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 no longer profitable.
Some 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 have also switched to trading because of the bounty scams getting too much. Devs are tricking hunters into doing marketing for them, then they change their minds at the end of the token sale and lock rewards meant to be paid hunters after several months of work. Its not worth it. All that time spent will be used to pick out good coins for trading in my opinion
