It gets even better, on January 12 2021, there was $2 billion of LINK traded. On January 12 2024, there was $592 million of LINK traded. So you've not only managed to be worth less than 3 years ago, it's not even close to being as actively traded. Your staking psyop is clearly not working, who cares about 4% when Wealthfront is paying 5% and it's FDIC insured. Clearly, Sergey is faltering. Now let's get to the fun part, the historical comparison!

It is confirmed that Sergey pays evangelists on here, twitter, and Discord. There are hardly any of the 2018-era LINK memes on /biz/ still. All of the OG's vanished. If you're still holding LINK, instead of literally any other crypto even a fucking stablecoin, you are a cult member

Let's play another game, shall we? Since Chainlink shills often try to downplay the opportunity cost of being all in Chainlink, allow me to illustrate how much Sergey has stolen from his cult. Imagine you had $100,000 in LINK as a marine a few years ago.

You are clinically retarded if you believe anything that comes out of /biz/ mouth, or the "LINK marines". Look at the opportunity cost in real time, would you rather have your $100,000 still? Or millions of dollars? We will never see a bull run like that again. Couldn't happen to a better group of pseudo-intellectuals

And you're actually defending him? You still fell for the staking crap? What's 4% of a shrinking asset? Where are your BUILD tokens? Why isn't CCIP out? How come Sergey gave up on "enterprise abstraction", is it because he has no enterprises lined up? This token went from $1000 EOY to $14 and outperformed by the broad crypto markets. The constant shilling just screams "BLAH BLAH I CAN'T HEAR YOU" over and over. Look in the mirror, Sergey fucked you over.

as it is now. Cuck bagholders literally can't refute this and it's amazing

4% a year will never get back your opportunities to 100x. The definition of a smart con is slow rugging. Let me pay you 4% of this worthless token over a long period of time, rather than dumping all of these team wallets at once. Meanwhile, MATIC has gone almost 100x without SWIFT, an overhyped vaporware protocol, or Eric Schmidt the has been

Lots of demand for staking huh marines?

It literally just lives and dies with BTC. LINK will always be a shitcoin controlled by big daddy, anyone thinking it's going to $100 must think BTC will reach $150k. If BTC crabs at $40k, LINK will crab at $18. It is written in stone, screencap this

Imagine trying to run a smart contract economy and you're tethered to what BTC whales decide

Reminder that holding Chainlink since 2020 has been the worst move in crypto. Slightly better than using FTX, Bancor, Celsius, but hey Chainlink shills pushed those scams too. Smartcon seems to be going well, marines! 15 more years!

Interoperability. This is being created by a consortium of Japanese mega banks and investment arms. No Chainlink needed for any of this. The point is, if you're hanging your hat on $1000 EOY still, realize Chainlink is just 1 of 10000 solutions that will be floating out there. Yes, blockchain is inevitable. No, Chainlink is not going to $20 or $100. It offers nothing any more special than another company's interoperability systems
