Are Bounty Hunters also considered Investors?

[Goodnuel]

I normally see some crypto projects which promise Investors certain amount of dividend depending on how much coin/token they own.

The word "Investors" is normally used for people who own shares of a particular project/company, but in cryptocurrency this "shares" normally refers to coins/tokens, which makes me wonder if bounty/airdrop hunters are also considered "Investors" since they hold certain quantity of these coins/token

This can go in a lot of ways... They may not be outrightly investors because they didn't buy the tokens, but they are still investors because they worked for the project. Just like the team and the devs, they all still did invest and hence can be investors..

Talking about the shares, it depends on how the projects wants to the share, there are some projects who pay some dividends for all holders of the tokens, this way, every holder get the share, doesn't matter how they got the token..

So, technically, bounty hunters are also investors.

Bounty hunters are not investors, they are a promoter. They promote the ICO project to make it successful, they work to reach good words to the investors. So, here is different. Though many bounty hunters invest in ICO project nowadays and this number is increasing. Such a good sign it is. And I think a true and legit bounty hunter knows very well about which ICO will be a success or not!

Every individual who holds a number of coins can be called an investor. and some prize hunters save campaign prize coins as their future investment. That is why in projects that ask you to confirm your identity, not only do investors need to go through this process but prize hunters too, and that makes sense because they get a share of coins and dividends that might, if any, the difference is that investors enter money into the project while the prize hunter puts their effort and time.

Yes i agree on that, i believe that bounty hunters is also a investors because they are also a coin holders. Maybe they also used eth and bitcoin for purchasing coin. I believe that some hunters on different bounty can also join ico or maybe buying and holding coins. Because there is no restriction on it.

[valkyrie_12Vl]

yes, bounty hunters are indeed investors in projects they are in. they invest lots of time and effort and they also have the highest possibility to invest in a project since they begin to research their respective bounties.

I think there is no distinction between the investors who invested money to buy the tokens/coins and the bounty hunters who got the same tokens/coins when they invested their time and resources to help promote the said project. And since we understand that time can be equal to money so they are the same thing I guess. The big difference is that many bounty hunters has the higher tendency to let go of the tokens they are holding once they are already available in the exchanges and which is just find because the allotted percentage of the whole token supply to bounty hunting or promotion is actually just very minimal.

[Jdragon6x6]

I think bounty hunters are also considered as investors for they also invest their time promoting the ico and campaign. Although in a different way, bounty hunters and investors have the same goal and that is to make the ico a success. Yes bounty hunters did not spend their money on the ico like the investors but they are also helping and without them the will not be successful.

Of course not, bounty hunters are just part of the ICO success just because they are participating on the marketing campaign, nothing more than that. But investors? Of course not, they are not investing their money, only their time. There is a big difference

 This is a good question.  I think for me the answer would be yes.  Anyone that owns the coins would be considered an investor regardless of how they acquired the coins.  Unless you inherit the coins you are spending something to get them, in this case time.

[BitImpact]

For a start, bounty hunters are people who perform specific tasks, such as writing an article, in order to earn tokens. These tokens do not give dividends, unless it is a security token.

Back to the question, I wouldn't consider them investors, since:

1) They got their token for free.
2) The amount of tokens they have is usually immaterial.

Hunters are considered an investors if they will hold and will not dump their earned tokens. Bounties were get paid because of their hardwork as hardwork is not free so by earning the tokens they should also consider holding the tokens to be good as investors too.

I think it will be different even though the bounty hunters are both holding their assets. investors give their money to buy the desired assets. But Bounty Hunter promotes tokens to be bought by investors. actually Bounty Hunter is part of the team that participated in the success of the project. cannot be considered as an investor.

I thought the people buying during pre-sell in ICO are investor since  they are using their money for investment of that particular project , while bounties are just holding the reward tokens ,not unless they were buying also during ICO , although bounties are exerting time and effort .

[Darker45]

Strictly speaking, bounty hunters are not investors. In terms of ICO projects in the world of cryptocurrency, bounty hunters are like freelancers doing job for the projects. And as such, they do not normally receive dividends and similar perks even if they are holding a certain amount of tokens in their wallets. However, there are also projects that give equal privilege or benefits to all token or coin owners. That includes the bounty hunters of course. However, in a different sense, bounty hunters are investing time, effort, and skills to help a project gain success.

[biskitop]

no, bounty hunter is only helping an ico promotion to attract investors. bounty hunter does not enter money into the sale of the ico token. instead they get toke at the end of ico. between investors and bounty hunters is an important element in the continuity of ico, but more importantly investors.

[ansarose1]

I think investors are far different from bounty hunters, however bounty hunters can be told as investors if they have with them their reward coins and tokens, simply they also managr to hold and sell their coins and tokens in a profittable way.

[FedorIzmailov]

I would not say that they are investors. this is most likely to be called employees of the crypto industry but not by investors

of course it's different, you should know because it's simple. investor is a person who invests his money for what he invests with the aim of making a profit in the future. Bounty hunters are people who follow the campaign with the payment of tokens from ico. this is a simple difference.

[Refozzblaze]

I think who called investors are people who spent money buy coins / tokens during ico or on the market (after ico). And for bounty hunter/airdrop participants who have coin/token is token/coin holder not investor. This just my opinion.

[ice18]

In my opinion bounty hunters are different from investors they are providing their skills and services in exchange for tokens and later exchange into bitcoin then fiat this is how hunters are but investors put their hard earned money into ico projects thats why I cant consider hunters as investors its was like in a company were hunters are the workers and investors are the shareholders.

[Russlenat]

It depends on how successful is being a bounty hunters, i am a bounty hunters also but i can invest also on cryptos so i am also an investors, but some bounty hunters remains as a bounty hunters and not an investors.
