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.
ICOs are totally the bubble bath that helps bitcoin to give some bump and buff to it's current price. The dumping scenario is just happening after it's now on the exchanges as their investors will for surely going to dump them. And I don't think these bubbles from ICOs will affect bounty campaigns, they will never stop as it's the best way to market out their projects and tokens. Changing of rates are expected as most of them are only depending to their stakes/shares.
