Crypto currency can be a funny world; As a bounty hunter and as a trader over the past year; i noticed a trend.
Trading altcoins and bitcoin is not always about skill.
Sometimes, my poor decisions fetch me profits; while well researched projects messes up;
Likewise bounty participation; well researched, unique projects end up not paying or delaying rewards; while rushed in bounties with high risk pays faster.
The thing is to just trust the process, and focus on it; it can only get better.
As for the instability of the crypto world, I agree with you and support you in almost every proposal.
I also try to sell tokens when receiving from the bounty, if the price for them is good, since holding them does not make sense, since many projects die.
It is best to translate everything into stable coins that showed good momentum over several years.
There is more danger in trading, since the rate changes very quickly, it is not always possible to get the desired profit if you certainly do not use bots for exchanges.
