hi
i am currently participating in several bounties and although i have yet to be paid, I'm wondering if people usually get paid with the tokens, and if so, is it profitable and worth the effort? thank you for your insight.
Altcoin Bounties are usually paid out, but just after the Tokens have been paid out, the price will often drop far below the ICO's price.
Why? Because all of the bounty campaign participants sell all of their tokens for insanely low prices. Some tokens have dropped more than 90%, simply due to the insane sell-offs of bounty campaign participants.
The danger of Bounty Campaigns is thus not whether you'll receive the tokens, but whether the tokens will keep their value.
In many cases, the token will rise in value once the Bounty selling is over, but that's not always the case.
Personally, I prefer to invest once the Bounty Selling is going, than when the ICO is running, simply due to the insane Bounty Sell-Offs.
Back to your question: The altcoin bounties usually pay off, if you think rationally about the potential price movements. Either sell quickly or wait until the price has recovered. It's your choice!
