Devs should stop blaming bounty hunters for dumping ,they work hard to promote your projects and they have every right to do what they like with the tokens if this is really what you don't want then
Don't pay bounty hunters in your tokens ,pay them in USD ,USDC or ETHEREUM to avoid dumping your tokens and that will have positive impact on your tokens ,dumping will always happen and if the project is a strong one then it will quickly recover
it will not be the right reason for me because bounty Hunters are doing their work and get paid for their work in tokens and cryptocurrency so it is the right thing and paying them with USD or anything will not be as worth.
No project would pay a big amount of BTC or USD to bounty hunters when they don't get a guarantee on the success of their ICO.
Most of them will pay tokens and that is the tradition here in crypto, some enjoy their reward when they have faith and will hold the tokens they received but we cannot blame those who will sell their tokens even at a very low value, it won't matter to them if they will get 10% of the original
value as long as they can cash it out and enjoy their reward.
They can start private sale after adding bounty reward. So, bounty reward should also be included in the sales price. Also, there are dozens of bounty that can do that. Maybe those who can not, should learn from them.
