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.
