I am not so sure about bitcoin crowdfunding.
Due to bitcoins anonymity, giving my coins away makes me always feel uncomfortable.
With crowdfunding, you usually have to support startup companies who have no reputation.
In most cases all you can do is gather information from the internet and their website.
There are just too many possibilities of fraud.
Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

Bitcoin crowdfundings is saturated by scammers so theres no way for me to believe on those false promises since i know that they will turned scam. I already see so many scams from it and that s totally enough for me to judge it in that ways so if theres people inviting me on that well id rather block them since i don't trust people who hungry for little refferal earnings since they only care for their self.

I dont think that bitcoin crowdfunding would have a chance to be better than a regular crowdfounding, the one on the web (for example, kickstarter).
It is because of a simple reason, the bitcoin is considered by a big part of community as a scam, or a ponzi scheme, so they are not going to get into it, because they are scared that the money will go not to the authors, but to the different people.

That is also I think why bitcoin crowdfunding isn't something great. It is because that I would never trust any company that runs that kind of a service, I would still make up conspiracy theories, that their website is taking the money of the users that want to help someone.

Would it make more sense to you if there was a smart contract on an immutable blockchain taking those crowdfunding money? Maybe crowdfunding with the use of trustless smart contracts are the future particularly for people like you who wont trust anyone. Which common sense will say is always the right move.

Anonymity means not trusted. If the company listed in government and or trade center. I think bitcoin is a tool but the businessman is the actor. You can't trust the bad businessman but bitcoin is trusted tool because blockchain is public ledger that anyone can see and watch.
