I believe in crowd funding.

the best option for minds who thought about a new idea and want to know if the crowd will like it
and by the way can get the fund from them by giving them the product.

I also really think that bitcoin is great platform for this process because most of the people that use it just donate it right now
and many wants the coin for long term
so maybe a kickstarter funds by bitcoin can really help for the community to expand.

As in my title. What do you think starting a company will be like in 30 years?

Will getting funding have nothing to do with convincing a bank, and more to do with convincing your peers?


Here is an example,

A chain of hair salons crowd funding global expansion.

I think it is going to get more popular, as the inflation of continues.
If banks will not loan anything to the people, this will be an important step for many start-ups.

I agree with that... this is why we are working on Coinpowers.com (http://Coinpowers.com), a place where you start your own coin in a crowdfunding form.

Crowd investing maybe, where you can actually receive a return on your money. That interests me as a good way to back companies you believe have potential at an early stage well before they are ready to go public.

But as far as crowd funding where you get nothing but a product, I don't think that has much potential outside small products, games, or maybe some charity type projects.
