Airdrops... Once it's free coins, many don't want to loose out.  But truth is most of these airdrops are just an easy marketing strategy for getting the word about their project out.  A large amount don't pay the rewards promised and even when they do, the price dumps way below the ICO sale price and you end up with a bunch of shit coins and wasted effort. The only airdrops worth my time are non-ico airdrops already trading in exchange with 10 or more straight airdrops.. Least you see what you working for.

There are points to consider before investing, and I understand why some would just prefer to gather the bounties rather than investing considering the risks involved. Personally, I do bounties first, if the project is a strong project and I see the strength of the community as well as the project then I can weigh my risks and decide to invest.  But I don't jump into investing without seeing strong points of the project.

To be honest, the crypto world has become a sort of an obsession for me. Probably about eighty percent of my free time is spent on doing bounties,airdops,watching the crypto markets and finding new projects. And once i get a project that i really like,i can get stuck there all day!

I think it has to do with how deeply involved the bounty manager is and what he has access to. I have seen a BM  who has very good credibilty on a project. And a lot of people joined and trusted that project because he was there. But about three weeks to the end,he suddenly resigned and that got a lot of people to worry. Obviously he had found out certain info that didnt match up and he dropped off.The project still hasnt met its soft or hard cap and no one got payed.
So some BMs get roped into scam projects

I Believe they both pay the same way because the bounties that are run on bitcoin talk, the same are run here too. It depends on the bounties and not the forum.

Am glad to hear this. And i do see some bounties on bitcoin talk here as well so if there is no difference with the rewards,am sure there would be more participation here as well,and i cant wait to get started.
