I think collecting even $1K worth of value through airdrops and bounties in 2018 was so hard unless you were so lucky or hard a couple of accounts in different bounties.
Personally my break through was 2017. Made tones of money from projects that were very generous with their bounties like Pundix and Datum, before Ether started to crash the next year after an all time high. It was crazy
ICOs were doing so well and I would jump from one ICO to the next. Buying and selling as soon as they get listed on exchanges. What I am really grateful about was that once I realized that a bear market was starting off, I liquidated most of my digital assets for fiat and stablecoins so despite the over year long bear market, what i had gained was an over achievement.
One thing I realized about crypto and business world is that you have to adapt and change strategies in order to survive in this game. Think quick and your decisions have to be swift enough without many emotions.
During the bear market, i have learned to trade and also a few more things about bitcoin and other interesting blockchain startups
Trading is now solely my source of profits when it comes to crypto. I no longer want anything to do with airdrops or bounties(at least It has been so for over a year now)
Other benefits of crypto are;
- You can get hired for something you have passion for e.g graphics designing, blog writing and also a position for other start-ups without even having much academic docs to present.
- I have never paid a signal tax from my crypto earnings and i hope it remains so. I have always hated the fact of having to pay my tax only for some corrupt top government official to enjoy it
- It sort of connects us allover the world, even thou we are anonymous, we can carry out business without having to worry about authorities breathing down your neck for our pennies.
