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"
I also believe that the ico is currently not profitable for investment. And at the same time the market has a lot of one-day projects. This means that confidence in such projects has dropped significantly. I also went to bounty hunter. But i don`t want to promote one-day projects. At the same time new projects appear daily and they need to be properly filtered.
To avoid falling prices on exchange, projects need to create a system gradual transfer of tokens for bounty hunters so that they gradually sell these tokens.
But the project itself should be promising and very often communicate with the audience.
