>>60670760 (OP)Version 1 requires that the money made from jobs has to be high enough that it provides incentive for nodes to even want to stake, and also entities that are doing jobs that are both high enough in value and of enough importance (ie not swapping shitcoins around) that they will require collateral to insure their usage of the network. Its a chicken and egg scenario that chainlink appears to have solved by subsidizing the network up to this point, and the assumption would be that swift's usage will be the inflection point where staking will be both viable and required by the institutions that use the network.
All that's to say, probably by EOY assuming November is when everything has to switch over. But who fucking knows. I've never seen any legitimate fud for staking though (version 1 real staking anyways), other than that it'll never be feasible or required. So if it does happen, that's the point where you stop caring about sats and just stack link.
