Do altcoin bounties crash the price?

I don't think it has that much of an influence,  bountie allocation is just a few percent of the total supply.
And if it does have an effect in some cases, if the project is good it will find it's way to the top regardless.

Not really, the idea that bounties are crashing the price is a convenient myth, bounty hunters become a sort of scapegoats for a phenomenon which has other causes.

I don’t think Bounty payment will crash the price of a project. Sometimes the price crashed even before bounty payment is paid to the participants.

I feel that it is some whales that are manipulating the price by pushing it low and buy cheap. Just my 2 Satoshi.
