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.
If that's the case then it's not a process but a lucky factor, if the research you do always goes well then it's a process that really needs to be trusted. But indeed, a lucky factor will be very beneficial but not everyone has the luck which in the end only get disappointment. So, even though it seems like a random event, but at least the research has become the most important, although the results are not good, but at least you have struggled and appreciated a process to get success.
