I dont understand why people still expect to get something from bounties and airdrops (except retrodrops)? First of all, who has said that bull season is near. From the beginning of 2023, Bitcoin price has increased from $15k to $30k, as well as many altcoins gained a lot. During that period, we did not have increased amount of bounties on the forum. So why during bull season there will be any difference? There will be only increase of scam during upcoming bull season, that is for sure.
People are waiting for the rise of the market. Because they always to earn more. The rise of the market attract a lot of people. Many people attract attention to cryptocurrency to earn more and more. But also it is necessary just to remeber that the more popular cryptocurrency becames the more people use it and what to earn money on it the more scams appear.
However old cryptocurrencies dont run bounties or airdrops. Only new projects do this. You are right that you think that during bull season the number of crypto projects will increase, but many of such projects will be worthless, abandoned in future and etc. Like I've said - scam. I will remind you the purpose of bounties and airdrops - promotion. They are like advertisement. Strong projects dont need advertisement, investors find them themselves. Crypto market isnt new already. Strong projects dont need to announce about their presence. Instead, investors themselves seek for them. That is why projects dont bother about promotion much right now.
