Stocks

While there are startups whose mission is to change this (e.g t0), investing in publicly traded blockchain companies today allows investors to gain a stake (also known as a "share") in a company working on blockchain technology.

Public Blockchain Companies The publicly traded blockchain companies (blockchain stocks) in the distributed ledger industry, have undergone the same scrutiny as publicly traded companies in other industries. A trend with publicly traded blockchain companies is diversification; software development, mining endevours, cryptocurrency holdings.

Crowdfunding
Support Decentralized Crowdfunding Platforms

Blockchain-based crowdfunding is similar to traditional crowdfunding, however, collected funds are accounted for and tracked via a blockchain. Blockchain-based crowdfunding allows startups and various causes to raise funds by creating their own cryptocurrencies and in-return, recieve digital tokens as which represent shares of the project, with the anticipation that said shares will benefit from token value appreciation.

Blockchain Crowdfunding Terminology:

Tokens are the instrument used to track and represent contributions. The digital tokens are held by the contributor as proof that a contribution was made.
Crypto-Equity refers to the holding of the previously mentioned token (issued and tracked via a blockchain) as an investment and alternative to a traditional legal equity.
