Bitcoin Forum

I was joining bounty from year 2017 till present i have experience joining different signature and social media campaign with good  earnings and there are also campaigns that is not profitable  and sometimes there are campaign that doesn't pay, because the project does not reach the hard cap when they launch ICO, most of the projects pays token that is not listed on exchange and we need to wait a months or maybe a year before we can sell our tokens and get the profit and sometimes we also buy tokens from the good projects that we promote and hold, can we considered the patience of the bounty hunter same as the investors patience?

Well the difference between a bounty hunter and an investor is:
1 an investor holds an asset that is already marketable with realistic values vs a bounty hunter is a high-risk individual that gambles on any project by investing their time instead of money and gambling to see if the coin gets listed or not and if the project will actually keep to they promise by distributing the coins allocation for bounty hunters.

2 an investor put in physical cash in the form of investment capital and even though some people invest in new projects,  and are left to face the same faith with bounty hunters whether or not the asset they invested will get listed on the exchange or not but still the risk with altcoin is a general phynominuim.

So in both situations, calculative bounty hunting can be more profitable than investing in the wrong project and the only investment that makes sense right now is Bitcoin and a few other good altcoins.

hello, I consider that the crypto market is something for the long term and generally the evolution of a project takes some time, so to see something useful in rewards it is very important to be patient ;D

Bounty hunters' investment is efforts and investors' investment is their money, both want to be in a profit but between the two, investors are more eager to make a profit because they want a return on their money, while bounty hunters can always dump their rewards anytime and accept the price of their efforts based on the price on the time they dump their shares, investors have more to lose than bounty hunters, it hurts the most when you lose money.

For patience only, I can say yes. But we should take note that bounty hunter is far difference from investors because investors are using money, while bounty hunters are only time.
Then we should consider that these bounty hunters are more likely trading their time to make money and these investors are already got the money, they just want to make more money. So, for some people, time is important, while for some, money is more important.

I would not say that the patience of the bounty hunter is the same kind of patience and investor of any kind of coin or asset has.

Because you just used an example of a bounty hunter who needs to wait several months so there is enough liquidity on the market for them to sell their tokens, etc. In the case of the regular investor, they do not need to wait for liquidity, they only wait for other reasons like because they are bullish on their coins or because they have performed other kind of market analysis.

Liquidty and ease to sell or buy their investment was never a problem from the beginning. Big difference.

I guess? Just the patience though. Technically speaking bounty hunters aren't really investors, I'd say investors invest both time and money on a project (mostly money tbf), while bounty hunters spend time on trying to spread the word about it, and they get rewarded. They're workers so to speak, and their rewards are a form of investment towards the product that they are advertising. There's also the amount of risk. Yes, bounty hunters still invest time BUT they don't exactly take up a majority of the 24 hrs in each day, maybe at most an hour or two. That's pretty low risk compared to thousands of dollars of investment towards a project.

If those bounty hunters were waiting and keeping their coins out of their own volition I would say you have a point, but since in a way they were forced by the circumstances to do this I am not so sure that I agree with you.

After all it is known that as soon as the bounty hunters get their coins there is a dip on the price of that coin, as the supply on the different exchanges in which the coin is available increases and the demand cannot keep up with it, and in my opinion such actions are not compatible with someone which can be described as having a lot of patience.

Both require the capacity to evaluate the prospective worth of a project or investment, as well as patience. As an investor, you contribute your own funds to a venture or business with the hope of receiving a profit. As it could take some time for the investment to pay off, this also calls for patience. The dangers and possible benefits of investing, however, are often substantially greater than those of bounty hunting.
Bounty hunting is not the same as investing, despite the fact that it might be a method to make some additional money and possibly profit from a project. Although the amount of risk and patience required may be comparable, the objectives and approaches are different.

Nope, obviously no. Most altcoin bounty can be assumed as a gamble, if not worthless. Supposing that, I believe holding an uncertain asset differs from a tangible thing like other kind of non-bounty investment.

It comes in handy if you join the bounty carefully by means of truly researching and analyzing its prospect, despite that, it might require patience, but still, it is not as challenging as having the patience to trade or invest a tangible asset or commodity. There is no way, bounty participants have the same mental burden as them. Clearly, it is a whole different level of patience due to the nature of the distinct each user's motives.

Bounty campaign payment depend on how their project or ICO success sold out or not, recent many campaign not paying yet because they not reach hard cap on public sale and make the project team difficult for  paying bounties campaign participants. Right now, ICO project not really interested yet and difficult for us finding potential or trusted bounty campaign.

But less project want to open with bounty campaign when launching on launchpad, seems with this way or coins sale still working and many investor interested for participating in launchpad project. Next time want to see with launchpad project will open bounty campaign and we can earn much payment by joining bounty campaign.

You forget to mention cunning developers and bounty managers that want to trick and scam bounty hunters from the beginning. They do not pay not only because the project does not reach the hard cap when they launch an ICO but also because they see bounty hunters as people who are gullible. Bounty hunters don't have a strong community to protect them from this crime. Even bounty hunters ignore others, so they're not united. So, in everything, there are two sides to a coin. There are responsible hunters and wretched ones. It's not rare to see hunters fight each other because some are cheaters who take other people's work and claim it. Because of these unresponsible bounty hunters, hunters are generally seen as the lowest level in the chain and are not significant. I think this is the risk that bounty hunters should know and face, and when there are solutions that would be better,

I also am part of this forum since 2017 and since then i have joined a few signature campaigns here and i also have pretty mixed results so far. Some of them were pretty good like Radix, even though we got the token 1 full year after the bounty campaign has ended but i am still holding those tokens and they are worth a little more than 1000$, so definitely not a bad salary for a few weeks of writing posts. I also only was a full member back then. Most of the bounty campaigns though were a total failure, with tokens that were never delivered or just absolutely worthless.

I would like to agree that Bounty campaigns are also investors in a project in some way, but the sad reality in my opinion is, that the majority are just Bounty hunters that are hopping from Bounty to Bounty and dumping as soon as they get tokens. So projects need to be careful to to allocate to much tokens to the Bounty or otherwise it will get dumped into the ground.

I think you are wrong, bounty hunters are not investors in any project, they are just marketing guys to promote the projects, the issue now is that it is becoming difficult to find solid projects that want to employ bounty hunters to help promotes their projects. Most good projects now are in demand and would have raised all they need from the seed and private investors before they got to the public. Another thing is that some projects that you spend time promoting won't pay on time when the price is high, some won't pay at all, and some won't be able to raise money and fail so the risk of being a bounty hunter is on the rise

I would say tha bounty is more about luck, but not about patience. Because you can wait for rewards or rewards having a value for ages or until pension. And it wont be about patience, it will be about waiting for nothing.

I am also participating in bounties for a long time. There are project from 2017 that havent paid. Think it is used to wait for rewards and call it patiens? I think no.

I agree that bounty is about more luck but also about patience as I have been only a couple of times in altcoin bounties and I must admit from the three I have been part if I recall correctly as it is since 2016 I believe that I have not been part of them,from those three 2 paid much better than the signature campaign of Bitcoin in the Bitcoin section and one I still have the rewards locked in an exchange with low turnover daily from quite some years now and I don't even know what happened to them.

So based on this I can conclude that patience is key together with doing your own research in joining a really good paying bounty like Bitgesell it was for a bit of time here,they paid up to 2000 such coins for highest ranking members and some people would be making more money with such a bounty without investing any money of their own like investors do and only investing time of their own which bounty hunters do,so in the end it all depends on the point of view.

I guess it's all the same because bounty hunters and investors are waiting for the price to increase. Investors wait for the price to increase and sell their coins, while bounty hunters wait for their coins to be distributed and launched into the market so they can sell them.

The difference is the bounty hunters are waiting anxiously when the coins can be distributed because, according to your story, some projects don't pay bounty hunters so that is a loss for you. But investors with expertise in analyzing the market can determine what coins they can buy so it is less likely that they will experience losses because the coins they buy have the potential to increase.

Are you laughing? The bounty hunter and investors, you want to call it the same thing? What you call patience when participating in a bounty, I will call laziness. You are too lazy to learn, too lazy to study Bitcoin, too lazy to participate in discussions, and thereby gain the privilege, of subscription companies paying in Bitcoins.
Do bounty hunters hold onto their shitcoins until projects develop, as investors do?
Is it possible to compare you with investors, people who have money? Investors invest their earned money, realizing that they can live for a while without them.
Bounty hunters cherish the hope of getting a few pennies, which are vital to them.
Look how many complaints we hear about bounty hunters not getting paid. Tears of hard work, if hunters worked offline instead of wasting time on retweets, many would already be much more successful.

I think it is on the name itself, bounty hunting. I believe it is different from an investment even though you are investing your time and efforts in making the projects promoting to investors who are willing to put their money on the project. Bounty hunters gets a reward for the things that they are task to and I think it is a like with a job. So if you compared bounty hunting into investment, It seems like being a job is an investment too. It's on my own perspective and I don't think if you guys will agree with me.

I also think it's not right to call yourself a investor in the fact you are just doing bounty hunter jobs.

The main difference between investors and bounty hunters is that the former carefully study the project for investment, choosing those that, in their opinion, are promising and provide an opportunity to make a profit. Bounty hunters do not have such a choice and receive the tokens that the project representatives will provide them for the work done.

Both investors and bounty hunters have invested into projects; investors with money while hunters with their time and effort. But personally, as both a bounty hunter and investor, I think I can easily move on with wasted effort and time than with wasted money, if ever the project turns out to be non-paying. I cannot really be more specific with the feeling but this is how I viewed things eversince I entered this industry. But I do understand those who who be in contrast with my stand 'coz we have different perspectives and viewpoints. But one thing is for sure emotion would be the same but not with the weight of the feeling or emotion, as I personally experienced.

I agree with you, bounty hunters can be considered as patient investors, but the difference is that bounty hunters don't spend money in investing, the capital issued by bounty hunters is in the form of time and effort

The question is – Who considers bounty hunters as investors? To the best of my knowledge as someone who was once a firm believer in bounty hunting, it's obvious that project teams don't have the same conceptual belief as you do on this. I say this because if a business or project considered anyone an investor they would treat them well. Project teams (a very good number of them) don't treat bounty hunters well. They renege on even sending the bounty rewards as promised once campaigns are over. I'm a victim of that and I know a good number of users here must've tasted that bitter pill too.

You explained well about the difference between an investor and bounty hunter. But of course the bounty hunter has no other choice but to hold onto that coin/token long term as long as the project he is promoting has not listed his coin/token on an exchange.

I checked some of the wallets used by OP for bounty purposes just to confirm the assumption. I found that some of the altcoin he had from campaign payouts just looked like worthless display items. So in the end I just agree, being a bounty hunter is profitable when the project it supports is promising, but most bounties just make it a waste of time.

Many token have in my mew wallet which i was earning bounty since 2017 year but now bounty like worthless. Bounty time ended right now so if a bounty project give you good money then it is your luck but not means good bounty coming.

yes, me too. when ETH network was cheap then.

i agree with you. we spend our time and effort so we can get some share. when i back i just check that most of them didn/t pay well or their crypto has no value at all

Yes I can say yes to that but based on if the bounty is not a shit project. There are things to consider which is the: Token future The token is the center of the investment or patience and if it doesn't have a use purpose it future will not be worth it therefore becoming a waste of time hodling it and this includes the exchange where it will be listed. In the past, some members have benefited from their patience of doing bounty so it depends how the token perform at the long run but I still advise to buy direct from exchange and hodl in your wallet. Bounty is a risk and direct investment is also a risk. IMO direct investment is preferred.

The concept of investment is defined by people as only investing in funds and assets of all kinds.  But investing in his definition includes all kinds of spending in order to achieve profits, including investment in personal effort, as Bounty hunters do. 

Bounty hunters invest the time they will spend promoting projects and share the risk as they work with startups waiting for the tokens to become valuable and the exchanges to support them. Once those tokens become valuable, the investment becomes in the assets and not in the effort as they did with the work in the campaigns in which they won that bounty.

I'm also a bounty hunter, so I understand a bit about this. In addition to patience, it also takes a bit of luck. Even if you carefully research the bounty projects you plan to participate in, you are not sure if they will pay you after the end of the campaign. or even the project died while running the campaign for some silly reason. Moreover, even if the share is paid, there are actually a lot of worthless or even illiquid bonuses for sale. So in addition to being persistent when participating in the campaign, the element of luck is also an important thing for bounty hunters.

I have to add a bit to my opinion on bounty hunters because it might be worth considering.

I don't know how long OP has been active as a bounty hunter and how much money he has made on his current account. I think if the OP really values ​​his time then he should get used to it enough to get out of his comfort zone and try something new like improve post quality, earn merits, rank up and join bitcoin paying campaigns. There are tens to hundreds of bounty hunters who have migrated there as long as the bounties are no longer worth it. It's too convenient, the OP may have forgotten that he needs to rank up to get bigger stakes instead of expecting it to be worth with the current full member rank.

I don't think so. In one side, many bounty hunters will as soon as possible seell out their rewards to convert to money, so they will not really consider about how much they want to get. This really often makes the price of the token or coin dropped very much.

However on the other hand, there are alsonmany otjer boubty hunters that lrefer to hold the cryptonfrom rewards because tbe price is very small. They are more preferable to hold crypto ubtil the price goes very well. So, this may depend on each person.

Have you seen many promising projects lately that would have conducted a bounty program on the forum? Now, if the project is really promising, then it does not experience financial difficulties with raising money for the development of its product, so they do not need to worry about selling their coins for this purpose.

Being a bounty hunter can be consider as a job, though profit is not guaranteed but if you do work hard on this and spend a lot of time, then I think its more possible to get a profit. Holding those bounty tokens can be consider as your investment as you spend time and work for that, but again there’s a risk for holding so better if you have chance to take profit do it as early as possible because most of the new projects didn’t last that long.

the main difference that i am seeing here is that investors shell out money to hold the coins whereas, bounty hunters are devoting their time not the money to get a hold of those coins. so if you don't have money to spare on a specific project, you can join the bounty hunting. however, in both cases, there's no guarantee that you will get profits even if you shell out money. in short, your profitability whether you are an investor or a bounty hunter depends on the project itself. this is why to lessen the risk of wasting your resources, better do your due diligence and get out as soon as you see some red flags on the project.

Bounty hunter is a nice word, but in reality, I personally feel that it is very annoying. Many people don’t make any contribution, and they simply use account farms to get early tokens or cash, just to make money , and the item is not reviewed. Of course, some legends and heroes in the forum have a bottom line.

The general perception of investors is that they contribute financially which will give more value to a project. As for the bounty hunters, they only perform visibility-raising tasks like normal paid marketing jobs. In conclusion they are no more workers than investors, even though they literally have to stake their jobs to get the payout value they deserve.

Investors of time, in a way of having patience for a project to get listed and make profit from it but a literal investors that involved money, then bounty hunter is not considered a investors. Though bounty hunters play a huge part of the project's marketing campaign, so it's a big deal in my opinion because bounty hunting will look for future investors that serves a great purpose for a project to succeed.

Campaigns can be very profitable, while others may not pay or pay in tokens and cannot be liquidate immediately. It is also common for bounty hunters to hold onto tokens from good projects that they promote and wait for them to increase in value. The similarities between the patience of bounty hunters and investors, there are also some differences. An investors typically invest their money into a project with the expectation of a return, while a bounty hunters earn tokens or coins for their efforts. Additionally, investors often have a long term goal and may hold onto their investments for years, while bounty hunters may be more focused on short-term gains.

A bounty hunter and an investor are two different terms - one can be both but one does not imply the other. Good investors don't hunt after dust shitcoins but most bounty hunters are doing that only. If the bounty hunter is diligent which is rare, they may be able to focus on well performing projects again that is a rare thing for the projects as well.

I have seen some users who came to the forum as Bounty hunters but eventually stopped doing it to move on to investing and signature campaigns. I think this change is possible for most users if they are willing.

I guess many bountyhunters have experienced the same feelings, but between the hunter and the investor here I think there is only a small relationship. Because not everyone is research and companion with the projects they participate in, when the hunter receives the coin/token most of the time they will sell it to make a profit, not that they will accumulate like that investors. So a few can take advantage of a few projects in the space to earn more income, while the majority of participating in low-quality projects do not bring benefits to the hunter's income. in this space, and that's a fact, and I think anyone involved would take such risks.

The only situation when he word patience can be used for bounty is a moment when you need to do same bounty tasks more than few months (or even a half years some times). I remember I have been doing social media tasks for one of bounties for half a year, and in the end all I've got was "wait, after X event, we are working on it, as soon as possible and etc". When the project does not create anything new, but ask hunters to produce content and hava strict rules as "two weeks of inactivity = loosing stakes". That is patience for me. That are what bounty and patience for me.

This is the difference between bounty hunters vs investors
 - Bounty hunters are just like an investor holding for coins that are likely not to give them returns.
 - Investors are those people who hold coins and surely earn a profit in the future.

They both hold actually but hunters really waste their time doing this and have little to no chance that they can sell their coins. Unlike those people who bought coins that anytime they can sell and make money from it.

Bounty hunters are not only patients investors, they are also hard workers who spend their time and resources in a project that is not even so clear that it will be profitable in the long run.
Bounty hunters also are risk takers that are supposed to be recognised in the cryptocurrency industry.
Most times their efforts and resources are wasted because some of the projects they promote ends up not becoming what they promised to become and these shit tokens become useless in the wallet of the bounty hunters. A bounty hunter has an investor's patients and also has rhe investors risk taking ability if they do not only promote but also by the token.

An investors patience is because they believe in the project that they're invested in. If they didn't believe in the project, they would had sold. Investors patience is self voluntarily and he can decide to sell at any time to get out of the investment when he noticed it wouldn't favor him at the end.
Bounty hunters patience is force on them because they're been paid in tokens that they have to wait for months to be able to sell and there's no guarantee that they'll get a good value for the tokens they received which is why they always sell almost immediately the tokens gets listed on exchange.
Hunters are working for projects and expecting them to be paid while investors are using their money to work for them. They are in no level with bounty hunters. Bounty hunters are not investors, they're marketers and they also work for the investors because if they promote well, the investors make more profits.

As the title says, it is completely dishonest with what has been and is going on in this space, hunters and investors should not be tied together. The fact that many hunters, I would say most are only interested in profits and are willing to sell their tokens received from projects, it is clear that the agreements and ties in this work make it possible for everyone to see the potential. As well as the risks of participating, there is not much special when it comes to the risks faced by the hunter. Personally, I meet very few cases who are willing to spend money to invest in the projects they contribute to the bounty, and the story of accepting poor quality projects to think about a great future it is also as bad as how many people still invest in shitcoin everyday and look forward to the opportunity to change their lives.

Bounty is dead and it makes absolutely no sense. I do not understand why people still participate in this outdated and inefficient form of getting tokens. All activity has long gone far beyond the forum and it spreads a little differently, through early use of networks, ambassadorship, testing of test networks, participation in discord, etc.

On your unique circumstances, You are an investors since you work for that token to get it. So you are investors since you hold long term. You can considered it as work stored on shit tokens that you didn’t know if there will be a value in the future.

But in most cases, Bounty hunters is not an investors but a worker since they typically flipped their token when they have a chance to get some fiat on it. Investors purchased or accumulate tokens because they believe on the project that it will give value on the token while bounty hunters intention is to promote and sold once they received the payment. There’s a big difference between investment and salary from work.

In my humble opinion, i think time alone worth a lots of money, imagine doing a testnet that takes most of your time. sometime your the device can even get damage during the process. but a big patience is required which is not supposed to be.

Very often bounty hunter turns into an investor, only this does not happen at his will. And the main reason for this transformation is that he cannot sell the received token at a price that would suit him, or because this token cannot be sold at all. In all other cases, bounty hunter sells his coins, as this is his main goal.
 

Yes and No.

Yes, because like investor, bounty hunters are willing to wait for the project to go live. They are also at risk of getting nothing from all the hard work they do.

NO, because bounty hunters kill the projects. I have joined hundreds of ICO and IEO back in the days when it's still a BIG thing and I saw how a good project turned to dust because of "dumping" and "cashing out" of bounty hunters who were willing to sell their bag of tokens once the token were tradable even in the lowest possible amount just to get something from it. I have seen projects token value go down to the floor in a minute and get almost zero value because of bounty hunters.

I agree that bounty hunting is not an easy job and requires a lot of patience and dedication. I also agree that bounty hunters are like investors in some ways, because they both support projects they believe in and hope for good returns in the future. Of course, some differences between bounty hunters and investors. Investors risk their own money while bounty hunters need to perform tasks to earn some tokens.

Because most of the coins that they got have no value yet or are not tradable already which urges them to hold for several years. But as you can see, these hunters will then sell their coins when they see their coins are already tradable in the market and dump them. That is why I'd never say there is dedication and patience there, they just have a reason why they wait. Unlike real investors who really buy coins to hold as they are waiting for a great price, not because they are urged to do it.

even sometimes bounty hunter if sees their bounty or their project as promising, they're not gonna hesitant to invest some real money into the project because many of the bounty hunters also learn in regards of the fundamental of the project itself, so it's not something new if bounty hunter also usually invests.

isn't getting tasks done essentially also quite the same with risking money, it's just maybe the project didn't get supported financially but from the market sides where usually it's very essential.
there's always reason why many project are giving out rewards for everyone that willing to promote their project because it's sometime more important than the investments.

This may have been the case 6 years ago, but now investing in bounty is akin to losing money. It turns out that the coins received for the bounty will not cost anything, so the money that is invested in the project will also be lost. You could name a few bounty that have been held on the forum over the past year where you could invest your money?

If this forum is the basis for you to say that bounty hunters can be considered as investors, yes correct. And investors here in the crypto community will only invest in what they think is potential. Of course, they need to know how to investigate legitimate projects so that the capital is not wasted. And then wait for the campaign period to end until it is listed on the exchange.

Although, it's high risk in terms of investing in the ico projects that as you said, most often don't pay way back 2018 and more. As for the bounty hunters here in the forum, they have to be accepted in a bounty campaign and do the task to be entitled to the payment after the campaign period. Then, they will wait for the same as investors.

Through each different period I see the approach of hunters or investors in this market is also different. And I have never appreciated hunter support in this environment as well because the truth is mostly spam dumping despite, and the low quality project environment creates ambiguous interactions. A few create a good reputation but not too much in this environment, most hunters are at a disadvantage and accept the risks of the work they have accepted to participate in, it is not an investment just getting stuck on the journey they've been on and assuming it's real work.

I,m also one bounth hunter and crypto currency traders also i involved bounty from 2016 and crypto trading also same since 2016 but when i,m trading for profit but sometimes unfortunately price down and sell at loss but bounty START from 2016 still now i have create enough patience hopefully my future can building with bounty hunting.

Well if bounty hunters hodl for the long term they can include as an investor since they're holding part of the total supply. When I got a reward from bounties I always hodl it for the long term rather than selling it immediately because a project needs time to build its product to make a token more worthy as a value.

You can only considers it as investment when you truly involved yourself with the investment by buying and holding some of their tokens, as for joining the bounty that isn't a guaranteed way of calling it investment because I could only view to be a total waste of time and energy being that you must bear the risk of waiting and if you does there's nothing to show it's certain for you to sell and gain back your efforts.

Bounty is not investment rather is a game of probability because the things you may consider as an investment is a token or coin you had in your hands and can sell them off whenever you wishes or desired to do so.

Most bounty hunters are only investing their time and also their reputation is on the line because some of them are using their real FB or any other social media and others will get their relatives into investing in those projects and imagine if the project is all fraud. what will they lose?

Of course, they will lose trust from their families and friends. That's why others will create alternative social media accounts for bounties to avoid such things to happen because they cannot be sure if the project they promoted are legit or not.

I actually laughed when the OP used this comparison when talking about hunters, although I don't think much of a hunter-related investment in this environment, I fully admit the bounty environment is getting worse and worse. quality and not many projects are really right about the value and the way they build the project. Maybe now there are many different approaches to project dissemination, but in general, hunters are the ones who always suffer more when they accept to participate in poor quality projects, Sometimes I'm also curious to see if the number of people willing to spend money to invest in projects where they participate in airdrop, bounty, testnet,... are really many.

is true. i follow it often it looks i get free coins. but we always campaign for projects in this forum and various social media. it allows us to have coins that should be invested based on the good level of our work. but we need the project to really pay, i only felt that in 2017. so hard now but we trust the well known bounty manager.

Bounty Hunter is not an easy job, it requires focus and patience. If a Bounty hunter uses his personal identity it is related to investment or cryptocurrency platforms. It's better to create a new social media specifically for crypto sharing. That way it will be better. But still have to warn in every post with a warning that will not be responsible for any loss.

Well, I have to agree with that but nobody has pushed them to join in airdrops and bounty hunting, it was their will to do it.
I would say that they are more than an investor, they are sometimes hopeless from their shitcoins holding them without any assurance that it give them returns after a long time of waiting. If they got lucky they will get more and easy money but unfortunately, most of the time they never get what it deserves from them in promoting projects which in the end it fail then and give nothing to the hunters.

ICO days are the best days on which making yourself to be a bounty hunter on which it could still possibly be able to give out thousands of dollars of profit out of your hardwork or promoting them.
Nowdays its never been worth because you would really be getting shitcoins out of the tasks and time you had put into. There's no way that it is really that worth on doing so but surprisingly there are still lots of accounts or member of this forum is been flooding out those bounty threads that launched even up to this moment which i dont know on what the heck theyve been pursuing into if those
projects do fail most of the time.

Bounty hunters arent considered to be investors because they arent putting up money on investing or supporting it.They are just marketers and making up some exposure on which there's no way
that could be considered to be an investor on that way. All they need is to make out some marketing and been paid on the tokens on what the company or project been allocating.

that's right . we are only campaign hunters but always patient, unfortunately there are even some projects where they successfully run sales but don't pay bounty hunters at all, there are also those who pay when we face a very deep decline. i miss 2017 so much that even a no-name bounty manager could be trusted to pay us tokens on time. we get no less income as an investor should be, but they seem to look down on us now.

This would be bit exeggarated statement but it's not exactly wrong in my opinion. Bounty hunters also research about projects that they wanna hunt. They may also hold those nearly free coins for months or sometimes even years. I observed some altcoin projects getting high transaction even after 1 year passes. So if you are long term holder of bounties its safe to count you as investor. But otherwise, if you dump your coins right away you receive, you are not investor then.

I also previously participated in various bounties held on the forum and I have a very large number of different tokens in my wallet, the cost of which is equal to a few cents as 6 years ago. Those tokens that have not received a listing on the exchange have never increased in price.

Nah, bounty hunter isn't considered as investor, but it's considered as a poor and lazy person looking to get token.

Bounty hunter isn't put any effort, tweeting, share, shitpost, shilling etc is really an easy task and they hope they will get a good share, that's ridiculous. Bounty hunter isn't risking anything, unlike investor who gamble his money on a shitcoin project.

Both bounty hunters and investors require a lot of patience, but i think the expectations and context of their patience may differ. Bounty hunters may need to wait for a target to appear or for a lead to materialize the bounties that they get, while investors may need to wait for a company to reach a certain level growth or profitability. Bounty hunter and investors both requires persistence and the ability to stay committed to their goals. That is why they need a lot of patience, as we all know that patience is a virtue.

They have the similarity but not in all aspect, they are the same waiting for the token to boom before selling not all but most of them, they are the same wanting to gain big profit the difference is that investors used thier money while bounty hunters used thier effort on promoting the project to get a token.

Sort of and your capital that has been committed there is your time and effort, still, that's an investment IMHO. But we've got different thoughts about it if it's coming from the bounties. There are people that don't see it as much as you can see it and that's totally fine you have to respect their opinion about the situation and the same goes for them that they should also respect you for having that thought of what you've brought up.  And that strategy that you've brought is still being done today, like those projects that have test nets and mainnets. Those that were able to receive their airdrops and held it until they were listed and saw the launching price of it, it's worth it for most of them.

The amount of patience you have is truly commendable because you didn't quit on this business for about 6 years but I can feel that there are more years to come from you because you are used to this already. Some bounties can fail but if they get lucky to get a good amount of investor, the earnings that you guys can get is also bigger than on what the BTC sig campaign participants are earning. Bounties have changed through the years.

The rewards seem to decrease now but the rate of scams have lessened because some bounties can now pay in established stable coins. Even if you don't invest in the project that you promote using your own money, you are still considered as an investor because you invest your time here.

Unfortunately, it is accurate, the risk of losing a reputation is significant. All bounty hunters went through this. It's not very pleasant to get out of the situation when you do a post or repost, and then the project turns out to be a scam and your friends begin to make claims to you for advertising it. You have to either block or create such accounts only for a specific company.

Yeah I agree, that's why I create another social media account to prevent something like this, in my place there is already a case where a promotor from a scam project got caught by the police because he promoting a scam project. Its better if before we do a job as bounty hunter we should research the project first because with that we can reduce the risk that we will get scammed by the owner of the project.

the thing is that the team allocating some share for marketing which also includes bounty and that's it, whether it's called being investors or something else is entirely different thing.
yes maybe you could call yourself an investors but from the point of developers you are their marketing force. but finding good and legit project is essential.

It is true. You are also part of the marketing strategy of the company behind the bounty campaign. They are not actually just making you an advertiser of their campaign but also trying to attract you to buy the product itself.
I've done a lot of bounties before and I could say I fell in love with some of them so I decided to buy more. Luckily, I found a good position to sell it back and make some profits but not all have a good ending. Some are scams and just wasted both my time and effort in supporting them and buying coins from their ICO projects.
OP, the decision will depend on you, if you think it's worth buying after some deep research then do so. But if it's not just advertise them and move on, or better don't advertise them at all if you cannot find a good sign for their business to be valuable in the future.

actually the patience of the bounty hunter is even greater, because it is not just being an investor, but waiting for the prize to be received, and sometimes it is paid and sometimes it is not paid, or even paid but there is no price. especially if the capital used for investment comes from the prize, so you have to be good at managing your finances. on the other hand real investors have greater psychological pressure because they use personal capital, so they must fully understand the field they are investing in, to minimize risk

It is the case with many of us older users of this forum, where we took part in bounties and the tokens are worth zero value today. The reasons vary but mostly the projects failed to deliver any product that changes the current market and thus they died out a slow death. Today their owners have mostly left and advisors left as early as the lock in period ended and investors are waiting for better prices to dump their coins.

In crypto, this is why bounty hunters cannot become patient investors, the more they try to accumulate bounty tokens the lesser returns they will get. One in a million projects might be worth a huge amount but that is like the jackpot - never reachable practically.

The problem with most projects of that time was that few projects were able to get listed on the exchange. Now the projects have a clear advantage already for the reason that each team can independently list its token on a decentralized exchange.

The bounty hunter expectation of reward should be pure luck, nothing is guaranteed. I've had bounty experiences, none of them consistent. You can make money from these jobs without any expectation. Social media, testnet, such awards are in fashion these days. For bounties, since the tokens you receive from signature or social media awards are free, some of them can be kept to show that you value the project, and some can be sold for profit.

Bounty hunting in the cryptocurrency space requires patience and resilience. While it can be profitable, there are also risks involved, such as not receiving payment or receiving tokens that are not immediately tradable. Similar to investors, bounty hunters need to exercise patience and wait for their tokens to gain value or become tradable. It's important to carefully select campaigns and projects to maximize potential earnings.

Apart from being patience bounty hunters invest their time and effort by a way or means of aggressive promotion of a project despite their effort they needed to wait for a very long till the token is listed even after listing some token might not have a good value another endless waiting will continue until the price of the listed token pump to a reasonable price before some hunters sell their tokens else if they hurriedly sell off their tokens at less or lower price their effort might be useless and wasted effort whereas an investor will wait till listing and after listing thus both are investors who needed to patiently wait for a long time.

Since 2017, I have been actively participating in bounties as well. My belief is that there is a distinction in mindset between bounty hunters and investors. While bounty hunters dedicate their time and effort, investors carefully analyze and allocate funds to projects with growth potential. Generally, most hunters tend to be impatient, with only a few possessing the patience to hold onto coins. On the contrary, investors face lower risks compared to hunters. This is because, in many projects, the hard work of bounty hunters may go unrewarded. Therefore, I do not perceive bounty hunters as investors. The investment they make is solely their time and effort, rather than money from their own pockets.

Yes, patience is definitely needed for bounty hunters, I agree with you, but now, in principle, spending your time on bounties or airdrops makes no sense in principle, since they pay a penny, and now you have to wait for a penny for three years, before you could both be patient and participate in bounty or airdrops and make good money on it, as if patience were justified

the same but they (investors) have a loss if their token is listed on the market and experiences a bad price, bounty hunters don't lose money, but in terms of waiting they get the same value.

Bounty hunters are often recognized as investors who possess a significant amount of patience. Their line of work requires them to meticulously track down individuals or assets, often facing various challenges and obstacles along the way. Similar to investors who carefully analyze market trends and wait for the right moment to make their move, bounty hunters exercise patience in gathering information, strategizing their approach, and executing their plans. They understand that achieving their goals may take time, requiring them to persistently pursue their targets with unwavering dedication. Through their patient and methodical approach, bounty hunters demonstrate an ability to navigate complex situations and achieve successful outcomes.

I think this is a good analogy. Bounty hunters are Investors. But there's a bit of a difference here and I think it's going to have some bearing on how we see it all subjectively. The investors spend their money to buy in the ICO sale stage. And the bounty hunters put their time and mind into working on the project to get paid. So I see that there are different forms of patience here. Investors are patient for their investment to make a profit and bounty hunters are patient when the project they have worked on is paid for and they get their wages from it.

Yes i agree with you. Bounty hunters are often considered as investors with a lot of patience because they have to wait for a long time before they can receive their rewards. They have to be patient while tracking down their targets, and they have to be persistent in their pursuit. Similarly to investors often have to wait for a long time before they can see a return on their investments. They have to be patient and persistent in their investment strategy in order to achieve their financial goals.

even though I am a hunter I don't feel like an investor because how can you say that you are a hunter investor, a hunter only has time and mind to do work that rewards the coins they offer
In contrast to investors who actually spend money from their pockets to buy and support the project, investors' patience is tested when the dev runs away or suddenly scams and they lose.

just my opinion

I have had an on/off relationship with bounties. They seem to pay out in a bull run but founders cannot afford to pay out in a bear market. I have been getting Q Blockchain and Lamina1 rewards on zealy io so I guess that works. I think most people are participating in Twitter giveaways these days.

However, even though it was listed on an exchange but if we talk about market potential, we can't expect them to stay long-term in the market as most of them are just gone after a few months, sometimes just weeks. I admit that I join Bounties before (last 2016-2017) and some of my tokens still don't have market value and I'd never think they will have value in the future when the developer and the team are not responsive anymore.
And we are just urged to become patient because we are waiting to become tradable in the market.

Bounty hunter's patience is far better because they cannot do anything just wait for the update to receive their token and wait again for months to get the token listed, whereas investors can easily dump their coins to cut their losses the moment they see their coins losing values, bounty hunters cannot do that sometimes they received their token after the developers and early birds dump their shares, and they have to trade it on whatever the price at the time they receive their shares.
Bounty hunters usually are the last to dump, bounty hunters' situation is worse in this present time.

If you feel that the project you participated in won't last long, you sell it. There are factors where the projects last like continuous development. I had this coin from the bounty I participated before called $CHSB also known as Swissborg. I sold it too early until it goes 5 figures at ATH. It really depends if you apply investors mindset on the bounties you participated in.

Dont know on why bounty hunters are considered to be investors with having that long patience, yes it is partly true but the general idea or attaching up that word is something that has no sense.We do know on their main differences considering that investors are literally the ones who had been supporting the project by simply investing or putting up money on which we know that bounty hunters are really just that marketers who do spread out their exposure on this space. Its true that being a bounty hunter would really be needing to dealing up with a long wait because you cant even sure if you would really be able to receive your tokens or not,
and if ever you would be able to get those pay then the moment you would really be needing to do next is to wait up again.We know that not all tokens/coins are really that able to get the value and it would always
matter on the demand and recognition. This is why bounty hunting is never been worth because you could really be just simply wasting up your time on a shit project which you should have must use it on other
ways to make yourself that able to get some benefits but well it is really your time to be spent up though.

I consider them risk-takers because altcoins bounty hunting now is not profitable anymore, its hard to find a good bounty to join, and when there is one the competition in the pool is very stiff because so many bounty managers do not limit those who want to join, save for signature campaign, social media bounties have hundreds or even thousands of participant that each participant can only get a few dollars after one or two months of campaign.

whether it can be considered as an investors everyone is free to have their own opinion but I think everyone shouldn't underestimate the time invested in doing some tasks for the sake of the bounty, generally in promoting products there are budget for marketing and this is exactly what bounty hunters get allocated from, yes they don't risk their money in investing but still their rewards are well deserving.

Their lose their time and their effort.

Don't you even know that if "time is money"? Any time that you have spent in your life for nothing = you have lose your money. That's why even though hunters were losing their time when they were participating in the scam project pretty much the same like they wre missing oppotunity to make money from there.

Think about that. Even though they got their reward for free.

this depends on how the policy is made by the team, there are some projects that prioritize paying bounty hunters and there are some projects that continue to delay bounty payments. if you want fast payments and reduce risk you should choose a bounty with an escrow system, but unfortunately only some bounties or BM use this system.

Yes. The difference is, investors are holding their assets on their set time to take profit while we can say the bounty hunters are left without choice but to be patient in order to profit from the rewards they received after working for months.

In addition, bounty hunters exerted their time and effort as their capital to get their rewards. While investors did use their own money to buy crypto to gain, in time. Just shows even the ways to accumulate their holdings are different, investors and bounty hunters are the same because they need to wait so it's a must to have patience.

ICO is the past now, the investor are not going to pay in their own website. Now there aren't many people who don't want that unless promoted by something they know. so they go to crypto exchange including binance, DEX exchange.

I think the both are totally different, Investor invests money and bounty hunters invest time, in the end it's all commitment but one is more heavy than the other, As an investor if you lose your money, it's gone, but as a bounty hunter, when a project didn't pay or didn't return much investment, you dust your self and try again with another project and hopeful get one right.

yep, bounty hunters give their time and efffort to get some crypto and investor use their own money to get some crpto.
the path is different but it same while both of them must be patient to get profit/reward.

I think both of different case between investors and bounty hunters. Here definitely investors take on higher risk than hunters because investors need to put money in their own pocket if project didn’t success or will not trade on the market in their expected price then investors will lose money, on the other hand if hunters didn’t get their payment they will lose their time only. 

About patience for me there is no limit. The important thing is to sort out which type of bounty campaign we will follow. Especially if there is a Campaign signature option there. Yes. It's really difficult, getting into the signature campaign has terms and conditions too but as long as I explore and ask questions then read and read the references on how it works, this is very interesting and gives us broad insight and good results in this space and world of money market.

Bounty hunters often hold the altcoins they get, just like me, I am also a bounty hunter for a long time and I still hold some of the altcoins I got,
Indeed in terms of our patience as bounty hunters, we can be said to be very patient because we do not use capital, but time,
but investors certainly use money for capital and if they feel profitable, they will definitely sell the coin.

at some point i agree with you, because bounty hunter also gives value to community, they spend their time to write article, making video, keeping good engagement to their follower ( twitter, social media bounty ). and also have a chance to not get paid or lost the time + work investment. investment is not always exchanging something with money. when we exchange our time to something it is also investment.

I also agree with you. But it's not entirely correct to say Investors. We bounty hunters are paid workers. And then the payoff makes us Investors. We spend our time not our money. We have contributions but not investments  ;D ;D

It will be right statement if we calling ourselves was working rather than contributing. We got paid from working and we are exchanging our time to the stakes that can be convered into the real money.

I don't even know why people called hunters as investors with huge patience. It may be caused by if we are always facing project that turned to be scam projct.

all i could see since i entered this market is that at the beginning of the project as the project owners want investors and for that they need a marketing campaign so they pretend they like the bounty hunters, months go by and the marketing campaign ends and when the project creators make calculations of the money collected they see that they donate taking money to pay the bounty hunters, and even worse and more disgusting about it all is that they are not even taking money from their pockets, they pay with their token, but as they have already made calculations that their damn token has a price of 1$ for example and that with that they have 300 million dollars for example

but when they pay the money to the bounty hunters, the bounty hunters will sell right away to keep dollars and the price of the token could drop to 0.50$ and with that the project creators would only have 150 million dollars so the creators of the project keep going around to pay and a war starts between the bounty hunters against the project owners, this is the problem that I saw a lot in this market. so it's good that projects pay in bitcoin to avoid this kind of serious and sad situations, many project owners look at bounty hunters as just disposable tools, they have no intention of being grateful to bounty hunters

I don't think it is really worth it to hunt bounties, I think the best days are already long over. Nowadays, you need to be lucky to get paid as many project become scam or when they distribute their tokens, they are useless are there are no places to exchange them... Yes, there might be good and interesting projects, but good research and due diligence are needed.

I see that many, including myself, have joined this forum and started participating in bounty campaigns since the second half of 2017, when the cryptocurrency became more famous and grew in price. In particular, since 2017, the number of new tokens that have appeared has increased, and along with this, the number of companies that have launched bounty projects for their issued tokens. Therefore, at this time, the number of bounty hunters increased, especially since then their earnings were more generous than now.
It is worth considering that bounty hunters are also often investors in various new projects, because their work is connected with them. Therefore, the patience of bounty hunters and investors when working with cryptocurrency is almost the same.

Nowadays we are lucky to find a project that decided to run a bounty campaign for promotion in general, than to be lucky to get paid. It is a huge luck now to find a new bounty in bounty section. And most surprising, that during AI trend (ChatGPT and etc), we see few projects related to that. I have almost stopped searching for new bounties. The one that appear, from first glance it is understandable that there is no use participating, as the project will never be finished, achieved or ended.

I'm also a hunter before and I know the feeling of waiting for a long time just to get a better price of our tokens and can sell them. But being an investor, we have a time frame to follow when to buy and when to sell, and it still needs patience. But as I can see, hunters just hold because tokens are not listed instantly which makes them wait because it does, they sell them away (just like what I did before) as they are afraid that the price will dump. There is no plan, unlike how the investors are doing.

Most of the time bounty hunters wasted their time advertising the project they work with and sometimes they get cheated because they don't get their payment after they've done their job well making the project successful there are lots of incidence from the past until now that this is what they do most likely if the rewards are not escrowed. The known managers that are mastered in handling such multiple projects cannot do anything about it once the owners of those projects decided not to release the rewards. in other words, bounty hunters should consider not joining any bounties unless it's escrowed by popular managers.

A bounty Hunter is not an investor. He becomes an investor if he buys the token/coin. Most hunters will dump their token when they get paid and move over to another project.  A bounty Hunter is a promoter, that is shilling a project to his own circle of influence.

What is more important time or money?
BH spends a lot of time, but investor spends a lot of time and a lot of money, it's a bif difference
In the case of an investor, you lose money that you already had. In the case of BH, you don't lose money, if you lose, you've just lost your time. You can't lose what you don't have. In both cases it will be unpleasant, but in my opinion it is more difficult to be an investor, because in case of loss, he loses what he already had and time also, in case of BH he lost only time

Risk for BH: We actually don't know if the coin gets listed or not, will the new project distribute the coins as promised or not. There is always the possibility of wasting time, but it's not the same with risks for investors

Bounty hunters are workers and investors are investors,
the capital that must be spent by bounty hunters is time, and investors are money,
the difference is clear, so who will hold on longer, of course, the bounty hunter will win because they don't have a target,
it's different from investors who have a selling target .

2017 was the peak of bounty hungting and most of the bounty there was paid and the reward was really big compared to thousand of bounties these days. Although still there was some scam projects and didn't make it from ICO to the exchanges but still you got decent rewards from there, compared to today it's really sad.

Bounty hunters can't be recognized as investors because you don't invest anything(money) into the projects. That's the core key of investment, if you pay something to buy some assets for hoping to get some bigger return then that's called investment.

There is  difference between a bounty hunter and an investor. An investor earns money by investing his own money. A bounty hunter earns money by working for free. If a bounty hunter gets a token, he can sell it at any time because that token.  T he did not buy with his own money, he can sell it at a profit for him. And an investor.  Before selling any token he will sell it after much thought. Because he has invested his own money in the tokens.

That's right. Many bounties are profitable before, because the rewards given to hunters had value after getting listed on exchanges. Yes there are also scam projects, but plenty of those are not scam, the reason why joining in bounties before are worth it even it takes months before you can receive your rewards and enjoy the earnings after selling.

Well, hunters didn't invest money but they exert an effort to get paid. Investors and bounty hunters are different but when it comes to patience there's a similarity since both needs to become patient to gain.

Yes. i feel it too. This waiting period has always tested our patience as we have to hold onto their tokens not knowing exactly when or if they will be able to exchange them for profit and dealing with the uncertain outcome of the projects they are promoting. If you look at their responses, they are sometimes positive and less responsive. if we ask when, they answer Soon  ;D ;D.

Another thing is that the bounty Hunter isn't really investing time because he loves the project, he is only doing so because he want to get paid and when this happens, he may never near that project ever again.

A bounty Hunter isn't really working for free. He is working with the hope of getting paid, that's what is driving him. The investor on the other is investing because he want to make money, so he invest his money.

It's not "time" they are spending, it is just wasting time at that point and never seen them to work very well at all. I have been involved in crypto for nearly a decade and I can easily say that bounties are the worst form of marketing ever.

I think it's quite important to remember that if some bot looking accounts shill you, that's not going to get investors invest into you, some people think that if you do bounty and airdrop, that's going to get people to be interested but we all know that it is not going to work and we are not going to see that make a difference. Just realize that it is not going to be a big deal, and we shouldn't really be caring about it all that much. I hope that the best thing to do at this case is to forget about bounties and just find another method to make money.

bounty projects are getting smaller and smaller prizes allocated to bounty hunters BUSD,USDT, and even then they are rare. when there is a project that looks good with equal token allocation while the distribution or less certain is just a waste of time. this is an option and I also have to do some research before joining the bounty, on the other hand there is still hope for airdrops.

Some time some bounty don,t pay thire allocation budget to hunter and try to scam all bounty hunter payments and some bounty pay us if we do 100 bounty and good quality bounty pay to the bounty hunter 10 bounties and in the 10 bounty giving hunter payments after ling time waiting that's why every bounty hunter need to keep patience more than traders traders can trade anytime but bounty hunter need to wait until confirmation from bounty manager.

What do you mean by working for free? A bounty hunter spends his time on tasks to fulfill the bounty's requirements, so he can be paid after all. There is time and effort invested on this activity, the same way an investor invests his money on a token or coin.

I believe the main difference between both categories is that investments are passive, so the person doesn't need to stay tuned all day long to make profit, while a bounty hunter will have to work on different tasks and social medias several hours of his day to get paid. Anyway, investments and bounty tasks involve risks of losing money for the people applying to them.

Are you pointing out the bounties back in 2017 like when ICOs were kinda hot topic in this forum? If it is then yeah, they were kinda still profitable before, but not so worth it in the long run as commonly I just earned around $20-$25 worth of shit tokens. It might be high in my own local currency, but I had better earnings just hodling Bitcoin so these should be at least somehow be more profitable, but nah.

You know what's the worst? It's a hit or miss situation. Your 3-5 months of work could be thrown away when the team just decided to call it quits and no one's going to stop them from doing so.

And this is the reason why I quit bounties starting from the old days of ICO. Just ain't worth consuming electricity over worthless work that I could somehow use it better for freelancing.

I don't think bounty hunter is investor, the only thing we invest is ljr spare time, and it's not enough to be called investor. Bounty hunter is more like a worker, the different is that we don't know whether we will actually getting paid until the coin listed on exchange, even after that we don't know if we will be paid enough.

I think it is quite important to realize that we shouldn't be really considering bounties as a big deal, I think it is quite important to find other sources of income but at the same time it doesn't take hours and hours to participate so unless you are spending money on it (which you shouldn't by logic) then doing it is not really that terrible. For example there are bounties on this forum, if you can't find one that pays btc or stablecoins, then instead of zero, just participating in a bounty is not that bad.

Sure, there is a high chance you will not get paid, or even if you do then it will be a token that doesn't worth anything, but even with all that in mind I feel like it compared to doing nothing at all, this is still a better thing for sure.

I disagree with you in some of your points here. It is true that some bounty Hunter make a mess of a project by making post like bots on social media without really actually shilling the project, and this sometimes can be counter productive for the project. But, on the other hand, there are some very good article out there that were written by hunters for a particular project and has helped a lot in letting people know more about a project.
So, don't just generalize, just because some are stupid enough to be making silly post without direction.

they are both patiently waiting for the project to be released and get a good response from the market, but patience is really needed here.
then another thing to watch out for is when the project goes down some bounty hunters and investors might panic and sell their tokens.

And you are right on your decision. Besides the costs of electricity of running your devices and using internet, which is also paid, your time spent also has a cost which has to be taken into consideration on the final calculation of an executed work to reach out the conclusion if it worths or not and if you are being fair to yourself or not as a worker. Personally I think it only worths to work for fixed payrates, so you know how long you are going to work and how much exactly you are going to get paid in the end.

if we join a good enough project their token has a price this is still good than the token being a display in the wallet forever. not to waste time, we must be able to research the project that we will join so as not to waste time. and there are still ways when we use the internet to be able to make money, airdrop, bugs, content creators as long as we want to fight

My experience tells me that sometimes to sell bounty rewards as soon as it hit the exchange may be a good decision. I have noticed some bounty posters who have complained of not making profit from the rewards after they left it believing it will increase and some reduce to nothing after a while. For me I decide not to regret when I take decision to sell.

I agree that it would be wiser to sell the bounty rewards right away after receiving them than waiting for the price to increase because most of the time, the prices drop down and these cons are having a hard time recovering. Some developers believe that bounty hunters could dump the price after getting paid but that's the wisest thing that bounty hunters can do so their efforts won't be wasted.
Reliable and legit bounty projects nowadays are fewer than scam projects so we have to be skeptical so we won't fall for their trap.

It is nothing more than stupidity if someone doesn't sell their bounty rewards only in the hope that the price of the token might increase in the future, it barely happens when an altcoin running a bounty campaign gets enough success and the token gains a significantly high value or at least goes higher than where it is at the launch, they mostly tend to lose value over time.

The best way to go about it is to sell it as soon as the token is listed in an exchange because sometimes developers or the team dumps all their tokens as soon as the token gets listed so that they can run away with funds they will receive by selling all their tokens and investors fall prey to that.

Depends on the bounty reward obtained. If the bounty reward is in the form of a project token that is still not listed anywhere, then there is no other way but to hold it until it is listed on an exchange or Dex. But if the bounty rewards are in the form of coins that have been registered such as Bitcoin, ETH or other coins the decision to sell is a pretty good decision. But if you still believe the price will go up, then wait and hold for the long term. it's a personal choice to hold or sell.

It is quite logical to sell immediately after receiving the award. But now most Westing Time projects have been introduced, so everything cannot be sold. Yes, and such approaches are better for projects. And then the depreciation of the coin immediately upon entering the market noticeably reduces faith in the coin.

Logical indeed on which going in the past on which it would really be just that ideal on selling out those coins while it would be listed out on exchanges but thats a big what if., because we know that most projects doesnt really end up on getting listed on platforms and mostly be traded on DEX and even the worst ending up on having no value because there's no demand into it. This is why as a bounty hunter and on the time that
they would really be getting their coins/tokens then it would be wise that should sell out immediate. The sad thing on here is that on the time that the value had decreased down, then they are the ones
whose really that get blamed on when there's a dump without even trying to look at that those investors are the main dumpers in the first place. Come in mind on how small the allocation is when it comes
to bounty or marketing stuff?

well there is most certainly some project that just went downhill after reaching all time high and will never get back up again.
if you are just seeking profit, selling immediately makes most sense indeed, since it could be invested somewhere else, but if you trust in the project surely you will holds.

They got their reward once the token gets pumped but they were only seeing their token without doing any action. It will better to sell it as soon as when we have got it from the market.
The hunters can sell it as soon as possible and then move it to the promising altcoins.

Your notion about selling coins immediately post-reward is compelling. But isnt it a bit narrow-minded? Isnt the crypto-world a bit more nuanced than that? The vast majority of Westing Time projects, as you correctly pointed out, have been launched. Yet, not all assets meet a successful fate on exchanges. Tokens get lost in the shuffle, their value fading into oblivion due to a lack of demand. So, a bounty hunter could logically rush to cash out. However, this haste can be problematic, no?

What happens when the tokens' value decreases? Scapegoating starts. The bounty hunters shoulder the blame for a market dump. But isnt that ironic? Arent the investors, the ones who initially inflate the price, the real culprits behind these market dumps?We need to question ourselves here: Is it justified to blame these bounty hunters who hold a minor share in the total distribution? Isnt the core issue the shaky foundations of these new projects? We need to critically examine this!

if it asks for opinions, then it will have varying answers. personally, I feel it is the same. we both want good results, and we both wait, and we also get the same results. it's just that, if we look deeper, bounty hunters will lose the time they have with also some effort, it may not be comparable to investors who have invested very much and they also lose time. however, whether they are equal or not, both are exposed to the risk of loss in investing in new projects. however, I think investors will experience more stress than bounty hunters.

Bounty hunters are considered investors with great patience.
I agree with that statement. Why? Because bounty hunters have to be very patient to benefit from their hard work. Bounty hunters have already conducted many campaigns and not a few of them have earned tokens that have no value. They have to wait patiently until the tokens can be sold on the market. In addition, there are also many tokens that are not valuable at all so they only keep them as mementos.

Yes, in some ways these comparisons are similar, since the first invest money and the second invest their time in the project. The ability to wait is necessary for two types of these users, since the goal for all of them is profit. But most often the investor still thinks whether to sell right away or wait for an opportunity for better, while the hunter almost immediately sells at the first opportunity.

Totally right, when we decided to become bounty hunter then it almost same like investor with a big patience.
The diferrent between us (bounty hunter) vs Investor is we only spend time to do the work, but we only spend 0 money.

That's not patience. Patience is doing something you have control over. With altcoin bounties, bounty hunters are forced to hold until their tokens are released or listed, and many of them sell right at the first moment it's possible to do so. Sometimes bounty hunters get attached to coins/tokens they are promoting, but mostly it's just for a show. Anti FUD of sorts.

You might be one of those few patient ones who sell them in a years after, but most of bounty hunters will sell under presale prices if necessary. Investors sell when they are in profit or if they want to cut their losses because bounty hunters or someone else is dumping the price. These two groups work very differently

Bounty hunters are investors, but not with money, but with the patience, time, and effort that they expended in promoting new projects whose tokens were not listed in the exchange platforms, and they are undoubtedly exposed in the first place to scam and their numbers can exceed hundreds and thousands of participants who seek to achieve good profits through the projects that they promote, which may be scams, or they refuse to pay them in the end. Yes, I agree that the patience factor links bounty hunters and investors because they undoubtedly wait months and years to achieve their goals of being able to sell their currencies after they are listed and make profits as a result of their long patience, and the thing I hope that the bounty hunters follow is that they do not work in any bounty and promote any project before they do their research and study all its aspects because in this way they will drag the investors who invested their capitals in the mud and lose them in the end.

From the word investor then its half true and not on which true in the sense that they have invested time and effort on promoting the project but not literally investing money into it which i would

say that they arent literally investors because there's no money involved which we know that once you do call yourself as an investor is on that  you do have put up money into it and invested and supported it. They are just marketers and promoters who do really give out exposure into the project at the same time they are getting paid with some tokens in exchange of that.
Bounty hunting is good way back but not in todays years considering that most of them arent paying and some of them might pay but ending up on having no value.

well at the end of the day i think it depends greatly on the project itself, after all if the project itself really think about the allocation the dumping isn't gonna be that massive.
moreover sometimes bounty hunters also try to look at circumstance, seeing whether the project is worth holding for long term.
to put it simply, bounty hunter also see whether their "investment" could be rising few folds by holding or the project itself actually just some mediocre.
after all there are plenty that holds their coin and reap the benefits of long term holding if you see from past bounties.

I don't think that every bounty hunter sells their tokens immediately after the token has been released in the market, though a larger percentage of hunters do that and the reason for that is that they don't believe the project and might think that the price will dump more later on, but they hold some of the tokens that they believe have the potential to grow in the future.

I've also known a lot of bounty hunters who used to keep all their tokens for a specific period of time just to see how much growth each one of the tokens they collected will gain and then they used to sell them and take the money together, this period is usually about a month or so.

many said that if we don't spend some money to invest then quite literally we aren't risking anything but we also spent energy to make the project more known to the worlds, it's advertisements, and I think that alone also deserving of rewards honestly.

Yeah maybe if it's some bounty in the past 2017, for now, it's a more saturated market and makes a harder for a bounty from some ICO to "survive" and gain traction.

I don't know man, most of the bounty is trash, so some trash is valuable and some is just.. trash.

Dominant like that  ;D ;D When the coin / token already has a market. What are you waiting for. But, it also makes sense as you say that not all bounty hunters sell their tokens immediately when they are released on the market because there is a sense of skepticism about the project and concerns about potential price drops and that is normal in my opinion.

Bounty hunters who believe in the long-term potential of a particular token and are smart definitely choose to keep the tokens they have collected, anticipating future growth usually around one month, to assess the token's performance and then make the right decision to sell it as a collective investment.

From my point of view, it is clearly different investors get these coins by exchanging money from their pockets, while bounty hunters do the ordered work according to the rules set by the project and then get the coins. So a fitting nickname for a bounty hunter is the marketing part of the project because it helps make it a success

That's kinda diferrent because as bounty hunter we didn't spend any money on the project, so we don't really have a big pressure like any other investor who really put their money into the project.

Yeah, now mostly bounty projects allocated very lowest worth of token even it’s not guaranteed such tokens will be listed or not end of the bounty campaign. And it’s true, it’s pretty difficult to get any stable coin bounty, if you got it but budget is very low instead of their participants. So, i'm also checking total allocation and if i will participate then how much i will get and if i think it’s not enough then i didn’t joined.

A bounty hunter is not typically considered an investor, as their work is focused on collecting bounties rather than investing capital for financial gain. However bounty hunters do require patience as they often have to spend long periods of time tracking down their targets and waiting for the right moment to make an arrest. In many cases, bounty hunter must also have a high level of skill and expertise in order to be successful in their work. This may involve knowledge of the legal system, investigative techniques, and physical combat skills. While there may be some similarities between the patience required by investors and that required by bounty hunters, the two profession are quite different in terms of their goals and methods.

On this forum, the contributions of bounty hunters are often underestimated. They perform a vital role similar to other marketing methods that require compensation. These individuals actively engage on various social platforms, inundating them with information about the project. In certain cases, they tirelessly retweet at regular intervals for weeks on end. These forums hold a special rank for viewership and trends. Despite their crucial efforts, bounty hunters are often remunerated inadequately, and sometimes their payments are delayed or even denied.

I think there is a big difference between the patience of a bounty hunter and the patience of an investor. An investor would never want to sell his own money at a loss after investing it, but a bounty hunter if he gets paid from a bounty, he will immediately withdraw coins or  He tries to sell the tokens because he has received these coins or tokens in exchange for little work. If he had bought and held with his own money, he would never have thought of selling at a loss.

Aha, an intriguing perspective, buddy. Yet, arent you sidelining the bounty hunter's intrinsic stake: Time, aptitude, and mental grit? They might not 'invest' conventionally like seeding capital for yields. Instead, they commit their hours, expertise, and gamble their safety, treating the bounty as their ROI. In essence, they're investors.

Their objectives may differ, their strategies vary, but the core ethos align substantially. Both necessitate patience, an aptitude for discerning people and scenarios, and making smart choices under duress. If thats not investment, then what is?

I'm not declaring them identical. But the boundary between them might not be as profound as we perceive.

Most of the campaigns are scams right now. I don't think those campaigns pay to their bounty participants unless the rewards are escrowed. I do not recommend anyone to participate in any bounty campaigns where the rewards are not escrowed.

Of the year 2017 was good response from ico even many project have successful in this year. At least 2017 year was good profitable for all bounty hunter. I was working many bounty of this year with i was receiving many valuable token. But now we should forget it even now just have little good bounty even money totally unknown.

Bounty hunter patience and investor patience have significant differences. Bounty hunters focus on instant rewards over a short period of time, whereas investors have long term goals with greater financial risk. Investors also need in-depth knowledge and the ability to manage emotions related to market fluctuations, whereas bounty hunters tend to focus on specific contests or promotions.

Well, hunters don't invest money so they won't get tired of waiting, unlike investors who really have the time frame for when to upload their coins. And these hunters can't be considered an investor because they just hold unless they are buying these coins. Investors hold their coins because that was their plan but hunters do hold because their tokens are not yet listed on the market. Because if it is already available for selling, I was certain that there is no holding happening to them, instead they are selling them immediately once get their rewards.

I’m not sure how bounty hunters are being classified as “investors” for the rewards that they have gained in the campaigns they’ve joined.

Although that they do hold tokens and being patient, it does not mean they are classified as “investors” unless they have used their own personal money to buy tokens and hold.

The only thing that bounty hunters are investing other than time and skills are just for paying gas fees to exchange their earned tokens in CEXs and DEXs.

At first glance it is true and it is possible that one of the many bounties will buy the project he is participating in as an addition to his investment portfolio with the condition that he has seen the big potential ahead. This means indirectly he is also an investor but in a small category. Yes. it is true that what you convey requires expertise in citing a campaign. whatever that is.

Both of them have in common and that is both of them are about to hold but in terms of acquiring their coins or tokens are totally different.
That is why they are being called hunters and while the others are investors and it literally has a different meaning. Because Investors had to choose what projects to invest in and spend money on it while hunters just get it with just a little effort and no worry about losing as they are not spending money.  That was clear enough to say that they are different.

Bounty in the 2017 are most of them are trusted.Many bounty hunters had earned huge from it.But now many fake projects flooded in the forum because of many less experienced people running bounty with the payment of 100$ to them for a week.But the good project will hire the good bounty manager in the forum.You should check the profile of bounty manager before applying to it.Even now many Good campaign manager was their with huge experience.I will request the good project to hire good bounty manager.

Bounty hunters definitely plays important role in spreading word for any upcoming project and they attract investors too but real investors who put their money take the maximum risk and their risk and patience can not be equal to a bounty hunters patience.

If investors do not put in their money, even hunters work will go down in vain because promoters may abandon the project for the lack of funds.

Both hunters and investors are essential for a projects success but investors have got upper hand.

In my personal opinion I think that bounty is a marketing strategy where the main purpose to lunch it is the attract peoples to invest on their project. And where that investment came from is not very important main fact is that the investment is happening. I myself have been attracted by bounty promotions and invested many times but mostly faced losses. But I don't think all bounty hunters invest as thoughtfully as professional investors. And that's why their amount is more in terms of loss.

based on my experience being a bounty hunter are not only patients investors, they are also hard workers who spend their time and resources in a project that is not even so clear that it will be profitable in the long run. Bounty hunters also are risk takers that are supposed to be recognised in the cryptocurrency industry. Most times their efforts and resources are wasted because some of the projects they promote ends up not becoming what they promised to become and these shit tokens become useless in the wallet of the bounty hunters.

well to be frank many bounty hunters are the reason a project could be well known. its not only limited to certain platforms.
even those that promotes in social media through the use of catly or some platform like that are definitely the ones that helps project save their money from overspending for their marketing advertisement.
imagine for having the same impression how much money need to be spent by these projects for like google advertisement? definitely hundred thousand of dollars honestly.
yet the role kept being downplayed by so many people now knowing how important it actually is.

Participating in bounty campaigns here in the forum holds more value compared to being an investor, as those who join invest their time, patience, and money. Based on my experience, a majority either do not receive payment or if they do, it's often in the form of a worthless token that can't be traded. Some rely on luck when participating, without conducting proper research, while others diligently study before joining. However, I believe that conducting research is better than not, because as we gain experience from these campaigns, we learn even more.

Since 2017 was good timing for bounty hunter and during this time they participated in many projects and earned money and I also ended up with them. Later on malicious obstacles such as many scam projects in ico increased due to which the number of bounties slowly decreased. At that time the number of investors was high and the hype of btc started again.
