Anons, this is a SERIOUS thread to discuss the future price of LINK. Pease, refrain from the usual back and forth. There are so many threads in the catalog for that.

OK, so let's start with the positives. Chainlink has been gaining more and more dominance in DeFi. It was also used by JPMorgan, and Visa wrote a report on the potential use of CCIP. The staking pool is likely to increase to 75M soon, and BUILD rewards are coming too.

Now, we will talk about the negatives. For some reason, all the good news has no positive effect on the price of LINK. Sometimes, LINK even dumps on good news. Some of you are going to parrot the same old "IT'S THE DUMPS!" Sure, the increase of the circulating supply is one of the reasons we topped at $31 (around previous marketcap ATH). The argument against that is the existence of other major cryptos that are dumping higher than LINK and still performed well.

The question is, will LINK ever outperform the market? The last 4 years have been so bad for the price of LINK even when the Chainlink project has been in its best. My thesis is that the reason LINK isn't pumping is twofold. One, no hype surrounds it. No one cares about an infrastructure token. The second more pressing reason is the use of the LINK token. It's a payment token for now, and there's no reason for anyone using Chainlink to hoard it. You can pay in anything, really.

So my conclusion is, LINK will never outperform the market unless full staking gets released and nodes lock LINK to attract users and face slashing when reporting faulty data.

>>60558555 (OP)
makes sense

A MAJOR ISSUE IS NOT FORCING THESE SHITCOINS TO ACQUIRE LINK TO PAY FOR THE SERVICES
WHY DO THESE COMPANIES CARE ABOUT PAYING A SMALL PREMIUM? THEY MINT THE COINS THEMSELVES AND CAN BASICALLY ASSIGN ANY VALUE TO THEM. PAYING A SMALL % PREMIUM ON AN IMAGINARY INTERNET FUNNY MONEY TOKEN MEANS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO THEM.
MAJOR, MAJOR BLUNDER (SENSING A THEME HERE?) BY CHAINLINK LABS. THE LINK TOKEN, AND LINK TOKEN ALONE, SHOULD BE REQUIRED FOR SERVICES

>>60558555 (OP)
>will LINK ever outperform the market?
to be honest, its doing a lot better than most alts (which are getting absolutely massacred). its the highest valued token (outside of stablecoins) on any L1 and on pure fundamentals it is doing better than anyone could have expected. there are a LOT of developments since 2022 that have not been priced in at all, it only needs to get a real narrative going and it can repeat 2020 - before taking into account any tokenomics. But the main problem is that the broader crypto space has completely changed into a BTC maxi - Memecoin dichotomy, there is currently no headspace for "fundamental alts" or whatever you would call the joke that is the rest of the altcoin industry. Retail have realized that it is all a sham to pump and dump VC bags and instead went straight to the endgame destination that is memecoins and explicit scams, without even trying to pretend to solve any real problem.
Long story short - it can definitely pump without taking into account tokenomics, but it would require a narrative shift for the broader altcoin ecosystem back into fundamentals, or a so monumental real world event/integration that it can no longer be ignored by the rest of the market.
There is no telling how long this could take, but I think most anons always have expected the SWIFT integration (+ the recent massive implications of the CRE becoming the default bank runtime for interfacing with blockchain) to be the match that lights the tinder. I think we will know a lot more in November.

>>60558823
>I think we will know a lot more in November
DO YOU HONESTLY THINK SWIFT IS GOING LIVE IN PRODUCTION IN NOVEMBER?
SERGEY'S VERBIAGE INDICATES IT'S GOING TO BE EARLY 2026. AND WE ALL KNOW NOT ALL 11500 BANKS ARE GOING TO FLIP THE SWITCH AND GO LIVE AT ONCE. I'M SURE INITIALLY IT'S GOING TO BE A FEW BANKS, A HANDFUL, AND GO LIVE IN A VERY BASIC AND CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT. OVER THE COURSE OF A DECADE, MORE BANKS WILL SWITCH OVER. BUT TO THINK THAT IN NOVEMBER THE ENTIRE SWIFT CONSORTIUM WILL GO LIVE IN PRODUCTION IS PURE FANTASY AND DELUSION

>>60558840
I don't think it has to be so black and white that all banks just one day decide to market buy LINK tokens to transfer all their value.
What is more likely, I think, is that for example JP morgan, the DTCC, Euroclear and Citibank get the green light from SWIFT and stop beating around the bush and reveal the role that LINK actually plays in their digital asset infrastructure/platforms. They have been very coy about "oh we definitely would need to use something like chainlink to perform this function in our system to interact with other parties" without explicitly saying that they are integrating LINK. I think a real announcement and in production transactions using CCIP/CRE would definitely be enough to light a fire under the asses of the laggards in the financial industry which would give the token all the speculative runway it needs to start pumping like 2020 again. Any tokenomic effect from staking 1.0 etc I think will be secondary for a several years.
I sincerely think the recent years of poor price action has mad all anons too jaded to see the positive developments that in my opinion, have become inevitable given regulatory changes and SWIFT officialy moving to production
The only remaining FUD is that crypto itself will just die, but at that point you should be investing in something else entirely

Decent summary. The "you can paying anything" is disingenuous because you're charged an extra 10% which is supposedly used to buy up link, which should increase the price

I guess whether it moons or not is still to be seen, depending on real use. Either way the nightmare should end when they sell the last of their link coffers

For the sake of me and my family, I hope it moons soon

>>60558951
>. The "you can paying anything" is disingenuous because you're charged an extra 10% which is supposedly used to buy up link, which should increase the price
THIS IS THE PROBLEM
SEE MY POST EARLIER IN THE THREAD
YOU SHOULD HAVE TO PAY IN LINK AND ONLY LINK. PERIOD. A 10% PREMIUM IS NOT GOING TO DISSUADE SOME SHITCOIN FACTORY FROM JUST USING THEIR MADE UP CURRENCY TO PAY FOR LINK SERVICES

>>60558922
Maybe, but I think actually having SWIFT and Euroclear officially sponsor this years smartcon signals something else. Directionally, everything is going well. Timing wise, i concede that the whole stituation is pretty fucked. Taking lifestyle profits in 2020/2021 and moving on with the rest of your life was the best play

he's been through a lot, holding LINK in 2025 while XRP is above a 100B marketcap is enough to make anyone unhinged

He knows, it's just a manifestation of his mental illness, and like a lot of mentally ill people: he wishes to spread his illness. Think of him like he acts: akin to bacteria and you'll know how to properly view him.

the funny part is if LINK will ever pump again it probably won't be because of any high level institutional in-production use case but because of something completely retarded like Elon tweeting "Chainlink is cool LINK to the moon!!! xDDD"

>>60558968
BY WHOM? CL LABS' WARCHEST?
MAKE THESE SHITCOINS BUY LINK ON THE OPEN MARKET IF THEY WANT TO USE CHAINLINKS' SERVICES. RIGHT NOW, THEY PAY IN THEIR SHITCOIN, CHAINLINK "SAYS" THEY ARE DOING THE CONVERSION, THEN POCKETING THE FEES FOR THEMSELVES.

The "bullish white man team" is dumping 20 million tokens every quarter. Is your weekly buy of 3 LINK tokens enough to offset it?

Seriously, I wish Chainlink was a public company, I'm sure their company profit is great. They dump millions of worthless tokens on retarded bagholders that they printed out of nothing for hundreds of millions of dollars. The stock would probably be a good buy, can't say the same for the token

Trickle out "de nice bullish partnerships and announcemnts saaar announcement soon sar big partnerships soon saar" to keep the price from crashing to 0, don't dump too fast to spook the market, and keep riding the wave of the Bitcoin/stock/precious metal/everything else bull market, just keeping the chart just barely healthy enough looking that bagholders keep bagholding

it's seriously one of the best scams I've ever seen even better than XRP. People have been bagholding XRP they bought for $2 in 2017 for 8 years and LINK bagholders will do the same and it's glorious

>>60559065
>Seriously, I wish Chainlink was a public company
BROTHER, THE COMPANY IS SHROUDED IN SECRECY AND LACK OF TRANSPARENCY. WHY DO YOU THINK THEY WOULD EVER, EVER, EVER WANT TO PUT OUT PUBLIC DISCLOSURES ON WHAT THEY DO WITH THEIR FUNDING?

Chainlink is grossly overvalued and isn't even necessary for the functioning of its services (Oracles are defacto centralized, considering Chainlink is a permissioned system where not anyone can be a node it is centralized too and thus could be done without a token). The original promise of Chainlink was a big deal, but it never really came to be and it's basically just a protocol backing a couple of oracle companies.

>rejected by the 300 week SMA
>after a "huge partnership"

I don't know how to more clearly spell it out for you

>>60558748
Hi Sirgay.

>>60558808
They don't need to force them to use LINK. They could just apply the Payment Abstraction Layer for all services.

>>60558823
Thanks for the fresh perspective, Anon.

>>60558951
This only applies to CCIP. All other services are paid with "anything." I hope LINK moons too, Anon.

>>60558977
Checked and wouldn't be surprised, kek.

>>60559058
The last time I bought Link was in 2019, but I got your point. Interestingly, LINK pumped most of the time after every dump.

>>60559294
We already had a bullrun and LINk was nowhere near that

>>60558555 (OP)
The whole premise of LINK pumping to insane heights was that tokens locked in staking would create a supply shock.
This hasn't played out, we got staking 0.1 after /biz/ got super loud, then 0.2 we we got loud again for unstaking (and probably following suit after The Merge). Nothing has happened on the staking front for over 4 years, same price feed, same no slashing, nothing.

The real opportunity they've missed is providing an insurance solution for their feeds.
They claim to be locked in-step with the bankers, but they're missing the largest complimenting and more profitable industry (being an insurance provider).

This is what staking should be, they've gone to all the trouble of classifying feeds based on risk level but they haven't wrapped a consumable service or fee around this.
They could be charging an extra percentage or flat fee to provide a service level for data accuracy for particular feed types. Even if it's manual (look at the current shitty implementation of eths alerting), then they can trigger a payout from the staked amount which is proportional to the fee that's charged.

Even if they're worried about potential exploits, they can manually approve specific low, medium and high risk feeds to support insurance against.

I don't know why they refuse to implement these basic services when they could be effectively selling insurance as a service on top of their data feeds.

>>60559271

he's only here to defend Sergey and every CLL decision basically

>>60558555 (OP)
Lots of words but you're ignoring the main reason : alts in general have been performing like crap, the only outliers being those that are shilled by probably paid for crypto influencers.
The performance of LINK has actually been excellant when you compare it to 99.9% of alts, you're missing the big picture by focusing on outliers.

The price will get better if the market generally start pushing alts that seems to have actual good tech and partnerships OR if the LINK system actually create systemic buying and holding pressure through organic usage and staking

>>60560792
LINK pumped on speculation, it did a 500x and is still 100x above it's ICO price

>>60560781
>>60560792
The argument wasn't "full Link staking would be bullish", the argument was "Link can't pump because it has no staking".

If this logic is true, then staking should be THE main source of crypto pumps. Or at least one of the main ones.
So post one major crypto that pumped because of staking.

>>60560811
exactly

>>60560823
ok, how about this, LINK has already pumped from speculation years ago, and now the only thing that will most likely pump it again is actual, real utility

Fine pearls before swine:

Price appreciates for two reasons
Speculation as in most stocks
Actual return on value as in bonds

Almost all of crypto holds a large premium for speculation
There are certainly arguments both for and against that premium, but the premium exists nonetheless

There are two tiers of Link owners:
Those who are staked and get staking+build rewards
Those who are unstaked and get price appreciation only

The only way the former drives price for the latter is through liquid staking protocols, which are currently small

So Chainlink's price action will take place when one of two things happen:

1. Actual value accrual to unstaked link takes place
2. Chainlink gets some of the same speculative premium afforded to other crypto projects

Let's look at both options and when they might take place

>>60561281
BROTHER, MY HOPIUM WAS DEPLETED AGO.
EVERY DAY WE ARE BOMBARDED WITH CL LABS SHILLING THEMSELVES ON TWITTER, SOCIAL MEDIA; PUFFING OUT THEIR CHESTS ON HOW THEY ARE CHANGING THE ENTIRE FINANCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE. BUT AFTER 8 YEARS, WHERE IS THE CHANGE? INSTITUTIONS ARE NOT USING IT AND WE'RE STILL IN THE PILOT/POC PHASE EVEN THOUGH WE WERE TOLD LAST YEAR THAT CL LABS HAS MOVED PAST THAT. THEN THE BAGHOLDERS HAVE TO WITNESS THE 700+ EMPLOYEES LIVING THEIR BEST LIVES ON SOCIAL MEDIA. PARTIES, HAPPY HOURS, SOIREES, PET INSURANCE, ETC. THEN YOU FINALLY REALIZE THAT THE LINK TOKEN, WHICH HAS STILL YET TO HAVE ANY UTILITY, IS JUST A MEANS TO FUND CL LABS' EMPLOYEES EXTRAVAGANT LIFESTYLES.
NYC
SINGAPORE
HONG KONG
BARCELONA
CANNES
TORONTO
ETC
CL LABS HAS NO PULSE ON THE COMMUNITY, WHICH HELPED FUND IT IN THE FIRST PLACE.
EVERY YEAR THERE ARE MORE CARROT DANGLES. WHAT'S THIS NEXT ONE, CCID?
MEANWHILE THERE IS STILL NO ACTUAL VERSION OF STAKING WHICH SECURES THE NETWORK. THE CURRENT POOL, WHICH IS A BANDAID SOLUTION, HASN'T EXPANDED IN YEARS. CAN THEY NOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO ACTUALLY IMPLEMENT THE REAL STAKING, OR IS THERE NO DEMAND FOR THEIR PRODUCTS? CCIP IS A TOTAL BUST YEARS AFTER GENERAL ACCESS DROPPED.
IN THE YEAR 2018+7, NEVER IN ANYONES' NIGHTMARES DID THEY EVER THINK CHAINLINK WOULD STILL BE TRADING AT 13 BUCKS. THIS PROJECT HAS TURNED OUT TO BE A TOTAL CATASTROPHE.

>>60561775
For actual value accrual to unstaked link to take place there must be more demand for link for all of the uses of link than there exist link
Note not all (or even the majority) uses are those through chainlink itself
Eg
- Link held in cold storage off exchanges for those wishing to hold that way
- Link used in trading pairs as liquidity across exchanges
- Link used as deposited liquidity for the various link adjacent protocols that use DEXs in their backends
- Link staked in the official chainlink dapp
- Link held by third party liquid staking protocols
- Link used as collateral for loans/leverage in defi protocols
etc

Obviously releasing full staking where every node would compete for amount of link staked would accomplish this, but would be a misstep if the underlying revenue for node agnostic functions (like CCIP, deco, VRF) was too low to warrant locking up value
As of right now the value of those functions across public chain volumes is not high enough to warrant any meaningful kind of staking
The question that nobody has info on as of yet is what kind of private chain and legacy infrastructure volumes exist and what kinds are coming online in the near future

You will almost certainly not get that information out of anyone on the team who knows it

The good news is that legacy infrastructure value flows are orders of magnitude larger than the crypto ecosystem
All it takes is one killer app across those rails to make generalized staking viable

For example
Always-on low slippage dvp including forex transactions
Highly automated highly granular/modular repo volume
Bank based stablecoins and intra-bank settlement to legacy infrastructure using those stablecoins

Practically the things that need to be in place for those to exist are all there by the end of 2025. After that it's anyone's guess when things kick off.

>>60561830
reread the epic battle of wills between based king QuietSeethe and based king Chainlinkgod on Twitter to further understand the debate anon (literally who even talks like that) its a double plus nuanced situation and you need to kindly inform yourself of the facts before voicing unsourced opinions on serious image boards like 4channel.org

>>60561830
For chainlink to gain a speculative premium similar to other crypto projects I see one of two scenarios being possible

People who consider themselves "smart money" catch on to how deeply Link is being integrated into the backend of everything and start whisper campaigning it to all of their friends

The major hurdle of this is the mentality of that class of people

Put briefly there are three classes of people in crypto

The poors who are chasing a quick pump and fall for the "bankless revolution" taking points
They will of course never do anything really meaningful

The normie "happy wife happy life" middle who have largely had their well poisoned by the early organized fud of reddit and the relative complexity of the project

The already wealthy who understand the predatory mindset of people in the money world and will be immediately skeptical of a project claiming to be a part of Swift, the DTCC and Euroclear's stack. Even when presented with direct evidence of involvement, they won't bite without hard, non-public data. That data will start to be impossible to hide once evey bank backend has access to Link's infra, but it wont be enough to just show that it works, it has to actually have volume and that volume needs to be increasing

Again, this could happen at any time. It's no mistake that smartcon is in NYC this year after CLL being in DC effectively writing the legislation that their clients need to use their infrastructure

But I need to be blunt with the bad news here:
The bad part about buying a project with the from-birth mandate of all the biggest legacy boys is that they genuinely do not give a fuck about you

There's no bulgarian conspiracy and there's no market maker magical suppression, they literally do not give a fuck about the ~2mm link held by anon frogs from this board.

>>60561850
The other possibility for a speculative premium is that the same people who made this board a link board and kept it from the masses decide to turn coat and start shilling it in earnest to all three categories of crypto buyers.
Predicting the actions of the 4chan hivemind is a fools errand, but again in all things there are markets.

The people whining and fudding now are post 2018 buyers who are net flat or negative. But those who bought the ICO are generally low tier wealthy and are patiently waiting to get gigarich. If they start to get uncomfy in their wait anything is possible.

Finally

I'll reiterate what I said above. The people who funded chainlink, have helped with it's development and who are their target customers genuinely don't care about you at all. Calls for value to be returned to the token holders out of the goodness of CLLs heart or because of your devotion to the project fall on deaf ears when you're taking to people who have been building successfully in a highly adversarial environment for the last 8 years. If you want to make something happen on your own timeline then you need to do it. If you want to actually use this infrastructure for any of the myriad of world changing use cases it enables, then put together a team and do it. If you actually walk up to someone from chainlink and pitch them a reasonable idea they will bend over backwards to help you get off the ground.

If you'd rather shitpost and fantasize about the magical paid fud army holding you down, you'll still get rich, but it will be on CLs timeline, not your own.

tl;dr everything's fine, keep hodling, trust the plan, it could pump today, it could take 10 years but whatever you do keep on hodling!11

>>60561879
That is exactly what I'm not saying

Try reading my posts again

Alternatively, here is a synopsis for your low IQ brown brain:

- If you want to wait for a long time, possibly years, for link to go up in price, keep shitposting here
This is what many already-rich anons have decided to do based on their actions

- If you would like the price to go up more quickly either:
1. Start an actually useful project and partner with the team at chainlink
2. Start shilling what chainlink actually is in places other than 4chan and CT

>>60561850
>the ~2mm link held by anon frogs from this board
That figure is imo way conservative. I have 80k staked and didn't even discover this board until around 2019. Your figure implies i own 4% of the total amount of Link in the possession of /biz aware anons. I think that's false. It's way more than 2mm that are held 'here'

>>60561850
They do care that we hold it. They print money out of thin air it's not about getting wealth and power they have it already; it's about keeping thought criminals like us from wealth and power, thousands of wealthy powerful frogs is their worst nightmare

>>60561954

>Start shilling what chainlink actually is in places other than 4chan and CT
so mastercard, swift, dtcc, chainlinkgod, total domination of 4chan and twitter is not good enough for you fuddie?

>Start an actually useful project and partner with the team at chainlink
every single person who has started projects like these gets to work at chainlink instead of following their dreams so why not cut out the middleman (your dreams) and work directly for chainlink?
I hear they are hiring.

I wanted to research a technological standard that achieve total domination without letting VCs create bullshit copies to attempt to create an oracle "nigger gang turf war". A technological standard so based towers went up under the cover of darkness to attain complete societal coverage. No news articles needed. Money was no object. They didnt need a token to fundraise.

On an unrelated note I also want to understand the decisions that lead to quarantine protocols locking down the healthy during COVID. This is the first time a quarantine has done this usually only the sick are affected. Maybe we all are sick, I know you seem mentally unstable based on your incel manifestos you have posted above and also how lockdown has made its way into popular culture to designate some event that requires control.

Its strange that chainlink do not want to learn from the technological standard I mentioned above. I mean total adoption basically overnight and no one at chainlinklabs bats an eye they just keep up with shilling on 4chan posts on twitter. Great strategy.
Maybe its time to learn from the best if you want usage and adoption?

>The people whining and fudding now are post 2018 buyers who are net flat or negative.
COMPLETELY WRONG

>>60561870
>The people whining and fudding now are post 2018 buyers

oh wow, so you mean like 99% of people who own LINK

if it was so stupid to buy LINK after 2018, why were all the early adopters/ICO buyers telling everyone to buy it?

>>60562279
>COMPLETELY WRONG
This is what 8 rupees buys in Q2 2025

>>60558922
>poor price action
Yes
>no institutional adoption
Mastercard and JP Moron dont count then
It's all there. It just seems like nothing will.pump link.

>>60562322
HOW MUCH IS A RUPEE?
1 RUPEE = 1 LINK?

>>60562342
>Mastercard and JP Moron
SERIOUSLY?
WOW YOU CAN BUY CHAINLINK WITH A CREDIT CARD. WHAT A GAME CHANGER!!
AND JP MORGAN DID A SINGLE TEST TRANSACTION ON A TESTNET!
I SAID INSTITUTIONAL ADOPTION YOU DUMB FUCK

>>60561954
Together we would unironically become a menace. But I don't think they take us all that seriously, given what id imagine is a collective lack of experience moving at high levels, and the skills and mentality to follow through.. i feel the suppression is something much more mundane. LINK is simply a threat to the business model of infinite value extraction from the goyim.

>>60562356
You're a disingenuous faggot. And should kys.

>>60562443
I DONT THINK YOU KNOW WHAT THE WORD DISINGENUOUS MEANS BECAUSE IF YOU LOOKED IT UP YOU WOULD REALIZE THAT ITS YOU AND THE REST OF THE PAID SHILLS BEING DISINGENUOUS ABOUT THIS SO CALLED "INSTITUTIONAL ADOPTION"
FUCK OFF, KID

>>60558555 (OP)
i just sold all my link and bought memecoins, the most outlandishly bullish prediction anyone is making for link is like $500 in 2035. most predictions are like $50.

>>60562450
Fix your capslock you attention whoring nobody

>>60562461
MY CAPS LOCK BUTTON IS BROKEN ON MY GATEWAY DESKTOP. MAYBE IF CHAINLINK COULD FUCKING PUMP FOR ONCE I COULD REPLACE MY 2006 VERSION. WHAT WOULD THAT BE LIKE?? TRULY UNTHINKABLE AT THIS POINT
THIS IS AN ANONYMOUS BOARD YOU IMBECILE. EVERY ONE IS A NOBODY. GO BACK

This one is trying to fade previous posts in a clumsy way. Can't blame him for trying.
Every week now is full of verification. This Summer is shaping up. Good times.

Daily reminder 5G powers more than chainlink could ever hope to achieve
A real technology standard
The one they ban you for mentioning in the discord
5G is the technology anons should have invested in
Chainlink is the deception. 5G was the real deal
Fuck crypto I want to invest in the companies that put up those 5G towers the ones that give everyone covid cancer like

>>60562470
Yawn

>2019 latefag
my sincere condolences

>>60559271
Hmm $71 and 71 digits. It's not 1k but I'll take it

It seems like people like Saylor and Musk are puppets to fuck with the crypto market and hide/suppress the actual development and innovation happening.
There was some Ari Juels cryptic post here years ago something about Hibbisus meeting his watery grave and link mooning. I wonder if it could be referencing Saylor getting rugged

>>60563815
>2019 latefag
Yeh, I was also in since the ICO. We don't all need to outsource our critical thinking to this forum.

>>60563865
sure thing

>>60563849
Think he was speaking of "hippocrates" meeting his watery grave, but yeah Saylor rugging is the next crypto crash. Probably final nail in king shitcoins coffin

>>60563873
It was Hippasus. That post stuck with me for some reason. I think it was
On the eve of Hippasus' watery demise, chain link will be in the skies

>>60563889
>spamming the same delphi psyop shit years later
have sexo

the chainlink cult is in utter disarray

look at all these desperation writeups by guys like >>60562143 this

chainlink could shit on his face and he'd put together an essay on why that's a good thing long term

>>>60561915
>duuuuuude just start your own coin

bahahahahahahaha

it's been great watching you guys get humbled

your hubris was your downfall

>>60564297
Adem, real talk. Do you think you'll ever get over LINK?

>>60564568
how much are you down

if youd like i'll calc for you, just lmk how many coins

>>60561780
>WHAT'S THIS NEXT ONE, CCID?
Fucking kek

>>60565053
HOLY SHIT THIS THREAD IS STILL UP? I FORGOT I MADE THAT POST
LOOKS LIKE THE CL LABS TEAM IS ON ANOTHER VACATION IN CANNES, FRANCE RIGHT NOW. BIG SERG GIVING A PRESENTATION WHERE HE DANGLES A FEW MORE BUZZWORDS AND MAKES UP MORE ACRONYMS TO KEEP THE DONATORS ON THE HOOK FOR ANOTHER FEW YEARS

>>60561944
It's an established fact that in 2020 at the height of LINK, the average anon had 1k LINK, the suicide stack, if they held LINK at all.

Being able to put almost 100k in crypto is an oddity, most of us played with pocket money back then

>>60565053
kek, i'm watching the new serger vidya and the milisecond he mentions ccid for the first time at 25m is when i refreshed page and you had picrel boldly outlined.

>>60565106
Link to it? I just saw the xoast on xitter and kek'd out loud.
Honestly it was bound to happen, they kept talking about identity, but in this context it's still pretty funny.

This is made up nonsense, you're hoping to pass-off as truthful. This place was buzzing with high BTC holders. Many of us saw the light and switched. We also staked from v0.1, graduated to v0.2, claimed and staked our SXT rewards and are patiently waiting on the inevitable.
Sorry (not sorry) if you missed the boat. Have another rupee. You deserve it.

I haven’t posted to this board in years. In 2021 I started a company and raised VC money then the company failed last month, out of business. I’ll reflect a moment here: I think if there is one more sell off to say link = $3 that would be the hopeless of hopelessness. Right now alts have proven to be utterly hopeless but everyone including myself forgot one powerful thing, bitcoin dominance. It could even get up to 70%. Until the bitcoin dominance chart shows bearish signals I’m convinced alts will continue getting destroyed. If link touches $3 it’s safe to say there will be zero hope. From there I would expect link to go to $180 within 12 months. In a similar way, the stock commodity ratio is at utterly hopeless lows. I think we’re about to see massive rotations into commodities from stocks and into alts from btc. The only thing I see triggering this run is simply how much profit has been made in stocks + bitcoin compared to where everything else is at. Why hold an sp500 at $6240 when silver is $35? Why hold a $110,000 btc if eth is <1000 ? In commodities it’s said high prices cause low prices, the reverse is true, when bitcoin dominance breaks a massive run is going to be launched in alts. I wish my company could have been around for it

>>60566012
>my company failed last month
what a shocker. you sound like a great leader.

>>60561780
We've known about CCID since last week, and you are in every thread so don't pretend you guessed it

>>60566012
That's not good, Anon. I hope you're not right.

>>60566065
I NEVER SAID I DID YOU STUPID FUCK
HAVE TROUBLE READING? BOY YOU 3RD WORLD SHILLS NEED A FEW MORE ESL CLASSES!

>>60566087
You're right, people in this thread like >>60565053 are acting like you came up with it lmao

>>60566102
NO WORRIES, DUDE

redpill me on link

>>60566180
It's a cursed token.

>>60566180
the ceo will leave in 5 years tops. he'll say the company is in great hands and all the other bullshit, but everyone knows it will be over. he'll likely be killed at that point, but that will only increase the token price marginally

1000 cents eoy

>>60560823
This is definitely fish. I can tell by how shit and tortured your logic is.

>>60566863
DUDE IS, BAR NONE, THE MOST PATHETIC INDIVIDUAL IN THE CHAINLINK COMMUNITY.
IT IS FUNNY HOWEVER HOW HE RANTS AND RAVES LIKE A LUNATIC ABOUT XRP. THAT PROJECT IS ON HIS MIND 24/7

Im scared to collect the build rewards (us based) and get my wallet blacklisted or something retarded like that because I used a VPN. Anyone else in similar situation? Idk what to do. Don't want to miss out on the free tokens, but definitely dont want to fuck over my staked link

>>60565756
haha good one anon zing!

>>60558555 (OP)
Why?

>>60566863
The tortured logic is you moving the goalposts.
Not the people debunking your goalpost moves.

it's going to $100 just take it as it is
