Back in 2017, many ICO projects pride themselves of having one of the biggest telegram community. Some of them would market it as a proof or sign that many investors believe in their project. People who have been around all know that most members there are airdrop/bounty hunters who only joined to qualify for the reward.
I also saw one
post earlier asking for telegram group members and one of the condition the buyer posted is that it "needs to look real".
Anyway, this post is just a reminder to beginners in crypto. We don't want you to fall for these tricks to lure you into investing into their projects.
This was the trend in 2017, i remember
Bitcoin White (BTW) Now
BitWhite was among the first Cryptocurrency Project to break the 100K Mark in telegram group member, making telegram itself to improve on their platform. It was so nice that they (BTW) have to create other telegram communities as an extension of the main group. But it is what it is as this doesn't guarantee the success of any project. The community is probably filled up with much
BOTs,
Airdroppers and
Bounty Hunters who are in for their reward for carrying out some task. Another then was
Rebellious (REBL), but i doubt if these project still exist till date as the developers might have probably abandon the project and run another.
The Crypto space have really seen a lot of Good side and Bad Side as well and telegram member doesn't in any way ensure the success of any project out there. Let keep watching this out and hope the best will come some day.
