Telegram is trash

[Beyerd17]

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.

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.

Telegram nowadays is not all that trash because there are still members in the telegram who are still true to their group and don't have any negative intentions. It will only be a trash once you have joined a group who are only there to scam others with their sweet words at first and finally starting to steal money from other members particularly those who are still newbies in crypto. We should still be careful and cautious everytime.

I dont think it is safe not to be on telegram or twitter if you are in cryptocurrency. The 2 are the most active form of communication for cryptocurrency enthusiast, the competition in the space demand lots of development from most competiting project. So it is important to get those information early to save most of the token. However, bitcoin enthusiast may not need telegram at all but altcoin investors really need it

This is the wisest opinion. Telegram is an active forum that is widely used by project developers to gather their strengths. Many advantages, with a large number of members, bot features that are used to make it easier for managers, etc. As with most, telegrams are also used by scammers to set traps. The key is in each of us to create a filter. There is nothing wrong with telegram, it all depends on the user. I think.

Telegram is thrash if you entertain people there about there offer and you are in a wrong project, but telegram is important to get an update on project that we have invested and promoted, not everything on telegram are thrash but there are a lot of scammers here, you should know how to pick the right group.

[seoincorporation]

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.

The tons of crap groups made it trash... Some people see it as a good opportunity to make business, but that social network is now full of scammers and shit coins. Tons of scammers getting on groups to attack their users. I feel isn't a social network that worth to be on.

[Pgilbert]

Instagram is still the best app for messaging now, whatsapp is far worst and don't have many good options like we have on telegram, it's good to make some good privacy settings and all will be ok.

I somewhat agree with the above. Telegram is not all trash, there are many groups which are useful not only to potential investors but to newbies also.

Do not let a few bad experiences from some groups put you off from potentially forming more connections and getting more knowledge.

The key is to weed out spam groups, and only keep those that you think give you value. For instance, many projects are launching their public token sales on telegram, so it would be silly to miss put on similarly great things - don't you think?

The rate of spamming on telegram is so high and worrisome. They really need to weed out spam groups out.

Why do you say that Instagram is the best application for messaging? Are there features on Instagram messages that other apps don't have? because I personally who have been using Instagram for the last 4 years don't find anything amazing on Instagram, so I still love to use telegram when it comes to messaging.

this is just an echo chamber

And what is the difference between telegram and all other sources of information? Anyway, collecting your pool of sites and sources, you will inevitably find yourself in the same echo chamber in which you will read that "BTC is about to go to the moon and you need to buy now!!».
It doesn't matter if it's a telegram, a paid subscription to specialized publications, or a quick look at pseudo - news from the conditional CNBC. All these are the same echo chambers just under a different sauce and no more.

Why blame telegram, when with information influx and propaganda, products are vociferously promoted, which is their right, for the choice, awareness, discrimination, still remain individual and decisive.

[TIDOVEE]

It's not on all projects telegram that has positive comments, instagram wouldn't make it better since it will carry a project and the same set of people in the telegram will still be on instagram with the same mind,Let's look at it in the direction of the fact that most people on that media are their to support the project. If the project is not doing well, don't dull, there will be negative comments.telegram has created an avenue for good rapor with the project officials.

Yes, it is very inappropriate to blame Telegram, because they provide applications that can be used by everyone in terms of messaging needs and others depending on our individual needs, and for matters because of the easy occurrence of fraud or other, it is because we are easy to believe in things we still don't know, so it's illogical for someone to blame telegram.

People often bash telegram for these groups because the fact that telegram takes minimal steps to control such groups and scams that happen over the telegram right now. There has been a feature which is long criticized, which is the ability to delete messages from anyone in the group which kills the concept of real messages and criticism in the group.

Similarly people can start conversation with anyone and then just delete all the conversation from both sides which actually makes it feel like telegram is made for scammers.

Telegram is indeed very easy to use and provides good functions but the problems and the scams that happen over telegram often over shadows the good it provides.

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.     

[djmixen]

Correction Telegram is not trash, this apps is just an instrument most often to scam the community in cryptocurrency that's the truth.
Telegram has nothing to do with it. So better to be careful in participating in a telegram that is using bot especially if it is an airdrop program. Because believe me it not all of them are not really paying or giving the rewards.

Well both kind of groups exists and if you among those where good discussions are done and healthy environment is maintained then you are really lucky because almost all of the groups right now are made for a particular purpose which is to promote something or just pure scam people.

I recently saw there were some carding groups where they were selling game hacks and actually I was interested but then it turned out that they are only scamming and after scamming they would remove the user from the group so he cannot say anything against them.

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.

That's true but the problem is that anyone can message anyone on telegram unlike facebook where we have to get an approval before we disturb or scam anyone which is annoying.

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.

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.

[Upgate]

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
