Telegram is trash

[DabsPoorVersion]

Tell me another social media platform that will be good to communicate with users and investors, apart from telegram and twitter. Telegram is the only platform, I normally make use of to get information about a crypto project easily.
As for me, telegram is the best, in terms of easy communication of information

I do agree, I don't see any other platforms that we can use to communicate and gather updates aside from telegram,

Maybe OP joined in groups that is really giving non-sense updates where he can just leave the group and find a better group. There are still lots of group that is good enough and giving updates.

If in detail then this happens in every social media, not only in telegram, for anyone they must always do their own research, be it investors or bounty hunters, and also don't easily trust bot members in the telegram channel.

IMHO, I believe that Telegram was very useful to many crypto projects nowadays, on the other hand, the crypto projects are also helping Telegram to achieve its goals by advertising it thats why crypto projects are one of the main contributors to the Telegram's popularity today so both are helping with each other to grow thats why for me Telegram is not trash but a tool for communication purposes.     

It is a good tool and it's still being used today by developers to give updates on the development of the project and so are by the scammers to scam newbies or who do not aware how scammers works or how they use this tool to scam people, investors and bounty hunters should be aware and do not trust anyone in telegram right away.

Looks like, OP has complaints about the social media groups of some projects. The Telegram is the best alternative compared to Slash which only lets the team members communicate with each other while in Telegram everything is free and open-source(AFAIK). The bounty hunters keep spamming the telegram groups by asking the same silly questions about the exchange listing, already announced swap details. This is irritating and admins have the rights to ban such messages.

I won't say telegram is trash, it's just that scammers tend to abuse every good thing in life,even at that there are still some great crypto communities there, stop surrounding yourself with the wrong community, they are some good community there that can actually help you walk your way up to the moon just filter the groups and take the right ones, if you don't feel comfortable in a group then just leave, also do your own research don't follow other people's opinions.

Telegram has many features and is easy to access too. in fact, most bounty projects use telegram as a communication channel for the ICO project itself. But we need to be careful because the Telegram feature, which is easy to set up, can be misused by scammers to trick their targets.

If you got scammed here or have been deceived yes it trash because scammers can always delete your conversation and they can imitate other users, but it's still a very important communication tools for developers to their supporters, but I'd like to see a better version of Telegram because of the so many abuse.

[luckyflop]

It is like a knife, you can use it in a good or bad way, It all depends on you, Usually, every project got a telegram group to notify the members and also there are scammers too, there are some people getting paid to increase the numbers of your telegram group, or to report it so you have your group closed due to the violence or any other reasons, but it exists and in a bright side, you can ask your questions there and get some useful information out of it.

[Novatech8]

Seems it's just an echo chamber that tells you your bags are going to the moon... And if the price happens to go down? ?
....then it's another chance to fill your bags even more LMFAO!

One critical observation.... Instaban!

Silly ass shit

Am I wrong?










Edit: I am not talking about Electroneum.

Biggest joke on Telegram is Avalanche. Great project, horrific Telegram. Not one negative comment.  LOL

But this is how it's done on almost all projects...purposefully.

Trashy as hell.  BAD form. Zero class

There will always be those who will spread FOMO and FUD on any project telegram groups, it's left for the group managers to automatically reject messages that consists of any FUDs, the best Telegram group i like among almost all new projects since 2018 is Chainlink, as big as this project is the telegram group is well controlled

OP made mentioned of Avalanche project, well this crypto project is not a scam or anywhere next to it, investors can be annoying sometimes, just because a telegram group is blocking people off doesn't mean the project is scam, some people's aim is to spread FUD and that's no good for any new project

[asrafkhairulazzam22]

I do not agree with the above statement that telegrams are rubbish. Because not all information in the telegram is trash. Even from telegram we can get a lot of important information about new projects. And I think telegram is very useful not only for seniors but also for beginners.

[bits4books]

I can understand why some people mention Telegram is trash, because now there are so many scams on the Telegram platform.
Especially in the cryptocurrency world, Telegram is often used as a means of communication between fellow crypto communities,
and Telegram is also used by the Bounty Manager to communicate with bounty hunters. Here scammers use Telegram to spread
fake investment offers, and also shit projects doing fundraising using the Telegram platform. So it's actually not the Telegram
platform's fault if there are lots of scams, however, we ourselves should be able to filter the information that occurs on Telegram.

Another proof of the spiral nature of history.
First there were forums where there were a lot of scammers. Then full-fledged fraudulent crypto projects began to appear. And now it's enough to create a landing page and a group in TG that would already be able to profit from someone else's ignorance.
Just no one wants to conduct at least the simplest and primary analysis of something-it's much easier then to go somewhere and write that "[N] is a Scam"

Telegram is the most common tool crypto project is using nowadays in communicating with their users and investors.  It is where they announce also their important updates aside from other social media channels. In telegram, they can get feedback and other concerns from the users and investors directly. In such a way, they can resolve the issue faster. So we can't generalize all the telegram groups as rubbish.

You guys should see my email account and the kind of shit mail I get every day. Basically 90+ % of the mail in my mailfolder is either phishing emails, straight out scams, or trying to sell fake products. Kind of puts things into perspective amd makes Telegram look like a much better platform of communication.

I do not agree that telegram is a trash, because it is one of my best applications that I use to know updates about projects and learn new news about crypto, and it is not fair to say it is a trash because of scam channels and groups, or because of the large number of scammers on it, this is not its fault and the telegram is making every effort to make their community safe.

You can't blame them if they think that telegram is trash. Because they were many fraudulent scenarios that happen on telegram and this is very prone to scam or something like to say, telegram is a house of scammers and hackers. This is actually good for the crypto industry because telegram is a part of decentralization, you don't need to submit a real name and real photo but it is easy to communicate others, so meaning to say, it's your diligence to have research first before dealing with someone on the internet.

Yes just like uniswap you cannot control who signs up for telegram and ask them for Kyc. It's in the hands of the users to be aware that there are scams happening and no legitimate team will ask for money through DM.

[Josefjix]

Your observation is good but it is not logical enough. Telegram isn't trash, you highlighted some of the things done by the community members which make up of the bounty hunters and airdroppers. They creat awareness for projects derive traffic and Investors. It is an open market where emotions lead people into investment. So you can't come out of the blue sky and say the entire telegram ecosystem is trash. It is so so uncalled for.

There is basically no Crypto project without a Telegram community. Even if it is not a group for open discussion, it could be a channel to pass information across. A lot of people got to know cryptocurrencies through telegram.

This is the old trick and numerous people would have fall for it. Just better to stay away from any such group where losing chances are much more than making any money from joining those groups. Feels bad at point that people lose out money to such thing and hope that new beginners would be careful with such things.

[darkphoenix2610]

I don't agree with you on this thing. Telegram is very useful for crypto project. It is being used as the communication tool for every project new or old. In telegram users and investors can forward their concerns easily. The project itself also use telegram to give their new updates.

[Iyeman]

i hope telegram can be decentralised soon!
Way too many rules!

lol no way anytime soon. some people are not monk who don't get too fond with money you know. By the way there's already plenty of decentralied communication platform like telegram but no one controls it but most of people still use telegram because they just find it more convenient than learning to use new app that's actually beneficial for them long term.

[aemma]

Aside Telegram platform is there any other platform that connects users and project owners easily? I don't think so. Although Discord is there, but yet people find it extremely easy to be on telegram than Discord, therefore I won't be mistaken for saying telegram is user-friendly. Also, the issue of bad groups on telegram is not capable enough to outweigh the importance and usefulness. So I would say, if a telegram group or channel is not serving the purpose you joined it, you can easily exit, and probably if it is a project you have invested in, you can also consider selling it off, so that you won't have anything taking you back to the group. But for being useful and Important, Telegram is.
