Telegram is trash

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!

Yeah Telegram groups are pretty trashy at this point, I mean those who are devoted to one project.
Crypto related communities in telegram are fairly better than most of crypto related forums, for instance

Yes this is very agreeable knowing for a fact that I have joined several telegram bounties and airdrop but turns out to be fake and bogus telegram channel it is just a waste of time and effort in my part and also to several hunters who used to always participate in an airdrop or bounty project in the telegram.

[Emitdama]

maybe even not only on telegram but on some other social media as well. it's just that the telegram channel can be a spam nest because it's easy to set up. I mean, creating spam groups is easy and it is this convenience that makes people abuse telegram channels for negative things.

Because Telegram allows group owners to allow remove/add members and delete their messages without any explanation and you can add unlimited botted members to your telegram channel and there is no way to know how many bots are warning the channel because we cannot view members in the channel (in group we can but not in channels).

But I hardly ever invest looking at telegram groups and the fake hype created by them so I am not fooled because OI do my own due diligence and a scam project is really easy to detect if you do your own research and do not allow others to manipulate your decisions.

I have joined thousands of groups on telegram and 70% of the groups I follow lead to scams. better more selective which group we want to join so as not to lose time and thoughts.

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

as I know Telegram is decentralized!! it depends on the group maker that makes the rules. cmiiw

telegram has a lot of features and one can easily use the telegram channel to commit fraud. Not surprisingly, I often encounter several types of fake airdrop bots, high giveaway offers, fake members and many other negative things. I'm not saying that telegram is trash, it's just that telegram is a hotbed of fraud.

Telegram has the haters, and these are mostly people, who were unhappy to meet scammers there. These things happen a lot (on YouTube, WhatsApp, Instagram). The presence of several dishonest people (or even groups) will not affect my attitude towards Telegram. A bunch of crypto traders can communicate easily there and share info.

Telegram is a very important social media tool for third world countries, look at Russia and Belarus. The mentioned countries have blocked all access to social media and VPN ports have been disabled during the political aggression by governments. Russia alone has banned more than 1 million IP addresses but Telegram was the only messenger that worked flawlessly. Using the proxy and sharing the proxy address lists(MtProxy Telegram groups) combines the security + influence power of social media together, of course, this is just only technical side.

[forexandcryptoauditor]

it is true. To speak the truth, you may get banned. Many community members do not ask questions because they want their rewards and just asking logical questions, they won't see that group again. Also, to attract new members, so much hype created like nothing in the world is as profit-making as their project.

Honestly, you see most times I find that place so annoying at a point I decided not to open it for week, the only reason why I go to Telegram on a daily basis is because of Bluzelle I need to be updated on daily because where your money is there you heart is, yes Telegram is trash but we will continue managing it since there's no better place for now.

Telegram is a good platform to know the latest news about the project.

So if you are following or investing in a project its a must to have a TG. Though make sure to only follow their legit channel because many scammers are also present there.

[puremage111]

I think the statement is a little bit biased and unfair for Telegram

Telegram is a tool for communication, it is design for people to have conversations and group chat
It is not made to be  "Find your ticket to the moon investment"

It is just that people are using it as a spamming tool to scam/lure people into dead pools of scam
People need to learn and read instead of just giving out private keys, or even invest into some random project that they don't even have a hindsight of it

[Romanianz]

it's not all telegram group are trash, find something unique about it,
FYI we can develop bot in the telegram, take the good not the shit

[Shasha80]

It is true that today many scammers use telegram to cheat. Like promoting shitcoins, spreading FUD, offer investments
by promising double profits, make donations to fake charities, give trading pump and dump signals, fake giveaways and
other negatives. With all the things I mention making telegrams like trash. Even though it's not the fault of the Telegram
platform, what makes telegram look like trash is the users themselves. Not using the telegram function properly.

Therefore, it is very important to choose useful friends or groups, because for me telegram is not trash. With telegram I get
the latest information about the development of the crypto market, I can also communicate with the bounty manager, and on
telegram I was able to create a group among the Crypto community.

[Beyerd17]

Telegram itself is not trash, there might be a ton of crap Telegram groups, but that does not mean that Telegram is trash. Would be like saying Facebook or Twitter is trash just because there are a lot of trash groups on those that isn't worth following, that's just silly in my opinion.

[pokeronlinestatus]

I actually stopped using telegram because there are so many spam messages once you join a group people will flood you with offers and 99% of them are scammers and I actually get tired blocking them so imagine how many of them are there.

The worst thing is that they would not scam you directly, they will always ask you sweet questions like "How are you doing" and after having a chat with for 10 mins you realize you were chatting to a scammer and how those 10 mins they wasted are not coming back.

It is just too easy for group admins to create positive hype around their project as they can hire puppet accounts and spam positive messages while having the ability to delete messages always allow them to delete the negative and genuine criticism.

I gave up on Telegram in 2018 or thereabouts,,, you see it used to be an actually good place to follow updates and catch up with things but then the era of bounty hunters arrived in 2016/17/18 and then it was nothing but flooding of "wen list" and "where my tokens" and you know it is in real life just a handful of people in fact. Not even real people just one guy controlling 20 or 30 accounts.

Then the spam and adds. Crypto is so toxic when you allow it to invade your phone.

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

Telegram is not trash, the users in it are trash and I'm agree with you when you say that is full of scammers, bots and fake accounts that ask to you to invest in projects that don't exist!

[Salauddin1994]

There are various unscrupulous individuals who do not trash the telegrams who create rubbish by spreading their influence over the telegrams the various individuals or groups that handle telegrams turn them into trash and turn them into scams. Also access the Telegram screen related to the conversation and then start using the service crypto is helpful in exchanging information between different social media telegram services.

[GeorgeJohn]

I do not think calling all members trash or crap is the right thing to do especially if you are the community manager.
These telegram groups represent the projects communityand there are many newbies and passionate investors that want to see price to grow quickly and there's nothing wrong in it.

Yeah, you are making sense via your point's, calling members a trash is not ideal because some new user who are two weeks old in community can equally adopt or emulate such usage of terminology thinking is the best way for discussion not knowing it's wrong aspect of communication in the society.
I believe everyone knows what is obtainable to avoid degradation in all ramifications of the society.

Yes i agree with it, lets not generalized all of the telegram users as a trash. Maybe its team behind has not been yet figured out the best out of telegram and hasn't harnessed what other capabilities telegram may offer in the world of digital currency. It so happened that the passionate newbies willing and eager to learn about discussion wasn't in the right page of discussion hoped that they can find a way to get in the right page of discussion for them to grow more in the world of digital currency.

Well, if someone on the streets in real life came up to you and started talking to you without any "reason" for it, it usually is because they want something from you, either money or your support for their cause. It's like getting spam mail in your mailfolder, hard to stop, just need to block them.
