This is what I also frequently say to those people who for some reason quit their job to focus on "bounties". Trading is another thing, but you really don't gain any sort of "experience" with bounties. Sure, you probably learn a bit when you read and post a lot, but I've always suggested people to sticking with improving their marketable skills. While doing bounties, It'd be great to learn a great modern skill like programming on the side. Just so they have something to fall under if ever bitcoin does a nosedrive.

It's easy to forget that many people on here are in countries with either no jobs or pitifully paid jobs. If I were rotting in some backwater the opportunities available here would look extremely compelling. There are no barriers to entry. You can operate from anywhere in your own time.

I don''t blame such people at all. I'd do the same. I do wish they spouted less shite. If you do decide to go all in then you're a fool if you don't plan for whatever you're milking to come to an abrupt halt, or in the case of 'bounties' the whole lot turns out to be worthless.

If I were in such a position I would work on becoming a worthwhile and valued member first and then opportunities may arrive. Hammering it from the off is probably going to lead to oblivion.
