My position with Telegram ICO is contrarian. I think it will be massively successful and actually makes sane investment right now. Telegram is a defacto standard app for any Crypto user and integrating crypto makes total sense. Native crypto integration changes the telegram app into the largest crypto platform. Too bad they decided to do an ICO, as it would be much better for the ecosystem to integrate Bitcoin or Eth (see status.im). But why do that when you can get a cool couple of B and roll your own.

How are they going to make money? Telegram users aren't like friends in the real world who send money to each other.

  You're saying the small groups or direct messages are a small fraction of the users ?

Investing in high-profile ICOs is just about the worst investment advice, similar to investing in cryptocurrencies when you hear about new records on CNN. At that point only the suckers invest, while the smart investors (like the ones who invested in the pre-sale and pre-pre-sale in Telegram) will start cashing out.
