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.
For those people who invest in ICOs and have been scammed would be very careful in investigating the next ICO he would invest in or better yet he would not be investing in ICOs anymore because of the fear of being scammed again and he wlready lost his trust. The false or scam ICOs would definitely have a big effect on the legit ones because people would be skeptic in investing even if they have a working product. Maybe there would be lesser bounty campaigns in this forum and the scam ones would be reduce as well. Some people may just think of buying the coin when it hit exchanges because most just dump their coins upon hitting exchanges and the price would be lesser than ICO price and those that have viable projects would eventually go up. Personally, I prefer this way so that I can avoid being scam in ICO.
