I love this post and agree with it. But what if you don't have the luxury of switching circles (if that is required)? This post really grabbed my attention because I am working on a project that is nearly ready to be launched.
I also have a question. If kickstarter is the best platform to crowdfund (pretty sure this is true), how would you recommend I manage rewards cryptocurrency based donations?
Hola Ruben have you thought about going 100% Crypto? You can take your crypto donations, sell them for BTC and add them to a bank account with Coinbase if you live in the USA. We use a Bitcoin debit card but only Shift is available in the USA. I have never used a a kickstarter or crowdfunding program myself. You can also try to kick it off on Steemit if the required funds are not too high.
Changing circles is always an option if you are willing to give up comfort.
