What would you invest in?

It needs to be something public that virtually anyone can be a part of, not like your own websites or anything.

Are crowdfunding sites worthy? stocks, currency? anything else?

Bear in mind that the person giving you the $5k says you need to make an investment my Tuesday 5pm. Taking into account tomorrow is Sunday, then it's a Bank Holiday in the UK.
