Bounty hunter is considered as investors with a big patience.

[bluedeep]

A bounty Hunter is not an investor. He becomes an investor if he buys the token/coin. Most hunters will dump their token when they get paid and move over to another project.  A bounty Hunter is a promoter, that is shilling a project to his own circle of influence.

There is  difference between a bounty hunter and an investor. An investor earns money by investing his own money. A bounty hunter earns money by working for free. If a bounty hunter gets a token, he can sell it at any time because that token.  T he did not buy with his own money, he can sell it at a profit for him. And an investor.  Before selling any token he will sell it after much thought. Because he has invested his own money in the tokens.

2017 was the peak of bounty hungting and most of the bounty there was paid and the reward was really big compared to thousand of bounties these days. Although still there was some scam projects and didn't make it from ICO to the exchanges but still you got decent rewards from there, compared to today it's really sad.

That's right. Many bounties are profitable before, because the rewards given to hunters had value after getting listed on exchanges. Yes there are also scam projects, but plenty of those are not scam, the reason why joining in bounties before are worth it even it takes months before you can receive your rewards and enjoy the earnings after selling.

Bounty hunters can't be recognized as investors because you don't invest anything(money) into the projects. That's the core key of investment, if you pay something to buy some assets for hoping to get some bigger return then that's called investment.

Well, hunters didn't invest money but they exert an effort to get paid. Investors and bounty hunters are different but when it comes to patience there's a similarity since both needs to become patient to gain.

[Velemir Sava]

Yes. i feel it too. This waiting period has always tested our patience as we have to hold onto their tokens not knowing exactly when or if they will be able to exchange them for profit and dealing with the uncertain outcome of the projects they are promoting. If you look at their responses, they are sometimes positive and less responsive. if we ask when, they answer Soon  .

Bounty hunters are workers and investors are investors,
the capital that must be spent by bounty hunters is time, and investors are money,
the difference is clear, so who will hold on longer, of course, the bounty hunter will win because they don't have a target,
it's different from investors who have a selling target .

Another thing is that the bounty Hunter isn't really investing time because he loves the project, he is only doing so because he want to get paid and when this happens, he may never near that project ever again.

A bounty Hunter isn't really working for free. He is working with the hope of getting paid, that's what is driving him. The investor on the other is investing because he want to make money, so he invest his money.

It's not "time" they are spending, it is just wasting time at that point and never seen them to work very well at all. I have been involved in crypto for nearly a decade and I can easily say that bounties are the worst form of marketing ever.

I think it's quite important to remember that if some bot looking accounts shill you, that's not going to get investors invest into you, some people think that if you do bounty and airdrop, that's going to get people to be interested but we all know that it is not going to work and we are not going to see that make a difference. Just realize that it is not going to be a big deal, and we shouldn't really be caring about it all that much. I hope that the best thing to do at this case is to forget about bounties and just find another method to make money.

[irsykes]

bounty projects are getting smaller and smaller prizes allocated to bounty hunters BUSD,USDT, and even then they are rare. when there is a project that looks good with equal token allocation while the distribution or less certain is just a waste of time. this is an option and I also have to do some research before joining the bounty, on the other hand there is still hope for airdrops.

[FahriZah]

Some time some bounty don,t pay thire allocation budget to hunter and try to scam all bounty hunter payments and some bounty pay us if we do 100 bounty and good quality bounty pay to the bounty hunter 10 bounties and in the 10 bounty giving hunter payments after ling time waiting that's why every bounty hunter need to keep patience more than traders traders can trade anytime but bounty hunter need to wait until confirmation from bounty manager.

What do you mean by working for free? A bounty hunter spends his time on tasks to fulfill the bounty's requirements, so he can be paid after all. There is time and effort invested on this activity, the same way an investor invests his money on a token or coin.

I believe the main difference between both categories is that investments are passive, so the person doesn't need to stay tuned all day long to make profit, while a bounty hunter will have to work on different tasks and social medias several hours of his day to get paid. Anyway, investments and bounty tasks involve risks of losing money for the people applying to them.

[isaac_clarke22]

Are you pointing out the bounties back in 2017 like when ICOs were kinda hot topic in this forum? If it is then yeah, they were kinda still profitable before, but not so worth it in the long run as commonly I just earned around $20-$25 worth of shit tokens. It might be high in my own local currency, but I had better earnings just hodling Bitcoin so these should be at least somehow be more profitable, but nah.

You know what's the worst? It's a hit or miss situation. Your 3-5 months of work could be thrown away when the team just decided to call it quits and no one's going to stop them from doing so.

And this is the reason why I quit bounties starting from the old days of ICO. Just ain't worth consuming electricity over worthless work that I could somehow use it better for freelancing.

[icalical]

I don't think bounty hunter is investor, the only thing we invest is ljr spare time, and it's not enough to be called investor. Bounty hunter is more like a worker, the different is that we don't know whether we will actually getting paid until the coin listed on exchange, even after that we don't know if we will be paid enough.

I think it is quite important to realize that we shouldn't be really considering bounties as a big deal, I think it is quite important to find other sources of income but at the same time it doesn't take hours and hours to participate so unless you are spending money on it (which you shouldn't by logic) then doing it is not really that terrible. For example there are bounties on this forum, if you can't find one that pays btc or stablecoins, then instead of zero, just participating in a bounty is not that bad.

Sure, there is a high chance you will not get paid, or even if you do then it will be a token that doesn't worth anything, but even with all that in mind I feel like it compared to doing nothing at all, this is still a better thing for sure.

I disagree with you in some of your points here. It is true that some bounty Hunter make a mess of a project by making post like bots on social media without really actually shilling the project, and this sometimes can be counter productive for the project. But, on the other hand, there are some very good article out there that were written by hunters for a particular project and has helped a lot in letting people know more about a project.
So, don't just generalize, just because some are stupid enough to be making silly post without direction.

[naikturun]

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 are both patiently waiting for the project to be released and get a good response from the market, but patience is really needed here.
then another thing to watch out for is when the project goes down some bounty hunters and investors might panic and sell their tokens.

And you are right on your decision. Besides the costs of electricity of running your devices and using internet, which is also paid, your time spent also has a cost which has to be taken into consideration on the final calculation of an executed work to reach out the conclusion if it worths or not and if you are being fair to yourself or not as a worker. Personally I think it only worths to work for fixed payrates, so you know how long you are going to work and how much exactly you are going to get paid in the end.

if we join a good enough project their token has a price this is still good than the token being a display in the wallet forever. not to waste time, we must be able to research the project that we will join so as not to waste time. and there are still ways when we use the internet to be able to make money, airdrop, bugs, content creators as long as we want to fight

My experience tells me that sometimes to sell bounty rewards as soon as it hit the exchange may be a good decision. I have noticed some bounty posters who have complained of not making profit from the rewards after they left it believing it will increase and some reduce to nothing after a while. For me I decide not to regret when I take decision to sell.

I agree that it would be wiser to sell the bounty rewards right away after receiving them than waiting for the price to increase because most of the time, the prices drop down and these cons are having a hard time recovering. Some developers believe that bounty hunters could dump the price after getting paid but that's the wisest thing that bounty hunters can do so their efforts won't be wasted.
Reliable and legit bounty projects nowadays are fewer than scam projects so we have to be skeptical so we won't fall for their trap.

It is nothing more than stupidity if someone doesn't sell their bounty rewards only in the hope that the price of the token might increase in the future, it barely happens when an altcoin running a bounty campaign gets enough success and the token gains a significantly high value or at least goes higher than where it is at the launch, they mostly tend to lose value over time.

The best way to go about it is to sell it as soon as the token is listed in an exchange because sometimes developers or the team dumps all their tokens as soon as the token gets listed so that they can run away with funds they will receive by selling all their tokens and investors fall prey to that.

Depends on the bounty reward obtained. If the bounty reward is in the form of a project token that is still not listed anywhere, then there is no other way but to hold it until it is listed on an exchange or Dex. But if the bounty rewards are in the form of coins that have been registered such as Bitcoin, ETH or other coins the decision to sell is a pretty good decision. But if you still believe the price will go up, then wait and hold for the long term. it's a personal choice to hold or sell.
