I was once an investor had few gains to some ICO/crowdsale but made many losses so I decided to stop participating in ICO instead I do bounties and buy it thru exchanges from bounty hunters dumping it.
I know for a fact that most of you know this situation and are guilty of it, price tends to tank due to bounty hunters selling their share of tokens for cheap. I think its better to pay hunters in eth or other alts rather than risking the price of their token or coin in that way they could also help their investors and boost confidence to their future and their project. Well for me a falling price is a mark of a failing project "ICO's"
Yes we had the same strategy right now. In 2017, I'm actively participating in ICOs for all my funds but when the fall of ICOs and bear market arrives I decided to join bounty campaigns and wait for the token to get listed on centralized exchanges and much better in decentralized exchanges like forkdelta because hunters are selling it very cheap.
