Thread 60514355

It kinda hurts to see that "it's all true" to a degree that was barely even imaginable, and for us to be under $15. If LINK had just gone to $80-$100 for the last few years, my life would have been completely different.

>>60514388
Sergey is personally suppressing the price to allow post-ICO anons who missed out to accumulate. Trust the plan.

Answering every question except these 3.
>How many of swifts 11,500 banks will be ready in july when the new standards are released?
>What has to happen for staking pool to expand and/or update to v1? Is it technical issues or are they waiting for profit to hit a certain amount?
>Staking was legally passed in the US as of this week, however CLL has not given the go-ahead on us stakers claiming SXT rewards. Why?
Answer these 3 questions and I shut up until smartcon.

>>60514402
if this smartcon turns out to be another nothingburger I swear I will take every single LINK I own and hold onto it for next year while I hope things improve.

>>60514416
Kek.

>>60514416
Kek. I will hold for decades, probably even generations but it's hard being patient.

>>60514455
Price? Dumping

In other words, it’s never been more over than it is right now

that's literally the best time to buy tho

not if the low sentiment is based on reality

why have you been listening to me for four years?

outside of one sec meeting, is there any evidence that chainlink is having all of these meetings

and just psa for all, every crypto company has had that same meeting so def nothing special

here's the list if you think i'm lying https://www.sec.gov/about/crypto-task-force/crypto-task-force-meetings

What makes you think staking is suddenly available for Americans this week?

also what is wrong with sergey's nose? it looks like it's split

The SEC states that staking rewards are "payments for services" said service being validating transactions. This means it is not profit from a 3rd party, making it not a security.

>>60515470
linkie stakers aren't validating shit tho soooo

or or or you can be like me and work on something that will contribute to Chainlink's growth and usage.

Steve Ellis went to ETHDenver in 2023 to voice frustration that no one used AnyAPI much and so they redeveloped it into Chainlink Functions.

People still aren't using it. You can change that.

>>60517249
>People still aren't using it.
and who is at fault here? they wasted money to build something nobody wants

>>60517249
ironic that nobody from chainlink (steve included) made anything with functions either.

>>60517543
Functions is clearly useful for full-on tradfi adoption. A must even.
It's just that grassroots crypto as a whole has almost completely stalled, so it's up to the banks to save the industry. And when they do, the ability to use APIs without any threshold (i.e. Functions) will be invaluable.

kek /biz is so dumb fall for anything every time, some of these same fags were heavily invested in lunc

thank you sirgay, with your valued efforts the grift can continue for another 2 more years before cashing out the the final 350,000,000 stink tokens

>>60518706
Sergey gobbled up Defi and brought in more institutions than any other crypto in existence.
And all with a solidly average inflation rate.

He's the last person you should be blaming.

>>60518713
why are you so hellbent on defending him in particular? are you perhaps on his payroll?

>>60518722
There's literally nothing to attack him for. Not a single argument makes even a little sense.

>>60518726
would you be willing to consider the possibility that he might have made some mistakes as the CEO of SmartContract so far? like overestimating the willingless of his countless tradfi connections to jump ship to blockchain tech, his eagerness to announce features way earlier than it would be feasible for them to exist, perhaps the lack of clarity that entails the entire company, a clear utility for the token and so on

>>60518713
Bro this is /biz/ not /g/, I don’t give a fuck if Sergey solved world hunger or created faster than light travel. If his company is still bleeding price than ain’t nobody care

I shan’t be buying link ever again till this nigga figures out how to grow the price. Still salty I bought in 2021 and sold for a loss but at least I am not like the bag holders here still hoping this man can pump link

>>60518738
>overestimating the willingless of his countless tradfi connections to jump ship to blockchain tech
He's said this himself years ago. Not his fault institutions and legislators are so slow/malevolent. I bet most tradfi CEOs thought this was going to happen sooner.

>eagerness to announce features way earlier than it would be feasible for them to exist
Tell me Link is your only crypto without telling me.
Look up sharding. Look up how long it took ADA to even have a blockchain let alone smart contracts (and they still don't actually work). Look up ETH's beacon chain lockup marathon. Look up Solana slashing.

This is literally NOTHING compared to the broader market, especially considering the gargantuan merits of Chainlink.

>>60518766
so Sergey is immune from criticism because others have done worse?
your logic doesn't make an ounce of sense, anon, but at least you indirectly admitted all of his mistakes, so that's something

>>60518772
>you indirectly admitted all of his mistakes
There are no mistakes.

Thinking tradfi would move faster isn't a mistake.
Delaying one deadline in 8 years isn't a mistake.
It's retarded to claim otherwise

>>60518738
no Sergey is perfect he was hired to torture weird neets so that they become evil and will use their riches to transfer their suffering to the masses

>>60518832
>There are no mistakes.
this is exactly how I know you're paid to do this
even the most die hard LINK supporter would at least admit some mistakes were made

>>60518840
>gobbles up defi and more concrete institutional interest than any crypto in existence
>"YES BUT HIS MISTAKE IS TRADFI BEING SLOW AND THAT ONE DEADLINE HE DELAYED THAT ONE TIME"

You really need to stop kvetching, Schlomo

>>60518832
THIS IS THE MIND OF A DELUDED CULT MEMBER
NO POINT IN ENGAGING WITH SOMEONE AS BRAINWAHSED AS THIS ANON

>>60518866
You tell me what mistakes he made. And make sure they're better than what the other guy said.

>>60518853
the tactic of misrepresenting and ridiculing what I've said won't really help your case, paid shiller
he obviously should have known that tradfi moves extremely slow before making all these grand statements throughout the years, that's objectively on him
it's not even one deadline he delayed one time, he had been teasing staking since 2019, super linear staking has been absent for more than 4 years, DECO has been announced so many times I've lost count, CCIP was delayed almost 2 years and still hasn't even took off and I can literally go on for hours

>>60518871
>he obviously should have known that tradfi moves extremely slow
And?
He wouldn't have done a single thing differently even if he exactly how long it was going to take.

What the fuck are you even talking about?

>it's not even one deadline he delayed one time
Yes it literally is.
"Teasing" as you put it doesn't count for shit.

>>60518885
HE EVEN SAID HE REGRETS SAYING THIS IS THE YEAR

BECAUSE HE'S BEEN WRONG AND HOW HE UNDERESTIMATED HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE

>>60518904
>HE EVEN SAID HE REGRETS SAYING THIS IS THE YEAR
source it.

And name one thing he would've done differently even if he knew it was going to take longer than many expected.
Would he have turned down major institutions?
Would he somehow have attracted MORE major institutions?
Would he have forced them to adopt?

Not a single thing. This is such a braindead thing to even bring up, what is wrong with you.

So how is thinking tradfi would move quicker a mistake?

You can't answer because you're a lying jew paid to move the goalposts indefinitely.

Yeah, people like Trump, swift, dtcc, visa, jpmorgan, etc.
If those are the "wrong people", then who the fuck are all the other cryptos talking to kek

>>60518832
>Thinking tradfi would move faster isn't a mistake.
If your "crypto" project was reliant on tradfi to be relevant, then perhaps you've missed the plot entirely.

They were hoping linkies would be useful idiots (and some are) in cheering on tradfi's complete takeover of crypto but instead the autists kept fudding kek. now CLL is reliant on clowns like Chris Barrett, CLG, Fishy, etc. to try and build excitement around their globohomo shitcoin and, predictably, it's failing.

>>60519851
>If your "crypto" project was reliant on tradfi to be relevant
Are you retarded or something.
Defi is pretty much the only functionality crypto has, and Chainlink has been its cornerstone for the past four-five years.

>>60514355 (OP)
Yeah but chice? Oh, and part?

>>60518832
>Thinking tradfi would move faster isn't a mistake.
fyi, that comes from a company that did not deliver anything of value in 8 years

>>60522038
>a company that did not deliver anything of value in 8 years
Pretty much everyone in crypto uses Chainlink. Hell they rely on it.
Bofa was writing about how Chainlink saved defi years ago.
Just in the past few weeks Tron switched to Chainlink entirely, and Ripple called Chainlink "the standard".

>>60522044
i should have clarified, my mistake. value measured in anything other than empty words

>>60522078
So the company delivered everything they could (functionality, adoption, institutional hype, ...), but the market failed to delivery speculative gains.
And this is the company's fault. Right?

>>60522078
>I should have narrowed my goalposts

>>60522081
again, my mistake. the only product seeing any real use is a trivial exchange api wrapper and it's only seeing adoption because of token buyer financed subsidies. the rest is just wasted dev expense

>>60522088
>trivial exchange api wrapper
If it's so trivial, then why did most cryptos give up on developing their own after losing hundreds of millions?

>>60522086
kek

>>60514416
kek

>>60522098
they found it's cheaper to let link holders pay for the hosting of the server that pushes exchange data onchain

The truth is link is actually moving fast. A couple of years probably being thought about. Now 7 years in development and finally being rolled out to the biggest customers. Yeah 100 percent agree we didn't get an eth run and it really fucking hurts. I'm waiting for my real life to begin too.

>>60522138
>it's cheaper to let link holders pay
source pls
Compound partnered with Coinbase to build their own oracle, and it was literally one oracle pinging the CB API. Pretty sure switching to Chainlink increased their oracle expenditure 100x.

It is cheaper though in the way that it saves them literally hundreds of millions kek

>>60522152
the company that got hacked last year failed to calculate a median? the target demographic for chainlink price feeds is idiots and / or freeloaders

>>60522177
>the company that got hacked last year
Notice how you're having to fud the likes of Coinbase to try and make Link look bad?

It's not just them btw. Pretty much everyone switched to Chainlink for the same reasons, including OG oracle builders like Maker, Ripple, Oraclize, ...
Even newfangled oracle builders keep shitting the bed, like Pyth, Sui, Shibarium, Tellor, Wormhole, ...

>>60522190
link doesn't need help to look bad, the market values the service less over time, as measured by the decline of the price of the service token

>>60522222
>the market values the service less
It's the opposite, since adoption among market players has only increased with the likes of Ripple and Tron for instance.
Not to mention the increasing interest from tradfi.

Big check though.

>>60522227
service fees have to be paid in link. link is worth less. the service is worth less

>>60522230
The users don't determine the price.
The users determine adoption, and that has increased.
