How good (or bad) have your bounty rewards been in 2018 in comparison to 2017?
A lot depends on the projects you choose to work for. There are so many out there now, sometimes 3-5 new ones per day or more, that it's easy to miss any "good" ones, which is almost impossible to know when they first start out anyway. Part of it at this stage is luck.
Another part is the amount of money sloshing around the crypto space is orders of magnitude lower with many more participants than last year. So, it seems despite the fact the bear market is grinding all our sentiment and hope to dust, the popularity of crypto is slowly increasing regardless. The markets will likely remain close to what they are now or worse as the money men have firm control at the moment, and the mood in crypto is somber - just the way they want it.
The controllers will continue to slam markets seeking investors to capitulate until the masses wake up to the monetary abuse they've suffered under for so many generations, and start piling into crypto. At that point, it will be like 2017 all over again AND THEN SOME!
Everyone who knows about crypto should be bringing it up in conversations with people as much as possible. Awareness is all that's missing at this point. Everything else is in place, a world reserve currency that's reaching its mathematical lifespan limit, governments around the world are realizing their citizens are unhappy with their actions and it's causing increased social unrest, the media is always talking about war breaking out, the amount of people getting into crypto now is starting to increase, England has refused to give Venezuela's gold back, and the futures laid out for younger generations is bleak.
The facade is beginning to crack. It won't be long before the curtains are pulled back in the theater, exposing the brick wall there.
There is no doubt when the big crisis hits, people will be spending their fiat on anything they think will hold value. And because the vast majority of human beings cannot yet afford gold or even silver, cryptocurrencies will shine with the brightness of the sun one day soon.
