As a bounty hunter always expect failures sometimes
1. Just because a golden year occurred in the past doesn't mean we will witness such again, yes it's possible but better adapt to present condition.
2. Promoting two to three projects and waiting for your payment doesn't make sense, as a bounty Hunter the sky should be your limit, since we can't tell which project will pay or not I suggest continues hunting.
3. Listed bounties may not pay, it's still same risks as bounty projects that aren't listed on exchange yet, rewards may vary but who am I to tell? I'm not a great seer am I?
4. Scammers takes advantage of Cov-19 alot and many still fall victim upon all the warnings, now we only have few days left till next Bitcoin halving, few new scam projects will surface, keep your eyes sharply opened
Well just because 2017 was a great year doesn't mean there isn't going to be a better year ahead, hoping is better, it's what keeps humans going, it's reason why some newbies still takes their chances with Bitcoin, I believe better days will come again, bad times don't last forever and it's also same thing to good times
