The new projects that are not listed at exchanges and without their own market place will always pay in their own token (as long as there will be bounty hunters accepting that) because in this case they don't pay anything from their pockets. If the project has success and gets listed, you'll sell for other investors' money. If it doesn't have success, tough luck, you've worked for free. It's a risk the bounty hunter has to think of when he jumps for enlisting under their banner. One has to check first if it has a good enough chance for success and listing.
I agree with you on this perfectly but what he is trying to suggest is that Bounty hunters provide services to these projects and it will be better for bounty hunters if they are paid in a stable coin. Most of these projects sometimes complain of Bounty hunters dumping their coins when listed. In some cases, these projects don't list their coins and bounty hunters end up gaining nothing for the services they provided. Most new projects make a fool out of a lot of Bounty hunters via payment in their tokens.
Yes, it is indeed true, many times bounty hunters get ended up by providing the only service because many coins don't get listed or many do fake promises. That's why it seems great advice to paying hunters through USDT. Because oftentimes hunters face rejection and hardly get a bounty where they make profit.
