It will be even more painful later if the 28th bounty payment is unlocked, the price drops drastically, the bounty hunter is to blame. The coin value is currently small and will get smaller, this is the fate that must be accepted
Bounty hunters will dump the token, because it is fast losing it's value and the exchange is not that popular I don't see any positive sign on why investors should buy this token, unfortunately, after they release the token and there is a dump I'm sure they will blame bounty hunters which should not and never the case because they invested their time and effort here they have the right to sell their share.
This is a two-edged sword type of situation because if you sell the coins then you know you are being the reason for a the downfall of the coin which you hold in good numbers but at the same time if you do not dump and other do it because you cannot control them, then the price would fall even cheaper and you wonder if holding was the right decision or not. I believe the bounty campaigns must be designed in such a way that they give only limited number of coins to the participants and don't get carried away by promising too many coins and then struggling to even maintain 25% value of the coin.
I am not sure about this particular bounty but almost every other bounty campaign is going through the same problem, paying out too big to control or if they do not pay enough they don't get enough participants.
