It is not a secret that most for now ICO is a bubble and there is too many projects trying to gather funds this way. I expect this bubble to dump in the next year and then we will be able to see the real amount of ICOs. This will definetely affect the bounty campaigns on this forum. What are you expecting? Will the bounty campaigns change their rates (not only in btc but also in usd value) or they just won't be affective and devs will give up on them?
I'm curious to hear the opinion of mature users of this forum that seen the developement of such campaign activities.
Bounty campaigns will change their rates according the current price of bitcoin and this is applicable to all of the campaigns not only them. I'm not that a mature user but adjustments are normal when there is something wrong or bad happening with the source of your advertisement. And we can't really tell if those ICOs that are keep on coming up has real plans for their future and they are even more investing for advertising just to make their name remembered by many investors.
