Yes, I did. I bought the Eths - Ultimate Show BluRay / DVD Box Set through a crowdfunding at Ulule.com

Then I participated in several ICOs and they all crashed and burned. Some even disappeared. Including Accorn Collective, which was a Crowdfunding Platform running on Blockchain. But, since 99% of the "investors" dumped their tokens as soon as they could, the project went bust.

Let's face it, there are no investors in Crypto. Only guys looking for a quick profit.

I've sadly had not so fruitful investments in crypto myself... Thanks for your entry 👍

It's ironic that most people buying into ICOs call themselves investors...

Well, investors are people who back a project or company with their own money. Investors are people who wait for projects to come to life before selling their investments.

People who buy stocks or tokens to sell them as soon as possible are obviously people who don't believe in the projects, thus they are not investors. At most, they are gamblers or traders.

Personally, I'm done with that space. I'd rather go back to stocks than to put any more of my money into ICOs, STOs or Alt Coins without a working project.

I quite agree with your sentiment 👍

Congrats on winning @trincowski. Thanks to everyone who entered 👍



Fantastic! Thanks for the SBI! Highly appreciated!

Yeah, I've done a couple now.

I did the Steem Monsters kickstarter and, like @kenny-crane, got some packs and some pretty sweet exclusive promo cards.

I've also recently contributed to @bryan-imhoff's comic project (seriously, get around this one if you can afford to spare a little coin. It looks like it will be great - https://fundition.io/#!/@bryan-imhoff/fzjpdacz9)

And I vaguely recall doing something for someone locally here that was trying to get a book published. I think she achieved her goal, I remember getting a couple of prints of some artwork as my reward. I put them away for safekeeping waiting til my daughter was born. She's 3 now and I still haven't found them :/

Thanks for the plug... donation... resteems... just all the support in general!

I only started participating in some crowdfunding stuff myself last year. 3 out of the 5 were Steem related in some way! I did Steem Monsters, a comic by @jpgaltmiller, and most importantly... a currently running KickStarter by @drwatson who has a great comic!

@jrej is also running a current Fundition for his comic Shades of Men

Just wanted to sneak those plugs in on the back of your generous promo for me!

Thanks for sharing 👍

There are some great opportunities to get some unique works on Kickstarter 👌

If you would like to enter the giveaway please leave a direct comment as my prize drawing program only puts direct comments in the draw.

Thanks for sharing @sparkesy43 the project. Been playing much with your promo cars?

Hopefully you find the prints :)

Nope. Never participated in crowd funding but I think it's a great idea.

Maybe in the future you'll find something that'll catch your eye 🤞

Thanks for your entry 👍

My school is really modern and we have all kind of games between us. For example, we have a coin system as well, students get rewarded 1 coin for finishing all the tasks of the given week. In there I have taken part in some crowd fundings eg.: 300 coins to make to whole class have a day off. 60 coins to make the mentors dress up as pirates for one day etc.
It is real good fun :D
If I would win by any chance I would go with the SBI share.
Thanks!

Sounds like a fun place :) I like the one where they get a day off..

Thanks for your entry 👍

Hello. I'm testing out a giveaway script I'm writing using @kiobot. If you got this comment, and my script worked, you should have received Steem Monsters card [ in transaction . Let me know if it worked :)
@kiokizz

I participated in the steemmonsters fund raiser. Got some nice promo cards and some beta packs. I sold one card that made me a 60% profit on what I invested and I still have all the other cards. 👍

👍 A nice investment 😎

I hope you don't mind if I respond with one of my artworks :) They tend to express my sentiment better than words...

JZ-6 Love it's to die for small.jpg

Interesting art..

Have you ever participated in crowdfunding?

Thank you, I have not, have you?

Posted using Partiko iOS

Yes, a very small amount in a couple companies, and a few Kickstarter projects such as Steem Monsters.

Not really a company for charity yes, it was a bursary fund for underprivileged kids

👌 Great choice :)

Thanks for your entry 👍

@kiokizz, I've never participated.

Hopefully the opportunity presents itself in the future.

Thanks for your entry 👍

Yes i will wait for the exciting, learning and expanding opportunities. Welcome and thank you so much.

I would like an SBI share.

Beautiful fire picture :) would you be alright with me ever using some of your photos? I like to include an image for my freewrites. Do you have an Unsplash account or something similar?

I have crowdfunded a parkour gym. It is the only thing I've ever backed, and luckily it got built. Unfortunately I never really had a lot of time to go to it, but it is an awesome gym and I'm happy that I was able to help out the owners.
