Could not have said it better. Any third world warehouse that could put out the God tier LINK golden-era memes would be the absolute kings of crypto memetics and would be world famous by now.

I would use the whole 777 for 876:
>https://www.gematrix.org/?word=876

>Rising of the Phoenix
>Eternal Light Ray
>Boots on the Ground
>God of Heaven

Does anyone else feel like they're in the desert, being tested by God? An ongoing test of conviction and faith? And coming to understand that the small little core of conviction in your heart, can never be undermined or taken away?

They are fudding him exactly for the reasons you laid out in your first sentence.
Do you think you can be a world changing visionary and not attract a few haters along the way?

We were lucky:
>lucky to be on /biz/ when everyone else was on bitcointalk
>lucky to be here at the right time (2017)
>lucky that 2017 was a long bull when you could make gains even as an ignorant gambling retard, which is the most dangerous and precipitous time to be an investor
>lucky to have a group of people willing to do the work to go breadcrumbing, summarizing, shill pasta-ing, for no monetary or even clout rewards, purely to feed into a niche group of anons
>lucky to get into the presale pools that we overfilled without getting rugged
>lucky to have a group of anons through that whole critical early period who would argue, debate and answer questions, fast tracking our understanding of the magnitude and significance of the oracle problem
>lucky that Chainlink launched at a time when ICOs allowed full public entry, and when big projects launched at reasonable caps to make gains ($100m. These days LINK would have launched at a cap >$1b)

We were extremely lucky to exist at a crucial nexus in time when public access to these products was even possible at very early stage (compare to today's endless seed rounds before opening to the public at massive valuations) and when the VCs didn't have their claws in absolutely everything.
Yes, to be here now with 7,000 LINK staked you also had to be smart, patient, and exercise extremely good judgment and low time preference through many crazy events, but on top of that, anon, we are all very lucky to be here.

It's something I've been thinking about a lot since the Coinbase L2 announcement. Something you just get tiny whiffs of, like in the BIS document about cross-CBDC communication where it talks about "regulator nodes".
They are going to keep applying pressure to crypto, insofar as it represents the open source, idealistic version of Web3 and DLT based systems.
Then they will launch their own take on Web3, they're building it right now. And all the institutional liquidity, and all the r/technology smug skeptics whose current understanding is simply "it's monkey pictures and scams", because that's what the news tells them, will pile in and say "oh THIS is magnificent, nothing like the scam filled crypto of before. We can trust large institutions like Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan and the BIS and the WEF to responsibly manage this from the top."
And without 99% of people even noticing, they will sideline the dream of truly disintermediated technology and replace it with a faster, better system of what they are doing to everyone already. And the normies will crow about it, because they don't know any better.
And the idealists, the crypto fanatics who dreamt the biggest, will be relegated to a niche sort of irrelevant nerd. Like Linux purists. Or open source fanatics in general.
That's how they're going to kill crypto. By "adopting" it. And Chainlink is going to be a big part of their solution.
I have held LINK since ICO, but now more than ever I get why they attract so much resistance from the purists. I used to say "never selling" because I was excited about making it. Now I say "never selling" because I am grasping for a lifeline before they fully close the doors.

Palm trees flashed past the airplane window as we landed heavily in George Town. Making our way through the winding, scorched streets, we were still far from our destination when the crowds started to thicken.
People of all ages, colours and creeds milled through the dusty streets, all moving inexorably in the same direction. Cripples, the elderly, the sick. Old men pushed wheelchairs, young children led their mothers as they hobbled along.
By the time we reached the street that had Cayman Mani/Pedi, the crowd was a roiling mass. What had been a loud murmur of anticipation suddenly dropped silent as HE stepped out of the salon, blue plaid glimmering in the blazing noon sun.
Despite all having suffered in the heat to get there, a sudden nervous hush stilled the crowd. Nobody moved. Nobody except for one man.
Slowly stepping from the masses, wrapped in a filthy shawl that covered his features, one man moved up the stairs at the foot of the salon.
"Master" he cried, prostrating himself on the dirty steps "my phimosis is intolerable, please! Master, please!"
The Master smiled beatifically, and took one step toward the cowering, shivering man. His huge grey New Balances made no sound as he moved. The crowd was absolutely silent in anticipation.
The Master spoke:
>The addressable market for smart contracts is quadrillions of dollars
he murmured
>It's the same slides!
the crowd roared as one
>My phimosis is cured! Part of my cock just fell off!
cried the cripple
The crowd went berserk. All knew the miracle they had just witnessed.

The first products to use Chainlink price feeds, EthLEND (now AAVE) and Synthetix, became titans of DeFi summer. Will the BUILD early adopters have a similar trajectory?
Personally I'm pumped for:
>Space and Time DB
Multichain on/off chain database bridge for very fast querying and analytics, fully decentralised.
>Mycelium.xyz
Similar to GMX but with tweaked parameters, Mycelium was top 20 on cryptofees.info during the recent volatility, with 70% of fees paid out to token holders, despite having a 15m cap and being rank #730. This is my long shot 100x yolo for the next bull. Perp DEXes are hot meme now that FTX is dead.
>truflation
Awesome product that has been more relevant than ever this year, "real" inflation data taken from millions of live data points. Not sure how or why a token is necessary, though.

I don't know much about Bitscrunch, Krypton, InterestDeFi or Galaxis, any anons want to chip in?

hi all, where can smartcon be watched tomorrow live?

1) The Chainlink project is an absolutely indispensable key feature of a future tech stack that will automate a significant percentage of ALL HUMAN WORK. Taxation, accounting, remittances, derivatives settlement, financial reconciliation, insurance, conveyancing, p2p trade, b2b settlement, etc, etc, etc. We are talking about the displacement of tens if not hundreds of millions of jobs worldwide, with software that performs trades far more consistently, accountably, fairly and reliably than any human system on the planet.
2) The "pay to play" and "pay to win" nature of the Chainlink token means that demand for the token FROM NODE OPERATORS ALONE will absolutely devastate the circulating supply, locking the vast, vast majority of tokens in contracts doing work as collateral and leaving only a tiny proportion on the open market available for sale.

The realistic figures for what 1 Chainlink token will be worth in 2030 aren't even worth sharing, purely because you wouldn't even believe me if I laid it out.

Do you ever feel bad about lying on the internet?

It's going way, way past $1k.
