Do you feel crowdfunding can play a role of importance in Bitcoin mining some day?

Bitcoin mining has evolved throughout the years, and the next evolutionary step could just be around the corner. Whereas it used to be profitable to mine Bitcoin with a computer, hardware evolved into FPGAs, and now ASICs. Moreover, there is also the option for cloud mining, although there are a lot of risks attached to these contracts. To keep decentralizing the mining hashpower, crowdsourced mining might be a fascinating idea over the years to come.
