Yes, that's what bounties these days make us. They show us big big rewards on their spreadsheets but the real values of those rewards they offer us are sometimes not even up to $5 on the market. I feel bounty hunters are only being used as baits by project owners to catch their investors virtually for free. What do you think guys ?
First of all, most of the projects get listed at a discount of 90% to 95% of their original prices. So you can't rely on the spreadsheets to calculate the actual rewards that you may receive from the campaign. By the time a bounty hunter receives his token, the ICO promotes might have already dumped most of their stash and the exchange rates will be very low. So before joining a bounty campaign, the participants need to check the timeline for bounty payment and the allotment for the promoters.
And there is no point in holding on to the tokens once they lose their value. Most common reason for such a large drop in prices is the team members dumping their tokens for ETH/BTC and stopping the development work. Once the price crash occurs, the chances are very low that they will recover. If the developers are not interested in the project anymore, then there is no future for the tokens. Most probably, the project will die down and the tokens will become worthless.
