Since bounty hunters are being blamed for the projects price drop,
Why not ask the projects owner to pay the bounty reward in BTC or whatever the investors used to invest in their project?
So, most of the altcoin bounties don't have any money to pay promised amount in BTC, so they pay in their own token.
Fully agree. A lot of people think that projects simply swim in money and decide to run a bounty campaign because they dont know where else they can spend money.
If projects have enough funds to be able to pay in BTC, they would definitely not spend them on bounty campaigns, but would rather pay, for example to news webpage like cointelegraph to run an advertising campaign.
People dont understand that projects pay in their own altcoins, because they dont have money for a regular advertising campaign. When they pay in their altcoins, their only expenses are gas fees and bounty managers fee. And the fact that their altcoin will have a value is partly dependable from bounty hunters work and effort spent. While all the hunters are like "make few clicks and demand tons of money $$$ quick! when distribution?"
