At first, I am so eager to join most of the Bounty Campaigns, I even ignored Airdrops. But lately, I feel like it's so tiring. Some campaign don't even update the sheet and not even paying us tokens. So you feel like not interested anymore. All those efforts are worthless. Additionally with this Merit system, It felt so useless. My activities and posts are way more than qualified but still merit is nowhere to be found. I tried to create replies, and posts nicely and formally like "Jose Rizal" or even "Nicholas Sparks" but still no chance, it makes me anxious. I think this is the punishment for the late bloomer in cryptocurrency. Lol
Your problem is you got into crypto for the wrong reason.
Just like the expression "there's no such thing as a free lunch," there's also no such thing as a free bitcoin.
Waaaaay too many people sign up as members on this forum hoping to create money out of thin air, which doesn't even have a physical existence in actual reality.
That's not the way life works, son.
All the time you spent reading about airdrops and bounties, you should have been studying cryptocurrencies: what makes some better than others, to increase your chances of finding the "next big thing" like many of us did.
I bought into NEM for $60 before it was first released, before the term ICO ever came into existence. Months later I sold it for $600, thinking I was a genius. Had I held onto my original stash, at NEM's peak, it would have been worth OVER HALF A MILLION DOLLARS!
There's new coins going to the moon every single week. Meanwhile you're reading some scammer's post about how you can make money for free and you never even see where the actual potential lies.
Because I pity thee fool, I'm giving you one merit. Hopefully you'll take my words into consideration. Sincerely,
Uncle Nutildah.
Thanks for writing everything I was about to write. Thanks
It's easy to get lost in promises of wealth in crypto. People around seem to make bundles and you start at the bottom. Once you get to the point you understand each project you are trying to get involved in, you will be able to choose bounty programs wisely. Do people even read the white paper before joining a bounty or airdrop? Why are you then disappointed when promises are broken and you are left with nothing? I have not yet participated in a fake airdrop or fake bounty program. Matter of doing good research and participating in actual projects, not only promises of wealth. In the end I am glad they introduced merit. Perhaps the massive amount of people trying to support their families in non-crypto countries will settle a bit. This may be needed to ensure a bounty program is still viable long term. It also ensures that input given on this forum will be of a bit higher quality.
