I normally see some crypto projects which promise Investors certain amount of dividend depending on how much coin/token they own. The word "Investors" is normally used for people who own shares of a particular project/company, but in cryptocurrency this "shares" normally refers to coins/tokens, which makes me wonder if bounty/airdrop hunters are also considered "Investors" since they hold certain quantity of these coins/token
I think there is no distinction between the investors who invested money to buy the tokens/coins and the bounty hunters who got the same tokens/coins when they invested their time and resources to help promote the said project. And since we understand that time can be equal to money so they are the same thing I guess. The big difference is that many bounty hunters has the higher tendency to let go of the tokens they are holding once they are already available in the exchanges and which is just find because the allotted percentage of the whole token supply to bounty hunting or promotion is actually just very minimal.
