I once backed crowdfunded hardware before crowdfunding services like Kickstarter were really a thing and they couldn't really get their credit card provider to accept the risk, so I had to use an international wire transfer for it. I guess cryptocurrency would be decent for that.

That really just boils down to cryptocurrency being good for business models that are so new that they sound really risky. I'm not really sure that enabling such models is really a net good to society.
