This article should be the README before getting into Crypto world.

First article to point out 21.co. What is their product ??? Read on twitter - A guy asked MA a question for 100$ on 21.co platform, got "NO" as answer. 100$ for a NO...So a guy spent his hard earned 100$ on a question to a VC. VC made money, Donated that to charity to show off and gather "philanthropy" point in his smug circle, got tax savings maybe, his invested firm 21.co made money, 21.co vanity metric of donating to charity increased further.

Poor soul who asked question, got scammed.

But 21.co has a legitimate business model. They should have some sort of 3rd party metric guaranteeing a quality answer but I definitely like the premise.
