Is this the new strategy?

[Iambatman]

I think this was not new i read a lot of project that they will lock the token of bounty hunter. the first priority is the investor but there a lot of project too that they give at the same time

[Nahl]

regarding this strategy i think there is no guarantee investors will make the price of the particular tokens will stable or high because investors also aiming ROI and if they see the price of tokens high and possibly to get profit if they sold their tokens at that price then i'm pretty sure they will sold it too immediately with eventually the price will fall so i think this strategy won't run well because all of it still depend on the situation of the market itself

Just recently i noticed a common trend with almost all ICOs.

There have been lots of complains that bounty hunters dump their tokens immediately after receiving them. Although, it is not true for all bounty hunters. Some still hold theirs.

Investors now get their tokens before bounty hunters. They are also allowed to start trading before bounty hunters get their rewards.
I believe this will prevent the investors from complaining and blaming the dump in price on bounty hunters.

Since last year the investors takes their part first before the bounty hunters get theirs and as i believe that this investors now dump the coins before hunters since the newly entered ico investors are aiming for quick bucks and has no reason to hold coins for future gains

Long-term holding is the only strategy on which I can rely in full extent. Cryptocurrencies are very changeable and the market is very dynamic. I don’t think that it would be ok to start trade instead of just holding.

yes it makes sense, most investors must take part first before the bounty hunters get it because they expect a faster profit and do not want to lose the money it has invested by throwing away all the coins it has when the market price has increased

[simak84]

I agree. I do not understand why bounty hunters sell all coins almost immediately after the end of ICO.
I think that the most optimal strategy is to sell 50% and to leave 50% in the hold. It does not hurt if the coin falls and if it rises too.
Sincerely yours.

Investors can also act as bounty hunters. Immediately sell tokens after entering the exchange, thereby reducing the price to a minimum.
The best solution would be to lock the tokens until everyone gets them into their wallet. And then let them trade on equal terms.

Most of the investors also investing onto the ICOs in short term so there is no wonders if they start trading them when it got listed on exchange and basically who is upfront to trade will get more price and it will gradually falls down when the bounty hunters enters into the party.

[boy130]

I wouldn't say this is a new strategy, in fact I'm pretty sure it is the oldest strategy of them all. Think about it, as soon as thousands of bounty hunters get their tokens, the smart ones know that the price will dip once the huge influx of tokens hits the exchanges. In fact, some ICO investment groups buy a load of tokens at private sale prices, and then dump them immediately after listing to actualise their little profits.

[Pumuckel21]

Yeah, I have noticed it as well that most bounties are paying bounty participants later than investors. But all in all, I really do not think that this will stop the dump of certain icos.

[Suicide101]

Bounty is the main work for some of us.
And we don't have a lot of time for holding of coins. But. of course we hodl too. If we believe in the project. (We are not fools)
But we have other problem. Bounty hunters aren't dumping the price. Most often.
Topic starter speaks correctly. Investors receive the coins before us. But the price all the same falls.
Why?
It is a market tendency.
Or it's rly bad project. It's all.

[miyaka26]

Allocation of the bounty tokens and the locking period has the vital role for this scenario, Devs can lock tokens from transferring to unnecessary selloffs and usages of the tokens, the more tokens allocated for the bounty hunters and airdrops the more chance that it will dump more once the tokens are unlocked and was released from exchange that's why the dev's need to think a strategy to lessen those dumpers like staking.

As I recall, such a procedure has existed for a long time. First, new investors get tokens and only after the ICO is over, these tokens are received by bounty hunters after a while. In addition, some ICO teams either delay the payment of tokens, or for some time block their movement even after payment to the purses.
However, it is unlikely that a few percent of tokens paid to hunters can greatly reduce the rate of a new token on the exchange. Moreover, not all bounty hunters immediately sell them.

I think you're right, that's exactly what happened. I am an investor and include a bounty hunter. as far as I know everything is no problem when I start trading, even if the token price drops drastically it is a natural thing because ico often give big bonuses.

[aamy90925]

Maybe that's because they wanted bounty hunters to use their tokens as well. Let's face it, altcoins need users to survive. Cant blame them if they do such a move

[leviathon]

You are spot on with this analysis. Since when they pay bounty hunters, majority tend to dump their coins which affects the price of the coin negatively, ICOs do this now, they hold the rewards. At least giving the investors who put actual money into the project a chance to make money before bounty hunters come into the picture and dip the price of the coin.

[marcripto]

It is right for investors to receive tokens before bounty hunters because they have paid and then they can trade first, but I think most bounty hunters are likely to harm not only the growth of the projects they receive the tokens, but also the entire sector, selling immediately the tokens they receive from the bounty campaigns

[sofmyhad]

I am not against such moves but it would not be bad for participants of cryptomarket. I am sure, that there are many people who like it and who hate it.

[toshisoroki]

To my mind it is a just current trend, I don't think that it will continue to increase because the market is changing and trends will be changing as well.

I think it is quite old practice and have seen such projects also during early 2017. Bounty hunters get their tokens for free while investors have bought them for real fiat so investors should be given opportunity to trade it first but when they will know that bounty hunters gonna come soon to dump their tokens, ICO investors will just keep the price lower by setting big buy orders at near or less than ICO price to get cheap coins from bounty hunters before driving the price up like crazy.

Well, that actually explains it one way or the other. It is more like the whales trying to rip off the weak hands from the market anyway and like you said, that makes the bounty hunters who want to dump their tokens anyway to end up selling to them at the bottom when they have totally driven the price down pretty well.

Apparently, we should just say it is a way that the bigger investors have been able to find to deal with the weak bounty hunters who are always fond of dumping. At the same time, when an ICO and its project developments are promising and progressing as per roadmap, then no one will rush for dumping out.
