Do not believe on what YouTubers say about bounties- most are filled with scams that only wastes your time and it also contributes to the overall spam in the forum.
I have noticed that majority of the newbies who create their account in this forum are so inclined in joining bounties. I mean, I understand that you guys want to earn/make money but this method is not as effective compared to other methods in this forum.
Because they believe it is more easily to work with bounties and they even can get good rewards by selling tokens and cash it out. They did not know facts behind bounties, they can receive nothing after a bounty ends or token can not be traded anywhere.
Personally, I would recommend that you equip yourself with the knowledge about cryptocurrencies in order to gain merit. From there, you may join and participate in campaign signatures as they pay you weekly with cryptocurrencies.
I vote for it too.
They can learn, read, contribute and rank up. With an account at Full member rank, they can get $40 weekly. One month or two months in a good signature campaign will give them $160 that is better than joining a bounty in 8 weeks and might not get anything after 2 months.
If they don't know about signature campaigns.
