I can relate to the situation as its not good to generalize the entire bounty hunters based on behaviour of few and as you have rightly mentioned I have been a part of numerous bounty programs as well during its golden days and I am still a part of bounty program which is smoothly managed but this cannot go on as things needs to be changed for betterment of community and projects as well.

I would like to make it clear that I have been a bounty hunter, bounty manager, and part of project management for various projects and this is not to support the bounty hunters but rather to show the reality how bounty hunters and what they go through in this forum.

I know it's not easy to manage a bounty campaign as you will receive thousands of messages from irritating users, there will be hundreds of fake entries in the spreadsheet then you real users disputing that they didn't receive stakes because some imposters have entered their address against the real user's name and sometimes bounty managers or dev team's response would not be the politest one.

But at the same time there are hundreds of hardworking bounty hunters who work really hard in the hope that their efforts would be rewarded but all the efforts are shadowed by the wrongdoings of few cheap users with fake accounts who bombard, spam the bounty groups and harass bounty managers as a result whole bounty hunter community is looked with suspicious and selfish.

Bounty tokens contribute a very small portion of the total supply if we look at the percentage of tokens which are traded but still bounty hunters are blamed for dumping the market with cheap price, regardless of the price bounty hunters sell the tokens if the project is good then the price will not be affected or even if it's affected it will eventually recover without much loss but they are blamed for dump wherein it's sometimes investors who dump the token for quick profit.

The worst part is when tokens are locked for bounty hunters and only distributed to them when the market is already broken by investors, after their efforts and ill-treatment in the hands of such bounties they finally receive worthless tokens which would be a loss even if they trade as the tokens will not even worth the GAS fee charged in MEW wallet to transfer it.

I urge all the management and bounty managers to treat bounty hunters with respect and they shouldn't be judged.


I have made a similar article about the pain of bounty managers and here is the link you may read it and understand I have seen both the phases

I would like to thank everyone for sharing such a valuable information and I would definitely tryout some of the platforms suggested over here as they seems fit for the requirement which I was looking for and also I will post my review after using the platforms. I would start wth Bisq and Stakenet then checkout Etherflyer as well.

You guys have been a great help.

I appreciate your efforts to spread the knowledge across as this would be helpful for some newbie but at the same time please ensure it's in details, I don't care if you are driving traffic to your blog as long as it's helpful for others. I have checked your blogs and I would recommend you to add more details to the content apart from the basic differences.

You may go ahead with XRP because the profit margin will be more, I made similar deal in 2017 wherein the value of LTC was around $60 and XRP was approx similar to what it in is now but I got better returns in terms of XRP of about times x15 wherein LTC gave a return of times x4.5.

Even a slight fluctuations could provide good profit for XRP since its base price is lesser, btw I am not a fan of XRP since its centralized.

It's scary when you notice such huge transaction takes place after 10 years, someone has been holding his nerves all this while and probably tried to withdraw at Bitcoin's peak movement in during 2017 with some set of target and then the market got crashed, I feel this person had been waiting for one more opportunity to cashout and eventually did it.

Couple of Bitcoin can secure future for most of us and not sure what this person would be doing with massive wealth he/she has accumulated all these years out of very lesser investment.

It's a common mistake most of us have made in the past and consider it as a learning curve rather than taken it as burden because this is neither the first such fluctuations nor this will be the last. You should be thankful that you didn't incur huge losss like this who invested at the peak of last bull run incurred which they are yet to recover, learn to control on your emotions and try be covert it to USDT if you are unsure of market situation and stay unto date with the market to make appropriate changes when required.

I just hope it's the outcome of US election result and trust me we are fed up of Hales playing with our emotions and setting traps repeatedly, I know people are freaking out as we are witnessing the dump when it was least expected and I had been personally be bloating that Bitcoin will reach $20k mark by end of this month or max by the end of year, next couple of hours will decide the value of Bitcoin as if it keeps dumping then we need to realise we had been taken through one more bull trap. On contrary this might be an usual fluctuation as well. Let's hope it's not a bull trap.

What's the best DEX trading platform which can compete with centralized platforms like Binance, Kraken, etc in terms of speed and UI but at the same time it should be dependable and robust. It doesn't sound safe to complete KYC and furnish details about us to CEX when transaction is tend to cross a certain limit.

Kindly share your suggestions, I have already used IDEX, Uniswap, Binance DEX

This was suppose to happen sooner or later but I never expected this to happen at this moment, we have other competitive exhabges who are doing in par with binance and thus users have opted other platform for launchpad and buy orders, some failed projects wherein it was pumped beyond the limit and then fell from grace have caused the damage and now not everyone is willing to risk their investment for short term gain which becomes liabilities after few weeks. There used to be an assumption that every tokens listed through Binance is a get rich quick scheme which has been shattered now.

Yeah, we can only predict a temporary trend because it's too early to comment on something which might or might not take place in 2025 and moreover we will see hundereds of similar posts whenever there is a pump in the value of Bitcoin and some of them are he same who don't even hesitate to term Bitcoin as bubble even at the slightest dump. Things might be completely different for Bitcoin than what it is now so we need to control our emotions and go with the flow.

It is very much possible now after the recent developments and let's not forget the driving forces like US election and PayPal's announced which gave a breakthrough for bitcoin's price to surge and now since it has already crossed $15k and approaching $16k we can expect the value to.break the barrier of $20k within the end of December, even before December if this trend continues for over two week.

Just consider the driving factors and act accordingly within rushing for investments into Bitcoin at this point of time.

That's a decent amount of profit you have earned especially during a typical bearish market, if you have chosen 4 projects to invest then just go for it with your own research including current affairs. But I would recommend to go for top altcoins if you are looking for some quick profit since we have just started witnessing the growth in value of altcoins as well so coins like ETH or XRP will be good for time being.

But if you are looking for long-term then go for a new one with good team and concept.

Yes indeed, looking at the current trend I am sure that Bitcoin will break the barrier of $20k before the end of the year, now we have started seeing pump in the value of altcoins as well which is a great news for crypto enthusiasts. We have been waiting for this Bullrun for over two years and finally it has arrived, I would advise everyone to make most of it and avoid falling into trap.

I would prefer ETH over BCH because of my experience with both the coins, BCH was overhyped and eventually lost its value once the dust was settled but ETH on the other hand has been extending it's platform for new projects and hopefully the features lagging currently would be cover by the release of ETH 2.0 wherein BCH is faster than and coat efficient than Bitcoin during transaction but still it will stay as a breakaway fo Bitcoin nothing much on its own

This is the same mistake which PolicyPal made wherein the token allocation for bounty hunters were huge but still the project survived for almost 2 and half years but unable to recover the value it lost at the beginning. It's sad YOUC is going through the same path, but now it still has chances to make a comeback as it's too early and I know hunters will dump the tokens and they won't care about project since they work only for profit but once the dump period is over it can gradually recover and Devs may buyback the tokens to keep it alive and active.

I would say it's bit risky to buy Bitcoin now as we might witness fluctuations anytime when it's trending at ATH value of the year, if you want to take the risk then it should be backed by efforts as well when it comes to trading, you need to be glued to trading site to make sure you are in situation to convert it into stable coin in case of any unexpected fall.

If you are a risk take then you may go for it as the returns will also be good because noone of us us knows if Bitcoin will break it's ATH till date this time and if that's the case it would be more expensive to buy on a later date.

Yes, ETH 2.0 will bring a new revolution and the best thing about this would be that it would add like additional sidekick to other altcoins as well which will have a postive inpact in price of other altcoins which has been lagging nowadays. We might see Ethereum breaking $500 once again within couple of weeks if this release gets appropriate tractions.

Calm down, I will not give your lecturers or point our your mistake as most of the users have already done that. It's about choice mate, no one is forcing you to like Bitcoin or invest into Bitcoin and when it comes to early adopters they were risk takes when we thought Bitcoin as bubble so their risk has worths their profit. Bitcoin was coded to make P2P and cross border transaction without a third party or government body involved and we have control over our asset.

Do some more research about Bitcoin through various source and the reason for invention of Bitcoin then you will start liking the concept.

Cardano is indeed one of the most underrated coins with great features, but expecting it to reach $1 in 2020 is not a wise thing because it's struggling in and around $0.1 - $0.15, there is a long way to go in order to achieve target of $1 but still I would consider it for long term investment, let's not forgot Cardano (ADA) was dubbed as next Eth.
