I just posted a reply in another thread where the OP stated they considered bounty hunting was work with money paid to you for your time and resources, with it likened to running a small business. I felt rather that you’d ‘paid’ for the bounty tokens in your wallet with the time you’d used doing bounty tasks and reporting etc rather than with your own cryptocurrency or fiat, and that you needed to factor in as well the time wasted on other bounty campaigns where you didn’t get any reward/payment for your bounty work because the ICO didn’t make softcap or was unethical or a cashgrab or scam! In terms of whether bounty hunting should be seen as a part or full time job/small business or rather as a hobby where you may pick up a few dollars using your phone and computer and internet and time, I felt it would depend on each bounty hunter’s individual circumstances and prevailing tax and other laws in their country. I imagined that most bounty hunters here would treat it as a ‘hobby’ that may bring some reward of tokens that may or may not be worth anything, rather than as job giving predictable taxable income - but I’ve seen little discussion or information published about this however.

I’m interested in how bounty hunters here view their receiving of bounty tokens and the value from holding or selling them - as a hobby or as a job with taxable income? And also are bounty hunters aware of any tax or other ‘rules’ known to apply to tokens received or sold in the various countries we live in?

I think this should be treated as an additional source of income or investment. So how does that sound like it. And Yes, I think it will be taxed soon.

For me, hunting the bounty and complete all tasks is my job. I am responsible of my job as a bounty hunter. In this case, whatever the taks that should be completed, as my responsibility, I must fulfil it completely. Job wil require the responsibility to earn the rewards. After earning the reward, it is so pleasure to enjoy them. Regarding tot he tax, in my country, the government is still not legalizing the crypto. Therefore, there is no regulation about the tax of crypto.

There is no exact answer to this question. For some, this is a full-time job, for others - a hobby and is an additional receipt of money for the basic income. No bounty gives 100% probability that you will get something on its completion, so it's better to have a solid job, and use the bounty as an extra.

yes it should be much better to choose a solid job, but there's nothing wrong if this is a full-time job because I myself think it's all a solid job, it's just that we work in a different crypto world from work in the real world. and bounty results can be said to be bigger than the work in the world and with the results we can make business in real life.

For me bounty hunting is a kind of work but at the same time enjoying what I'm doing. I do love bounty hunting because I use to learn about crypto not only to earn some extra money.

Well it depends on individual, for me it's more than a hobby because I see it as promising and you can earn as much as possible doing crypto in as much you're committed to it but if you're doing is as hobby no doubt you won't devote much of your time to it and you'll be earning peanuts .
Personally I bounty hunting is work to me but I'm not doing it full time yet

I do it as a job and also as a hobby, it's because I like it and I'm very grateful to Satoshi Nakamoto because he has created Bitcoin and its blockchain technology which proved to be very safe so far. and because of the technology he created , encouraging the development of projects using the same technology and it makes me have enough income for my life

for me to be a bounty hunter is a job not just a hobby because I really care about the results of my work this one then I try to choose a good bounty that will make me earn a lot of money if being a bounty hunter just because Hobbies of course I do not will be concerned with the results I will be able to

Perhaps more should be seen as a part-time job. There are also many people who do the bounty campaign full-time. I think everyone's situation is different. It takes a lot of time and energy.

I qualify it as a work. If you are working hard and smart, you can earn good amount of money to invest in crypto or ICO, and take away your 9-5. Bounty it is great opportunity to earn some extra money and be financially free. Good luck everyone in this niche.

For me it's just a hobby. I spend most of my time on him, as I like this idea. I hope in the future the bounty campaign will develop. I believe that in the next six months, instead of the current social campaigns, something new will be introduced. I hope will introduce more interaction with the forum itself and not with the sphere around it

So far in my life it is a good hobby that began to bring me additional income. Time will tell and if it goes far ahead then everything is possible and this money will be enough for a life without work.

As for me I do not see bounty hunting as a full-time job. Too much time to wait - Pre-sale, ICO 1st round, 2nd, token distribution (10-90 days), mostly all token locked for unknown period when you get it, so if you the rent an apartment / got kids its pretty difficult to plan your budget.

I do bounty campaigns as additional work and as an additional income to help the family economy. I do my best to be a bountier, I will keep trying to achieve the best results although sometimes the results are not worth the effort that I do

I do see it as a hobby because bitcointalk itself is an interactive seasion where ideas are being exchanged and the forum is so enjoyable, so being paid for going to somewhere you love or something you love doing is a win win situation and taxes are not charged on cryptoholding in my country.

I think that this is more freelancing than business, and it is difficult to name work, as it is temporary and there is no guarantee that you will earn

Treating it as a hobby makes it a win win situation, because you get paid for something you enjoy. The moment you treat it like work, it brings in all the woes of too much effort, non payments, scams and feeling cheated. I think everyone should treat it as a hobby!
