I know this have been discussed several times on this forum but yet I will like to drop this again, I'm sure few new developers are among us here, so here we go
It will be a whole new story if new projects can start paying bounty hunters in USD or stablecoin, this have few advantages over paying with your own tokens, if new projects find it as a most for people to try out their new Blockchain they should use airdrops instead, airdrops has the lowest rewards, hardly to get 2$ in airdrops today
As for bounties please start paying in USDT, DAI or USDC, this will erase your sense of 'bounty hunters are killing new projects' idea
I believe that every employee wanted to be paid for their work with real assets, which can immediately be used at their discretion. Why don't the participants of the bounty companies receive real money for their work? In my opinion, it’s easier to deceive the bounty participants and, in case of failure, accuse them of dropping the price of the token. But if everything were different, then crypto projects would have to admit their failure themselves or, for example, to throw the blame on early investors. In any case, the work of the bounty participants is not appreciated and this is very bad.
Mostly it's not the team who are blaming the bounty hunters for the dump of price, it's actually the investors who are blaming it but it doesn't really matter anyway, we can understand the frustration and the one who should really be blame for this are those who are running the bounty, the team itself.
Knowing they will pay after the job is done, that's enough to ensure that there's enough liquidity in the exchange so when bounty hunters dump, they'll get a good price and the overall market of the project will not be affected.
