Yes, this is done to help prevent large amounts of tokens being dumped onto the market which can greatly affect the price in the current market conditions when liquidity across the board is low, but this method should also be applied to investors who acquired at huge discounts not only advisors and bounty hunters
But if there is buy orders then where is the problem ? If the project is really great then there always will be traders , buyers and sellers . Lets say they distribute 10% everymonth for everyone . Anyway alot of people will dump if they want . Thats really stupid to think that distributing 10% every month you will secure the ICO level price . Won't happen as its proven already with many projects out there . Communicate with community , follow roadmap and bring updates every week not after months of silence then you will keep your token price tanking . Thats how it is and will be !
