It is not a secret that most for now ICO is a bubble and there is too many projects trying to gather funds this way. I expect this bubble to dump in the next year and then we will be able to see the real amount of ICOs. This will definetely affect the bounty campaigns on this forum. What are you expecting? Will the bounty campaigns change their rates (not only in btc but also in usd value) or they just won't be affective and devs will give up on them?
I'm curious to hear the opinion of mature users of this forum that seen the developement of such campaign activities.
Firstly, the decision of SEC to take down ICOs or check them if they are going to keep their words or not is actually fantastic. We really need someone to protect us, not after getting stuck by investing in an ICO, but by reviewing these ICOs and giving a fair decision over what to be done and what not.
Bounty campaigns will surely change the values in BTC but not in fiat, still, it all depends on what kind of project is it and how much investment is needed.
I have seen many devs claiming that when bounty campaigns don't work, they decide and stop these campaigns but not the project. They keep the project going and work on it, try their best to complete what they have promised and come up with the finished product.
