don't rely on gift tokens because that will only bore you and not to mention you have to wait for them to be listed on the exchange or at least until they have a sale price to make up for your hard work.
I suggest balancing your time with other things you can do in this market and I think there are many ways to make a profit besides a prize campaign. I say this because I also feel bored with them and what I produce from gift tokens does not produce sweet fruit.
at this time I balance with trading, how about you?

true if relying on bounty campaign is difficult right now, but I still do it and also I do crypto trading activities by buying people's tokens at a price slightly cheaper than prices on exchange.

Yeah most of bounty hunters are in the same hoat i also feel bored now as most of the campaigns in the recent months have either not paid us or paid very small amount of reward so i feel discouraged but i still try to find good campaigns and try to stay active so that my patience and hard work pays off if i find some good project and campaign, i know it is hard but i will suggest everyone to keep working even in these tough times.

I only do bounties nowadays as an alternative thing, I do not rely on it but I can use it as means of extra earning without depending entirely on it. I have some tokens that are dead and others that are not listed, that taught me not to rely on bounties.

Trading would be good if you have the background and experience. This doesn't suit everyone, there are people who tried it thinking that they'll become successful with it because they've heard success stories through trading.

But in reality, there are people who fail and there are those who succeeds. It is combination of different factors on how to become a good trader but as long as you have already know your flavor in trading, yes you are balancing your time correctly.

I'm also done with this gift and airdrops, but there's still a lot of airdrops, I think they are targetting these newbies, thinking that these airdrops will soon have value in the market in the future when the fact is they are just being used by developers of these airdrops to make their coin popular in the market and dump all their chunks when it hit the exchange.

Some capital can also come from the results of prize campaigns if there are some tokens that have been exchanged and sold, some can also come from our personal capital, to balance not in a rush to trade, but it is important to remember that trading is not only a skill but depends on  many factors and others

Doing trading together with bounty campaign participation is a nice way to earn some extra cryptocurrencies to increase our portfolio yet it

would be also great if we could think of other ways to maximize our  earnings like offering  certain services by using any talent and skills we

have including buying and selling goods via crypto.

 

I also tried to do trading. But it turns out even worse for me. So I returned to participating in bounty campaigns.

That's correct, the value hunters  get from the hard work of nowadays is not worth the effort. Diversification of work is certainly a better option, at least they can complement one another.

I will say add a skill to your time, skills lasts a lifetime. Gift ideas okens won't be here forever or won't worth the time, resources invested in them but a learnt and well developed skills lasts a life time. As blockchain is revolutionising the world, a skill in blockchain is of the most relevant.

Gift tokens,airdrops and bounties belongs to same category,you have to hold till they get listed on exchanges and most times its a total waste of time and some times you will get some profits if they later get listed on exchanges,trading is another good way of making profit but promoting airdrops and bounties is not bad either so i will say its better to keep doing both

I understand that most gift tokens are complete waste of time but some really are worth it,some weeks back i particitpate in a free gift airdrop for BAGS token which is a deflation project with use case and i received my free BAGS token,yesterday i noticed its been listed on exchange and its trading at 0.13$ which i never expected,if you can give a try sometimes it might end up worthing it

and it is indeed a fact, that the current prize project is not giving good results even most of the projects are not paying. in the past year only some could pay me and that too was not a big prize. therefore I am currently taking a new option by doing daily trading

I was a newbie, like some of you, so I understood what you felt because I actually had felt the same. Let me give a short tutorial.

- At beginning, you should not pay too much attention, and time to visit Service, Bounty boards. Since the day forum has merit system (merit system released (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2818350.0), and enhanced (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5030366.0)), there is no opportunities to rank up (even to Junior Member - that is the lowest rank can wear signature and allows in campaigns/ bounties) simply by shitposts
- Instead, you should read rules, and more basic but essential in forum, that will sure play important roles to help you later, if you want to make your career here.
- Don't solely focus on shit bounties and likely scam projects, because it might destroy your account, and you might get nothing with trashy tokens.
- Trying to apply in good campaigns, that will boost you to work harder, and become better user over time.
When you apply to your first campaign that has high payment rates in bitcoin, ie. you will have to try with better posts than those ones before you apply. It is fact and there is no need to hide that fact. Me too.
It is normal if you fail with your first application in first good campaign you choose to apply. So, let's move forwards by keep improving your post quality, and repeatedly applying in other good campaigns.
Eventually, someday you will get your spot (of course, only if you don't give up, and seriously keep improving your post quality).
- Overtime, you will feel more joy and less pressure when making good posts. When making good posts turns to be your posting habit, you will get fun with each of your posts. Believe me!
- Overtime, you will rank up, your account will become higher competitive, and you will have better odds to join in campaigns, with better income.

There is a thread from Brainboss: Advantages of engaging in quality contributions on the forum. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5137241.0)

Yes you are right. You don't have to rely on gift token if you want to earn. From the word gift you don't have to rely on it to have an income. You can do other activity where you can get  good income like trading and bounty. Today I am continue to have trading while having a bounty campaign. Because I believe that having multiple source of income is the road to achieve my goals.

I wonder when will these airdrops end when only the developers are the one making money here, airdrops participants know that 90% of these are fake or failed projects but they keep going on or after they quit doing this, all the people or newbies they've recruited are the one that's going to replace them doing airdrops, it's a cycle that will not end.

Because there are developers who will make money and participants, who keep hoping that what they are holding will have values in the market in the future. And besides, this is not really an airdrop because they made you do a task like promoting in social media, it's more like a bounty campaign.

Usually gift tokens value from bounties or from giveaway is not high and rather than wait the tokens listed into an exchange which is the price still unpredictable i think if you feel those projects legit then nothing wrong if bought more and lately earning money from gift tokens is not profitable anymore so rely on from that is not be good decission or you can try other way bought the tokens while listed on the exchange i think that's good too because the price sometimes cheaper

Yes, many people are desperate to wait for the rewards from the bounty campaign. They still wait for another time to see the token is list on the exchanges, and sometimes, they need to wait for a long time. Trying to trading will be a good choice for you if you don't want to wait for a long time like them. But I suggest you to learning more about trading so you can earn money.

Relying only on bounty and airdrop for survival will always lead to a sorry life. I use to rely on bounty campaign because I thought every project will succeed, but after many failed projects from bountyhive, I had to start trading, I have made from trading what bounty campaign couldn't deliver for more than a year. If one has the fund and know how to select a good coin, trading is far better.

I think you're just getting involved. There are people who are rich thanks to the tokens you call gift token. I remember winning $ 3,000 from a bounty campaign. It's not something to be underestimated!

If you are intend to make cryptocurrency will be as your source income then you have to find another thing, don't just rely on bounty campaign either who paid with token or bitcoin. You have to spend your money to start investing or do a day trading. I believe you do these thing or at leasr you you pick trading only you will have a better life in the future.

You will find a lot of knowledge against it and you will learn it as much as you can and eventually you have an understanding. So as when you try to spend your saving money to start trading I guess you will waste it even you will get a high experience. I just tell to you, if you focus on bounty and signature campaign I believe with 100% you wont get anything in the future.

While waiting for the tokens to be listed ( if possible and if not scam) of course, divert your attention to the other things. Find other way to gain in other fields, convert your attention to new things that may still benefit you. At first, i do think joining in some bounties is useless because waiting is really difficult and it is unsure project but when they have already listed it in exchange while doing some signature campaigns here, I do realized my efforts are worth enough.

Every time when I get bounty tokens, I feel that people think that there are two kind of tokens. The first one is the dirty token, that was earned by hunters, airdrop participants and so on. Another token is clean and shiny that was bought from the token sale. People who think like that are insane and should leave this industry.

You are right if we just rely on the Bounty campaign, I think it will only cause boredom. Moreover, now not all projects can succeed and many are experiencing failures.

I personally to prevent not getting bored with my gift campaigns, I do daily trades. I am with a trade capable of generating a little profit. And when we have no result of a bounty campaign, by doing trade certainly can afford to cost living.

I might not totally agree with you. There's really little or no boredom with cryptocurrency. There are many bounty projects that are top quality but many people can't find it or know this because they don't have good project analytical skills and thus won't do such projects. Right now as we speak, there are three new top Korean projects with exciting products to help Foster cryptocurrency adoption one can engage on. I suggest that Bounty hunters who take up bounty hunting full time should spend more on improving and Horning  thier research and analysis skills

You only have once choice here if you don't want to be a bounty hunter and that is to do trading. You are correct when you say that we shouldn't rely on tokens we got from bounty because history tells us that project takes time to list their token on exchange for whatever reason, and this is the number complain of bounty hunters. But most of the time, people doesn't want to learn trading and would rather work for months and years and wait for their bounty token and hope that they can make money of out it. Trading is a good option, its going to be a challenge in the beginning, specially if you don't know anything about it. And then the initial capital, so it really depends on the individual here, we have a choice so make the best out of it.

I think people Don't rely on bounty income. A lot of bounty hunters become trader now!  So, the bounty is not a bad or boring thing. If you are able to find good bounty, you will do it happily. And, after getting a major payment, you can be a trader too!

Frankly speaking, there will be no hope with a free gift of tokens but that's not to be compared to what was obtainable in the past like 2017. Some of my friends asked me to helped sell their tokens and after sometimes, I was told that those tokens where free airdropped tokens and without value. Personally I can't reply on any free token without listing on any exchange, also, most of these tokens are spam tokens.

You pertain about gift tokens are those tokens which you do able to get from bounty campaigns.These coins doesnt really have value on the first  place until the project or team will list out their tokens into various exchangers and as a bounty hunter you wont really have any choice but to wait up until it got listed.When? it might take forever because usually these projects do fail or eventually die.So its better not to expect on what you hold because it would just simply frustrate you and you are right there are lots of things that you would able to do while you are waiting.Utilizing your times into various things and you had selected trading which is pretty wise because this is way more worthy of your time and effort since this can give out possible income or profit if you do able to trade well.

I met different people in the crypto market, someone likes to trade and invest, someone likes to mine, there are also people who like to participate in airdrops and bounty campaigns. Previously, people managed to make dozens of airdrops a day, but it is a pity that the earnings from them were very small.

I agree with you. Never think to rely on the gift tokens got from bounty campaigns. It rarely gains money, most of them just ended with a very small amount. So, we need to think about another way to earn money. Based on my experience, trading is a better way to earn money. Maybe, we can start by daily trading with small capital, then we can try the other types of trading.

i think not just trading, we can make our own time valueable by doing real job in our real life, or doing some thing great in our life. i know looking your eyes on market is important if we are trader and crypto investor. but dont forget about your life and your family guys :)

You dont need to rely on bounties and airdrops, but you must do them.
just give 2-3 hours of your everyday and that is enough.
You can continue living your life and work as a normal basis and just do the sideline for this cryptocurrency.

I also do some trading and I do bounties too when I have the time. It is important that we need to be able to balance our time with som much things in crypto but at the same time, we should not be over working ourselves with it so that we won't experience issues with our health. What is the sense of having so much if you will just spend it in medicine.

The timing market is the stressful form my experience, the correct results will never correlate the expected outcome. Besides spending time with the airdrops, bounties I learn the deepest available ways of trading and the options for the choosing right project for investing purposes. Bounty payments are source of passive income, overestimating its use case can cause other problems. The passive income methods are there always but timing the right moment is dependent on the skills of the bounty hunter.

Bounty is a great way for a beginner to get acquainted with the cryptocurrency industry and gain experience. Making bounty a profession in these times is not very reasonable...

During 2019, bounties and airdrops will become more dramatic. There are problems, such as the bounty period is extended without the addition of rewards, an allocation is cut, distribution is postponed, listings are stopped, tokens are locked, etc. It does make us disappointed, well, that's the risk. The bounty project that previously looked promising could end in drama. We must understand that as a risk. However, there are still many quality projects. That is why I prefer bounties with short periods, weekly payments, and rewards in the form of coins or tokens that have been registered on the exchange, at this time.
Lately, IEO, staking, and cloud mining are quite popular, which can be used as an alternative to earning a profit.

I am trying to search the other profit from trading because I see that right now, I have a chance to buy low and sell high. Although I cannot make a huge profit in one or two-time trade, I am sure that if I can do many times trading, I will have a bigger profit from trading. I have my tokens in my wallet, and it's waiting for the token get list on the exchange. But I realize that it will need a long time to see the token will get a list, so I decide not to think about the tokens.

It is better to search for the profit from another way, and don't depend on the token only because we have time to make a profit from trading. So let we try to buy any potential coins at the market, and hopefully, we can make a profit again.

if you have trading skills then do it because it's a good way for you to get a profit other than waiting for a gift token. I also sometimes do daily trading but the results are not good because I do not have much capital and even the capital that I use results from the sale of gift tokens that are not large.

many current prize campaigns do not produce big prizes, well I know about that plus the account that I have depends very much on the contribution of the project prize peg. but I am still eager to hunt down tokens from the gift that I will use again for trading capital.

It is good to balance your time so you earn money from different avenues. Like trading or performing free lancer jobs in order to earn more money. Its not good to depend on one source of income.

as we can see that the current market conditions are not good for prize campaigns, plus if the project uses the erc20 platform there is very little chance and in fact many tokens generated from this platform are difficult to develop. therefore you should not expect too high with a gift token, once in a while do other more profitable options including trading.

I hate it honestly when we make what we get from these campaigns sounds like gift, that is why they no longer value us because it feels to them like they are doing us favor, do you know what it takes to spend your time on the system sharing post and submitting reports, in my country, this is what some people basically do in the office, I mean something related to that and they go home with $1500 to $2000 every month, but this one is like a contract job and yet we are still not being paid.

If there was a regulation, I am sure that for any project to hire bounty hunter, they must have also paid for it if there was an escrow service, and I know it will get to that, but I agree with you that since the situation is like this, we have to learn to move forward and think of other benefits that we can grab in this cryptocurrency industry.

There are several opportunities in the cryptocurrency space. I must confess that gift tokens which are mostly in form of airdrops was a very good start for me in the market, as I was unwilling to invest in the market. But as one grows in the market, we gain more understanding and opportunities to explore and earn more from the market.

You are wrong, by doing bounty campaigns and airdrops you can easily diversify your portfolio.
You can hold earned coins, if you believe in the project´s future. Or you can sell it and buy cheap altcoins. :)

it is true that there are still many ways to earn income in this market industry forum but not everyone can do that, because everyone has limited knowledge. for you it's easy to say but for me it's not easy, even if you switch with Your trading options also must always be ready for all the consequences.

It seems to me that in some cases you can get more benefit from those companies that have repeatedly distributed their tokens for free.  As an example, I can bring the MINDOL project (MIN), which has established itself well in the cryptocurrency market.  At the same time, the Bitstaq project, where I performed the work with the help of the Bounty company, did not Evaluate the work of all participants at all.  They practically deceived us and at the same time their tokens generally fell in price.

Very true. If you made it a profession maybe like 3-5 years ago then it might have made sense since there are many ICOs and companies that have great projects and great management team that many bounty hunters can rely on. But this year it is not really a good idea to give full time on bounties simply because many are merely giving low or no value coins and tokens and many more are scams.

To survive, we must be able to take advantage of every opportunity. if the bounty is too much drama due to many payment delays, we can ignore the long duration bounty project and choose bounties with weekly payments or those that are paid with coins or potential tokens such as BTC or ETH. lately, IEO is quite popular, it can be one of the good opportunities.

Indeed. This is one of the risks that we should take when only relying on the rewards or gift token from bounty, airdrop, and other programs, especially from the new projects. Sometimes, it is like wasting time, but we also cannot judge that the project will fail. It is about investment for the future. If we are holding the tokens or coins from rewards, we must be aware that we hold it for the next one or two years or more, not for the fast making money.

Trading, different kinds of mining, long-term investing, ICO/IEO, bounty and airdrop hunting... You should try everything I think, and then decide what is your favourite activity here, in crypto :)

yes of course you cannot depend on gift tokens because the gift of gift tokens is not a complete guarantee for your daily needs, I'm talking about gift campaigns and not about real-world jobs. but if you don't have a real job and your time depends only on the prize campaign, you also have to understand all the risks. in this industry there is no real guarantee that you have to consider a lot before making a decision.

You should never rely on any one thing. You need to diversify especially when you working for yourself. But do not be fooled into think a job is safe. IF you lose your job you have nothing to fall back on. If you lose a job on the forum there are many others to replace it.

That's what I'm doing right now, supporting short term bounties is really beneficial, you can balance your time and it won't stress you out, while long terms are always risky and doubting BUT if became successful, it will give you more than what you expect.

There are many more opportunities out there, you can try things carefully and pick the platform you want to be in.

Lesser time of doing the bounty the quicker you can balance your time and move forward, and yes, there's a lots of ways where you can find things that will be suited to what you can provide, this industry do have many doors where you can work on and  offer your service or invest your money and keep enhancing your skills for additional benefits, it will be more enjoyable once you find the right venue to place your time and your money.

Gift tokens that can be gained from airdrops are not really useful. Even most of them are valueless in the market, you won't be able to sell it immediately.
Unless we do other things like trading or something, we cannot gain profit at all. But trading itself requiring some skill so you won't get loss to much.

yup bounty campaign nowadays are uncertain and infact mostly are play money. So much better to find some projects where you can obtain real money.  Such finished projects..because your just wasting time and opportunities if you always relying in it.. Don't fall easily on their words especially fresh project.  Which is make a research behind always to ensure if it's worth it to invest or not.  Be smart!

I think there are nothing more than getting tokens for your hard work as a bounty hunter. I believe every hard work pays off at the end. I have encountered some projects not awarding bounty hunters and not listing their products on exchanges. But there are also good projects which have valued bounty hunters.

Yes, bounty hunting is tough and at times not rewarding, so I try to keep myself engaged in some other stuff like trading some of my Alts here and there. Trading is a very good option. Another thing I would suggest is Arbitrary trading, it is very rewarding and requires skill and knowledge but is very fun to do so I will suggest others to do the same.

I think it's not only bounty, but almost most of the market is having a hard time and to get profit, I think it's also a difficult thing. it's true what you say about time balance.

but I prefer to other markets or other forums, to sell online to fill the so long bounty and crypto market that is falling.

Agree, work and seek profit in the cryptocurrency market is very flexible and I think we can use our time to do other things. Working in the cryptocurrency market we can do in our free time

Let me correct your definition of a Gift token you should know that bounty hunting is not just about free tokens! Its a form of cheaper marketing strategy, and promoting any project is not free thats why "its not a gift token/coin it was a payment for our work on promoting them it was a payment for our sweat and effort. Where did you find any form of advertising that directly paid with worthless tokens "Only in the bounty campaign" thats my opinion about that. In the other hand you were right we must seek another way other than just bounty works, like me in doing day trading on Binance Exchange since 2017 sometimes i gamble on some blockchain gambling site, because its boring to wait on unproductive bounty campaigns. specially these time that project team has creating a new norms and even changing their own rules after the bounty campaign was finished that leave participants in vain!

Trading in the world of Crypto is no guarantee that you can achieve instant profits and become an impromptu rich person. There are several things that need to be learned such as strategies, understanding, and concepts about safe trading to avoid the risk of loss.
Maybe for a while participating in a bounty campaign will be a good solution to get back profit without risk of loss.

I wouldn't call it a gift token though, because bounty hunters also work for it. It's not giving to them for free. ICO tokens can really be frustrating and I'm speaking from experience here, the long wait for the coin to get listed and the hope that when it does, it is worth a sell is really energy sapping.

I do not advice anyone to solely depend on ICO bounties and their tokens, they are not as reliable as the bitcoin or bitcoin paying bounties, get into other crypto related activities, most importantly try and trade bitcoins.

i agree! there's no use waiting for it, we can do a variety of things that will bring us just the same in no time at all. scalping, for instance.

Trading can be very profitable, but the risk is huge. To become a trader, you need to research the market, learn how to read price charts, analyze daily news.
I used to be a daily trader but after losing money I switched to holding for long.

Yes it is true, most bounty hunters depend on the rewards of the project they are working on. But sometimes the results obtained are not appropriate or the tokens are not yet listed on the exchange and do not have a sale price so often we think that what we are doing is futile and trading I think is the right choice to benefit from cryptocurrency and not depend on the rewards from the bounty project that we do.

Gift token? You mean the tokens you earn in bounties? People need to be more selective with them. I think IEO is helping a lot since you at least get something for your efforts even if the price crashes, though no one wants to see the project they support crash like that.

This is why you must not look at the amount you are being paid or current worth. IT is all about how much it is worth when it hits the exchange or at least has some time to grow.

All bounty hunters have the same problems as you. Collecting many tokens/coins but they have too cheap prices or even no prices.
That's why I think gift tokens/bounty tokens are just for side investment, we need top coins/tokens for the main investment.
While trading, it must be done for all people to gain faster profits and optimize chances for more income.

But the original price on ICO's or IEO's has always been a benchmark for bounty hunters how much they will get.

The most annoying about that is not the price when listed on exchange, but they changed the rule after the bounty ended, this is always happen especially nowdays, they reduce separate the rewards or anything else, the reason is to protect the price down from bounty hunter who sell the token, but the fact is they only care how to protect their money because they don't have good strategies when listed on exchange.

I do trading and also blogging to earn money from different side.

A lot of folks see bounty campaign as their job, so what they do to meet up, is to try as many projects at the same time. The rewards received now, is nothing compared to what is being given out to bounty hunters now.
In those days, it requires little effort to get huge reward. While now, reverse seems to be the case.

I agree that there are many ways we can make money here in cryptocurrency, and Airdrops / Giveaways are just a part of making a profit. But you don't have to pay close attention to it since there are no free tokens for us to earn here in crypto but in Translation bounty, Community Manager, Signature campaign and Content creator in all the campaigns you can find.

Gift tokens are free tokens and they won't cost you a thing, the time you will spend to claim free tokens is not up to a minute or two minutes so don't tell me that its not worth it, they are for free and luckily they can bring few dollars or more, the few ones i claimed are tradable on exchanges

Token hunting requires fees, such as regular data fees or internet connections. without connection you cannot search for gift tokens. it means that you are lucky to get a prize token that generates a few dollars or more especially if the token is already listed on the exchange. now many tokens are difficult to register on the exchange and when listed on the exchange many tokens lose their value.

Balance with almost everything, don't just rely on a single source without assurance that you will make through them. These days are no longer reliable for bounties and although there are still participants that come through them, they will understand it soon that they shouldn't fully dependent on it.

You're right! While cryptocurrency does not show a very good price, and token earning companies increasingly do not give results, you need to think about additional earnings. I believe that if you participate in various campaigns to receive free cryptocurrency, then you need to treat this as an accumulative asset, and at the same time earn in other directions. Perhaps it makes sense to do trading.

In every case we must always provide a plan B. Join the bounty campaign is always full of surprises, sometimes a lot of drama, especially in this saturated market. As the OP said, most bounties now have a long distribution and listing period, though not all mostly like that. Then we have to be more selective if possible choose bounties whose tokens or coins already exist in the exchange. Or choose a bounty with weekly payment, it would be great if the reward is in the form of coins and strong tokens like BTC and ETH.
Besides bounty, I also trade. Sometimes I also do whatever I can do as a freelancer.

This is true. If you participate only in the bounty of the company, it will not bring much profit. It is necessary to have alternative ways of earning.

Instead of trading, I just invest and wait for the profit to come on it. In a situation like that, you can first analyze what you want to invest in, follow it up with every details, check out their activities. If there are big news on the wsy, you can use those news to get your profits by selling during those periods.

There are no alternatives to bounty companies. Trading is not for everyone and most lose money rather than earn.

That is the challenge in trading, you should commit in trading if you like to be part of the 1% earning in trading. Trading skills are high income skill because once you master the art of trading then you will have a limitless opportunities to earn money through trading, whether it is stock market, forex or cryptocurrency.

Most bounty token are worst IMO, since there are many people who consider that an ICO project just end up in scam. I never heard again if there are some bounty hunters who get a lot of profit through bounty campaign and it is since 2017 ago, I really never heard again.

Even most of them just complain, because most of token that they get from it doesn't have a price and yeah it is not worth anymore, just sitting down on their waller and they just wait the miracle. If you have many interest to invest on altcoin, you can spend your money to participate on IEO project and you will get the short term profit, I think that is good idea.

Yes indeed, the rewards given are too cheap when compared to the initial expected price, so this situation makes the bounty hunters reluctant to promote new projects that are less good and some may stop.
I stopped being a bounty hunter maybe since mid-2018 because what I was working on didn't produce anything. Therefore I am now more focused on the real world until things like this get better. And fortunately, my job now is not so difficult so that I can still open bitcointalk and follow one campaign.

This may be true, doing other things such as trading may be of help. but we should consider that not everyone can do trading.
Not everyone has experience and also not everyone has their own capital to start trading.
So, we can't blame the other bounty hunter if they focus all of their time doing bounty hunting and waiting only for their rewards.

Trading is a good choice, it will be a challenge in the beginning, especially if you don't know anything about it. And then the initial capital, so it really depends on the individual here, we have a choice to make the best of it. You also have to understand price growth in the market if prices go down we can buy and sell when prices go up. You must buy coins that have high volumes such as ETH, BTC.

Not only that as you can see most of them is no real value once its tradable in exchange which means all your effort promoting is just a waste of time. If you are satisfied with the 1-10$ and  included transaction fee  then keep going. But if you know other things you can earn much better way then forget about bounty .

It's still better to have a main job and doing bounties in your spare time looks like a better option. Having stable income is better rather than those tokens that have uncertainty if it's going to be listed on some exchange. If however, you want to full-time go on crypto, then maybe trading is a lot viable option for you. You control your time, your trades, and profit is promising, but the risks are also high. Still though, every decision comes with risks. They just vary in degrees of possible loss/profit.

I invest on altcoins and wait for profits to be taken out and i am also a full time bounty hunter too, i have tried trading but its just not for me cos i don't still get how it works very well

many investors are less interested right now to follow the bounty because there are many scams at the end of the work we do and maybe now it is better to trade with crypto currencies will be more profitable with our confidence and patience capital and clever to take advantage of every opportunity we will get in investing with the cryptocurrency we will get

Yup and it's not everyone's cup of tea however how do we know if it's not for us? Then we should at least give it a try, sure it will hurt a little but who knows we will have our luck in trading. Needless it really takes a lot of courage and learning before we can at least acquire it.

I would suggest to take some online courses to gain knowledge and skills that soon we can offer in freelancing world.

I think investment and trade are enough to produce in the crypto world, besides bounties or airdrops. because we don't know what the future of crypto is like, so for work problems don't focus on just one field, look for something other than in the crypto world, like a real business example.

for prize hunters in 2017 in my opinion it is very profitable and is currently turning around when the ICO scam has a lot of message everywhere. right now I think that is profitable investment like IEO. leave it to be a bounty hunter, if you still should do the analysis first, so that your time is not wasted in vain.

You can have higher chances of surviving and earnings from this venue of business if you will not tie yourself from single things, making yourself
well informed with how you can maximize your stay. If you have good amount of invested money you can work with any types of trading practice
find what is suited to you and work to learned more strategy. While working on how to enhance your skills better to joined bounties as you can earned while learning around.

I don't think that's a bad idea, if you do daily trading for a profit other than hunting for gift tokens. but for me trading is very risky even though it is profitable, I don't dare to take risks because to be honest I have no knowledge at all about trading.

You are right mate, many have taken the wrong part of staying idle whenever they are done with bounty campaign because they thought that, the tokens will be listed immediately after the end of the project. I was a victim of this circumstances but later regretted my actions. Many projects I have promoted are yet to see the light of the day, while some are totally dead as we speak. I have a real life job with full-time and just adding cryptocurrency as an additional option.

Disagree with you, trading should be an alternative to bounty participation. We have seen many projects frustrating the bounty hunters because they lack the ingredients for the project to see potentials investors to invest. I did a lot.of bounties without any tangible thing to show for my participation, this prompted me to undergo a training on Udemy on how to trade, I have not regretted my actions as this skill now make me enough of money as a trader.

Leaning new skills will help us stay for a longer time before bounty tokens appreciate, than be discourage on a long run of holding without reality.

However, I am quite dependent on bounty rewards (if you mean gift tokens) because this is one of my most important sources of income to fulfil my daily life and future. So I am very selective in choosing bounty projects. I prioritize quality over quantity, the important thing is I can run it well and it has to be really potential. Although it is difficult to predict and full of surprises, if we try our best and are always grateful for whatever we can, we will always feel enough.
Of course, I try to do other work because cryptocurrency is very dynamic, I need passive income, therefore I am raising capital to open an independent business. So far I am still comfortable and quite as a freelancer.

Good bounty projects that doesn't give good profit today can rise up tomorrow especially good projects that haven't get listed yet, i will hold unto some bounty token for future altcoin season, i belief i will make something good out of tokens

It is true that finding a good campaign now is hard and some of them not worth your time and effort, that is why i start digging to find some project owners that pays btc or eth and offer any service that i can provide even if i get paid a small amount at least i have those two strong coin that i can add to my bag for long term holding because i strongly believe that their price will go up in the next coming year.

i agree with that , because bounty is not good as before , i mean last year.
also i didn't join any airdrop to get some token , because i think the token is quite hard to get listed in exchange.
but , i also have alternative way , like investing my money and trading to get extra money instead of hoping from campaign.

At first, the bounty program seems interesting. We study mechanics, community and functionality. But soon it starts to get very annoying in this you are right. It takes me very little time to bounty the company today. I began to spend more energy on my main type of work. Many offer an alternative to bounty companies-trading. But there is no time to learn and plus I am not ready to risk again.

Instead of devoting the whole of your time to online stuffs like this, you can also try to engage yourself with online businesses. If you are incapacitated for this, you can still make some funds through bounty, airdrops and the likes, than use such fund to start a business that will serve as another source of income.

I do my daily work at the company, for me joining the bounty program is an additional job and now there are many new altcoins that have new products and new ideas.
Bounty has several allocations that allow participants to hold their coins from the bounty or sell them.

It's not applicable to the all gift token I think, There is something special thing also, In 2017 and 2018, I got a lot of gift tokens I don't mention those name but some of those are worth for me, but you should not run after those project because most of the project doesn't carry any value at the end, some of those are scam and some of those nothing to mean. but in my experience, I could make something worth in comparison to some recognize coins, but it's true at the current situation, a worthy bounty is very rare and their token doesn't worth a value. some scam ICO projects are the main responsible for this situation.

Airdrops nowadays are nothing but pure of trash coins, like what OP said, you'll wait until it's going to be listed on an exchange (forkdelta) most of the time, and the price is not that big, for you to hold and sell it when the time comes, you'll just become a bag holder full of shit coins. In the year 2017 based on my experience, dark ethereum gave me a lot of profits, for free, yes, for free.

but since it became a trend like ICOs, airdrops slowly lower their giveaways and those who are giving giveaways are mostly those projects thst turned out scam in the end.

Yes it will only stress us, We should not expect the value of what they promise to pay us because it will only give us headaches. It is better to find another income. Because the time we spend here is a waste of time.

You can trade, or you can apply to freelance jobs for bitcoin payments.

Rightfully so. now I no longer depend on the bounty campaign. more time is used for trading. although I am alone with limited capital but satisfied when every day can get income. of us relies on uncertain things like bounties which clearly no longer provide benefits. so we have to find another busy life, to be able to get income

Actually bonus tokens are playing a big role in projects success. There are enough examples, when project teams have distributed 100-300 percent bonuses for early contributors, which made the token price fall after exchange listing. It has never recovered again, so bonus tokens can literally destroy the project.

It is very good if you make the bounty program as an additional work in daily life, because I am also like that, I share the time for the bounty for only 5 hours a day, the rest I stay focused on my main job in the computer shop.

Soon we'll be able to benefit from the gift tokens we've been receiving all this while, when we enter the altcoin season. Presently the market is down, the way we can survive out of it, is by trading the little we have.
Depending only on bounty campaigns shouldn't be advisable now, the bearish market is existing

yes you are right we should not only rely on prize tokens from campaigns to be able to benefit from cryptocurrency. we should also do daily trading and also long-term investment. but sometimes daily trading is also unprofitable if the crypto market conditions are bad or most coins are red. so in my opinion we should also have professional work not to rely on cryptocurrency as the main income. make cryptocurrency a side job and additional income.

I only consider gift tokens as the airdrop, so if they give their promised token with a value then that's something to be thanked for as support will hold it. The rest like discounts, bounty are fruit of work or salary they need to paid in us. There's no such free in this world now so we need to earn it, find ways, It might be from our investment or thru our hardworks. We can always find in service discussion to find work suit us to add in our trading and bounty earnings.

Side income is not bad however do not participate on suspicious projects aside from getting a no value token you might end your information fall to bad actors. If you feel so frustrated about the crypto market, look around you and divert your attention in other things and make yourself productive.

Trading is not for everyone as it is very risky if you have no exact knowledge on how to play with it to gain some profit. In my case, I like doing some other things like signature designing,marketing and etc. as I don't like to rely also to bounty campaigns as we need to wait for few months before we can get a profit if we get lucky to have joined a potential project.

So it's about thinking what you can do and use it to gain some profit but if you have no other talents then use your savings money as investment to top 5 currencies in coinmarketcap and sell it once we hit the peak of the market again.

Yes it is true what you say that do not just depend on the prize of running a bounty campaign, because sometimes the tokens that we get do not have value and sometimes the tokens that we have are not listed on the exchange so we cannot sell them. So, it's better for us to do other things that can give us profit, maybe trade in small amounts.

there are many scam projects which mean many bounty failed too, it makes bounty hunter would rely on this task/job

we must be smart to choose the legit one to get good profit from it, even there are many scam bounties but there is still a little good one

i also prefer to do another task/ job, i do trading too and do handphone trade

Yes we know this because we are also not a stranger to this, but we already know the challenges that majority of hunters do face with these allocations as many of the project that we work for really finds it very difficult to pay us after we have worked for them, so we should not be relying very much on all these projects again, but we should try as much as possible to also do some other things that can fetch us cryptocurrency or make our bitcoin to increase.

There is no point working for a bounty project alone, where at the end of the day, you don’t even receive your reward out of many ones you have done, so I am not saying that we should neglect hunting, but we can still engage in other ways of making more money like freelancing , trading and etc.

I don't think so, our bounty tokens will be remain worthless even we will be on bull market. Otherwise you should check for the team if they're still alive and sticking on the roadmap or unless keep dreaming that it will be valuable in the future. I might sound pessimistic but 2018 up to present projects are totally rubbish and only few had survive.

so do you mean airdrops?, yes don't rely on airdrops we are not so sure if they really listed in exchange because many of them are scam or if so then you only receive a low value of token, better to do trading or just investing in cryptos, that you can make profit for sure.

in a past, sometimes airdrop is good. i know on facebook, someone share their balance from airdrop (im sure if he got from many account) and its profitable. so, its like you must have many different account. i dont know how to set that things, like one hundreds of account.
for me, its really bored and not funny if just get from airdrop. i have many from them and they are just shitcoin

I also have many shitcoins which are not trading in my wallet gotten from airdrops and bounties, but this doesn't mean I didn't benefit from some. It's true that in the past we had more valuable coins from airdrop and bounties, for instance Bitcoinwhite fetched me above 1000$. It's good to get involved in other means of generating income without relying entirely on airdrops and bounties. I trade on mid term basis and it's been helpful.

You have bizzare english " sweet fruit" , ofcourse nowadays think that it would be possible to make good money and reliable money from ounty is just mad. Even for 3rd world countries where average pay is very little, this doe snot work anymore. Completely agree.

I, too, aside from bounty companies study trade. Combining several areas of earnings will always be the most profitable solution.

First of all, I don't see tokens obtained via bounty campaigns are "gift tokens" because it's payment for a job well done and it has not been given to me freely, unless you are referring to another thing entirely, anyways I am a huge fan of not putting all your eggs in one basket and I have always felt that it's necessary to have multiple sources of income especially in this Cryptocurrency space because the market is just so volatile and you could get lucky one day from one of the things you do, don't depend on just one source of income in this space diversify as much as you can too.

Bounty campaigns and airdrops can no longer be expected today now because most of them are scams, and as you said you will have to wait a long time before you receive your token and it is still uncertain what will be its market value.

So it is best to seek out other sources for which we are sure to pay our allotted time.

Bounty campaign and trading in here. Usually i still join airdrop although not much. Do bounty campaign but only signature and trading. Maybe gambling but not much only play with a little money maybe play dice with $5, but for the last thing, i never get win from it until now.

You're right. But not everyone is good at trading. I tried and lost most. Now I'm focusing on hunting for bonuses and waiting for it to cost.

You can choose the right projects and diversify your choice. Remember what you have done and note it. Then come back later for the reward and if you keep doing this you will continuously get rewards but make sure not to waste your time by always checking out the project properly. If you do then you won't waste your time and end up with nags of shitcoin you can never use nor sell.

I also feel bored. trading, faucets, and bounty hunters are only for side jobs. Most importantly, don't let cryptocurrency interfere with your time in real life

Agree, if we only expect tokens from bounties or airdrops, I think a lot of time is wasted. With trading, we can still make money every day, but it must be remembered that trading has a high risk especially if we use margin or leverage

Relying on just bounty payment especially as a means of livelihood is wrong I'm with you everyone should find something else doing to balance their efforts.

not a bad idea, considering there are so many problems in the ico project now, especially most of the prize hunters or investors complaining, feeling bored and even worse like being stuck in a junk project. if you have skills in trading then it is a good step to get daily profit.

Some gift tokens produce good fruits. BTW, what other things can I involve myself in aside the gift tokens? I really need to diversify focus.

basically dependency is not good, don't be bound to one place. so I think we should try new things to continue to grow in knowledge and also income. certainly it will not be boring to do because it does not do repetitive work

Why are so many people thinking that bounty tokens are free and are a kind of other tokens. People are investing some much time and effort in promoting campaigns, they are earning them and not getting for free.

You're right! Gift tokens are not a ponza for basic earnings now, now it is more suitable as a means of accumulation. Personally, I also decided to have several sources of income to compensate for the time spent. Now I try to buy more or less promising tokens, and also study trading a little. I know for sure that you always need to have several sources of income, this will help you always be with money.

Of course, bounty campaigns and airdrops aren't as profitable as they were before. And I think that there are few who "live" only with this type of income. As soon as the market situation changed, many began to try themselves in different areas. You should always have a backup plan, no matter what you do.

We could waste our time wIting for a gift token, instead of waiting why just we work for it to get that? Join signature campaign it will give yoh free token when being finish. Join youtbe , social media and even article it will give you a lot of token in the future maybe fiat as well. Do not depende on gift but rather work for it.

This is one of the best advice you can give to full time airdrop and bounty hunters. Crypto bounty hunting is best regarded as a side gig including trading as well because frankly, you can't really plan a livelihood on it. The crypto fortune has a sinusoidal wave so it's best to back it up offline or online with some other steady jobs with more guarantee. I learned this after the 2017 bull crash and I have been living fine since then

I also balance my time with trading. I completely agree with you. It is always necessary to balance several ways of earning, if possible. It's much more profitable.

Well, I start in crypto doing bounty and from that I became a small time investor and trader at the same time, though, I am not using bounty as my main income it helped a lot especially that it helped me build my finances and regarding investing and trading it just gave me a hard time since I started it when the market started to fall down. So basically, crypto can be a full time source of income if you got a lot of money to invest and to start with.

yes you are right op we shouldn't depend on gift tokens because most tokens will eventually become useless shitcoins. it's better to do other things like daily trading. but of course doing daily trading we must give the majority of our time to analyze the development of the crypot and the state of the crypto market. and I think only people who are long in the crypto market can do it. if we are a beginner better make a long investment. Long-term investments have a lower risk than daily trading investments.

Since trading can be helpful as daily activity but definitely need a capital to do it daily as crypto bounties and airdrops are no longer profitable these days so starting with our own capital should be use to start well as well the proper study of the project since if will just wait for token rewards from bounties it may take months to appear in our wallets.

I feel bored about bounties already, i can't feel the excitement anymore but i don't want to stop because i missed good bounties this year already, persistence must be present in you to break through

not only you but quite a lot of members who didn't get good results from the bounty, especially this year. therefore it's good we don't just focus on one place, in this sense you have to be able to have the ability for other jobs.

You are simply referring to bounty projects right? well its pretty hard to make good money out of bounties this year and only very few projects bring profits for bounty hunters, but still i don't see any safer way to make money in crypto now, trading is about gain and lose if you are not ready for that you should stay away

This year seems less good for bounty hunters because of the unfavorable market conditions besides the number of scam projects. Many tokens whose prices fall quite deep after the initial listing and the value of tokens obtained by hunters becomes small. Trading can be an alternative if you want to make a profit but you must have knowledge of technical analysis so as not to lose money

Bounty is now different from bounty a few years ago because the current condition of many campaigns does not pay the campaign participants. Besides bounties, we can trade on the market and there are still many altcoins whose prices look prospective.

It is better not to rely on bounty campaigns or airdrops. Luckily for people who took part in the bounty in 2017 because many tokens or coins whose prices went up were different from the current conditions after listing, the price fell below the IEO / ICO price

I think the bad market condition is generally felt by all and sundry not just the bounty hunters. Traders and IEO investors felt the brush. Airdrop and Bounty hunters just have to manage their expectations and expect less. If they want more more money, they can focus on content creation paid in stable coin

Especially now I don't like gift token or airdrop because this is just full up my wallet without no value. Although lottery token is different because in this bear market I was make 250 USD from a retweet lottery. I never found anything form gift token even in bull market.

Well since i start do the bounties i never rely on that. I know it cant be main source of income so i take it easy. This year is very hard for bounty hunters so many project turn to a fraud and other not pay the hunters. It hurts sometimes but i dont want to quit now.

Yes it is true that do not depend on the tokens you get from the bounty because to sell them we have to wait until the tokens are listed on the exchange and not to mention if the price of the token is very low and makes us feel that what we are doing is useless. So it is indeed necessary for us not to rely too much on the tokens we get, we can trade and invest in the top coins to get other income.

This is actually quite frustrating, especially hunters who have been active not only this year, they have the best experience in the bounty period of the previous year, the year is not much clarity to ensure their campaign is successful or not, prices in the market are in accordance with ico or 100x below ico, or even without value.

I have also chosen trade options and other jobs to at least condition the tokens that have been obtained are not monitored in a sense of disappointment.

If the token we were waiting for is listed, it's still a blessing even if it has a low price but unfortunately, most of the rates can be listed as very low and not optimistic because I can only say one very simple reason that the projects are too lacking in creativity while the competition is high and the level of trust people have with projects is diminishing when projects are not fulfilling their plans. Based on the tokens received are just a story of the past and luck, so free time should focus on accumulating knowledge and finding additional ways to make money online

I also don’t want to leave the bounty campaigns, because I’m sure and know from my own experience that we can earn good money here, but there are risks just wasting time sometimes

It will continue to happen as long there still supporters from the fraud and helping them for marketing. The bad thing about bounty is a project owner dont need any capital to start an ICO and to pay advertiser they are using the cheapest way which is pay them using token, which is we dont know if there are real value in the future.

I think it's an unwritten rule that all bounty hunters should know considering the fact that bounty campaigns are not as lucrative as it used to be back in 2017 and early 2018 so it's certain that the money gotten from it would be almost impossible to be someone's main source of income unles you're from one of those countries where $2 could feed a whole family.

Im use to earn a lot back 2017 where bounty hunter are not too many and it was easy to earn up till $10000 per project. Yeah we make a lot of money back then but now. It was real disaster moment for bounty hunter where we being scam by the owner and not getting paid for doing the job. it was so hard but yeah it was a life of bounty hunter. We get what others giving.

You are absolutely correct about the end results of bounty payment, it is actually very frustrating especially those project without any product that turned scams, all time and efforts are wasted.

Trading requires some investments as well and it requires knowledge. I am into blogging.

Yeah, in these difficult times I am still working on campaigns and participating in social media bounties from several projects that I have participated in and hope that they will pay. I also try to trade but not every day I do, only occasionally I enter the market and look for opportunities from coins that I consider that day can be profitable. Yes this is how I can eat a little from crypto by trading and from campaigns.

I try to balance by doing other work that is doing business. because for me gift tokens cannot be used as one of the producers every day. maybe that should be one of the reasons why token gifts don't have to be hopeful

Every single penny i made from crypto is from free coins earned through airdrops or bounties, the ones i invested in are all shitcoins but i am to be blamed for that because i don't do research on them that is why they failed

I agree with you, Airdrops are not lucrative enough to be complacent receiving them. There are several other avenues which could be employed in utilising ones time and effort in the cryptocurrency space which would also increase one's earnings in the market. Trading isn't a bad deal, even though one needs to be careful and very knowledgeable to make the best out of the cryptocurrency exchange industry.

well actually i decide to be a bounty hunter because i have no money to invest on crypto, instead of sitting around and waiting for miracle i decide to start hunting for bounties even if all i make is penny, iwill keep some for future, their is possibility of value growths

You already invested your time by putting additional effort to study the coin you are eyeing to place your investment adds up the chance to earn. Forgetting to do so will bring you same outcome not unless you are lucky and made into timing buying coins that being pump surely you will earn'
decent from it. But it's not usual so best to review and research before concluding with your investment.

Hello! It seems to me that few people are involved in bounty programs. This time has already passed, unfortunately. I used to do only bounty, but today I have only 2 of them. And the main income and work come from a completely different sphere. Basically, this is a waste of time, with the exception of some projects. For the time being, I am only watching the on cryptocurrency.

Yes, absolutely right, you do not need to rely on gift tokens. Since it does not even make a profit. And just lose time, because during this time you can really get a good profit. Almost all airdrops do not bring good results. So it is better to focus your imagination on investing in a promising coin. And it will do more good.

It's the same as what I did when I first learned about bitcoin, wanted to invest but didn't have the capital. start following a number of campaigns and eventually become a bounty hunter too and until being bored and tired as it is today, it could say now I have enough capital to invest. After that, I started to reduce my job as a bounty hunter because I took too much time before only to make posts and report links to bounty managers. (I feel my decision is right)

Almost everyone of us who started their in Bitcoin they really started from faucets, captcha, from gambling, from airdrops  but as we go along here, little by little we are learning and finding some ways to earn more money, if we don't find other ways and we just rely on free coins then we are just wasting our time and we are missing those opportunities.

If all this time you have relied on the prize kompaye it is very wrong and can waste our time, be a gift kompaye as a side job and do not be too fanciful to get a lot of results because it can later disappoint ourselves if our hopes do not come true then our losses get it, so use our free time as a bounty hunter if there really is a result that is very good and doesn't make us disappointed.

If you don't have a fixed job or a job that binds you all the time, then it's better to spend time hunting bounties and airdrops, but what you have to remember is don't rely too much on bounties or airdrops, because those two things aren't always good to follow, and start looking for other, more specific jobs.

indeed bounty and airdrop cannot provide financial guarantees and indeed humans should be able to try to get jobs that can provide financial security guarantees every month because otherwise it would be difficult to survive.

It makes sense to claim gift tokens because new projects always share free tokens to create awareness for their project, i know some are fakes but if you hunt through right channel you will make some free money

There's nothing wrong with relying on gift tokens especially if you have lots of idle time to spend. It is much better to spend it and turn it to something meaningful like earning money even for a little. But yes, if you have other things to do which is more important do that first and put claiming of gift tokens or participating in bounty programs next to it.

Yes so do I. we should not rely too much on gift tokens because too many bad things will happen. I will do so thanks for the reminder.

The balance of time is really necessary and never be forgotten. organize your work well and don't rely on gift tokens at this time.

I also want to balance transactions like you. A reasonable arrangement of time is a necessity that we must do regularly and cannot be distracted. everything is difficult but if we persevere and gain experience then it will be great.

This is fact, gift tokens should not be one's major source of income, it is important to diversify while you wait for your gift token and beside most don't pay. Trading is also a good idea for those that knows the technical know how, or one can engage in ofline business. This is a sure way of earning also.

Gone are the days when bounty hunting and airdrops were enough to earn a livelihood but not anymore. The entire crypto activities are not enough for livelihood because of uncertainty and volatility of its nature. Getting a real job or business is the way out. Cryptocurrencies trading, and its free earning should just be leisure.

Hunting bounties and airdrops is to gain free money and i have made few good cash and good tokens from it, i think its a bad idea telling people not to join, all they have to do is better research to avoid wasting their time

I agree with your opinion, it is not a good idea just to participate in Bounties and Airdrops to make profit. The amount of such activities is really low today, so trading might become a good option to earn some crypto.

actually if our work is only in the forum, then we have a lot of free time because the work here is not so much. and we also cannot only focus on one token, if we only focus on one place we can lose potential elsewhere. most importantly we can divide time for several things

I also sometimes thinks like that but sometimes I think that it may give me a lot of profit in the future if these coin listed and altcoin season came. Right now we can see these coins going to dump very lower but there are some projects the developers of which are working hard for their projects to show high potential in the green market.

It's hard to really trust in altcoin rewards now because sometimes it's scams and others are deadcoins. So we better find other sources of income such as the signature campaign for which bitcoin is paid.

We can also earn bitcoin by posting in cryptotalk forum, and writing articles also.

I think blogging and translation for websites is also a good opportunity to earn good cryptocurrency. but I still continue to take the time to participate not only in signature campaigns but also in social ones. it doesn’t take much time, but in the long run, you can earn extra money

I agree with what you have said. because the bounty campaign now is so boring that we need other work to be able to get better and satisfying results. if we continue to rely on bounty campaigns, we will lose out on other jobs. as we know now many ICO / IEO projects do not prioritize bounty hunters. so many projects don't pay. and many other incidents which have harmed bounty hunters.

Gifts token can be valuable too, few airdrops i know have good value now, if you can remember bomb token many made thousands of dollars in their airdrop giveaways

Gift tokens you referring to are airdrops and bounties? If yes then many earned a lot from them, both in bull market and bear market, what many don't get and why they end up with worse result is lack of identifying good projects

Prize tokens are a best means to make money. But nowadays, bounty hunters are finding it hard to earn money with such prized tokens. But due to failure of new cryptocurrency projects lately, new coins are failing it to do good on exchanges, thus disappointing bounty hunters. Trading is a good and best way to increase your income. But sadly, in my case, I do not enough tokens to trade on exchanges. 

indeed now there are very few good bounty campaigns because there are many bad people who use ICO to commit fraud and do a lot of scams that occur so that the bounty campaign is also affected, now you are better off looking for work in the real world so you can get money for your daily needs and additional money from the bounty campaign, don't make the bounty campaign your main income.

Real-world work might be more time consuming, but if you can do both and also divide your time then you can do both and make forum work a side job. and you can get monthly money and additional savings from the results of being a participant in the campaign

Yes, absolutely right, gift tokens are just a waste of time. All gift tokens cost almost nothing and they are simply handed out to anyone. And in order to earn money you need to participate in projects such as bounties. And in such projects you can always get profitable rewards.

This goes without saying, there is an old saying that goes like this... "Don't put all your eggs in one basket" and anybody who still does that especially when it pertains to free tokens definitely is someone who is not serious to make money in this space, the Cryptocurrency space provided a unique opportunity for everybody to earn good money and it would be very bad if people don't take advantage of it as much as possible.

I do not agree with your suggestion. Because getting any coins, the price may not go up.For this, action must be taken to understand it.If the price goes up then you have to sell it. But you have to keep this in your head. You can never reach the highest level.

Yes, I agree as described above not to depend on gift tokens, because the income from gift tokens cannot be guaranteed. In addition, many projects currently end in fraud, my suggestion is if you have a token from a prize campaign and have a sale price, then immediately dispose of it, don't hold the token for too long.

we should not rely on gift tokens, we should balance the time for other things. being too reliant on gift tokens will be frustrating and not mention other things like listing on the floor, ...

I am also trying to balance time with trading like you. Very good article, I will keep reference. I will not rely on gift tokens anymore because it is very time consuming.

there are many people who are wrong in thinking of relying on gift tokens to make a quick profit. actually this is not very good. You should emphasize further that it is not good for people to find other ways to invest better for the market to develop more. thank you.

I have two status lines, that is, I quite agree that relying on free gift tokens is quite time consuming, harvesting is not so positive, so we should look for more jobs, balance with life, instead of dreaming about the token is pumped and listed forcefully. But somewhere in this story, my second status line came out when I had seen a lot of people making lots of money from gift tokens, income may not be guaranteed but with a fairly high level of cheating, every time you win, it is a huge amount of money, so whether we should rely on free tokens or not, perhaps talent is essential to deciding

There have been lots of gift tokens and non-paid projects for bounty hunters and us. That's one of the reasons you should think about limiting time wasting on gift tokens. Focus on something else.

You are doing it right and I love your thinking. tokens are one of the most risky things for an investor, it may be a good opportunity for some lucky people, but it is more necessary to save time and money to invest in what is safe. will be better.  ;D

op is talking about about bounty and airdrops as well because he mention the word gift tokens or on other words free tokens  . doing bounties and airdrops are free but you are suggesting about investment which is more riskier   . how can you save money when you invest when money is the one requirement you need for investing  ? but you can save some time tho because you wont be needing to post or do other stuffs that we usually do when working on a bounty and airdrop but they are only free tho and does not involved money only time  .

just with basic thinking we should realize that there's no such thing as quick profit from a mere giveaway that's the same as hoping people would throw their money at us which is impossible and as a result people are got too underwhelmed about the thing they get. gift coin is meant to give not to make someone rich and yeah it's better to find another way of earning instead of relying on one thing.

That's right, people should stop relying on getting free coins while there are lots of other things one can do. The problem with most people is that they are too lazy to work and earn money, but they want to make quick money free without having to work or invest anything for it.

Free airdrops shouldn't be the only thing people are looking for, even if you think you don't have skills it's best for you to learn other skills that you know would benefit you and focus on new jobs that will earn you a better income. You can learn skills like web and app development, I see a lot of people that are earning a good income from it and lots of clients these days are ready to pay with Bitcoin.

Once it was a big thing to earn big out of bounties and other rewards. There are people who've got successful out of the bounties during the previous bull market. From my experience in the past, to the efforts we make in promoting the projects we'll be rewarded good. Now we can't trust and join, because the participatory reward isn't assured. Spending the time on something else could get us better things if we're lucky.

I don't know how to trade and all i keep doing is holding some good altcoins but if i have to look at my portfolio today, the most valuable coins in my wallet are tokens i earned from airdrops and bounties, saying it's not worth the shot is misleading

What you say is true, that do not only seek profit or income from a road. In cryptocurrency we can benefit from investing, trading, doing bounty hunting and mining. If we see recently doing bounty hunting is not profitable because many projects have failed and also many tokens that we get ultimately only pile up in the wallet and have no value to sell. So don't depend on one thing, you can try many other things to stay afloat and make a profit.

In the beginning I participated in many bounties, but now I'm disappointed in them and a maximum of 1-2 take part. Indeed - you can earn without bounty.

At present there aren't many good bounty projects, so it's better to share time with other things,
because right now there are very few bounty projects that pay.

The bounty now is much difference from the bounty in 2017, where at that time after the bounty was over we could be sure that we would get paid and of course the tokens we got at that time had a lot of values so, it was straightforward for us to get money, but honestly in the last Two years l, our income as a bounty hunter cannot be used as a definite guarantee because it is better now to make bounty hunter a side job, and we should focus more on other, more certain jobs.

obviously you cannot rely on airdrops mainly for the reason that you have mentioned but also there are so many other activities to do like bounties, tradings, and learning a new skill. Aside from crypto-related activities try to explore online part-time jobs as well.

That's right, we really have to be good at balancing time to work, because all people who work are clearly aiming for profit, not wasting their time or money, so it's better if we can balance our time on investment and other things .

What advice will OP give those who have no money to invest at all? gift tokens is for those type of people unlike in real life where if you have no money you have no chance at all, I've made over 500$ from gift tokens this year so far and that is enough for trading or investing, your point is not encouraging

People should abstain from quick profit making, that is why many still fall to scammers trap today, the reason why there are countless delays is because most gift tokens are new projects that still have long way ahead, spend your time on airdrops and bounties you will earn alot

They are greedy and they must learn how to control their emotion. that will make them all free from the scammer. So many scammers these days are using the idea of the ponzi scheme again to attract the buyers.
I hope people become even smart from time to the time. Invest in a good coin is a must.

The more bonus and discounts you will get, the less possible it is for a project to succeed. People will smash the price as soon as it will hit exchanges, so regarding tokenomics, big discounts are a very bad strategic decision.

The bounty campaign for some people has been abandoned. It is true that trading is one of the effective things to get a piece of cheese in crypto, but not everyone can do it and succeed.
I prefer to look for airdrops that can produce more than bounty and trade.

Not everyone has guts to risk their money that's why they insist to stop joining various campaign just to get rewards from it. We can't blame them. There's nothing wrong about it as long as they aren't abusing it. On the other hand, it's their choice or decision if they'll reconsider doing other stuffs such as trading. Some hunters are also building their knowledge in crypto also including me because we can't just rely from participating campaign if we wanted to really earn cryptocurrency coins.

It's a decision that every is entitled to make, you can't blame people for claiming free coins and some are quickly sellable on exchanges, I've seen people who started with no money and earned few dollars from free coins and start growing from there

The bounty rewards have no real market value due to the market circumstances, the deceived bounty hunters look for the people to blame for their bad situation. I don't doubt there are people as you mentioned on your post but not all bounty hunters have this opportunity to grow the balance with trading and continuing boutny hunting.

If you're talking about airdrops, they are not worth your time whatsoever.

Your personal information will likely land in the wrong hands as well to spam you in the future. The tokens that you will receive as your reward will likely be worthless as most airdropped tokens never even make their way into an exchange, let alone have any substantial value.

As OP said, move on from them and work on other things that are much more worthwhile.

Most airdrops and those sorts f tokens dont really offer anything reliable at the long run these days Worst is most dont get listed and even if they do devs might drop the project midway so basically just watch the project you like closely Buy when its dumped and sell when is high depending on your preferences

Gift tokens are good and less risky because they are free, you don't have to invest money to get free coins, all you have to do is spread the news about the project on your social media accounts, I've earned good amounts of dollars from free tokens

Well, I do certainly agree with that. Although earning gift tokens are for me the most easiest way of earning profit due to the fact that you do not need to exert any investment in terms of monetary, what you just need is to pay attention considering you must exert time and effort to be paid by your work after the campaign ends. It is really indeed has been boring for a while waiting for gift tokens to be listed and have a well desired price as of the moment because the market is still down so whenever they are listed, time is still being considered for them to reach a desirable price depending on the market's situation. While doing the waiting process after obtaining such gift tokens from the projects done, better be seeking for another source of income which can be crypto related like investment or trading or doing another type of work that does not concern cryptocurrency at all which is physical work which we can admit to be a stable source of income while waiting for the prices of cryptocurrencies to rise up once again. Admit it or not, better be having work both on crypto space and real world to be able to earn double income and not end up relying on just one source of income to be able to have certain amount of money you can spend if one does not create profit for a while.

I agree that we shouldn't rely on any coins or tokens, but how is it hard work if they are gift in a first place. Ask yourself, why something you got as a gift should have a value from a start anyway?

Big discount is not a problem if the developers will try t maintain the price by presenting a great platform of the project and the use of the token in the platform and do a big marketing. The price of only those coins drops to ground the developers of which cannot get that targets on time. While in a project when all of the coins are given free and maximum of the coins are given free then it becomes very hard to maintain the price on exchanges but if the maximum amount of the coin is sold to investors then the price can get a good value on exchanges.

The same thing applies to me. Instead of keep on waiting for a single thing to come all along, I keep seeking better opportunities while waiting so that I am using my time wisely in a sense that instead of lying down in bed and waiting for bounty rewards to come, why not seek for another way possible that can make me earn a living while waiting for that bounty reward to come? We must not just settle for a single thing and be reliant on it because in the industry we are all currently into, wherein change is inevitable, we can never tell when amd how such opportunities will come into us. Aside from waiting for bounty rewards from recent engagements, there still lots of profitable ways you can do like trading and investment in which you can choose from depending on your preference on which way will suit to you. Stop chasing for a single opportunity in a vast world of crypto wherein you can grab many opportunities while waiting for the others to come upon you.

Honestly free coins are good, ive earned good moeny from free coins, you should not listen to people saying free coins will lose value once they get listed, yes some will lose value but you never buy the coin so its free, any amount you sell will make sense

We do not expect too much from the coins we receive from the campaign results ... because the results from them will not meet our needs ... so in addition to getting the results from the campaign, we must also do other things such as trading so that we can make a profit and can meet our needs. . because if we continue to depend on the bounty campaign then get ready you have to face hunger ..

Are you talking about bounty and airdrop tokens? It depends on your skill to predict which is good and has a future and which is not. If you do not believe in the token, then I highly recommend you sell it at least for few dollars and invest into altcoin with a potential. I believe that one day we will see another 100x growths. :)

I’m guilty of that before. Bounty campaigns did changed my life a few years ago after I decide to make it as a full-time career. I left my virtual assistant work to focus on joining airdrop and bounty programs. However, as months ago, I realized that joining bounties is not always the best option or “last resort”.

This is why I expanded myself by applying as a development team member and advisors in some few projects (but most of them are dead). I’m just glad that I didn’t give up in some alternative ways of earning aside from relying on bounty programs. I also balanced it with trading and side gigs as well, and also maintaining my virtual day job to keep me sustained in paying bills and basic needs during the pandemic.

If you are talking about bounties then the fault is on you if you pick the wrong projects, bounties requires skills to choose the right projects, I strongly advice you to keep joining bounty campaigns because you can never tell  what will happen tomorrow with the projects that looks like shit today

Right about don't put all your time into doing bounties and airdrop. Try to find a balance by allocating your time to learn a new skill that has a stable future than reply totally on bounties and airdrop alone.

Its like finding a gem to find legit airdrops in 2020 so wasting time on doing airdrops doesn't really make any sense so people should concentrate on real earning opportunities for that they are going to need skills and capital for sure and the best way to start earning money by doing short term trades on trusted coin like bitcoin with a stable coin pair.

Well that's your own belief about airdrops, it's not same for me because I still join few airdrops that pays good rewards, we have good airdrop sources in crypto space that still works and are reliable, one of this legit airdrop sources is airdrop alert, they took time on every project before listing them on their platform

Depends from your luck, choosing this kind of bounties are really getting harder from time to time. If luck permits you then you'll get satisfying results.


Better doing so, you can use the money to trade and work with your other opportunities, instead of keeping it without any faith with the coin.


There's always time for every growth to happen, maybe that's huge but who knows what future will bring.

Apart from your skills you will need luck as well to make something good and rewarding from bounty and airdrop campaigns, also you have to be so determined to get by because you can't just join one or two bounties or airdrops and relax

bounty is not my main job so I don't depend on bounty, I have a business in the real world that can give me money every day. so it's not a problem for me if the bounty must be listed on the exchange for another 1 or 2 years :D

Airdrops, bounties and other crypto giveaways have been very helpful for so many and that's why no one can talk people out of joining them, any other things that are reasonable and profitable in crypto space requires certain skills like trading and building projects

the problem is that if the project does not listed on the exchange for such a long time, then it does not develop. Your work has been done for nothing. It's not that you have your own business, but you should understand that your work in bounty campaigns was done for free

I certainly traded in various markets to be able to benefit. because in my opinion if we just wait for the rewards of the bounty campaign now is not the time anymore.. then we have to do other activities to be able to find additional income by trading. and not rely on the bounty campaign entirely because you will lose a lot of time and money.
