I saw myself. I also came here because of the bounty, and I didn't understand why people write so much while others "work". Yes, I then thought that bounty was a job, and I didn’t go to any other sections at all. But it's good that I realized in time that I was going the wrong way.
OP, this is a forum primarily intended to communicate and discuss topics about cryptocurrencies. Many come here with financial motivation, but this is only an addition to the fact that here you can get very good knowledge, which will soon come in handy in many areas.
So take the time to read, discuss, and maybe share what you know and do. The forum will be friendly to you. You can’t even imagine how you can understand from the texts of people how interested they are in knowledge or, on the contrary, see slyness and falsehood.
OMG, i just cannot believe that you are also involved in bounties. it must be a good story to listen of how did you shift your interests from bounties to interaction with members in topics. As, for me, my story is very short, i started to take an interest in Article Campaigns, and when my first article got accepted and it awarded me huge money. I was like on the moon (hehe). And then i started to take participation in article campaigns and after that, i came to know about local boards and found that there is my country too here.
So, after writing some posts there, i found it interesting as my own people (which means people from the same country) are here. which really motivated me and the story doesn't finish here. Now, i am working as a Content writer (as a freelancer), how did i get into this field? from writing posts on here. And yet i am still a pro learner and trying to achieve more skills. Now i think i can write any article related to the crypto field and i have found my niche (which is the most difficult task for everyone in the Content writing field).
