How many total tokens are distributed to the bounty hunters ? As i saw in the bounty thread, the bounty lasted only for 2 weeks and the 3rd week of the bounty was called off. This means people would have got very little tokens on that bounty and the dumping of them shouldn't have much effect on the price.
Surely, there will be dumping as expected. Just like any other project. But such dumping will be prevented if those hunters believe that this token will increase its value in the very near future. If they see this token as just another token that will lose value in the coming months, they will surely sell their share. And the team can't do anything about it because that's the purpose of bounty tokens. Since they can't afford to pay in btc or eth for that matter, then, of course expect that they will sell it to more usable alts. But that should not define the path of the project because that is only a small percentage of their total supply. There's no reason for them to blame the hunters if their token will continuously decline their price.
