>he's just waiting for moneyskelly to start his merge already
Fuck. No.
Chainlink is happening, with or without Ethereum being there to suck the life out of more dApps and speculators through gas fees. Even after the merge, using Eth isn't going to get any cheaper, and Chainlink only stands to profit more from powering good dApps on blockchains that don't naturally push their users to insolvency.
Fuck the draw of Ethereum's industry partnerships, which would inevitably lag after a mild bear market that forces ETH's real value to be found much, much lower. The only way these partnerships can even come to reality is with advanced L2 tech, which is hardly promising for ETH's revenue figures. Most money currently in Ethereum amounts to rent-seekers that couldn't care about scaling if the solutions were thrown at them for free; they think insanely high fees are good, because it inflates their revenue numbers, which are guaranteed to always be pathetic in reality relative to ETH's marketcap. The entire chain is a giant sybil-compromised (read: centralized) money extraction scam that thinks having great node numbers always equates to decentralization, and it begs for apocalypse.
I don't wish Ethereum bad, but my god, its proponents make rooting for it really, really hard. You have a stake in your shit; talk about the real fucking problems. Fix them. The most-practiced "solution" to Ethereum's gas problems for ETH holders—clearly, if we're going by TVL—has been to trade ETH derivatives as jpegs, which are then treated like there's some hidden fucking secret value to and anyone who points out how clearly retarded it all is is ridiculed. Speculator interest isn't a guarantee, and this strategy depends on speculator interest.

Chainlink will look downright prophetic dropping all Ethereum dependencies of any kind, and not having any apparent preferred blockchain. A good settlement layer's token accrues minimal, but secure value; the way it works reflects this.
