Title: LinkedIn Killer? Bitcoin Upstart 21 Takes on Social With Email Play
Post by: OmegaStarScream on February 09, 2017, 03:49:06 PM
Cryptic bitcoin company 21 Inc has launched a paid email platform that seems far removed from its initial focus on hardware.

Its possible to get the bitcoins you earned to your bitcoin address/your coinbase account or simply donate them to a charity.

What are your thoughts ? I personally find it a good idea but I doubt anyone who is not famous will be able to use it and earn from it.

I guess 21.co is using this to collect information. By the way, you will need to link your Linkedin account with it before you can make any withdrawal. So far there are only a few "tasks" that allowed you to collect up to 2mBTC. No other tasks after that.

Like any company sometimes you have got to branch out and diversify into new revenue streams.  The more innovation in the bitcoin scene the better.   ;)

Why are people going to pay to send messages to people, when you can do it for free on LinkedIn?
I only looked at the homepage and haven't signed up, but it shows a profile and says you can message them for $5.

That might work for a dating site, but for career development it is a sellers market.
