I personally think bounty hunting is a great way to make profit. I just look at it as mining the currency yourself. I had good luck with the Ontology bounty/airdrop recently, managed to get 2,000 ONT from that and the current price of ONT is $2.23. Pretty great return I’d say, but I’m still hodling that, traded in and out a bit and made it grow already.

The one I’m working on now is the Marinecoin Beta ICO. Many find issue with MTC but if you actually take the time to learn about the project, you cannot deny its brilliance. The Bounty ICO model is ran by a Jarvis Artificial Intelligence protocol to ensure complete fair distribution of over 95% of the coin supply to participants. The project is dev-less and the creator managed to engineer a way to eliminate the need for miner’s, so you do not have to worry about a pool of miner’s taking control of the currency down the road. The core is built around the concept of machine to machine internet of things payments. It can already be ran on a raspberry pi, so MTC payments are easy to integrate into your IoT device. Feel free to research yourself at marineco.in, community is most active in their discord. Link is on their site. I’m out, later guys!

Yes they are!

Check out the new Marinecoin for example, you can already trade on their exchange:

You can get exactly 20 000 Marinecoins every day (until the stock exhausts), just for posting a post.The coin has great prospects, it certainly (even now) already has value and is traded on the home exchange (so far only), where you can buy several coins for one satosh.Earlier - a few weeks ago - it was possible to get 450 000 at once, by publishing several posts. But the project was faced with abuses by users, and the number of coins received had to be reduced. That is, the current goal is to create the distribution as fair as possible. Having made the prevention against bots, the developer also fulfills the goal - to make the community as wide as possible. The number of posts daily increases progressively. So hurry up, a reserve of coins - about 10 billion - will dry up, I think, quickly.Ahead - after distribution - will be announced about many interesting technologies. Now it is known that the project will not depend on the miners. Dev-less & self sustaining and not only, will serve for these purposes.You can find out more by visiting the official website. But already now it is known that the project is not going to waste time on trifles with questionable goals. The developer is going to challenge many known coins at once. It is known that the coin will be many times faster than bitcoin, there will also be a large energy saving, and also something like the kind of smart contracts at the etherium.Among other things, there will also be the following features: proof of promotion, machine to machine, artificial intelligence (this will be announced in more detail later; will create an additional sub-coin - not affecting inflation - but expanding the possibilities of the main coin).Marinecoin - the only coin in history that surpassed the capitalization of bitcoin (it was several years ago, but that’s another story).

Anything involving overly large amounts of Fiat risks corruption. Bitcoin isn't going to be immune to it.

Satoshi originally wanted bitcoin to be mine-able by your everyday PC user so someone can use their spare cpu power to mine BTC when they want. As it became worth a lot of fiat to mine BTC, huge mining pools stood up, discovering that GPU/ASIC chips can be used to mine, ramping the mining difficulty up so high that it effectively eliminated the possibility for your everyday average person to be able to use their cpu to mine. Now these miner's or groups of miner's have a large stake in bitcoin and therefore have more control over the coin than was ever originally intended.

GPU mining software didn't exist when satoshi made btc nor did the technology behind ASIC chips, he couldn't account for these things. As Fiat was pumped into BTC it drove many others to find these other methods, lowering the overall decentralization of bitcoin a bit. This could arguably not be corruption, but it certainly hasn't helped btc along.

Just getting started here, this is my first post!

I'm excited to add this to my watchlist and keep a close eye on. I believe this has a very bright future.
