2019 has been a year with mixed feelings for crypto enthusiasts. A lot of bounty hunters have now switched over to trading, because bounty is longer profitable.
Some that have combined the two (both bounty and trading), while larger percentage are still into bounty, despite not being profitable.
I envisage that in two to three years to this time, the population of people on bounty will reduce drastically, because it will no longer be profitable as it used to be.
I'm not sure people "switch" from bounty hunting to trading, since a person can easily do both instead of choosing one over another. And some bounty campaigns are still profitable. Not as much as before though.
