Bounty hunters killed ICO?

Bounty hunters dont KILL ICO, they support and advertise it.
When it comes to token payment, then why the team just pay in ETHEREUM or BTC?
If it is about the dumping of tokens, lemme remind you that BH only have small amount of allocation compare to investors.

Yes it's kinda true. I saw many successful icos that had promising coins in the past but they don't survive long because they distributed the coins to the bounty hunters early. Many bounty hunters don't intend to hold the coin or make use of it. But they just care of receiving it and selling it immediately to get money. That made the price crash and this then make many people lost interest in investing. And also there were so many scams that made people lost trust too, and bitcoin price dropped also became one of the reason. Now i can hardly find any bounty and ico again. Unless how it is in the past.

Perhaps it makes sense for ICO teams to think about passive income to their token holders. Then there will be material motivation to keep received new tokens. Now, not only bounty hunters, but investors are just looking to sell them more profitably. It is necessary to switch to the payment of dividends, this will resemble the stock market, however, this will change the entire cryptocurrency market. Including, the problem of the high volatility of the cryptocurrency should also be solved.

Yes, but that’s not all, you need to remember that some projects conduct gigantic token swap with other ICO projects, and then announces successfully received "investments", modestly silent about the fact that this was a token swap. And an ordinary investor sees that the project has already collected a decent amount and invests. Then our project, which received such an “investment,” begins to be traded on the exchange, and another project, the “investor”, which has tokens in its hands for a large amount, starts selling them, bringing down the price. This was a common practice with not-so-popular ICOs in 2018.

Once I used to get bounty tokens, I sold them straight a way. Asap. And only few times I had a reason to regret. Usually they dropped, otherwise ICOs would collect as much as two years ago

What do you mean by "reserved"?

This is one of the reasons why they blame bounty hunters. Can you imagine if all bounty hunters do the same way as you did?
The token/coin price should be dropped significantly when you all sell all your bounty tokens immediately.

Can i ask you which is the project that has been doing such a model? It's too rarely for me to find an ICO that was doing swap with another ICO project. Majority of the dump driven by the pre sale investors and it's true.
I tell you when there was someone who has already participated in pre-sale which was putting 10 cents as the pre-sale price and then when it goes to the exchange site and then the price hits more than 20 cents and as an investor in the pre-sale price and can he dump it instantly? the answer is he can.

It is professional desease for bounty hunters 
Regarding the topic, I usually sell bounty tokens as soon as possible unless I feel there can be higher profit. There are lots of hints.

[dtb.agency]

I've seen "reserved" as a second message in thread in 100% of cases. I was always wondering, do thread creator buy this place?

[Icologies]

1) a project collected funds,
2) Funds allocation (among advisors, bla bla bla and bounty hunters)
3) Considering there are thousands of BH, the price of a token dropped dramatically
4) Investors bought token on ICO see this crap and less people invest in ICOs.

True or False?

I don't think so. I do not understand why people would prefer to invest when the ICO is running and not when they are registered in the country, even though it is very high risk if the ICO is not successful and not registered in the future. I am a prize hunter as well as an investor, but I don't recommend investing in an ongoing ICO.

Bounty hunters are not the cause of the down patronizing of ICO. IEOs offered unique advantages which has now won the interests of investors due to the smooth transactions made on the exchange platforms during the token sales. Also, the coins undergoing IEO have the opportunity to get listed on the exchange after the IEO period.

[sehoon]

Reading from the comments about this topic, in the end of the day it's a mistake by the ICO devs in doing business. Because the bounty hunters does not have any control on what should be the next moves to be done in the project.

[farraddy]

Bounty hunters is almost free advertising for the project. If they sell their tokens, then accusing them of falling the price of the token is ridiculous.

blaming bounty hunters cause they sell their token is not true. in fact, price down after hitting exchange is no longer as far as i know if devs really working on their project.
look back to 2017 and early Q1 2018, there was a btc bullrun, every ICO make a grear return in short and mid term.
how much token allocation for bounty? it's not above 10% of total supply.

[Tallos]

It hase been discussed here many times, bounty participants can´t cause a huge dump when they own together only 1-2% of all existing tokens.

Pay attention to the bounty campaigns of various projects. They pay bounty hunters an average of 1-2% in tokens of the investments they have collected during the ICO. If the project collects one million dollars, then the bounty hunters will receive a total amount of 10-20 thousand dollars for all. Do you really think that such a small amount can have such a serious impact on the price of a good and popular token? I think that it can’t.
If projects are afraid of dumps from bounty hunters, then why not pay for their work in ETH?

That's what I'm trying to say to all here. And imho they really do it.
P.S. not blaming anyone

[renault18turbo]

First of all, you have to keep in mind that bounty pool is only 1-2% from total supply. Now answer, how 1-2% of liquids can dump the price?

Thus is what I have been wondering about because that percentage will not lead to dumping of the tokens or coins, I onces told my friends that, haven such percentage like the one above can't perform the job of dumping. I think the project team actually have some secret they are operating with, which can be trance to the dumping. Possibly most of these projects operate underground in respect to how tokens are been dump.

Of the cases that I know of are projects that conducted their ICOs in 2018 using the ICOBOX platform - for example, AgentMiles, LaneAxis and Terawatt.
