Telegram is trash

[ipanks]

In as much as i agree with you to some level, i still believe those telegram group represent the company advertising channel and the only such of first hand information directly from the team. And at that the community will be monitored as much as possible and only positive feedbacks are welcome but in must cases the hype are too much and at the end the project may not perform up to expectations due to too much hype.

Yes, and each telegram group can represent the advertising channel of all companies, so at this time it is often used by scammers to make good feeds for everyone, so some people get caught up in this too.

But unfortunately, since a few years ago, when the ICO is booming, many people got scammed from telegram because many projects require people to join their telegram channels. So they joined in many projects at the telegram. Suddenly, many projects become a scam, and they can not get the answer at the telegrams. That still happens nowadays, but this time, it seems, people are aware of such thing so they can be careful.

I agree that due to the large number of bounty, you have to join even more channels in Telegram. This creates a lot of trash in your chat lists. It pisses me off. Very often, in these chats, the really necessary information cannot be found, only bots and fake accounts.

i dont think Telegram is trash, although its funny how you find yourself in some unwanted group but still okay for this coins updates and bot messengers reply are always on point .....
Telegram is not a total trash

I already learned my lesson, I also came from telegram, hunting some good investments, I've seen lots of crappy channels and groups relating on crypto trading and signals. In my opinion, we should not trust our investments on these kind of community, Telegram is mostly used by fraudsters, so it's not safe as so not guaranteed good environment.

I am not going back again in telegram, unless there are necessary task that should be done there. Just avoid crypto groups shits, but if you happen to find good one, that will be great.

If we use everything that was made for, then the problem is solved. Why will anyone invest by following any telegram announcement? We know how telegram groups scam with investors. Telegram is just a medium to communicate with the admin team to solve your problem. We shouldn't take any decisions by telegram, just follow their announcements.

Silly ass shit

Truth to be told that is true for any social media platform as well, people already have the tendency to socialize with those that hold the same values and ideas that they have and when you add a financial incentive then this becomes even more pronounced, after all who wants to listen they are investing in a bad coin with high probabilities that is going to crash and produce no profits? No one I suppose.

And when you add as well that developers do everything to hype their coins then it is obvious why they will ban from their telegram channels anyone that dares to speak against the project.

Sometimes it's very annoying for some telegram group that didn't give a quality update ,instead of updating people there, only the bots answering and making spam in a telegram chat. But not all telegram group is not good because telegram is also one way of communication between the project and investors, Bounty manager and hunters. So, Telegram is not a trash. It a channel of information, it's up to you if you want to join a trash telegram group or not. Just choose the group that can give you satisfaction regarding some projects or news channel about crypto signals or whatever.

Should we blame telegram for all those shit things, advertisements, and also scam information?
It is like we are blaming all social media where we can use it for positive and negative sides. but yeah, everyone has their own thing and I don't think so.
The ways you get from telegram will depend on the way you do and believe in telegram.
To avoid all the bad things from telegram, we need our effort to do some analysis. that is why we have our ways to learn it.
- Filter all information coming from a telegram
- Never believe so easily
- never only follow the other members do on telegram
- Never join any airdrop or gift rewards from telegram if it is not officially announced in the official channel of certain projects.

This has been like that for a while now, I know people are not realizing it when they are too much involved themselves but in reality telegram groups have always been filled with really bad type of people.

You go to any big group and there are people who spam you, they keep creating accounts as well so blocking them or reporting them do not work neither, there are tons of people who think they are the greatest investor ever and suggest coins like you have to listen to them or you are an idiot, there are people who got to become an admin which made them so snobbish that being admiring there equals king of all crypto in their mind and expect total respect and dominance, there is tons of horrible people there all around and I would suggest just have one with few of your friends and that's it.

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

I often feel the same, especially if i have a genuine concern or question and while i am waiting for official help or reply i start getting DMs either by private people who want me to invest in their ponzi or DM by people that are faking the team or admins where i have asked the question and they will in the end ask you to send money to their ethereum wallet to solve all your problems, I used to talk a bit from these people initially but now i either ignore them completely or instantly block them.

I like telegram groups only because i get instant updated and directly can ask questions and get answers.
Othet than that telegram is full of scammers, spammers, fraudsters and i would say thieves. There should be some way to auto block such people.

[Insomnia family]

you are right, I often observe that most of the community in the telegram project always talk that the project coin will go to the moon. I don't know what they have in mind but still that this is a form of project promotion as well. and even I wasn't sure if the people there were real.

[forexandcryptoauditor]

Seems it is very easy to manage telegram and community. I see hundreds of K users in the project group bu only a handful of them are active. Before ICO or IEO there is too much happening on the group and after its over, sounds like everyone is on vacation

It could result to bad perception about the situation of the project. Telegram admins should be active to communicate and give updates to the current situation of the project. Its good to see that there a lot of good feedback about the project via telegram  and other social media. It will help to promote the project. The more social media platform that they can participate, the more possible supporters that could get.

Many telegram groups are not active users because they are randomly added to expand the community, only 10% of active users are found without good analytical knowledge and they always predict that they will go to the moon when it is the opposite.

[contraband]

What are you exactly pertaining about? The messaging app itself or the projects with telegram channels that you joined in? Be precise because many will contradict you (seems obvious actually). If you had a bad experience on such projects then get mad on those projects not on the medium . If I were you, I will move on once and for all and avoid investing in new tokens. That's the key I think.

I'm moving past Telegram as much as possible.

Telegram for talking about collecting lizards,  or talking about different kinds of cooking recipes..etc.... Maybe

...but for crypto? Telegram is trash

The actual platform itself is not doing crypto or the <legit> projects that use it any favors. They may think so.. But the whole this is a cheerleader echochamber created based on censoring critical points of view and banning those that want honest discussion.

This may seem like a win to a project, because it's "all good", but long term, I think it's bad.

Look at Avalanche... Arguably the most groundbreaking project since Ethereum....which enjoys support from Chainlink, and even Vitalik himself....with a 100% censored circle jerk telegram.

And this is par for the course for 99% of projects Telegram groups....like I said... This even affects AVAX

Telegram is the most important part, that represent the project as well as helps new comers by giving information about their project. Updates & verious news will be fould there. but it's true that, nowadays most of project add fake users on their telegram channel so that they could draw investors attention on their project & easily scam their fund. So People Should be aware of them

yes right, I realized that and this is also not much different like an ICO manufacturing service. So, the reason why I'm not surprised if an active user telegram or a project has tens of thousands of members is because behind the scenes it is a paid member or a fake bot member.

It's always like that I think its for advertisement and to give good impression to investors or probably they requesting it on their bounty campaign since telegram is one of the channels that needs to be active I think all the projects does have this kind of channel good project and bad projects they're mostly the same in my observation or maybe i just don't see some other groups.

[Bitcoin577]

Currently most of scammers using this platform for scams and cheats just because of this I also feel its going to be like a trash because few days back I create new account within very short time I have very long list of scammers those want to chat me about this projects and other stuff we need some changes in this if these can happen then surely this can go good in near future.

It would be suspicious that a certain project would just ask out for positive sentiments and that would really create some friction if one of the participants would really talk about it and
the team wont really like that.
Why not just think that they had moderators that do clean up any negative words towards the project? One thing though about requirement  is on being active on the group which isnt surprising
and that what makes them more legit but the real thing that they are just trying to mask out for their scam.

You would really expect those random message from someone about investment or whatsoever because they have already scammed or fool out people on using this method.
They might be obvious but there are still people who are really that dumb that do easily believe into these cheap tricks.

Scammers will lurk out into places on where they can really make out money on deceiving people.Telegram had infested lots of scammers and been commonly used messaging platform
for most project.It might not be 100% scam projects but i say it is on 98% and only few are legit ones.
