Indeed until now the bounties was not profitable, maybe only if the bull run will come the bounties will be profitable, but until then maybe the bounty hunters start to trade, and try to make a profit there.
Nice reflection. There is no need to accuse the market circumstances for our mistakes in trading and bounty campaigns. Maybe, in the future, the crypto trading will upgrade to the next possible level with trade bots and we will be able to trade it within seconds, unlike BItmex laggy trading.
