I’ll be the first to admit that I was totally sucked in by the Smartcon hype because it was the only beacon of hope for link holders.
The amount of disappointment I felt when I saw that fucking bucket drum circle open up the thing seriously made me want to puke.
Then one after another the talks were god awful to the point where it reminded me of the time a yo-yo troupe came to my school to talk about not doing drugs. So low level that I still think it had to be on purpose.

22 Smartcon pushed my expectations back another 5 years, and I stopped DCAing because we’re going to have a lot better opportunities to accumulate much cheaper link in the next year or two.

The rumblings about SWIFT and CBDCs all point to link being involved, but still we’re talking at least a decade away before you see anything come of it.
In a way, Smartcon freed my mind of being obsessed with Link breadcrumbs, and now I’m focusing on my business and other ways to make money.

As much as I hope you’re wrong, this is the most realistic and pragmatic take.
Everyone is hyping up Smartcon because it’s been the only thing on the horizon all year.
The bear market is a good chance for them to be productive and avoid the distractions that come with a bull market.

I haven’t seen anything that makes me think the price will do anything but dump or crab for the foreseeable future.
Everything that has the potential to pump the price is still few years out.
Staking is far from ready
Ccip is far from ready.
DECO is so far from ready, they’re just now announcing successful testing.

All three of these need to be up, running and widely used before a new ATH can be anything more than a pipe dream.
