Bounty hunting - work or a hobby?

[redmnt78]

In my opinion, the Bounty project is normal and that is the thing to do. Forum members may use free time to earn more money and that may be potential. As for Founder Project they can take advantage of the huge user resources of the forum to put articles on the top and attract more potential investors

For me,I consider bounty hunting as a work rather than a hobby.Generally,I understand hobby as recreation but giving your time,effort and being paid after the campaign is not a hobby because you are totally working hard for it to be rewarded in return.

Well, if you take into account that this is free money, which can also grow significantly in price, it can be regarded as a job. But we need to keep our portfolio of bounty and monitor every coin. So this is really work

In many, participation in generosity companies ICO can begin as a hobby, then it can turn into work if the generosity campaigns of ICO have entrained you and if they started to bring you a good income. Therefore, everything depends on the specific circumstances of life. Many, I know that I started to try my work at the generosity companies ICO, and then stayed on this forum for a long time.

for me, I doing bounty campaign is for making money and maybe it's for work and hobby at the same time because I still searching the bounty which I can join so I can make money at the end of the bounty. maybe people trying to join with bounty campaign is for a hobby but soon after they can earn many tokens from bounty campaign, they will decide that working in the bounty campaign is another work that they can do besides doing a hobby on the internet.

For me its a hobby. i really like to talk people on this forum so its a hobby for me.
Also i usually cannot reach the post count on targeted period. So its totally hobby for me.

For me, this is more of a hobby than a job. Bounty I don't think the work because every job needs to generate a steady income. The bounty in question of such earnings could not be though, because a lot of scams. Many companies cut back payments , and never know what pay expect.

I do not consider this a hobby, because I spend a lot of my time, nerves and effort to earn anything. But I get quite a lot of pleasure from this work!

I think it's easier to work than to participate in the bounty  company has not yet come up. It is enough to give a couple of hours a day to do the work. But if you participate in a large number of companies then and accordingly need more time, but also the opportunity to earn more accordingly.

Bounty hunting to me is work, I won't call it a hobby. I spend close to 10 hours everyday on it, either I'm tweeting or I'm going through the numerous telegram groups or I'm writing a blog. So to me it's work.

[zikabra]

I considered it as a hobby. I like this forum and I like reading posts and opinions from people all around the world, I like crypto and I like to earn money. All together is one nice hobby.
Work? No, this is similar to freelancing but it is still far away from it because you don't really need to do anything except what you would do anyway, at least doing signature campaigns.

For me bounty hunting is my second job because it generates a little income for me once in a while, so i won't say it is a hobby though I enjoy my time spent on bounty hunting but i regard it as work rather than hobby because i am expecting to get paid.

[success007]

As for me doing bounty campaign is my part time work. It help me earn income by doing the job and in return expected to get rewards tokens as payment then in time i can trade and turn to fiat money for encashment.  I do not considered this as a hobby since i spent most of my time doing bounty in promoting the projects. It takes my time and effort. I may enjoyed it but sometimes very stressful specially  if you did not get paid.

[jakiro.hovard]

I do not think that this can be called a job, because they pay for the work, but they obviously do not get paid, because there are a lot of projects that are held by the bounty lately, but in the end nothing is obtained from the developers

Although it does not provide you with a very stable and ideal income level but I think anything can increase your income, you should be serious with it, I even suggest to you that you should be serious with everything, both in the crypto world and in real life. Because we can only succeed when we have a certain concentration, if we just consider it a hobby, we will always be subjective in the choice then go in the wrong direction, many people have similar thoughts to you and now they are constantly complaining about bounty, no effort = no good results

[montreal]

I know people who earn very well on bounty campaigns. In this case, they do not go to work, because they earn about 4 thousand a month. It's cool of course)

Bounty hunting could be both work and a hobby. It fits to the two but it is on you on what you choose. It could be a work if you are investing a lot of time on it and a hobby if only spare time are given.

[dpoisoner]

My opinion is that I consider bounties to be my hobby. Work is paid steadily, bounty if you're lucky.

[JaoBadjap]

It Can be a Hobby at first.
depending on the volume of your bounties. with continues bounties program. you could consider that as work. for example.
at work where we get paid on weekly or monthly basis, on bounties you can achieve this if you have different bounties. and as bounties most likely run for months, this could mean a year of building different bounties and and get paid on weekly basis depending on ending of bounties and also the distribution. but regardless its better to work on a day job and make bounties on hobby basis. specially the crypto world is very volatile.

I just posted a reply in another thread where the OP stated they considered bounty hunting was work with money paid to you for your time and resources, with it likened to running a small business. I felt rather that you’d ‘paid’ for the bounty tokens in your wallet with the time you’d used doing bounty tasks and reporting etc rather than with your own cryptocurrency or fiat, and that you needed to factor in as well the time wasted on other bounty campaigns where you didn’t get any reward/payment for your bounty work because the ICO didn’t make softcap or was unethical or a cashgrab or scam! In terms of whether bounty hunting should be seen as a part or full time job/small business or rather as a hobby where you may pick up a few dollars using your phone and computer and internet and time, I felt it would depend on each bounty hunter’s individual circumstances and prevailing tax and other laws in their country. I imagined that most bounty hunters here would treat it as a ‘hobby’ that may bring some reward of tokens that may or may not be worth anything, rather than as job giving predictable taxable income - but I’ve seen little discussion or information published about this however.

I’m interested in how bounty hunters here view their receiving of bounty tokens and the value from holding or selling them - as a hobby or as a job with taxable income? And also are bounty hunters aware of any tax or other ‘rules’ known to apply to tokens received or sold in the various countries we live in?

For now, since I do not have a Job anymore I am not focusing on Bounties and trading, and it got quite so good.
