YET there is a campaign that is obviously organized and paid as they repeat the same images and talking points.

They participants that are doing it don't even hide it they use repetition to try and brow beat. Lol

People do lurk on here although the traffic has dropped drastically. I guess they don't want positive discussion of LINK on here to go unfettered with no push back. Human attention is easily one of the most valuable resources on the planet.

The autistic enthusiasm holders on here have for Chainlink and its future is contagious. Someone doesn't want that leaking out into the more mainstream social media and consciousness.

So the FUD is aggressive to cast demoralization and doubt to combat the meme magic that naturally surrounds the token.

Meanwhile many of us know Chainlink will be an integral part in powering The 4th Industrial Revolution. Its not if but when.

Ironically /biz/ must have been too powerful because they purposely enacted multiple measures to kill the traffic and effort posting.

Their propaganda wouldn't be necessary if the truth wasn't being posted here. In the end the bad actors validate what we know to be true by their efforts to silence it.

That's kinda hilarious considering it's the "punchers" who are either posting obviously paid ESL spam (Thankfully I don't own this token saar), or getting extremely bent out of shape and filling threads with 30-40 seething effortposts for days on end.

Link is an investment, not an obscure band to be a hipster about.
Money is money, dumb or smart.
Just look at Link these past few years; supposedly no dumb money, but still sank like a fucking rock every time Bitcoin sneezed.

XRP suffers the same issue and people still buy it plenty, not here anyways but its shilled constantly on twitter, by youtubers/influencers etc. Link shilling is actually pathetic, people complain about the organic attention it garners here but in the usual places, for how high marketcap it is and how important it is to the entire space, it has marginal shilling, nothing close to an ADA or XRP. And yes, the fud spam on this board has helped convince newfags that they are too late for link.

Thing is, some of it (we'll never know exactly what percentage) is just bitter linkies that want to make sure people they perceive as "less than" never own a large amount of link. I've seen posters admit multiple times over the years, during brief link-only pumps that they mistook for "the one", that they were behind a lot of the fud and their only goal was to keep out as many reddit types as possible.

Just think about this for a second, suicide/makeit has always been 1k/10k. At this point, there's a real possibility bitcoin's floor becomes 100k (if this cycle is extended like some believe), with less of a blowoff and less of a crash. This means link's floor could realistically have risen from 5 to 12-15 dollar range. If that is the case, it means unless you are actively trading to increase your capital (in which case you wouldn't need to rely on a long term investment anyways if you were that good of a trader), newfags are not only priced out of a makeit stack for good save for throwing in an inheritance or something (nobody just has 130-150k lying around to invest, especially not in crypto that isn't named bitcoin, without already being rich), but many, many of them are priced out of even suicide stacks, as many poorfags start out with sub 4 figure poorfolios, and consider mid 4 figures to be their first real success.

Fuck, the average normal fag doesn't even have over 5 figures in investments before their mid 30's. As poorly as link's price action has felt, it is still keeping up with the market just enough to price out anyone new from accumulating a significant amount. While simultaneously staying low enough that all but the earliest and most committed investors still are a 10x or more away from making it. Almost insidious.

Is this reverse psychology? I've been thinking for a while and it all makes sense in retrospect, it all started with Zeus Capital and if you actually "fell" for the FUD you'd have been selling pretty close to the ETH/BTC top (assuming you didn't leave crypto forever) but of course you wouldn't do that would you, why sell the "Xth industrial revolution" because of some literal who FUD, and that's exactly what made it so effective, making you feel like you are holding the key to the next gold rush otherwise WHY would someone go through the trouble of fudding this asset so hard RIGHT? I actually take pride in my ability to spot bullshit but this is the one psy op I fell for, congratulations for whoever thought of it I guess, well played.

Of course there was fudding before Zeus but it was all fun and games, like the Sibos toilets or radio silence from the team, or maybe that too was intentionally done so it gives you even bigger conviction for the future if you actually held through the early FUD.

Honestly even if I could tell my 2020 self all of this, had I not known the outcome I would have probably still held simply because I figured LINK would go higher on speculation alone, say at least close to 100 but not quite there (the 1000 eoy shit was always nonsense)

8 years later and it's insane this hasn't moved anywhere, and I'm not talking just about the token price but the overall discourse. Same us vs them shit, same carrots on stick trust in the next major feature bro, everything is the same it's actually depressing. And me typing all of this is probably even more depressing, who the fuck is gonna read it, bots or zealots that still hold that might as well be bots? I hope whoever thought of this shit does get to read this, once again I congratulate you for the play I can't even be mad...

You're overthinking it, the reality is being early feels like being wrong and that's all it really is. Everything in crypto, since bitcoin and eth with smart contracts, to this point, is like the preseason. It feels good when you get a win, but nothing really counts, nobody's playing for keeps. And yeah, preseason is seemingly going on forever, although you could argue market fuckery (ftx/solana casinos and vc grifters) have helped to extend this, causing tradfi to be extra cautious with even stepping its toes in.

When blockchain technology becomes mainstream, and its a when at this point, not if, that's when the season actually begins. Chainlink has approached this like a championship contender, that understands the preseason is meaningless, they aren't trying to pump the token or court retail because they know ultimately these things don't matter for where the industry is headed. But as we've had nothing but preseason the past 7/8 years, it is driving the retail stuck waiting, stir crazy.

Crypto is still a very small pond that hasn't become fully connected to the ocean of traditional finance.

>they aren't trying to pump the token

Who's they? The team, the whales, the market makers? Like I said everything is the same including the excuses for why nothing happens, it's always a big baddie doing voodoo shit behind the scenes and / or just 2 more weeks trust the plan and if you sell you are a retard for "being shaken out" yet here I am, "shaken out" almost for 1 year now and xcept missing that $30 top nothing happened, I can buy back in right now for lower despite BTC being in a fully fledged bull run. Can't even call this missing a potential top, had I held like a fanatic all the way until now I wouldn't have sold at fucking 30 after 8 years when the 2021 top was 50.

>or court retail

See this isn't even trying to hold a fair discourse, feels like pure bad faith misdirection nonsense or flat out lying and anyone that saw their marketing in the past few years can tell this instantly. The retail not needed hook worked until 2021-2022 I'd say (maybe even earlier if you were stricter) but after the Lex Friedman show-up and worse, the Eric Schmidt smartcon, it slowly (and then all of the sudden) became obvious who the cashcow was all along.

Maybe you are not just a paid shill doing damage control and you might be under the mistaken assumption that I gave up because of the price action, but the next time you want to compare LINK's price action and chart to some dot com bubble survivor and draw parallels to Amazon, I must point to the obvious and say any example you can come up with had a working, revenue producing product that wasn't in a market where a fart or a dead squirrel was worth 2 bil or something as insane as Pi being higher in mcap right when Sergey was in the White House next to Trump.

It's all a joke and if I am wrong about all of this I won't even be mad if things start taking off without me, I will once again say well played to whoever orchestrated this madhouse, it would be just like the Zeus FUD but 100 times the scale.

it's a mixed bag. You have frustrated shitposters, bored anons, neurotics who lost it all (adem the king of cucks), pyth and supra employees, etc. If anything, propaganda is directed on X and are a reason why XRP has so much staying power despite being utterly useless. Yes, Chainlink and some other crypto funny monies are a club. Buy meme coins, ditch utility, park all your cash in bitcoin. Fomo will occur, relatively soon for obvious reasons.

>Who's they?
Anybody in this scammy market that would actually bother to pump a token. Do you ever ask why things pump in the first place? The answer is so somebody else can sell it at a higher price, most of the time. Bitcoin had a novel usecase as the first, and now is positioning itself as something of a hedge for boomers but nothing more than that. Eth was technically the first utility project, being necessary to transact on its blockchain, but the limitations of being stuck to its blockchain (and the scaling problem) meant that was always going to be dead in the water for mainstream use. Chainlink is the connector, and everything that's come along since ETH besides link is just trying to win the shell game being played in this space.

Also nobody is begging you to buy back in, no jeets here, I could care less. Maybe you very well could time it perfectly and reenter at just the right time, if link is the winner of the oracle race. Maybe it dies out and crypto doesn't actually catch on as a new technology (unlikely with all the information we have now but certainly possible). Maybe chainlink runs out of runway and a competitor usurps them in 5 or so years. The reason you can buy low now is because all of these are possbilities, none are certainties, and the reason it doesn't just pump out of nowhere is because nobody wants to sell large amounts of it (contrary to what fuddies like to claim, if Sergey actually had ambitions to make selling link his claim to fame he'd have worked with market makers and used what capital he had to pump the token himself, attracting hordes of retail to dump on, similar to other projects like XRP/ADA).

Continued response in next post.

It's all relative, and I'm not doing damage control, chainlink's price action has been absolute dogshit. I'm just taking a birds eye view of the market. Yes chainlink hasn't been entirely ignorant of retail, but compared to every other project anywhere near it in marketcap, the approach isn't even close to the same. Others have entire marketing departments dedicated to retail, everything is focused on convincing people the project will make you rich, I have had normalfags who know absolutely nothing about crypto approach me and try to convince me they discovered the next big thing in XRP. This doesn't happen with link, while it hasn't entirely ignored retail, its not at all where the focus lay and its plainly obvious. Its not hard at all to bot a fucking youtube video up to 100k views if you wanted to shill to retail and yet chainlink can barely get many of their videos to 5k views, why do you think that is? Because they aren't trying to get retail. They're perfectly happy to have retail buy the token, it helps them, but its not their goal or even necessary.

Also the fact that people on this basket weaving forum are so insanely desperate to convince you that link is the biggest retail based scam of them all is a tell, remember the best advice, never trust /biz/. That includes me, so definitely think for yourself on this one, but logically what you're proposing doesn't make sense.

I'll have to admit if the purpose of LINK was to simply dump on retail there was no need for the scheme to run this long, behave the way it did and more importantly hire 700+ people or however many into the team but only if you look at Sergey and co. as small time scammers. If you wanted the grift to be world-class, you'd target both retail and institutions alike, playing a far longer and sinister game. Not saying I believe that's what they are doing, ironically enough I still can't decide if the project was one massive (but elaborate) scam or simply a good actor that's destined to fail because everyone else is stupid or evil, I'm just tired iregardless of what the truth is.

>the fact that people on this basket weaving forum are so insanely desperate to convince you that link is the biggest retail based scam of them all is a tell

Like I already said, it could be reverse psychology because frankly if the fudders are legitimate and really want everyone out of LINK then their effect is the exact opposite, just like Zeus (seriously can you think of a single 2017-2018 oldfag fall for that? it's why I think it was a brilliant) this is where my schizo senses start thinking that maybe even the fudders are on the payroll. It is a very backwards way of looking at things but everybody lies.

>but logically what you're proposing doesn't make sense.

If I had to guess, the entire purpose of crypto was to a) another tool to keep inflation at bay by removing fiat out of circulation and b) crash it all to 0 (by crypto standards at least) in some "black swan" Saylor scheme or something like whoops suddenly something is wrong with BTCs security, wouldn't it suck if everyone was balls deep in it now because it performed so good?

You bring up some solid points. All the other high market cap alts are basically doing everything in their power to appeal to retail while Chainlink does virtually nothing to do so.

Meanwhile Chainlink has a suite of professional grade tools that work seamlessly and virtually without error that no one uses mainly because the market participants (institutions) the tools are engineered for have not really entered the industry yet in a meaningful way.

Price feeds to get a lot of use though and DEFI for the most part wouldn't exist without them.

Meanwhile you have near vaporware in the top 10 still that ranges from doing basically nothing (ADA) to rather limited functionality (XRP) yet they shill to retail as if their lives depend on it because perhaps they do.

Also adding your point about not only the intentional lack of marketing to retail by the Chainlink team but the obvious organized counter-marketing efforts really makes one think.

Why would there be such a heavy anti-marketing/FUD presence against retail buyers for a project that literally doesn't cater to retail buyers in any way to begin with?

Why is there virtually no FUD for the projects with a much higher MCAP that spend countless amounts of dollars to court retail?

I think I understand the possible reasoning but its a thought exercise that should be worked through.

I understand where you're going with your thoughts anon, I still don't think it makes any sense though because there's no way they couldn't have squeezed more money out of both retail and institutions with link than what they did.

I mean link's marketcap is literally 10-20x below XRP's at any given time, in what world can that be a success for a grift in a market composed almost entirely of grifts, unless the institutional money they're receiving is orders of magnitude larger than anything anyone could have perceived? And if that's the case, how in the world are they laundering all of that, and managing to keep it all completely hidden while every other grift in crypto ends up falling apart within 3-4 years, including the ones actually headed by (((them))) ala SBF actually put in prison?

To me, and I'm not accusing you personally of this because I understand you're just trying to cover all bases, but this feels like the sign tapping on /pol/, where you just swallow every blackpill you can and assume anything good that ever happens was always part of the plan and a psyop all along. I just can't accept that pessimistic of a world view, but if you or others do, I know there's not much one can say that will convince you otherwise, nor would I want to.

I do have to push back a little bit on the fud angle, in that while I wouldn't say none of it is paid or bad actors, I think some underestimate just how autistically determined some of the losers are on this website.

If you ever spent any amount of time on /v/, you know about shazaam posters. Do you really think they're paid, or have a financial interest? I would highly doubt it with their level of persistence. Or going back a generation, even just console war fags who will dedicated all their free time to arguing why playstation or x-box or superior.

To autists who actually do have a financial interest in the thing they're discussing, why wouldn't they have the same sort of insane persistence and dedication that they do in other subjects, now that money's on the line? And so you get the same sort of trolling here, all because the average 4chan poster's greatest fear is having his hobbies taken over by normalfags/redditors.

Yeah, I still believe the majority of the fud is just linkies that are either bored, hate others they perceive beneath them/unworthy of holding link, or fudding to extract information out of gigabrains.

All of 2024 until now feels orders of magnitude worse than both the 2018 and 2022 bear markets. In 2018 I was too green to care while LINK itself went through its best period, it was the year I had the most fun with (mostly because of the memes and these threads) and while 2022 was worse, it still had its silver lining, I figured the shit price action in 2021 coupled with the extended bear (cause 2023 was awful too) was the so called final shakeout until the supposed singularity, yet I make it unscathed to 2024 and all I get is a $22 top to show for it while levels of clownery that were unthinkable before were happening left right and center.

So with all this in retrospect, does this count as "good things happening"? I know it all sounds like /pol/ tier blackpills but at the same time I don't want to end up a drolling zombie akin to XRP bagholders still waiting for that magical EOY number (whichever that is). You don't have to convince me of anything by the way, I'm just in disbelief how did things turn out the way they did.

Thanks anon and I'm not trying to believe me. I don't think you and I are that far apart in our line of thinking actually, other than you have actually sold and I haven't. I don't look at link as a sure thing, its more like a lottery ticket that I don't want to throw away while I focus my endeavors elsewhere.

What I will say though is that while this cycle has definitely been underwhelming and demoralizing, hasn't the entirety of crypto been? I'd actually argue 2021 felt worse watching utter scams run past link. This cycle link's basically been stagnant, ranging between rank 10-20, no major moves, and a couple projects had some success like solana very early, and some memes made some numbers, but overall its been mostly dead with only bitcoin doing much of anything. And the thesis to me for link to separate from the market always included a period where the scams slowly die off, which appears to be happening now.

I don't sit around expecting a pump anymore. But I'm also not so demoralized that I couldn't envision it happening either. It just feels like a good spot to be in, although if you're an anon still struggling waging (I mostly wfh) and unsure about your future, I could see how this period could be a lot more nerve wracking (not you but I'm sure other anons are in that position). I can't lie, there was a point 4 or 5 years ago I thought I was on the verge of retirement, but I don't care about that anymore. If anyone could reliably predict markets and price action, they'd be a trillionaire due to compounding gains. All you can really do is pick what you perceive to be a winner, and wait until it either wins or loses.

Chain link themselves suppress the price in order to make long term adoption and success more viable. It won't get a crazy retail pump again until all the cogs are in motion and there is genuine real world use. Might be next year, might be in 5 years.
