Hardwork pays not luck!

[angrybirdy]

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.

The mistake OP made surely happened to a lot of people in the crypto space. Seeing other people doing trading and start doing it also without even trying to learn or analyze how they do that. They simply go with how they see the market and just do trading without experience or knowledge. That's why building a business would be better but the same as trading, there's also a risk in that field, you have to study different kinds of things and other things you should consider before you start your own business but the better option to make your money grow.

I say hard work pays but hard work with luck pays a lot. I guess money coming from luck is easy to lose as well. Either we get greedy or we become blinded and then forget to plan well on how to spend and make it grow. That's what happened to me some years ago. I was lucky to invest almost all of my savings in crypto last 2017. It turned into something huge that I never imagined. I also thought that the market would continue the same trend. In the end, I lost nearly all of its value when I sold them when bitcoin was in the $3k range fearing it might drop more.

Bounty hunting is like you are hunting for luck as we all know that Bounty campaigns won't guarantee that we get the jackpot. I got lucky with bounty hunting as well way back in 2017. I earned tens of thousands of dollars on that year and then hodl some of the tokens the next year which plummet. I came to bounty hunting again this time in the hope of having the luck I wanted to have one more time. I know it is not instant but I am patient to wait for the right time again and again. They say work smart not hard.

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.

Success is greatly tired to hard work and not luck. The place of luck in acquiring wealth is very infinitesimal and only less than 5% succeeds through luck. I have learnt that the only way to earn more money is to work hard to increase your earnings either by taking more jobs or by increasing your investment.
In your own case, someone doing bounty hunting is working hard, someone trading cryptocurrency the right way is working hard, someone working for a tech company is also working hard, so you being successful is not a surprise to anyone and your success wasn't achieved over night.

This is the reason I do not always support people that drags bounty hunters. In as much as they are doing it the right way which supports the forum rules, I am cook with it.

Bounty hunters who worked in 2019 to 2022 earned a very good month andbI know some members of my local boards who claimed they earned more than 6000$ in just one years. Some bounty pays 1k$ for just one video. actually its depends upon how much token price change. I doesn't like most of new manager bounties because most of them ended without payment.
You lost in trading because you didn't learned first before diving into it. bounty and trading both are different. In case of bounty fail you will not loss money while in trading you will loss your money. You are lucky that didn't lost all and you stop trading after you realize that you cannot make profit without knowledge.
Hardwork is necessary in every field but sometime luck favor one and make him millionaire in very short time. People who buys btc in earlier stage makes lot of money which an ordinary hardworking man cannot even think about it

It is a combination of factors, a hard working person can still fail if luck goes completely against them, however if luck does not affect them then they can still reach success as long as they can keep this hardworking attitude for a long time, however if you combine hard work and good luck then a massive amount of money will most likely follow, now most of us fall into the second scenario and this is why it is a must to work hard, as otherwise it will be impossible to reach the success we want for ourselves.

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

Yes it is not right to make money from crypto trading or bounty as a profession. I think we can start trading with some money from the money we get every month from our job or business. But we can't always profit from trading  .So we have to work side by side with trading. But I think trading is not for newbies, those who trade in new situations lose money most of the time. So we have to think before trading and start trading.

[danherbias07]

That's true and a real story for me. I gained a lot of money in the ICO days too with bounties and I even helped the project manager of a certain project to point out the cheaters who are using duplicate amounts. It worked well for me too because the division of the bounty prize got lesser whenever I reported those cheaters. I don't want to hear thanks to anyone, I did it also for myself and I can say I worked hard also at looking out for those users that are cheating the program. I never regret doing that because that's the right thing to do and I will do it again even if it's hard work that no one would ever thank you afterwards.
Now that there are not many ICO projects coming out I just use my spare time here in the forum but I do miss those days when I was very aggressive at taking down those who cheat.

Really no one knows about the future, when getting to know the world of crypto, I used to get big money every month but somehow the money ran out without me realizing it. So quickly I returned to being an office worker, and in 2020 I started again looking for money as a bounty and airdrop hunter and now I can get enough income. but the job of a hunter is only a side job not to be the main one, in every crypto world there are bull and bear seasons making the choice of an office job the main one. because being a simple person is more comfortable not offending your neighbors

It is uncertain. The only best thing that we can do is to prepare for it, so that when negativity comes we can combat it easily or we won't worry. Your crypto story is great mate and I'm curious if what is that activity you are talkin about. I don't think we don't realize it when we spend our money recklessly. We know it but we got carried away by our emotions and we can only regret it at the end.

The status of bounty and airdrop are I think not as bright as before. You better change careers. Try something like trading or investing, as these two are not seasonal or only just a trend. There are only bears and bulls cycle but we can still use both as an advantage.

I'm not sure we're ever going to have that moment again. It's the bubble era when ICOs were the thing. This day it seems bounty hunting is hurting those who participate in them by managers and projects reneging to pay rewards at the end of the bounty.

Again OP, addressing the generality of your thread, I'm of the opinion that hard-work doesn't pay. It's smart-wok that pays; even smart-work still needs a dint of luck to make it come through. Gone were the days when our ancestors told us that crap of hard-work paying off. People have to think smart to make it work and earn. If hard-work pays, those who lift heavy objects as part of their job specifications should be the ones earning big and not those in the office, thumbing on computers or scribbling on papers.

We lived everyday and experience new scenario in the system. Cryptocurrency is risky, is better and safer to keep this at the back of our mind before scouting projects to invest on, we shouldn't be too impressed ot desperate to expects results because it can turned on us anytime. What I can emphasize is that, I've experienced terrible circumstances in crypto space and I've learnt my lesson. Hardwork pays but luck is the one thing that fueled up Hardwork. Composing these two attributes together in the space will do great aides in the system, we just have to keep steady flow of income and innovating multiple streams inother to keep earning.

Well I won't completely agree with you on this. The truth is that though hard work pays, but sometimes in life it is not all who work very hard end up becoming successful. There's always an element of luck sometimes,.you need o understand that. You could be an OG and have all the fundamental, technical analysis knowledge, and yet a newbie with little TA & FA knowledge may just be lucky to ape into a project very early and make millions that you as an OG could not even possibly thought of making.

[uneng]

I also worked as faucet hunter many years ago, and I think it paid well after all... The point is that I wasn't hunting altcoins, but mainly focused on Bitcoin. It's not about being lucky or working hard (exclusively), rather it's about focusing your time and effort on promising and realistic things which will become valuable in the future. Back then I was making 0.001BTC daily only from faucets, which didn't price much, but when we compare to currently rates it's about 30$ daily. So it totally worthed as a long term saving account, much superior to any fiat investment opportunities available.

Even if you are working as bounty hunter it's not that bad, since you convert your earnings to BTC or a strong altcoin after you are paid. Don't hold worthless tokens and coins and you may see further financial progress along the time.

hard work combined with bad luck is just bankruptcy, thats why I think luck have quite big role in determining someone's success, you can't be just getting the best opportunity out there without any luck.
with bad luck doesn't matter how hard you work and try, even if you put all your life into it, if you're unlucky then you're unlucky no excuses.
im always firm believer that luck does indeed bring about many people success.
its just never elaborated further because some people who have gained success too embarassed to admit it that luck definitely affect their success.

You already have the knowledge about this industry and you just have to enrich it. Trading is a different thing from participating with Bounties ‘coz you’d be using your money to generate more. Being careless would cost you so much. Will and luck alone won’t give you success it should be a combination of these two plus dedication to learn the market behavior. Good traders did not make it in a single day or month; in some cases it took them years before becoming a profitable trader. Even with experienced investors, they are suffering from loss. Hardwork would put you somewhere far from your present status indeed but putting your heart into it would take you to the best route.

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.

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.

2016-2018 was a good time for the Bounty, there were some very generous campaigns.

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.

Everything in the crypto industry is constantly transforming and changing. What was relevant yesterday will be useless tomorrow. It is possible to make money in the crypto space only if the user constantly monitors new trends and narratives, otherwise at some point the usual activities will be a waste of time.

Yea. Hardwork plus bad luck always ends in frustrations. Most of the successful people out there will admit that besides that they work hard, they were just lucky.
Even if follow through on he template for success, work hard tiredness on it, it might still not guarantee your success. Luck is a factor that must be factor into the equation of success.

Your luck without a doubt plays a major factor, since often someone that reached a high level of success cannot really explain and teach to others how they did it, so even they do not understand how they got where they are, still one of the things with luck is that it comes and goes, so if you had a period of your life in which everything seemed to happen in the exact way to destroy your plans, you can be sure that this cannot last for long and at some moment this will stop and your hard work will eventually let you to achieve a moderate level of success.

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.

If someone wants to start a business in the first phase, he must have a good idea about the business. When starting a business in a new phase, he may have to overcome many problems. But I believe that doing business will not be easy for everyone. Again, if you do business properly.  It will be very easy for him. To own a lot of money in a short period of time it is very important to do business as well as to have a good idea about business.

....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.

I really believe this, hard work will always pay, no matter when, no matter how long, but if we have tried hard, to the maximum, and according to the path, then believe me, we will get the results someday. Along the way, we will definitely encounter failure, disappointment, depression, and various other emotions, but as long as we don't give up and keep trying, in the sense that it is not an effort without foundation and knowledge, then we believe that one day we will be able to reap the results.

If someone says that success is luck, this may only be a small percentage compared to the hard work that has been done so far. However, only at an unexpected moment does he succeed, but in reality, it is possible that he has actually struggled a lot before. And finally he got the results at that moment. However, if we only dream about it based on luck alone, never mind, it won't work.
