I can mint new token with a few dollars and then i used my token to pay advertisements to increase engagement for my project. I got money when my project gets popular. Does it sound non sense to you? It's a choice already picked by the developers to pay bounty in their own token rather than use a native coin. The developers agreed to pay the hunters with its own token and hunters that already joined have agreed with it. It's not a problem for both of parties.
For bounty hunters, getting tokens from a new project for their work has always been a big problem. No matter how much we research a new project, it is impossible to say with certainty not only whether it will be successful, which means bounty hunters will receive real money for their work, but also whether the project itself is fraudulent or simply useless for the market, and therefore its tokens will not be have no future value at all. The problem for headhunters is that the vast majority of these projects disappear from the market within a short time. Therefore, you shouldn’t blame bounty hunters for immediately selling the new tokens they receive. In this case, they at least somehow try to get real liquid money, and not a useless digital record in a wallet. Moreover, more than 90 percent of such tokens completely lose their value in a year or two.
