I have witnessed almost 5 consecutive ICOs that is a hyped ICOs and also sponsored a bounty campaign with big rewards goes way below ICO price. The ICO have a lot of potentials to have a high price. But when the time comes when the ICO concluded and when the time comes when it hit on the first exchange the price really dips hard. Is bounty hunters one of the cause of the price dip?

Bounty hunter only few of them. Since you know the bounty amount aren't too big (mostly it's 1,2, or 4 % from total supply).
Early investors, who bought token at private and pre-sale with big bonus causing that. They dumped all of their token including the bonus on market

some investors say "that bounty hunter is the heaviest killer of ICO", i think the reason is too cruel and disparaging bounty hunters, prizes from some hunters, if they sell tokens they can, just make not much money.

Why blame bounty hunters generally? there are a lot of stakeholders in this market or in every project, and all of them are potentially able to cause the dip.
Also as been stated by Numanoid, bounty allocations distributed to hunter are not that representative of the most part of it.
So I believe all are liable and potentially suspect. Not just bounty hunters.

I don't think so.
Most of the time, the bounty thread proportion is very low, so can't affect the entire market, is the price of the token to fall, more reason could be because people lose confidence in the tokens,

I think bounty is not a problem at all. Most of the projects are allocating very small percentage as bounty. therefore that small fraction couldn't do nay influence to the price movement. Besides bounty campaigns are based on real work. Either marketing on social media translation ,etc. Therefore the project team can save lot of money on their marketing campaign by allocating small amount as bounty.
Besides most of the bounty campaign tokens will be distribute after the ICO and most probably after they distribute the tokens for the investors.

Ah yeah! Off course hunters are the reason as to why most of the ICO come out as shit prices. Actually not suddenly but eventually after they get listed on the exchangers. I mean when it comes to the exchanger then they set the ICO price to the coins but obviously all the hunters start selling the coins to that price immediately as they have to loose nothing but to earn more and more with this sells. So they mass dump it and thus they make the ICO price to drop eventually. Its hard to believe but that is what always happens.

I tend to agree with those that lay most of the blame on weak handed bounty hunters.  They're the ones constantly badgering the Telegram channel admins with the stupid "when exchange" questions.  (As if they haven't all been told repeatedly that those questions can't be answered because of NDA with the exchanges)

Some say that it only represents up to 5% of the tokens for any given project, and that couldn't explain the dip.  Have you looked at the volume? Sure, there may be a few early investors selling off their bonuses, but I think most of those sales as bounty hunters.

could be so. because often, after the ICO project ended, and many bounty participants are incorporated. So after the distribution will be a lot of direct selling. And it affects the market, many who sell the price can go down. That is why campaign managers, limiting or more selective in selecting bounty participants.

The main cause of ICO dip is their team who want some easy money and doesn't care about the project or community, just as always

Yeah,  I think it also affects Ico price as the hunters will wanna take profits instantly and leave the project thereby causing huge amount of dump to the coin,  although the exchange that such Ico will list to also affects the price,  if it's a shit exchange it will affect the price  negatively svd if it's a good exchange it affects the price in a good manners

You need to expand all the projects individually. There are bad projects where there was a great reward there, of course, the bounty hunters are guilty of collapsing the price, and if the project is cool, but it has fallen, it's not because of bounty hunters, there are a number of other reasons.

Probably yes bounty make the price dip. But not all bounty hunters sell immediately there token after they recieve. There are just some people dont care what ico goals.

Indeed most of the time bounty hunters dump the coins they earn from participating in projects as soon as the coin is listed which lead to price dip. Sometime they don't even care whether the coin has potential or not, they just dump it.
You will have to wait for the price to go up in order to get profit. It can take a few months sometimes.

bounty hunters are affecting the market but without bounty and airdrops they cant do mass adoption.

Most of bounty hunters and early investors don't want wait any additional day when the coin is on the exchange, that's why the price falls. Otherwise, if early investors are focused on long-term, than we can see more interesting start of trading.

Even if bounty percentage allocated is 5%, can the 5% tokens swallow up all the remainder of the investors tokens. I don't think so. Those who got big bonus of 20% and over alone can sink the whole coin volume by dumping it. Bounty participants are those that even keep the coins, hoping it will moon for them to have success.

In my opinion, bounty hunters are not the cause of the token price of the ICO token or coin. Coin or token owners are many who can do it, while most bounty hunters have some just because the allocation for bounty percentage is only a little.

Many interested people in a certain token. And there are different tokens that carry the success of sales. But hunters are the only people who just can offer the same tokens at low prices.

No, it's not. All bounty hunter doesn't run for a pizza money. Most of them keep their coin hold for the good profits. I think those dumpers are the Pre ICO Investors. Who got 20-75% extra and then they dump the coins by selling low price. It's not the bounty hunters fault. But, if the projects are relly good then price will recover very soon. Don't worry about it mate.

I think bounty hunters have little impact on the price of ico tokens. If we carefully observe that the tokens distributed by bounty missions only account for 5%-15% of the total, even lower! If 1,000 people participate in this project, then each bounty hunter's reward will be as low as 0.1%! How does such a low holding rate affect prices?

I do not think that bounty hunters, as it can affect the price of the coin, a large devastation will affect the big bonuses on the ico, if the project is really good, then no one will sell their coins very low.

With bounty hunters there is a little problem. Once they receive most of the bounty hunters will sell of once they receive tokens. Due to this the price will come down.
But bounty tokens are not so huge tokens, and one more reason is the market is also falling.

For starters, a large amount of bitcoin has been sold by the Japanese crypto exchange ie Mt. Gox. In an official document issued by them, the objective is to completely liquidate the remaining assets, Where the BTC and BCC worth $ 404 million have been sold at a price lower than the current market price.
However, the movement has triggered a sharp decline in the value of Bitcoin followed by almost all of the top 100 cryptoes in coinmarketcap.
Another suitable reason for this is the recent announcement made by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), in which all initial coin offers (ICOs) on their respective platforms must register with the agency, or simply cancel list. This is in line with the harsh attitude of the commission that was adopted against ICO, because of the large number of fraud cases, due to the lack of regulation on this issue.

Some like to blame bounty hunters for the dip in price after the ico but pre-sale investors get a huge discount and they can make an easy profit on a quick sale. Also the project managers need to cash out to start the project with usable funds

I agree with the second comment, the rewards for bounty campaigns are just a small percentage of the total. In the same way,  a large part of this small percentage, simply sells their tokens and this ends up influencing the price of the currency. I'm going to get paid for some campaigns, and the tokens for the bounty hunters were frozen for two months. This claims that the hunters sell desperately but also claims that they are not entirely to blame for the falling prices. Let's continue growing in this world to continue generating criteria. Good post

The blame should not be put on the bounty hunters alone because most people who bought the coin from pre-sale dump the coin quickly when it hit exchanges and I don't think some bounty would be happy to have coin that be valueless when the big investors keep dumping... Nobody wants to carry last.

What size of pool for bounty hunters should be to bring down the cost of the token after the ICO? Rather, it's the bloated price of a token, too much discount for whales, and little demand for tokens.

Bounty reward might be one of the reasons for the decreasing of coin price (many people get it after joining bounty campaign and they sell it for money or other coins -> supply increase while demand still remain the same-> price falling). However, some projects did not pay bounty campaign for weeks but their coin still decrease the its price. So I think it has the other reasons also.

Every bounty hunter has it's own rules, so I can't say for everyone, but as for me I don't hurry to sell all my bounty tokens right after the distribution. Usually I wait for a good price and in some cases I can even hold them for a month of two if a project has good prospects. But I agree that usually we can see a dump after bounty distribution, But I don't see any problem here, it's just another opportunity to buy tokens cheaper.

Yes if bounty rewards has pay out after ico at start,then bounty hunters dump all the project down for they rewards.I dont do like this i participate in projects what i like and be honest,im chill-hodl!

Yeah they are one of the dumper but usually bounty hunters only hold 1-2% of coin sold so they can't be the only reason for massive dump in price of ico tokens. Most of the pre-ico investors who have bought coins at heavy discount will dump their tokens because they can easily double their money just after ico. Also few members from the team might sell their portion to buy new car or roam around the world after a long busy work schedule during ICO. ;)

I've been thinking about this for so long. But as for me i think it's true that the cause of price dip of ico could be probably because of the bounty hunters. Because some bounty hunter do sell out there tokens immediately received. Which is not suppose to be so.

I don't think Bounty hunter cause the price drop, because it is a very small percentage of the coin which bounty hunter get, and it can't dictate a coin price unless the company offer 20% coin to bounty hunter :)

I do not think that bounty hunters are so critical to the price of the token!
Most likely it's the marketing of the project and the community

A bounty hunter is a helper in the rise of a ico, he can never be the cause of failure or low price of the coin, a bounty hunter helps the ico for advertisement of project and product of the company as per mu view a bounty hunter helps in selling the coins of a company so bounty hunter can never be an obstacle in the growth of ico.

I do not think that bounty hunters can greatly influence the fall in ICO prices. Because ICO campaigns give bounty hunters not much reward. When they discard their earned coins, the price does not fall so much.

Bounty hunters only contribute a small portion in price deep. Remember that normal % of bounty tokens are usually 2-3%. Majority of the dump are came from investors and not all bounty hunters are dumping their bounty. Like me I usually wait for a year or more before I sell it to have a better chance of more profit.

I completely agree with you, because on Bounty companies are allocated a very small percentage compared to the basic number of coins issued. It seems to me To avoid problems with falling prices, you need to block for a time tokens after distribution.

People always saying that bountyhunters are responsible for dumping some coin. But they never wanted to blame early investors, that selling their coins immediately. Bountyhunters have only 1-5% of their all market cap.

not sure about it.
in my opinion,big bonus from ico sale are the big trouble.
in this cases,
let we say,some big whales invest huge amount on some ico.
then he get biggest bonus,
then after listed to market,
he can easy manipulated about price.
and the bounty hunter just following what the whales do.

At the first glance, it seems that yes, they are. For example, several days ago Amon was giving away its bounty payments, which immediately caused in a terrible price dump (-50%) just in two or three hours. But let's look deeper, it wasn't a problem caused by bounty hunters only, the real problem is a low trading volume. If a volume is high, it's really difficult to dump or pump a price, but if it is low, then even bounty hunters with their 1-2% of the whole token supply can influence the price!
Imagine, if we were talking about Ethereum, could 1% of token holders dump its price so much? I believe that no. So the problem is not just bounty hunters.

I do not think so. Because we have worked very hard through promotional media, etc. sacrificing a lot of time and effort just to meet bounty campaign requirements.
Most of the time, the proportion of bounty strands is very low, so it can not affect the whole market, is the token price falls, more reasons can be because people lose confidence in tokens.

Have you tried to look at the pie chart of most of the ICO?
I think the largest percentage that I have seen for bounties is 2%. Do you really think that could shake the whole value of token of a certain ICO that you are talking about?
It is the investors who may did it. Large whales that just want profit afterwards. If they see a good number and somehow larger than what they paid for then why wait?
This happened mostly in ICO's that hypes on early stage.

Bounty hunters can cause some price reduction at first, but if the token is really worth it and with a strong team, the price doesn't always drop. There are cases that on the contrary. And so can influence the news background.

I think that in actual fact depends on hunters, but not so all cardinally because on bounty stands out only 1-3 percent of all tokens, they can not so drastically move the price!

Not in all cases. Maybe sometimes it happen cause other hunters dump their tokens once it hit the exchange. But sometimes price dip is because of the market itself or even the project. Lack of marketing etc. So price dip shouldnt be always blame on the hunters. Cheers mate!

Bounty hunters have only a minor effect on lowering the price of new tokens that first enter the exchange after the ICO. All members of the generosity of ICO are allocated from one to several percent of the released tokens and this is not enough to sharply lower the price of the new token. In addition, not all participants immediately after the heads rush to sell the received tokens. Investors who buy tokens with bonuses have more opportunities and more material benefits.

Smart investors would never say so, they appreciate bounty hunters even if they dump a price for two main reasons:
1) Opportunity to buy tokens at a very cheap price without KYC or anything like that
2) Creating a high volume which can help to get listed on top exchanges, CMC, etc.

To be frank its not their fault at all! The thing is bounty hunters keep working hard and invest huge time in the advertisement of the ICO projects and aiming them for the great publicity. When it comes to the 4-6 months of hard period of working and waiting patiently then surely bounty hunters will sell everything very fast to get their share (maximum) by the time of coin listing. Its like their payday and thus they dont want to miss it with great profits. I think they are right at what they do and you are also right when you ask that question as an investor. With the current situation that is what it is and right for all of us!

This question has already been raised in this forum. My opinion is that the drop in prices after the IKO is pushed by the primary investors, who immediately after the end try to merge coins with a profit of X1.5-2. And only then the fall is picked up by bounty hunters.

well you can't blame bounty hunters for the dump they are not whales they only have little percentage of tokens and most of the time they don't receive tokens on time and lately few ico's distribute unsold tokens to early investors as bonus so no.1 source of price dump are those people who invest in ico only to get quick gains on their investment and dump the token as soon as it get listed on an exchange.

I think that it's unlikely that bounty hunters can significantly affect the price of tokens, since ICOs usually allocate a maximum of 3% for the bounty of the total amount of tokens, it's too small to affect the price of the token.

I think Yes, many participants of bounty companies sell earned tokens immediately after entering the exchange. But if the project is really good-the price returns quickly.

I think that they are only few of them, since you know the bounty amount aren't too big it cant really make such impact      

Bounty hunters get only a small amount of tokens, this shall not affect the market. Early investors with massive bonus cause the price dip of an ICO. It takes some time to recover the actual price then.

Bounty hunters is not the cause of price dip and the reason why I said so is because I believe it's the investors most of the time, the outrageous bonus they get during ICO is way too much that they can sell far below ICO price and still get good gain but people start to believe that is the bounty hunters dumping which is not always true.

Bounty hunters only contribute a small portion to the price dip. Remember that normally the percentage of bounty tokens allocated  are usually between  2-3% (or even lesser) of the total supply. Majority of the dumps happening  come from investors, especially if large bonuses were given during the presale and not locked for a period of time, then expect to see more dumping after the tokens hit exchanges, we shouldn’t put blame on bounty hunters, cause not even all dump immediately. Like me I usually wait for a year or more before I sell it to have a better chance of more profit, and dumping from a few bounty hunters doesn’t usually affect the price that much.

I think that is just a small reason. The percentage of bonus campaigns is usually only a fraction.
Most of the prices are affected when the new bounty hunters receive and they decide to sell off. But then prices will stabilize.
I think you have chosen ICO that have no future.

If bounty hunters after receiving tokens begin to sell them at once massively, then the price may fall, but not for long.

For prospective projects, the value of the coin should still grow at times from the price of ICO

That bounty hunters have a coin that has just been listed does nit mean that they will cause the dip or that they are the main cause of dip on coins. I have seen situations, where coins got dip despite bounty hunters not given I believe some investors can also do the same, buy selling below ICO price just because they got enough bonus.

Yes, somebody really think so? It can be one of the reasons, but if you start to research you will find early investors with huge bonuses or even sometimes ICO project which is buying his tokens back but cheaper then sell. I saw projects with so small bounty ammount which could not influence on token price, but it dips more then half ICO price. And yesterday my friend told me that he was talking with one project CEO before and he told him they would buy their tokens back. But why should they do it by ICO price? First dump, then buy. Double profit.

I adhere to the fact that bounty hunters affect the price at the initial stage. When a hard cap is not reached (this often happens), then no investors before listing on the exchange. And on the exchange, new tokens are bought by small investors and traders. Not always, even 1% of ICO tokens that they can absorb.

A lot of bounty hunters after receiving the award sell everything on the exchanges because thats why the price of the coin falls sharply, and it needs some time to recover

Yes,but it is the market in the first place,the growing market will continue to grow,and now Bautista were called their tokens,and the market drops,and they realize that leak now they will fall further and can be datacubes as not to slay them,others will merge, and the price is still uletit the bottom,so as of now purchasing any is not present,volumes and market place,and giving Bautista of course almost enough to lower the price of neskollko times

When you enter the exchange, the price of the token will take a little bit and this is a normal situation if there was a bounty campaign. But if the team will develop its product, this will necessarily lead to an increase in the price of the token.

Hello, I think the bounty hunter is not one of the causes for the discount, if they are influential, just a little bit! Because you know, usually the budget for bonuses is just 1% to 5% of their total supply and not all bounty hunters sell the token after the ICO. You should consider to other case!

Once the token has been launched to the exchange then next day or after it soon. Most of bounty hunters will be start selling their tokens with the panic about the price in next few weeks or month of time mate.
I really do not like that kind of act from the bounty participants and as well as price drop in the market too on that coin.

Personally price drop we cannot blame completely on the participants but participants we can say them still.

I think that is not always true, because if compared with total coin sold during ICO, the coin that is reserved for bounty campain is only a little, about under 5%. So it does not significantly decrease the coin price caused by the bounty hunter.

Some say that, With the large number of participants selling tokens from ICO the price directly down because the bounty participants sell simultaneously or with large quantities. I think the allocation of bounty is only 1-2% and with such an allocation it is unlikely that ICO prices fall because bounty participants are selling their tokens.

yes, bounty hunters give the effect of fall the price. but they just a few, not all bounty hunters sell their token instantly after they receive. There are some people don't care what ico goals. Sometimes they don't even care whether the coin has potential or not, they just dump it.

Actually what bounty Hunter's get is just 1% or 2% of the token issued from ICO, so even all bounty Hunter's sell their token it is just a small percentage from the ico .

do you actually believe in that?
you mean the price dump in bitcoin is also cause by bounty hunters which most of the time their payment is delayed and some are reduced and some icos dont even pay the 1%-2% they promised.

bounty hunters get only a small percentage of the total sales compared to investor. the one affecting the price the most is the project. coins without demand will get its price lower and lower. if you say it has potential then sooner its price will recover.

Yes. The price is falling because of them. all tokens are released at the same time. bounty awards need to be released late.

I don't think it's all the bounty hunters fault. Some are ICO participants too, the bonuses they get will be dump to some exchanges to get some profit. All they go all in to dumping getting a little profit in it. 

Some investors consider bounty hunters to be ICO's most important killer, but the share of bounty hunters is only 1-2 percent of the total.

And not all bounty hunters throw them back when they trade on the token.

So I don't think the bounty hunter is the main reason for the decline of ICO.

I think if I do not think so because the gift is not a problem at all. Most projects allocate a very small percentage as a gift. therefore small fractions that can not affect the influence of price movements. the project team can save a lot of money on their marketing campaigns by allocating small amounts as a gift. besides that the token price falls, more reasons can be because people lose confidence in the tokens.

Partially I believe it affects but a little bit since the allocation in every bounty is very small percentage. I believe the ones that influence the price most are those private investors who got a lot of discounts and once the tokens hit the market when the price is good they take profits. I'm a bounty hunter but a very patient one, I dont sell below ICO price and I believe in longterm hodling.

It only affect the market because there is a lot of bounty hunters. but it doesnt high affect it, bounty hunters has the most lowest number of coins that is holding. it only holds 1-3% of the coin supply. so I dont think that it will cause something like what the investors think about us.

I think for some reason bounty hunters dumping their token will somehow affect or will have a little effect at the trading price of certain tokens but i believe also another culprit is the bonuses given by the icos. I think if both the bonuses and bounty tokens sold at very low price then it's likely one of the reason that the price will be lower. That's why some of the icos delay the payment or they send the payment of the bounties batch after batch to prevent dump. As you know some of the hunters don't care about the project as long as they sold the tokens then they are out.

I also think like that. Because the bounty hunter sells their tokens at a low price, and that makes the token price fall from the ICO price. Because they sell cheaply too they feel no loss.

A lot of factors causes token price dip,  
most project out there these days lacks a good use case, and a project no matter how hyped it is will dump when listed on exchange because it's aim is for profit making.  
The devs also play a part here too,  i've seen a project which it's token was dumped by the devs on a decentralized exchange when its ico was still on, a lot of dev create projects with profit making oriented mind.
The presale bonuses to big investors also causes dump, because  investor invest to make profit.
So token been distributed to hunters has little effect on the token price since just less than 5% of the token supply is usually been distributed

I think yes, but bounty hunters is needed for the Ico project to finish various important task ,and to advertise the coin, when the ico hit exchanges many bounty hunters will sell the coin, but if your coin got a good potential then there will be alot of new investors and the bounty hunters won't sell all the coin

Most likely the investors are the cost of the dip of some promising ICO, but we can't erase the fact that bounty hunters are also involved on dumping their tokens which could cause the price of token look miserable. But the majority of the dip is because of the investors slash dumpers.

I would say yes, bounty hunter are the main reasons. Most bounty hunters will get their rewards and just dump as if they didn't work for it. And this the reason why ico price go dip when the token is distributed to bounty hunters first

Even bounty hunters sell their earning on ICO it can't put the price down since the allocation for bounty is 1% of the total supply. And I think some of bounty hunters sell only half of their earning token and buy back when the price is lower. I think the big impact of the price dip are the pre-sale investors who got big discount that who sell after the token listed on exchanges. They are the one flip their token when they have good earnings from the pre-sale.

It may just be. But if we see in theory that the allocation for the bounty only minor even of only 5%, of these only give a small influence when it entered the market. so I think even though the distribution of bounty to be done but the effect will not be great. but it can also make sense because of the number of coins that enter the market slightly increased so it affects the price. but it should not influence.

maybe yes, because most of the dumper was a bounty hunter, they sell immediately rewards that they have from bounty campaign and never care that act will make real price drop.

Maybe . And This is one of the reasons the devs team of most ICO projects have come up with a bounty lock after the initial swap or bounty payment later than other investors. Respect the investor in their project. Some bounty participants quickly sold their tokens without recognizing the real value of the effort and not respecting the development of the project.

AFAIK only few percentage goes to the bounty hunters.
If there's a dip after the distribution it can be or it cannot be the fault of the bounty hunters. What you must take a look are those investors who invested big money and has only one thing to do after it gets listed on any exchange and that is they'll sell it quick.

Many beginners blame bounty hunters, but it's not. basically all bounty is allocated 1-2%, of which half will keep, and only a small part will merge all at once.

I do believe bounty will be no hassle in any way. A lot of the jobs are usually allocating tiny proportion since bounty. as a result in which small group could hardly carry out nay effect for the value movements. In addition to bounty promotions derive from genuine perform. Both marketing and advertising about social media marketing translation, and so forth. Which means venture staff can easily help save bundle on their strategy simply by allocating touch since bounty.

It's the whales that making the price dip, they want to brainwash people that bounty hunters are dumping so the price is cheap but actually they make it cheap so they can buy cheap coins when newbie panic. I have been participating in difference bounty, but until now I keep most of my bounty
because I believe the price will recover, although it's just a bounty, but's still an asset.

They are one of the cause but not primarily the cause, those who get a lot of bonus from presale and Ico are the one likely dumping the most since they are the one  selling on profit there are ico with 50% bonus from their presale and if they sell their presale bonus that's pure profit, they only need to keep their shares for future profit.

I have no such thoughts. Bounty hunters are not the cause of the decline in the price of coins or tokens, because even if they immediately sell their tokens or coins after getting it, it will not be a big influence. Tokens or coins owned by bounty hunters are few, even only a few percent are allocated to bounty from a project.

Bounty hunters can never drop the price of a coin if that coin has a strong background. I mean if it's not scam most likely its price won't drop. With a weak coin the situation is opposite.

I tend to think that bounty hunters are just a part of the above-mentioned problem and frankly it is not the most important concern. High early-investors discounts, concentrated token allocation, initial mispricing and poor investor interest are among the other problems.


  

Some say that it represents only up to 5% tokens for a particular project, and that can not explain the deterioration. Have you seen the volume? Sure, there may be some early investors selling their bonuses, but I think most of the sales are as Bounty hunters.

This is a very good question. Last year when I buy coins and all of a sudden it drops so low I worry and ask myself what exactly is happening. Bounty hunters putting so much effort and get paid for it. They actually can drop a price so low to get actual money from the work they did for months this can affect price greatly.

Sadly, I may say yes. Some of the bounty hunters (not all) will sell their token cheaply on the untursted or fork exchange (not in their official exchange of the ICO). the price commonly will be sold very cheap. It can lead the others to sell their coins cheaply. Of course, if it is going on, the price of the token will be dropped easily after the distribution. It really makes sad.

there are many cases when the strong team that keeps this coin in the market and allows it will fall below the price of ICO...bounty hunters may not greatly affect the price,as what would have been the reward for the bounty is still a tiny percentage of the total..

from my experience indeed when the ICO finished when the first exchange rate average is on the down. if the cause I do not know whether it is a market strategy or how. which I certainly see is like that.

Yes some of them, there are many hunters in the bounty who sell their token in the market for easy money.
they are not to support the PROJECT but to earn any amount.
i will admit i am one of the people who sell tokens real quick because i know like me many participants will sell their tokens too.
but i do buy back after the dip, just to maximize my profit.

Certainly not like that. The bounty hunter is quite helpful in the process of the promotion of an ICO project. and I don't think it has anything to do with the weakening of the ICO. Thus should become increasingly strong because a lot of support.

Yes i think they are just one of the reasons why the prices drop, After the reward, most hunters dump the tokens in the market cheaply, Most of he times, cheaper than the ICO price, this greatly affects the  the prices as there will be a large circulation of tokens, with a probably low deman hence a decrease in valuation, If only te bounty hunters were patient enough with their coins, they might just let the the projects develop further

I don't think so because not all bounty hunters are dumpers. Some are very hodlers who value their bounty rewards coming from the time and effort they spend. Once they got the bounty rewards, it seems that these tokens have sentimental value already which they will hodl for a long term. I think it's the pre ICO or ICO investors are the main culprit of that to think that they will earn bonuses when they invest early.

I think they can have some impact but mostly private investor or presale bonus buyers will cause the dip by selling their tokens.

I don't agree with that. I would say I the early investors, private investors, private sales, that dump on the market once it hit exchanges, this guys are not looking for 10x,20x , 2x is okay for them,  cause they play big.

I do not think it's because of the bounty hunters because the bonus is not taking up too much to affect the price. Here there may be price dips to buy from the big investors because they buy at pivate sale has a lot of bonus so the price is lower than the ICO they are still profitable.

Hey Don't blame bounty hunters for this expect more massive investors when they cheap price and get's a lot of %. IF you guys believe bounty hunters dump the market then don't expect a good return about the coins you want to invest.

Not at all, bounty rewards are not that high just like many people think in here, they are good for the project because they bring up a lot of promotion to the entire crowdsale (trust me, it works)

Obviously yes, bounty hunters is one of the reason why the market price of a specific coin is decreasing because they are selling a huge amount of coins they earn from the bounty campaign they have joined previously.

No doubt it's a yes, you want to know why?

Well i'm once a bounty hunter myself and I've been experiencing all the stuffs that's a bounty hunter experiencing so here's the reason why the bounty hunters are the reason why the price of the ICO is dip.

Answer:
The bounty hunter are here to earn, they spend so much time in order to receive a reward and sometimes they a lot of weeks before they can get their reward. Once the bounty hunter receives their reward they have 2 options to choose:

1. Hold it.
2. Sell it.

If they choose to hold it here are their consequences:
1. The price will fall and all the time they spend will be in waste.
2. If the ICO has a potential the time they spend holding it will give them higher profit.

If they choose to sell it:
1. They can get their profit at high
2. If the ICO has a potential they would regret selling it.

However the bounty hunter doesn't care about the project all they want is easy profit so once the token hits the exchange most of them are selling it because they're afraid that soon the token they hold will be useless in the future.

There's a truth into this. Not only bounty hunters but also those who receives airdrops. They, most of the time contribute to the massive dip in prices when launching a coin on the first exchange. They immediately dump the coins that they have for easy money -- a practice that is highly discouraged. If you want to really see the true value of the coin, we still have to wait for at least 3 to 4 months for the dumpers to be diminished and for the prices to pump up.

probably not. The bounty only accounts for a very small part of the total amount of the project, and the distribution of rewards is long after the ico, with a period of one month to three months, so the bounty won't have a big impact on the price.

I do not think ICO prices are down due to bounty hunters. You are also one of the workers you know how much you get compared to the total amount sold to the ICO. It's just a very small number. ICO reduction is due to investors. Ordered to sell and buy turmoil. And ICO is also affected by market factors. Strongly discouraged by the Mayor, many ICOs, not just the ICO, are involved.

Maybe if bounties wouldn't be paid in their own tokens, the dumps would be avoided and everyone would be happy in here, except the dev team haha. But yes, that would be a way to fix that.

I think this is one of the factors that affects the price of a coin only at the beginning of trading, since they usually sell them immediately after receipt, then the price becomes market and equalized

Early investors, people who bought the token at private or presale with big bonus causing that really much   

I dont think so, bounty hunters together earn only few % of all tokens and many of them are holding this coin. The main reason is that team is working on the product and there are no news just after end of ICO sale...

No, if the ICO is well implemented and planned there is no way the price will go lower than the ICO price. It all depends on the developers strategy.

Just found this one, it's not a airdrop, but I really like the idea Wink The contest for WC2018, where you can win up to 100.000 LYMS

The main reason of dumps after the ICO are just the guys who invest on the presale and get a lot of bonus (sometimes more than 50% - 80% and that is a lot) i do not know why you blame the bounty hunters.

No, I do not think bounty hunters are the reason for the drop in ICO prices. Because the amount of coin for the prize is only a small portion of the ICO's coin (usually 2-3%), so it does not affect the price of coin.

Typically the bounty will be 1% or 2% of the total of the tokens issued. Even if all the bounty hunters decided to sell all their tokens it would be unlikely to have a big impact on the price. A more likely cause is large numbers of tokens sold at a discount during the Private Sale or Presale. It is not unusual to see these tokens being sold at half the price or less of the price offered in the ICO. Bounty Hunters get blamed but it is almost always the PreSale whales behind the selling.

Bounty hunters get too few tokens of the total amount. Most bounty hunters don't sell tokens, they keep them on the contrary. I would even say more, bounty hunters are more positive characters than negative ones. All the fault is only investors who bought tokens for private sale and pre-sale.

Maybe some could sell their token after the ICO round and get listed on exchanges. But there are bounties will hold the coins depends on the project if it really works..
