Forget bounties and Airdrops

[Vishnu.Reang]

The biggest money making slot in crypto space is to be

1. a developer
2. build crypto wallets for new projects
3. find bugs in the system of many new projects

yes some paid for security breaching and all that stuff, rendering professional services is the best way to make money in crypto space now

I would have agreed with this post, if it was posted two years back. If you are a cryptocurrency developer, then you can make a lot of money. However, for the last 2 years or so, things are not looking that rosy with the cryptocurrency market. New projects are not taking off, even if they are backed up with good ideas and experienced promoters. Anyway.. I hope that the situation will change.

All three of the things you mentioned require special experience and expertise to implement it, if not then don't expect to reap more benefits from crypto, many try it but it requires a very long process.

This is a direct hit for those bounty hunters and airdrop hunters who are still hoping that they will gain profit thru bounty and airdrop campaigns .

Yes this is quite profitable but it requires lot of skills. Skills that only few of the bounty hunters have. If they have the skills to do these kind of things already then they will just stop doing bounty hunting and will focus on this. I don't think that there are many bounty hunters that are that skillful to do these kind of jobs. Yes they are profitable but it will take time to learn them. It is a risk that a bounty hunter should make.

the situation can change when the cryptocurrency name in the ICO field has recovered it will provide fresh air for bounty campaign participants but when there are still groups of people who are trying to steal the investors' money by establishing ICO then that will only make the cryptocurrency name worse.

I used to do bounties and airdrops back in the day full time but after the last bear market, I found that I could no longer sustain myself through them, so was lucky to find a job in a Blockchain company which pays my salary in BTC. I am lucky that my main language is English, so am able to work easily in the job providing back end support for customers. I also day trade part time and still do the odd bounty, purely because I like collecting different coins and learning about new projects. I do it more though as a hobby, than as a job as it doesn't give me the income security it gave me back in 2016/2017 That unfortunately is the reality. I only do mainly signature campaigns now and the odd airdrop. If you really want to earn more, it's true, you need to upgrade your skill set now and get something extra to do other than just airdrops and bounties. Unless of course you live with your Parents and don't pay for rent, mortgage, bills or food and also in a developing Country where cost of living is cheaper, then it's hard to live off of bounties right now, for someone like me anyway who pays for everything and lives in a Western country where life is expensive.

Do you know that all of those require skill to actually make it real? Not all of them have that kind of skills and don't generalize anyone that people have that skill. They actually choose to do bounties and airdrops because they have neither of them and it's easier to do so.

[takana212]

for the future there will definitely be a lot of work like you mentioned, your idea is better done from now because the three categories above require quite a long time to get to that stage.

[masattar191]

No, it is not like that as you said. Most of the bounties are yet genuine except some of the bounties, and we get/earn from bounties today also. Few days ago i got/earned some of the money by joining bounty. You Just need to find a genuine bounties. Work for the genuine bounties you will get/earn from them. whereas the matter of airdrops most of the airdrops are fake now a days. So, I do not go through the airdrops traps. I just beleive in the bounties. I usually discover genuine bounties and work for them inreturn they pay me. Thanks.

I would say that only 2 percent from all people who take part in bounty campaigns or airdrops have such skills. a person can invite 100 people through his referral link in a week in good airdrop and earn as much money as a person with some special skills

[TheGreatPython]

You can earn from bounties and airdrops, it is just that never really work or go for it, you could come accross to it and do something but hard working for something that will not even worth a dollar doesn't really worth it in my opinion. So, take a look at what they are giving away, first of all if it is usdt (or any stablecoin) or bitcoin which is quite rare but I guess getting a bit more popular these days (specially the usdt one) just do it, if you have the time, just apply for it, after all it is guaranteed amount and if you like the amount, there is no reason not to do it.

However if it is token, take a look at what they say token wil worth, take a look at how much they are giving out, and combine those two data to realize how low it could get, calculate like the price will be 1% of what they say it will, if you like that amount you can work, if not just ignore.

[ned.ryerson]

many bounty hunters still participate in every project to make a little money, even though there are some projects that don't pay, but I have no other way but try your luck at participating in the project, because I'm sure not all projects are bad.

You are right. There are a lot of good projects on the market that are conducting a bounty campaign. I believe that now Oikos is one of such projects in which it will be possible to make very good money.

We really have to consider this.
Do not be easily provoked by high price estimates, remember, they are only estimates. Whereas we know that it is quite difficult for new projects to compete in the current market.
Most current trends, some dev are cheating, they only use the airdrop hunter to enlarge their community by providing social media follow rules. Towards the distribution, they changed the rules such as: must KYC, must swap tokens with a comparison that does not benefit participants, until the reward obtained is not more than 2-5 $. That's really not comparable.

All depends on the bounties and airdrops you are participating in. Few are still legit and it required personal research before I normally engaged. Cartesi pays, TOKO, Harmony, all these are projects that paid well

well, therefore, I will never be able to forget these two programs, bounty and airdrop have provided many experiences many lessons that I can capture from here, so I better keep doing something that I can do from both even though the results are not too much at least can serve as additional income.

You are right, one way to increase income in the crypto room. The basic question is whether everyone fulfills the above criteria, where capital is the main basic key. There are many reasons why there are still choose to be Bunthy hunters even if they fall and get up when they run it.

Yes, absolutely true, if you have skills in the technical field then you would probably earn a lot better. As a blockchain developer, there are as many as opportunities have in this industry. If you are great in all kinds of blockchain-related work then you must be on a great path of successive future.

[FrozenBit]

If you have experience developing blockchain, you will definitely make a lot of money in this market. Just looking for the holes of new projects and reporting to them, I believe you will get a huge amount of money.

but when it has the ability to make money from cryptocurrency, the bounty and airdrop projects can be used as side jobs so that they can provide additional money which in my opinion can be used to grow assets for cryptocurrency trading capital.

[FireBallex]

You can still earn from bounties and airdrops, it's just that many projects nowadays ends up deceiving promoters, most times you might not get any payment or get 2$ for 200$ worth of tokens, One has to be a developer that's skillful enough to make money from developing applications and wallets

[LbtalkL]

I got your point it is indeed better than airdrop and bounties but not everyone has those knowledge and skills to do those kinds of stuff, Also, I cannot imagine if most of the crypto enthusiasts are all developers.  We have enough altcoins is the market already. Finding bugs is much better to help the existing projects or altcoins grow and improve more let's just support the existing good with potential projects. Doing bounties and airdrop now is not really worth it but I guess some people have really no choice that is the only way they know to earn some crypto.
