[infinitemlm]

 New currencies were often developed and used by firms as an alternative means of securing investment funds. Utilizing cryptocurrencies for crowdfunding requires a working knowledge of blockchain technology, as well as an understanding of principles behind crowdsourced investment.

We are starting to see Securitised Token Offering's replace Initial Coin Offering's as a method of funding business startups. They offer a better deal to investors as they act like traditional shares and carry ownership and voting rights. In the future ICO's are likely to be limited to applications where they act as money such as platform coins or utility tokrens.

maybe but it will take years before the market is mature enough so that we can actually see crowdfunding instead of people throwing money away at ICOs. and in my view these two are different. throwing away money is when some people create a useless token and get paid for it, crowdfudning is when a real company is raising funds to do something real and then give actual results.

and most importantly people have to learn to demand results from these companies who raised funds not to forget about them as soon as the ICO was over and they dumped their tokens for profit.

Crowdfunding is pretty popular in this part of the world. So far haven't seen any proper blockchain solutions to it yet though..

[tabas]

Crowdfunding has been popular even before the age of cryptos so with integration of blockchain and crypto's this is really going to be the future of investing.

it's hard to say in my opinion. because using blockchain and a token for crowdfunding is not the easiest method and it definitely is not the most efficient way of doing it.

i have seen many news articles talking about how this is the way to go in the future, some people even hype it up a lot but in the end i think the popularity of it will only last a short time.

I think they have already become the easiest and most innovative method to raise funds and most probably soon new businesses will also take a turn towards blockchain and cryptocurrencies, the most important thing is that older shares, stocks and equities can also tokenize themselve now and i think we will see this trend in coming years.

Blockchain and crowdfunding is change the direction of traditional investment strategies. And in the future blockchain and crowdfunding is also best field of investment. This is new technology which is still in the initial stage and have so many possibilities. You could use blockchain technology in every field even in agriculture, IT, Producers, export and import etc. This technology give you secure solutions of every transaction. I am belonging from india and still in my county its very critical condition about cryptocurrency and government still considering about how to implement cryptocurrency. And other hand our pm indorse about blockchain technology. ( source https://www.google.co.in/amp/s/inc42.com/buzz/pm-modi-pitches-for-usage-of-ai-and-blockchain-in-agriculture/amp/). So I think this is a future of investing and future of technology

all of that is not as easy as we imagined, besides the most important knowledge about blockchain is the concept of their real business, because without it I am sure the project will fail. We have already encountered many companies that make ico with business concepts that are unclear and in fact they are less interested for investors

[Nisharawal]

Sorry, seems like i lied. there is one funding site that actually uses blockchain. it is not really crowdfunding but interesting still

Well, we have seen the way technology has increased over the years in development and how the blockchain technology has also penetrated the space of crowd funding which for a while now; we have seen a lot of improvement as well as huge level of participation.

I will say if things are eventually done right, we get to see some pretty good regulation, and we are able to see some level of maturity with investors as well as investing in this space, I would not be surprised that we may probably end up seeing some future of investing in crowd funding with blockchain technology as well as blockchain and crowd funding bringing about investment possibilities themselves.

Blockchain mobilizes community capital to invest. It will be very developed in the future. Many companies, businesses ... will use the blockchain system in the management system. The higher the capital mobilization capacity, the stronger their growth.

[Happydd]

Blockchain is considered as a "key" technology for digital convergence and building on future information technology platforms. Using Blockchain to raise capital from the community for system development is a must. And there will be many places using this system such as finance, banking ...

[igor.vanyutin.83]

Yes, crowdfunding is the future of investing. It has become pretty simple and available for everyone. If you want to participate in an ICO, you just buy Ethereum and can participate in every project and this is awesome and opens the doors to the investors that do not have a huge capital.

[Soundy]

Crowdfunding is not really a new concept of raising capital for business, it has been in existence even before Cryptocurrency. Blockchain technology will only fine tune and innovate this capital raising model.

[SuneEmber]

I don't think (nor hope) that blockchain and tokens are the future of all crowdfunding. Creating tokens with no utility "just because" is bad practice, and we most likely won't see them much in the future, as buyers get more educated on the topic of blockchain and tokens.

However, I definitely see crowdfunding through selling a meaningful token as the future of some crowdfunding projects. Especially within the entertainment space where a token could replace a premium currency, or represent a piece of art (non-fungible tokens). As a supporter of these types of crowdfunding campaigns, it makes sense to receive a Token instead of a normal digital item or non-crypto currency.

The current ICO has declined, and the next model of ICO may be STO in the context of government regulation, which may be the basis of the next bull market, but this concept is currently under discussion and is uncertain whether it will be approved.

Crowdfunding has been popular even before the age of cryptos so with integration of blockchain and crypto's this is really going to be the future of investing.

We are already seeing the integration gradually, but at the same time, it is still a very new space, so nothing is basically guaranteed for now, unless we get to eventually see some level of regulation with that, which would help reduce scams.

We have always known IPOs have always existed in the past, and there is absolutely no doubt that the digital age with the blockchain technology is already making the whole thing a whole lot more even interesting and for what it is worth, we can see that with smart contracts, crowd funding with ICO is something that has taken the space by storm for a while now, so in a way, with some appropriateness, it is something we will get to see.

[hachiman13]

Perhaps we can find a new way of investing now since these past few months, the crowdfunding via ICOs have significantly lost its charisma to the investors. Though this just takes the case of ICOs, I still believe that blockchain has many applications that we are simply not aware of.

If that can provide transparency to the investors and it looks true. There was a lot of problems in the blockchain and crowdfunding that called ico right now. It needs more legalization.
This makes a small investors can participate to take their chance in invested on the startup. remember mostly of IPOs are only accepting accredited investor.
