It's quite funny how several people tend to level accusations on bounty hunters without sound reasoning. Bounty hunters are only concerned with the promotion of projects and that hasn't stopped even with the newly popularised IEO which became popular after the demise of ICO.
Bitcoin to me is less risky to invest because of its popularity and there's a huge possibility that it will be relevant in the future, but some altcoin may loose their relevance and others may be abandoned by the team and developers which could spell doom for the holders of the token.
In my opinion, getting the top cryptocurrency is not a difficult task with the presence of the coin market cap, one can easily view the most practising cryptocurrency together with their trading volumes and exchange listing at a glance.
There's no doubt that prices in the cryptocurrency space is greatly affected by information in circulation and several people tend to move with the tide without an understanding and sufficient information on what the tide holds. We were all excited to hear the libra coin coming into existence, but that could be history, if the Bill to sanction companies like Facebook involvement in cryptocurrency is passed.
