Well, let's stop fooling ourselves - a lot of coins that are distributed now as a bounty reward are useless or almost useless. You have to participate in 100 campaigns to recieve at least one token that will grow for x10 from its ICO price. And now the number of such projects only decreases. So if we treat it like a regular job, of course it could be more profitable to get you reward in ETH, as this coin surely has a value. But again, it isn't a regular job.
