As bounty hunter my advice is
1).Take time to monitor closely the progress of the project you are promoting to see other opportunity apart from the bounty reward
2).Be ready to invest when opportunity present itself.
This is a transition where a bounty hunter could level up. It is but normal for a newbie to get bitcoin for free as his knowledge is limited but the more education on crypto he got, he would realized that getting free btc is not the way though there are some exceptions i.e. legit bounty campaigns and direct btc paying campaigns.
