Hardwork pays not luck!

[AmoreJaz]

Just to iterate, working as a bounty hunter or trading in cryptocurrency was never my primary source. Still, I am working in a tech company and getting monthly salaries.

Don't waste your time just promoting bounties - it's not worth it. I'm not forbidding you from doing it - but you really have to consider this advice because there are many cases where sometimes the bounty or project owner doesn't want to pay for your work just because it failed or was a scam. Learn while you have the chance - it will be much more useful for your development in this industry.

If you have a monthly salary - then you can set aside a few percent of it to invest. Trading is not always as rosy as you think - and you should not be influenced by social media influencers who display fake profits, that's bad. Learn and invest - this is a simple option to save you a lot of time from wasting it as a bounty hunter.

very rare that you can find a worthwhile bounty program these days, unless, you will go to a btc-paying campaign under a reputable campaign manager. if not accepted to one of those btc-paying campaigns, better invest your time into valuable activities, like trading, staking or offering your services that will pay valuable coins.

trading is not to seek success in an instant, it is not only hard work that is needed in it, but smart work and emotional strength that must be strong, therefore the need for experience which cannot be done in an instant, but there are many events that are the same as that, namely a story of disappointment in the world of trading, and it is a valuable lesson for the future so that we can correct the mistakes we have made

[Dr.Osh]

I also had almost the same experience. However, I feel that whatever income I get from the internet, I need to have a real business, or a real job that can provide me with a steady income every month. Maybe, for some people who have been successful in building their business, they no longer need work like that because they are the ones who pay their employees. However, for people who are just starting to build their business, working hard is something that needs to be done and does not depend on luck. Even when we have a greater income than our main job, we need our main job to provide us with a monthly income, as well as being our main place when the other jobs we have don't produce any more income.

If you have a regular job then you should focus on your main job and when you have free time then do some airdrops and bounties on the side, trading with Crypto is not as easy as we imagine and sometimes some professional traders indeed they can make thousands of dollars in a short time when trading, but it will be very different when we try it, especially if we don't have a deeper understanding then what we have to experience is not profit but loss.

Bounties don't make good money these days, most bounties are unreliable now and don't pay as well as they did in 2018.  Between 2018 and 2020 I was able to earn pretty good money from bounty but nowadays it never becomes possible to make that money.  Most of the bounty still gets scams.  Earlier it was golden time for bounty so I thought to change my life with   bounty but that didn't become possible because it is very difficult to earn money from bounty now. Nothing good can be expected until the golden opportunity of Bounty returns.

I am a person who never won any lottery but when dedicated to working on something, I get an ample amount of money. In 2018 when I started working as a Bounty hunter(as the secondary job of course), After two three years I came to know how much money I had earned which I would not have earned doing an office job for 10 years. Here the game turned. Seeing so much money in my hand, suddenly I saw everywhere when traders were earning thousands of dollars doing cryptocurrency trading. It was like the grass is always green on the other side. As mentioned earlier, due to overconfidence and not following risk management, lost some portion of the money that I earned through bounties. Now I have realized that I must work hard and that too with dedication, then only I can have a good earning status. Just to iterate, working as a bounty hunter or trading in cryptocurrency was never my primary source. Still, I am working in a tech company and getting monthly salaries.

Crypto trading or working as a bounty hunter should not be a primary source of income.  This certainly cannot stabilize one's economy.  It's best to use your free time to get involved in this industry, do other work that already has a certain income every month, don't be too ambitious to have more money from the crypto and don't leave your main job in real life.
Even though everyone has the opportunity to be successful in this industry, you must always understand the risks

Of course I realize that - that's why I hope beginners who want to grow on this forum can invest more time in learning rather than hoping for a few dollars from a bounty campaign. It's obvious that the work they do isn't worth the pay they get paid - unless they have dozens of alts.

Bitcoin payout campaigns are reliable because the payouts are clear - but beginners should not make that their main goal on this forum. They have to learn many things and invest their time in various useful things that might make them grow day by day. This isn't wise advice - but it should be helpful to those growing and learning on the forum.

After two three years I came to know how much money I had earned which I would not have earned doing an office job for 10 years.

What kind of office job you are doing that makes you earned less for 10 years of working compared to your 3 years of bounty hunting while bounty campaigns are worthless even during 2018 when you started since most of them are scam or low pay rate. Unless you are doing a menial job that gives you a profit less than a penny then bounty campaigns is really worth a shot. But it’s better to focus on a job that gives you guaranteed salary every month instead of relying to campaign that doesn’t assure you payment once finish.

I’m not sure either how you can say this testimony while bounty campaigns market becomes a total useless since the year you start doing it unless you are abusing most of the campaigns with thousands of your alt account to get a decent share to a small bounty pool.

Bounty died a long time ago, at least 4 years ago. Now the crypto industry is dominated by another form of earning tokens, these are retrodrops and testnets. In 2021 it was a very generous industry, but this happiness did not last long. Now the space is occupied by big sybil farms and it's extremely hard for a simple user to compete for a place in the sun and get their stakes. Perhaps in 2 years this form of giving out new tokens will also suffer the fate of the bounty.

I would say even in that case bounties and airdrops are mostly empty promises and you should try to stay away from them as much as you possibly could. Not a lot of people realizes this but 99.99% of those projects are just people with absolutely no money, creating a token, hoping that distributing some of that token would make it worth something, cause them to get funded, and then they will have some money to actually build it, if the token doesn't get funded then they are not going to get any further and just quit. That's literally 99.99% of the things we are doing at this moment and it should not be all that interesting to see.

I believe that we are going to be doing anything that would be out of ordinary at all, and hope that we could just avoid them if we do not want to waste our time.

if truly wanna gain success you should have balance of the two, you can be hard working all this century and have nothing.
thats what most unfortunate people are having right now, so much hard work but nothing in return because they working at place where salary is minimal, with luck if you happen to be in good country with high salary you're settled.

Nowadys hard work is good but like what you said mate it's nothing to do when we are so hardworking but the salary is minimal so that's the reason why other choose to  (WORK SMARTER THAN WORK HARDER)  which means they will find another source of income like selling  or else investing in order to have an extra money. Cause if we stick to a minimum salary then we will not grow unless the salary will increase abig amount .

LOL. I have a lot of good memories with Bounty, probably thousands of dollars that I got while working on many Bounty campaigns.
Starting from social media campaigns, Articles, as a translator, and some big airdrops like eBitcoin that I never even forgot.

Now the era has changed, Bounty campaigns like in the past have ended and no longer provide a commensurate income.
But for those who are still active in bounty campaigns, it might be a lesson to work on their first farm.

Now Airdrops that provide incentives such as Uniswap, ENS, Optimism, Arbitrum, and some tesnets provide quite large amounts as well.
Now competing with many people, but of course, everything will have its time.
It's just a matter of time, then the way to get more money will be different again.

Unfortunately especially in this section, altcoins, luck has a lot to do with it.  Look at every bullring and check out what has pumped and what hasn't.  Sometimes there is no rhyme or reason why something succeeds and other better projects don't.  In my experience with altcoins its the projects that market themselves the best as the ones who succeed.

Life puts some opportunities in front of all of us. Sometimes we use them well and sometimes we use them badly. But, no matter what, life always continues to give chances to those who work hard. In my early years when I was interested in cryptocurrencies, I didn't make the best use of many opportunities. However, as I gained experience, I learned better what to do. I hope we all make the right decisions throughout our lives and continue to catch new opportunities.

[TribalBob]

If you see your neighbor's grass is greener, that's natural, it's just that we don't know how the neighbor can take care of it, the same goes for trading in crypto, I'm just like you, sometimes confused as to why people can be, even though we've taken the same steps as However, it all comes down to patience and luck, if it works for real it can give optimal results, continue and you can still invest in Bitcoin

well I guess golden opportunity only arise when bullrun is coming, but honestly there's no guarantee bounty gonna gets revived since everything right now already focused on retroactive and all about contributing to the blockchain.
moreover the fact that many devs uses platform like galxe or something like that since they quite literally could get away by just giving some useless NFT makes them favour it more.
its just overall bad situation for bounties in general thats why investing is best idea nowadays.

[D ltr]

Financial management and risk should be mutual, but we don't realize that we ignore both of them for the sake of satisfaction and greed to see big money, the crypto cycle really makes conditions unstable, especially if we invest in the wrong coins, our money could be lost forever.
luck is the main factor in crypto when trading

[chaser15]

Good for you then that you are having a good time now. Keep it up.

Definitely hard work pays but it's better to work wise than to work hard.

There are unfortunate people who are doing their very best at their work but still not enough. What's lacking in them? What I'm saying is, just be grateful that you aren't experiencing a worse financial situation like them. Love your work, love your career, and don't do stupid things along the way.

If you had earned money from the lottery,it’s better to start the business with the winning money.You can also start the trading which gives you good return,if you spend some time for the analysis for the trading.Some people use the offline business using their winning money from the lottery.But the important factor is they need to understand the business before starting the business.

The OP said that he lost his money after making a few trades because he saw other people making thousands of dollars from it. I think this is an experience that should be a lesson for everyone. I prefer to use the money from bounty hunters to open an offline business that I already master. Performing trade analysis is fundamental for people who want to make thousands of dollars from crypto. But using capital from bounty hunters to increase offline business capital is the best option in my opinion.
