RE: Decentralized Crowd Funding Options.
Bitbacker and Tallycoin... first time hearing about those.
BitBacker is came to notoriety as Patreon started to censor creators on its platform. BitBacker claims that you will never be banned for your ideas.
That's the same thing Youtube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter said when they first started, and look at what happened, gov and social pressure on those businesses made them censor many content creators and projects. If it isn't decentralized it's not censorship-proof, but let's wait and see where it goes.
Utopian and STEEM are def my favorites, and let's see what will happen with Nougit on EOS. I really like the way STEEM projects get funding by providing news about the project.
Never researched Fundition that much, but guess I need to do it since it sounds awesome.
I haven't looked outside the Steem system much I guess and I didn't know about the Nougit on EOS. I'll check that out.
I suspect your concerns about BitBacker or anyone that is more centralized when they claim something, it should be taken with a grain of salt.
