For newbie, Why I choose bounty over ICO?

[mahekfatimag]

Hello newbie,

I wanna share my experience with you about bounty/ ICO. In December 2017, there was so many ICOs that you could get x10 or x20 profit.  

However, It was competitive to join in those hot ICO because of whitelistiing and gas war battle. I finally found one and get whitelisted. It guaranteed that every whitelisted member can contribute with 1ETH. The market started to bearish in early Februry, I decided to contribute 0.5 ETH, at the same time, I also joined 1 bounty. As of today 03/23, the free tokens i got from bounty are still same price of ICO, but the tokens I bought from ICO goes down from 0.0005 ETH to 0.0002 ETH.  

I realized that many ICO just goes down when they hit the exchange, with that experience, I mostly join bounty.
You have nothing to loose to join bounty but extra income.  

Do you have any experience with your ICO or bounty?

Hi,
   I am a bounty hunter. I started bounty from November, 2017 with few projects. I got the coin, and see the growth x10 in the late december, but I never sell anything. I decided to work atleast 4 to 5 hours a day, and join the campaign as much as I can handle. Today, I have completed around 30 to 40 projects successfully, and few are currently running on. However, I am a bounty hunter but I am a long time holder too. I have never sell even .01$ yet. I am waiting for Q4, 2019, I believe a super blast run might occur in Q4, 2019 then I will think to sell few parts.

If you have a great fan and following over the social media then you could get good amount of tokens to hodl. I have never purchased anything in crypto market yet and I have 70+ coins in my portfolio, and ofcourse only 20 - 30 coins have good amount.

It is right, in the bear market the account balance get lower however we have not purchase anything but the hard work. I believe if I hodl it I will get the rewards of my hardwork after 1 to 2 years from now.

Best of luck for all the bounty hunters and investors!

This year’s bounty is very disappointing, as most of the activities are fraudulent, and many bounty hunters are tired of the task, and I am one of them.

Well your not alone, since early this year when the market became terrible bad, I was forced to join bounty because all my altcoin are way below ico price.
But doing bounty is not easy as you say, it requires time and effort. I have a bunch of tokens now but they are not worth my effort, until the next bull run.

As a newbie, you have no experience. You cannot know which ICO has a good project and which one will be unsuccessful. Therefore, when you participate in generosity, you can receive your coins and tokens without risking your money.

The forum has many interesting themes with detailed and  tips on how to choose a good ICO. But even this knowledge willn't save you from unsuccessful investing. The safest way to get free coins is to participate in the bounty. Here you lose only your time and share your knowledge, if you are writing articles and blogging. But if you decide to invest  then invest as much money as you are not afraid to lose.

I have participated in several bounties.  With that, I received tokens worth $5k. but very disappointing that $5k worth tokens now just goes for $900. This is too low. I am everyone who have participated in recent bounty campaigns have such similar experiences. But I made use of the current situation. I started buying tokens spending minimum $50 per token. I almost have ten different tokens in my wallet. I trust in crpto and on its growth down the line. Have decided to go for a long-term investment as well. There has been no loss though.

I have joined the bounty for about 8 months, I have participated in many projects, and have received several tokens. But tokens are very cheap. I just get tired and lost. Hopefully the project's head is good.

if you dont have extra FIAT , bounty is another form of investment

[kagtaviy_mo]

Hey. I have a similar experience. Now there are enough companies of bounty in which you can participate.

Yes, I also sent the same thing, which was responsible for this prize campaign.
my advice is better to hold the results token from the campaign

[andrei56]

For half a year I earned about 1 ETH on bounty

If this is true then you wasted a lot of time, using so much time to earn such a low amount of money is not the most efficient way to use your time, if you used your time to get a second job you could have earned a lot more than that and you could have money to spare, this is why I do not understand those that try to make claiming bounties as their profession since the pay is very low.

I think for a newbie, it is better to choose bounty than the ICO especially if that person doesn't have much money to invest in the ICO. With join in the bounty campaign, they can earn the tokens and then they can sell when it gets the list so they can have money to invest in the other coins. But for people who own money, they can invest in the ICO than join in the bounty but they can also join too if they want. But right now, it is a bad year to join in a bounty or invest in ICO because every ICO has delayed their time to finish the project or to get a list on the exchange and the participant of the bounty has got delay to for their reward payment.

Indeed, in my experience, many tokens of companies go to the bottom after entering the exchange. But there are several projects whose developers initially showed a professional approach to business. In such projects, the price per token is reduced only for the first time, but then the price is restored.

Yes, even i am experiencing this type of approach when i worked for a bounty, we need to be very patient until actual development starts from the team. Instead of panic about the price, it is better to hold them until their price starts increasing again.

[Pricebrianer]

They say bounty hunters dump tokens. But they’ll do that just for tokens without a real use case or terrible team. Or if the project looks fishy.
I do bounties sometimes. Just started out here on bitcointalk. And I hold some tokens. Though I had to swing them in exchange while trading to get a little more and keep the dollar value stable in this bear market.
I hope bounty hunters get rewarded better.
Going back to your question, there’s two i parties to a project success; there’s the bounty hunters, they help campaign, tell you more about the project you’re getting into. Although there paid, they still provide some details and information about the project.
Then there’s the ICO participants or investors. They finance the project by buying tokens. Pay some amount for some tokens.
The both parties have a role to play, without one the project may stagger to be successful.

Tokens fall in price, only in bad crypto projects. Yes, now all tokens have fallen in price, but as the market grows, only good projects will increase in price, not a scam projects.

[Sanchos]

Obviously, that after listing on exchange investors want to take profit and price go down. When you lose coins from bounty- you lose your time.

[Resulbil]

a very risky investment tool crypto money. very few legal safeguards. needs to investigate very well. there are now 10 times that of ico

Do you have any experience with your ICO or bounty?

I really do agreed for what you had stated in the above on which is that you have nothing to loose to join bounty but extra income, that was true and right. let me share to you my experienced in 2017 this year was a great season, God poured out His blessings to me before end of 2017 because I earned more than 8BTC then when 2018 came up month of February I gained more 3.5BTC so it was a good moment to me, so even  after a months crypto declined for 8 months almost I still survive even the ico which I joined was to seldom to give payment in my wallet that I gave to them.

[alexeylom]

I totally disagree with the topic starter. I'd rather lose money, but my time will be with me and I will not spend it just to satisfy someone's ambitions and greed.

[Tobikov]

I started with bounty, but I want some kind of growth and still want to do investing in ICO. It seems to me that my path gave me the necessary experience to go into investment, but unfortunately the capital is not yet high and it is necessary to carry out a few more bounty.
