I still get income from the bounty. Because bounties are not only from articles/signatures. I work on other bounties like stickers, bugs, and so on. By doing that, I get paid first than working on articles, signatures/social media. And can get paid eth or btc. So no need to think about the price of tokens.
That is really good to get paid in BTC or ETH. This way you are really doing safer. But I notice that you are mentioning about other ways of earning as bounty than what we do usually having like social media bounties or signature campaign bounties. When you have technical skill, it would be easier to earn in crypto space.
If you are skilled to create stickers or to fix bugs then you can be sure about consistent income stream unlike how most other bounty hunters are struggling without having consistent income stream.
Even if we have more professional skills like designing and creating stickers, a stable and uninterrupted income with bounty is still impossible when the difficulty of the idea, the value of bitcoin was higher and scarcer, all made projects that could only pay with their tokens, instead of bitcoin, and as we all know, the token is a lottery game, winning depends on luck. High skills only give us more advantages when we make money from bounty in special areas but over time, we will gradually receive competition and continue to struggle to earn income here
