Bounty hunter is considered as investors with a big patience.

[yazher]

Most bounty hunters are only investing their time and also their reputation is on the line because some of them are using their real FB or any other social media and others will get their relatives into investing in those projects and imagine if the project is all fraud. what will they lose?

Of course, they will lose trust from their families and friends. That's why others will create alternative social media accounts for bounties to avoid such things to happen because they cannot be sure if the project they promoted are legit or not.

I actually laughed when the OP used this comparison when talking about hunters, although I don't think much of a hunter-related investment in this environment, I fully admit the bounty environment is getting worse and worse. quality and not many projects are really right about the value and the way they build the project. Maybe now there are many different approaches to project dissemination, but in general, hunters are the ones who always suffer more when they accept to participate in poor quality projects, Sometimes I'm also curious to see if the number of people willing to spend money to invest in projects where they participate in airdrop, bounty, testnet,... are really many.

is true. i follow it often it looks i get free coins. but we always campaign for projects in this forum and various social media. it allows us to have coins that should be invested based on the good level of our work. but we need the project to really pay, i only felt that in 2017. so hard now but we trust the well known bounty manager.

Bounty Hunter is not an easy job, it requires focus and patience. If a Bounty hunter uses his personal identity it is related to investment or cryptocurrency platforms. It's better to create a new social media specifically for crypto sharing. That way it will be better. But still have to warn in every post with a warning that will not be responsible for any loss.

Well, I have to agree with that but nobody has pushed them to join in airdrops and bounty hunting, it was their will to do it.
I would say that they are more than an investor, they are sometimes hopeless from their shitcoins holding them without any assurance that it give them returns after a long time of waiting. If they got lucky they will get more and easy money but unfortunately, most of the time they never get what it deserves from them in promoting projects which in the end it fail then and give nothing to the hunters.

ICO days are the best days on which making yourself to be a bounty hunter on which it could still possibly be able to give out thousands of dollars of profit out of your hardwork or promoting them.
Nowdays its never been worth because you would really be getting shitcoins out of the tasks and time you had put into. There's no way that it is really that worth on doing so but surprisingly there are still lots of accounts or member of this forum is been flooding out those bounty threads that launched even up to this moment which i dont know on what the heck theyve been pursuing into if those
projects do fail most of the time.

Bounty hunters arent considered to be investors because they arent putting up money on investing or supporting it.They are just marketers and making up some exposure on which there's no way
that could be considered to be an investor on that way. All they need is to make out some marketing and been paid on the tokens on what the company or project been allocating.

[asyakashi]

that's right . we are only campaign hunters but always patient, unfortunately there are even some projects where they successfully run sales but don't pay bounty hunters at all, there are also those who pay when we face a very deep decline. i miss 2017 so much that even a no-name bounty manager could be trusted to pay us tokens on time. we get no less income as an investor should be, but they seem to look down on us now.

This would be bit exeggarated statement but it's not exactly wrong in my opinion. Bounty hunters also research about projects that they wanna hunt. They may also hold those nearly free coins for months or sometimes even years. I observed some altcoin projects getting high transaction even after 1 year passes. So if you are long term holder of bounties its safe to count you as investor. But otherwise, if you dump your coins right away you receive, you are not investor then.

I also previously participated in various bounties held on the forum and I have a very large number of different tokens in my wallet, the cost of which is equal to a few cents as 6 years ago. Those tokens that have not received a listing on the exchange have never increased in price.

[Apocollapse]

Nah, bounty hunter isn't considered as investor, but it's considered as a poor and lazy person looking to get token.

Bounty hunter isn't put any effort, tweeting, share, shitpost, shilling etc is really an easy task and they hope they will get a good share, that's ridiculous. Bounty hunter isn't risking anything, unlike investor who gamble his money on a shitcoin project.

Both bounty hunters and investors require a lot of patience, but i think the expectations and context of their patience may differ. Bounty hunters may need to wait for a target to appear or for a lead to materialize the bounties that they get, while investors may need to wait for a company to reach a certain level growth or profitability. Bounty hunter and investors both requires persistence and the ability to stay committed to their goals. That is why they need a lot of patience, as we all know that patience is a virtue.

I was joining bounty from year 2017 till present i have experience joining different signature and social media campaign with good  earnings and there are also campaigns that is not profitable  and sometimes there are campaign that doesn't pay, because the project does not reach the hard cap when they launch ICO, most of the projects pays token that is not listed on exchange and we need to wait a months or maybe a year before we can sell our tokens and get the profit and sometimes we also buy tokens from the good projects that we promote and hold, can we considered the patience of the bounty hunter same as the investors patience?

They have the similarity but not in all aspect, they are the same waiting for the token to boom before selling not all but most of them, they are the same wanting to gain big profit the difference is that investors used thier money while bounty hunters used thier effort on promoting the project to get a token.

[blockman]

Sort of and your capital that has been committed there is your time and effort, still, that's an investment IMHO. But we've got different thoughts about it if it's coming from the bounties. There are people that don't see it as much as you can see it and that's totally fine you have to respect their opinion about the situation and the same goes for them that they should also respect you for having that thought of what you've brought up.  And that strategy that you've brought is still being done today, like those projects that have test nets and mainnets. Those that were able to receive their airdrops and held it until they were listed and saw the launching price of it, it's worth it for most of them.

The amount of patience you have is truly commendable because you didn't quit on this business for about 6 years but I can feel that there are more years to come from you because you are used to this already. Some bounties can fail but if they get lucky to get a good amount of investor, the earnings that you guys can get is also bigger than on what the BTC sig campaign participants are earning. Bounties have changed through the years.

The rewards seem to decrease now but the rate of scams have lessened because some bounties can now pay in established stable coins. Even if you don't invest in the project that you promote using your own money, you are still considered as an investor because you invest your time here.

Unfortunately, it is accurate, the risk of losing a reputation is significant. All bounty hunters went through this. It's not very pleasant to get out of the situation when you do a post or repost, and then the project turns out to be a scam and your friends begin to make claims to you for advertising it. You have to either block or create such accounts only for a specific company.

Yeah I agree, that's why I create another social media account to prevent something like this, in my place there is already a case where a promotor from a scam project got caught by the police because he promoting a scam project. Its better if before we do a job as bounty hunter we should research the project first because with that we can reduce the risk that we will get scammed by the owner of the project.

[Iyeman]

the thing is that the team allocating some share for marketing which also includes bounty and that's it, whether it's called being investors or something else is entirely different thing.
yes maybe you could call yourself an investors but from the point of developers you are their marketing force. but finding good and legit project is essential.

[danherbias07]

It is true. You are also part of the marketing strategy of the company behind the bounty campaign. They are not actually just making you an advertiser of their campaign but also trying to attract you to buy the product itself.
I've done a lot of bounties before and I could say I fell in love with some of them so I decided to buy more. Luckily, I found a good position to sell it back and make some profits but not all have a good ending. Some are scams and just wasted both my time and effort in supporting them and buying coins from their ICO projects.
OP, the decision will depend on you, if you think it's worth buying after some deep research then do so. But if it's not just advertise them and move on, or better don't advertise them at all if you cannot find a good sign for their business to be valuable in the future.

actually the patience of the bounty hunter is even greater, because it is not just being an investor, but waiting for the prize to be received, and sometimes it is paid and sometimes it is not paid, or even paid but there is no price. especially if the capital used for investment comes from the prize, so you have to be good at managing your finances. on the other hand real investors have greater psychological pressure because they use personal capital, so they must fully understand the field they are investing in, to minimize risk

It is the case with many of us older users of this forum, where we took part in bounties and the tokens are worth zero value today. The reasons vary but mostly the projects failed to deliver any product that changes the current market and thus they died out a slow death. Today their owners have mostly left and advisors left as early as the lock in period ended and investors are waiting for better prices to dump their coins.

In crypto, this is why bounty hunters cannot become patient investors, the more they try to accumulate bounty tokens the lesser returns they will get. One in a million projects might be worth a huge amount but that is like the jackpot - never reachable practically.
