Topic: Bounty Rewards: Sell immediately or HODL? - page 53. (Read 7196 times)

I've been doing bounty campaigns only since December 2017.  Not long, in the scheme of things.  But one thing that truly surprised me during the last couple of months is the number of bounty hunters who look to sell their tokens ASAP.  At first, I didn't understand why, but I think I'm beginning to.

For me, I'm doing these bounty campaigns for a bit of fun and to give my mind a bit work to do, creatively speaking.  So my mindset for any bounty tokens is just to HODL and allow the devs to implement their roadmap and take the project through to completion.  I think this will give the best realisation of value on the tokens.  Sure, some may fail and they will likely end up worthless, but since I only invested time, not money, into receiving them, I'm not really worried.

So with that mindset, I struggled to understand why so many people were eager to offload their bounties at the earliest opportunity.

But over the weekend, I sat down and did some calculations on the accumulated bounty rewards I'm expecting to receive.  Each bounty by itself was a modest return, but when combined in totality, it was a sizeable amount.  And that's when it struck me...

Lots of people who live in less fortunate parts of the world, particularly in areas with high unemployment, probably NEED to sell their bounty rewards to put food on the table and pay their bills.

But I really don't know if my assumptions are correct.  So, my question to you is...

Do you sell your Bounty Rewards straight away or HODL?  Any insight into your reasons would be appreciated.

well as fas as im concern event the token is coming from bounty you must know how to use it  you can hold it if you want as long you dont need the momey and selling it early can affect for the price of the token which can cause lose hope for the investors. But as long the price is low then keep holding it cause even its free you can gain a profit with it

Just like what you said some people sell their coins immediately because they really need very badly, in your case your only doing this is just for doing something and your earning money as well. Do it on your own decision and be happy for what you earn.

You should never sell immediately what you earned for participating in the Bounty. If you wait a few months, you will be able to get much more money for these tokens.

It's hard to say which is better. In some cases, to hold rewards for several months meant to earn several times more money. There were cases when it happened on the contrary. I try to divide in half and get half at once that would feel the return from work and keep half for long-term storage.

You have a good point. But do you know that circumstances can warrant someone to sell off all his token rewards. Moreso, market price can be a determinant for selling off the tokens, as the saying goes: make hay while the sun shines. But with utmost sincerity, if you're doing many bounties sell some and hodl some because no one knows what the market can be in future

You will not lose to hold them even you will not lose it too if you sell it at a cheap price, you get it for free from a job that I do not think spends much of your time, so everything comes back to you, if I were in you position I would hold it and sell it when the price is good enough

I like to sell them immediately and it is because I don't like the fact that the owners of these ICOs play so much with the price of a coin. At one moment the price comes down and the very next moment it reaches an all time high. I don't like such a bearish market and hence I prefer to sell it on the spot. I don't care whether or not it increases in value in future, but I don't want unnecessary panic because of these tokens.

In my case once the bounty received I sold it immediately because I noticed that when the token is introduced to market it started to dump. I convert the bounty pay outs to eth and when the specific token dump but have the potential then I will buy in such case I can have more token and hodl it.

That's a good question. I have not thought about it yet. I think I will keep the tokens, but I am not sure.
First I'll wait and see if the token are worth something and how much, then I decide.

Only one piece of advice for bounty tokens - HODL HODL HODL! The reason is that there are thousands of bounty hunters out there who get the same coin as you and most of those people prefer to sell their coins immediately for whatever price they are getting. Their insecurity is justified but by selling the token for so cheap they are becoming a part of the dump. So, the better option is to keep HODLING it for few months till the time the price of the coin appreciates. Once that is done, you would get a better price. I personally experienced it. Once I had a coin which was giving me 0.3 BTC, but when I sold it later on , it gave me 2 BTC. So I got 1.7 extra BTC just by hodling.

I think it's really like a lottery thing.

At the beginning, you will never know if the bounty coin will become bigger or not.

If you sell it early, you will get fast money but might be small.

I advise you to divide your coins. One part to sell, the other to keep in long. You never know what kind of coin a large exchange will add, maybe it's your

I'd rather hold reward. I believe this market is still young, and will grow in the future. The token value of new technology will go up. also you can gain more profit .
Well for me we should sell immediatley our bouty rewards because i have so many experience that after the coin has been introduced to market, maybe after 2weeks the value of it will start to dump, so my advice is to hold our rewards for 3days and then sell it before the value of it will dump.

I see how much the price of the exchange is. If the price is high enough, I will sell half, but if the price is very low, I will stick to the price increase. And see how many awards we can get, if there is any, do not hesitate to sell half, save a little room for savings. If the price is low, it is held. If you need a lot of money or a high price, sell.

to my opinion, when we got the tokens from the bounties, we must think carefully, if the token has the chance to rise more value in the future then we should not sell or just sell a little for ourself,  or we can predict the of that potential of the token can be drop in the future, we can sell immediately to cut loss and buy back at cheaper price to hold for long term.

I am also receiving payment for my bounty campaign this week. But am still waiting for the distribution tokens. So, I might as well give my opinion and my decision on what would I do to my hard-earned money. First, I would like to hold it for a little while and wait for the price increase. I would convert it into fiat to buy some things. Since, there are no stores in our country that accepts Bitcoins as payment for now. I

It depends on the what the project have to offer, once I realized that it is a nice project, regardless of the dump in such coin I will hold, because there is good feeling that it's gonna rise, and as you mentioned in your statement, needs are meant to cover in order to put food on the table, I don't blame those that dumped it's either they are in for fast money or they don't believe in the project

I live far from the most favorable country. And for several months'm out of work. I deal with small requests for the delivery of correspondence and food. I would love to earn a bounty, but I just started probyvat. I can say that I'm probably selling all at once, what will keep. Of course to spend it immediately to close its debt.

It depends on the bounty project. Some I think may increase. In this case, I usually retain the total reward. But others and I'm not sure that the price of a day will be much higher. In this case, I prefer to sell and purchase other altcoins.
