Sometimes, i just smile when i see bounty hunters dump their coins. I have seen situations where after they might have dumped their coins, within within 24-48 hours, it begins to rise again.
Whenever a coin lists and bounty hunters are paid, it is always an opportunity for investors to buy from them cheaply.
Most times, i wait for opportunities like this, despite being a bounty hunter too. I acquire more and hold. Then i sell high later.
There are times bounty hunters a lured by investors into selling cheaply on DEX, before any official listing.
Although, this might not be applicable to all coins, but it happens to most.
Yes, buying from DEX is the alternate way to buy cheap the coin or token you want to buy after their main sale.
Most of hunters will sell their coin because they need the money, not like the investor, who want to use their money to invest.
