Previously, it was quite real. I have a friend who has not worked for almost two years and lived on income earned in bounty campaigns. But now it has become very difficult to earn.
I agree. Today is very different than before, you cannot depend on bounty campaigns and need a real paying job for you to live. You need to work but keep following crypto and invest with it. It is hard to find profitable bounty because though it has good plan and paper, it fails with the ICO and leave the participant without considering their effort to support the project. Hope that good projects be back on the track.
