SOMETHING DOESN'T ADD UP. A REAL HEAD- SCRATCHER.
WHERE IS THE TRANSPARENCY BY CL LABS? HAVE THEY ALREADY EXHAUSTED THEIR 30% TOKEN SALE ALLOCATION AND NOW SEE IT FIT TO DIP INTO THE NODE OPERATORS' 35% STAKE? OR ARE THEY COMINGLING TOKENS AND ESSENTIALLY ARE TAKING 65% FOR THEMSELVES TO FUND THEIR BLOATED, NON-SUSTAINABLE COMPANY? 700+ EMPLOYEES AND HIRING. ARE NODE OPERATORS STILL UNABLE TO SUSTAIN THEMSELVES AFTER 6+ YEARS ON MAINNET? WHY ARE THESE QUESTIONS NOT BEING ASKED TO SERGEY AND THE REST OF THE CL LABS TEAM?
WHERE IS THE TRANSPARENCY ON HOW CL LABS USES THEIR TOKENS? TRUTH>>>TRUST

something is stinky with chainlink

>>60530331 (OP)
Wasn't it around 70M per year, meaning full dillution around 2030?

>>60530331 (OP)

>manual ICO distribution

it was obvious from the start

>>60530331 (OP)
This is actually concerning. If chainlink is profitable, which I very much doubt that they are, they will need to continue dipping into the reserves.
Also, why haven’t they opened up the network to allow anyone to run a node and earn income? My theory is that they haven’t worked out how nodes should reach consensus on the data.
It’s been almost 8 years. If any anons know the reason for this, please share!?

CLL have been paying nodes since 2019.

>>60530377
i don't know the reason because i don't care about whatever chainlink is or does, but i do know about start ups not delivering the things they said they would in a timely fashion: 8 years is rdiculous, don't waste your time. that's star citizen or nikola tier

Uh oh stinkies.
Sirgay is dumping again on Binance.
just buy the dip like the good cucks you are

>>60530377
Check. I'm actually very concerned.

>>60530331 (OP)
Isn’t this how they have subsidised the node operators with all the tokens being put through Binance first? Otherwise there is 0 evidence of any subsidisation which is obviously happening

>>60530331 (OP)
The number of tokens is sufficient to ensure that it never increases much compared to the current market capitalization. Do you realize what 1 billion tokens represents in the end ? is not made to reach astronomical sums, it is for institutions.

>>60530331 (OP)
brother, LINK currently sits at a 6.2 year low against BTC, it's unironically time to let it go
move on, stop posting about this utter failure, stop giving (You)s to paid shills, it is EXACTLY what they want and expect from you, positive sentiment has been completely destroyed and the only thing they have left is spamming this god forsaken board to death with a million threads, seeking to keep LINK relevant
just stop giving them what they want anon

>>60530929
buy high, sell low

>>60530939
there is no bottom, next stop is 8k sats

>>60530790
i think it's safe to say we're all fearful, uncertain, and doubtful about the future of Chainlink

>>60530968
Indeed my fellow marine, I even might unstake and sell my ChainLink tokens from the ChainLink token pool.

>retards finally start to realise that people saying ChainLink is a scam weren't lying to them or trying to "FUD"
Kek how embarrassing. Just die with your shitbags at this point.

just bought 450 chainlink ticker links. totes ready to go

we all own link. if you know about link you literally have no reason to not hold some link, most fuddies are probably link marines that bought at $50 and remained baggies all these years and they're foaming at the mouth when they see people discover link and want to buy at atl.

>>60533621

Lmao, begging for attention from other men on the internet is extremely faggy behavior. That's before you even factor in that you're paid pennies to spam a dead board with fud all day, largely being ignored outside the same small handful of people that consider you to be nothing more than brown garbage while you project onto them about being a paid actor.

TOURETTES GUY IS THAT YOU?
BOB SAGET!!!!

chainlink’s original pie chart (1b link minted back in ’17) was **35%** earmarked for node incentives, **35%** dumped into the ico, and **30%** retained by smartcontract/chainlink labs for “development.” fast‑forward—those node‑incentive tokens never left a multisig ultimately steered by cl labs. on‑chain sleuths have watched the same wallets dribble link to cexes whenever payroll + marketing burns get spicy. functionally, that means the lab can tap **65%** of the float whenever they feel “strategic,” because the node war‑chest still sits under their thumb. yes, that’s commingling in everything but name.

why the subterfuge? because economics: node ops still bleed money. feeds pay out peanuts (single‑digit bips per tx) and off‑chain reporting slashed hardware costs but not to zero. after six years, only the giga‑nodes (ppllike chainlink‑automation, chainlayer, figment, etc.) keep lights on, and they do it with otc link stipends from the mother‑ship. the long tail either volunteers or runs at a loss waiting for “hyper‑scale” that, idk, keeps getting punted to next quarter with staking v0.2 narratives.

meanwhile cl labs sprouted to \~700 heads bc they’re a quasi‑saas shop now—ccip, data streams, tx abstraction, the whole modular‑rollup buffet. growth curve looks vc‑style, but the revenue curve? shrug emoji. so tokens = op‑ex. when the treasury address cold‑swaps 5‑10m link to kraken every month, that’s salaries + cloud bills, not altruistic node farming.

* the 35% “node reserve” was never truly ring‑fenced; it’s dev treasury part2.
* node operators aren’t self‑sustaining and probably won’t be until fees eclipse chainlink’s own subsidies—no line‑of‑sight rn.
* cl labs disclosures are minimal on purpose; admitting the above torpedoes the “decentralized oracle network” ethos.

>>60536813
>functionally, that means the lab can tap **65%** of the float whenever they feel “strategic,”
SO BASICALLY THEY MISLEAD EVERYONE DURING THE TOKEN SALE WITH THAT BULLSHIT PIE CHART SAYING THEY WOULD ONLY DUMP 300 MILLION, NOT 650 MILLION
SUCH A SHADY ENTERPRISE. TRUTH>>TRUST, RIGHT MARINES?

does it really matter though? in the end they are selling worthless tokens that cost them nothing. if they ever run out, they'll just create a new one, which will be celebrated by retail idiots as a way to get in cheap again

CLL have been paying nodes with Link for six years non stop now.
What the absolute fuck are you retards on about

>>60536997
SO WHAT YOUR SAYING IS THAT THE CHAINLINK NETWORK IS AN ABJECT FAILURE THAT IS INCAPABLE OF SUSTAINING ITSELF AFTER 6+ YEARS ON MAINNET?
WHAT ABOUT ALL THAT SUPER SECRET OFF CHAIN REVENUE THAT THE PAID TWITTER SHILLS CLAMOR ON AND ON ABOUT?

Hours and hours spent posting on this board.
Still no decent memes.

>>60537759
*poof* go the goalposts

>>60537759
Also, Bitcoin has been on mainnet for 16 years and is still not self sustaining, being 97% subsidized.

>>60537831
Don't argue with the browns. Just post memes.

>>60534995
he forgot the payment abstraction layer argument. Did 0 aswel

>>60537831
WHAT A DUMB COMPARISON. REALLY, SO DUMB
THE PURPOSE OF BTC ISNT TO ENRICH ITS FOUNDERS AS IS THE CASE WITH CHAINLINK.

>>60537996
There go the goalposts again.

How much are you making to post on here?

>>60538007
I DONT THINK YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT GOALPOST MOVING IS, ANON. ITS OK, YOU'LL GET THERE.
I DO THIS FOR THE LOVE OF CHAINLINK, NOTHING MORE

>>60538019
First you moved from "tokens for the nodes are being dumped" to "network not self sustaining".

Then you moved from "network not self sustaining" to "enriching founders".

So how much is your pay here?

>>60538031
MY GOD ARE YOU THAT OBTUSE? MY POINT IS THAT CL LABS HAS CONTROL OF 650 MILLION TOKENS TO WHAT THEY PLEASE WITH. WHICH IS 350 MILLION MORE THAN THEY LEAD EVERY ONE TO BELIEVE AT THE OUTSET. IN 2017, IT WAS UNDERSTOOD THAT THEY HAVE 300 MILLION TOKENS, FINE. NOT 650 MILLION.
IM NOT PAID TO BE HERE. UNLIKE THE SHILLS ON THE PAYROLL
