Bounty hunters killed ICO?

[Onika84]

This is unfair, to judge bounty participants as ICO "killers". Almost all bounty participants only get 0.03% of the total token. of course there are those who sell the tokens directly. however there are still many bounty participants who support the project so hold tokens are the principle.

Those are false statements OP.
1. Majority of ICOs have already offered more than 50% discount that totally doesn't make sense
2. Team owned the majority of the funds and the team doesn't even wanna spend it for the big exchange site
3. Liquidity problem

Bounty participants always get the distribution delay and it can be considered as the reason if all of the things that you have mentioned seem not true.

[silver23]

yeah we can said that is true but not all like that.
the best solution of ICO is paid bounty hunter with BTC, ETH or other lsted coin.
so they will never get a problem for their token.
that is so simple.

It is not true that bounty hunters kill ICO. Developers and teams kill ICO because most of them plan to run with investors money and some dump the coin once it gets listed in an exchange. Most hunters do not even get the opportunity to sell their rewards before the developers dump them, make their money and run away.

[Maamejane]

I dont understand why everyone seem to blame hunters for anything negative.. The truth is ICO projects killed themselves, you don't scam many and expect many on board when new projects pop up. Hunters just support project and hype interesting ones.

 Absolutely agree with you. Many times I observed such a situation when the price of the token fell many times before the distribution for the bounty participants was made.

FALSE.

We all know that hunters can and impact token price but this is true only in low liquidity markets.
And liquidity comes form secondary investors and traders.
I see that ICOs where like a wheel, those investors who got huge ROIs from the first bubble ICOs continued to invest because it was too easy in the first time, they reinvested till they made a decision to stop losing money. The made money was lost and investors lost, new investors are very hard to come by.

   It`s false from one more reason, bounties are usually 5% of total coin cap. It`s crazy to think that 5% can hurt the market. They can disturb it, that`s fine,
but to drop price to zero that can do just some big early investor, who had opportunity to buy for very low initial price, with some good bonus, and the team behind
with access to huge amounts.

Ye, man, the same. I think for ICO seed and closed rounds are deadly with the giant discount. This is dangerous when the huge count of tokens from whales and funds goes on the market by x0.1-x0.5 from ICO price. This crushes price more than poor bountyhunters

[Wittny]

False, hunters don't kill Ico, is very glaring for all to see, bounty allocations is always 10% of the total supply, some not upto 10%, when there are investors owning 15, 10% of the total supply aswell. If investors holding 15% decided to sell at once at dip probably because losing interest in the project, the price will crash beyond expectations. Is not possible for hunters with just 10% allocations to crash market price.

[Cryptoboss255]

Insightful argument, but bounty hunters didn't kill ico rather teams, most project teams dump a huge amount of token when distributing to bounty hunters and in turn accuse bounty hunters of dumping the token price. I know of a project that dumped 10 million token the same day distribution to bounty hunters took place. I think team should be blamed and not bounty hunters.

[eidoscore]

i dont think bouty hunter can killed the ico, i'm sure and the developer are calculating about allocation for bounty and tokensale, they are calculated before running campaign and pay hunter, but the mistakes of developer they pay hunter early or distributing token between hunter and investor at the same time and make price down after listed on exchange.

[CryptoIyke]

Very wrong assumptions, Why are most project dumps always attributed to bounty hunters forgetting that the developers and private investors who got these tokens cheap equally hold the larger part of the distribution

[Bonwin]

The effect of bounty hunters can be felt on the price of a token after ICO, but there are some exceptional projects that never experienced such negative effect. However, ICO investors, advisors, team and many others who share from the tokens also have their effect, most especially negative impact on the tokens. So bounty hunters alone should not be blamed.

[lvsca]

your argument is true, but bounty hunters didn't kill ICO.
let's see how much allocation for bounty, usually its not above 10% of total token issued, so this is not the problem.
driving price of coin is hard, sometimes investor dump their token after ICO at market price and make a coin price down. if only token from bounty hunters, pumping will be easy. thats my opinion

Most allocations for bounties are below 5%.
And the reason why many investors throw away their tokens is because they get a big bonus when buying (investing). This should be thought by the project, why investors often throw away.

And another thing that kills ICO is because many ICOs are scams. What makes investors no longer trust ICO, that's why
ICO dies slowly.

yeah, i forgot about big bonus while joining early token sale.
this is a big problem in mid 2018 where many ICO launch and planned to be exit scam.

yep, since bounty hunter only got few of tons, but investor and advisor may threw their token in early listing.

[iTradeChips]

That might be the reason why some of the bounties I joined like in 2018 is still on the stage where they are still trying to sell their tokens and they mentioned that the release of the token to exchanges will happen as soon as they have achived the amount they need in their ICO. Anyway I would keep their token and continue to wait for them to announce more on their plans for the future.

[shadowdio]

I don't think bounty hunters kill ICO just because they dump the price? what about investors that gives so much bonus like 30% - 50%, I think maybe that's the reason why the price is dumping, but I believe if their project is unique and has potential then we do not need to worry it will increase the price for sure.

Yes, even i don't know why most of the companies will blame the bounties if they don't want to run the bounty campaign better manage yourself and convince the investors to collect the money. Out of huge supply, companies will allocate only 2% to bounty hunters, what about the Team %, Investors %, Advisor % etc.

[akeda]

I think the bounty hunter does not kill the ICO. And that opinion will surely make a lot of bounty hunters who think that the wrong opinion. As the bounty hunters, they get only a fraction of the allocated funds are given. Every ICO should have a good developer and a large community. So the project can continue to evolve and if there is a dump of course not blame the bounty hunter.

[jaocoincrypto18]

Bounty hunters are always want to get paid because of their hardwork but i don't believe that they should be the one to be blame if the price of that certain coin will drop after the unlock because I have observed for many times that even the bounty token was not release yet but the price is already falling down of up to 80% therefore i believe that the investors are the one who do the early dumping as they receive a huge bonuses during ICO sales.

[Prettygirl01315]

Most of the blames are in the bounty hunters because when the distribution is finish for the bounties and the project is listed on the exchane bounty dumpers are soaring surely but its the project fault not us. If they want to make the project stay successful they need to locked the tokens in couple of month just to make sure that the price is still stable when the dumpers came up
