is the best community other crypto related stuff. So if they do stop or not updated their thread by very busy on their telegram group then something fishy might be going on from behind. This community will scrutinized everything and maybe they are afraid that someone will saw what they are doing, i.e. running a project scam. So it will be hard for them to change the perception of the community, hence they just decided to promote it in telegram wherein they can easily 'deceived' investors and later pull a exit scam.

Of course it's not good. Do you know about mb8coin? It was thought to be a gem for this year but the truth is the DEV are real shit and not anymore updating the ANN while they earlier promised to list in exchange.

[patz22]

Bitcointalk is basically like a place for crypto lovers and even the legends were here so I guess if a project doesn't update their thread for this community I would agree that it's either they are a scam or the project didn't work as planned, however we have to consider that some are legit but not updating due to many workloads for its developments, this is just my insight about this topic, and you?

[Aldrinx00]

They must continuously update their bitcointalk thread because lots of investors are also here in forum, well most project that don't update their thread are mostly scams like athero who already run away with the peoples money. However there's also some projects that are actively updating telegram, social media etc but still it's a must to update their thread.

[rdewilde]

A token or project not updating their Bitcointalk ANN thread isn't an Issue, rather the issue is, if there is no activity in their support groups etc.
Most successful project don't even have ANN thread while most that had a successful Public sale no longer update their thread but are delivering as promised, thus to me that's what matters. All investors wants is good products and services that will add value to their investment or holdings..

[Red-Apple]

for 90% of the projects (and 100% of the fund raising scams) the purpose of the bitcointalk announcement topic is to advertise it temporarily and rise the most amount of funds by fooling the most number of people. then as soon as they get their money they have no more incentive to come to bitcointalk and waste their time by communicating with others, updating their topic, or basically do anything else to the project since they have been paid and cashed out!
they simply abandon everything and move on enjoying the free money they received.

Looks like the OP is not saying about fraudulent ICOs. The projects mentioned are still alive and in development, but their teams are mostly active on Telegram not on Bitcointalk. The OP is wondering why they publish news on the messenger channel and do not update their ANN thread here.

Do you think this is good for a project in general, let's admit it, Bitcointalk topics always shows up in search engine like Google while on telegram you have to scroll a lot or wait for an answer and they are missing up some potential investors who first look on Bitcointalk for project that they want to invest in..

Undoubtedly, Bitcointalk is the world's most popular forum regarded to Bitcoin and other crypto currencies. This is a convenient platform for discussing any questions about trading, investing, gambling, etc. But the Bitcointalk forum is not a chat.

You correctly noticed that Bitcointalk is followed by robots and indexed by Google and other search engines, so people can easily find the project they interested in and come here simply by clicking on the link.

Many potential investors read the Bitcointalk forum every day, so the teams that run ICO/IEO/STO campaigns are very active in their Bitcointalk announcement thread in order to attract investments and reach a soft cap and hard cap. Each thread is buried fairly quickly, so the team and the bounty manager post announcements very often. After that, they develop their product and communicate with the project community mostly chatting via messengers like Telegram.

In my opinion, not updating their Bitcointalk thread after a successful ICO is not very good for the project in general. Teams should update their ANN thread at least every 3 months. In this case, the forum community will be informed that the project is alive, promising and worthy of additional investments.

I don't think updating a projects thread determines its success, although it adds to the publicity of the project too. In my own view, what matters is if the team are able to offer something tangible that will make the project Valuable, if yes then there is no problem. There are many who have bitcointalk thread but yet failed and there are many who don't yet succeded.
