I'm actually more qualified to talk about this than most anons.I'm employed with a cyber-techno machinations company, I do a lot of security analyst programming type work. Open source, decentralized, APIs, partnerships, you name it. We'd be one of the first companies in line for something like Chainlink, if the decentralized smart contract space had more value over traditional data exchanges. There's a catch though, an underlying flaw more deeply embedded in the bedrock of LINK than the very code itself. The flaw is with the concept, and it's this: Companies won't actually go through the hassle of trusting their data API's through crypto.

Now I can already hear your keyboards going frantic, but hear me out. /biz/ hates banks, and traditional data providers. But actual companies, businesses, and investors do not. There's an old saying you might have heard of: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!". The idea that any of our bosses would give us the go ahead if we approached them to put our companies valuable data in a smart contract on a cryptocurrency called Chainlink, that they've never heard of, we'd be laughed out at best and fired on the spot at worst. We already have API data buyers and providers we trust.

'But Chainlink is trustless!' I hear you cry, but is that really a good thing? Just listen to the sound of it. Businesses don't want to spend millions of dollars on something that is trustLESS, they want something trustFUL. 'But the reputation system!', doesn't that defeat the whole point of your coin? If companies only trust nodes with high reputation, what's the difference between trusting banks and data providers that already have reputation, but in real life not on a computer screen.

The fact is, LINK is going to share the same fate as ETH will. A lot of 'real world application' hype, with a lot of 'crypto world application' reality. Only, this billion supply coin isn't going to come close to the $1k that Etherum hit. Happy gambling though anons.

Bunch of 4channers tried to force it as /ourcoin/, during the presale ico phase of chainlink there was a minimum requirement of 300eth to enter the presale. Bunch of anons pooled up together and shared presale links to fill them with their eth.

Coin continued to get shilled and pumped up and hyped for the sibios event that link was attended, whole event turned out to be a flop chainlink had a presentation in a room of like 18 people next to the public toilets, literally no news or partnership came from the event and the coin dumped back to below ico prices and created 1000's of bagholder anons.

Now during this alt bull run lots of anons and took advantage of this and shilling this coin to all the new money and newfags that joined in december and don't know this story.

The coin is HEAVILY manipulated and the supply is dried up from huge whales who accumulated below ICO price to create a artificially lower supply (a lot like REQ) and these people have so much room to dump on all of you faggots to still be in profit when the time comes.

In regards to actual project that chainlink aiming to achieve it's nothing more than a basic json parser for smart contracts, would take like a day to add to ethereum by itself.. literally making links whole concept pointless and definitely no need for a token. Would take a lot longer to get it working with bitcoin but the bitcoin core devs would be able to work out the solution a lot quicker than chainlink will, think that's something worth noting that literally nothing is completed and you're literally just buying a whitepaper, they have only 2 developers and they don't communicate at all with no proven background on either, in fact sergey was involved in a project before chainlink called NxT that he since been abandoned until it was took over by a new developer team

Chainlink is tied to Bitcoin.
The crypto community still hasn’t absorbed the importance of the Bakkt news. It is HUGE. The futures settled with bitcoin are likely to be more of a game changer than the CBOE ETF everyone is obsessed and overreacting about. And that’s not all, Bakkt’s plans for retail adoption are set to give bitcoin UNPRECEDENTED exposure! Not to mention they want to make it possible for pension funds to invest in bitcoin, which could also pour so much money into the space... Such gigantic news, really. Overwhelming! To me it means the future for bitcoin is brighter than ever, regardless of the current downward price action.
This means chainlink will be huge!

But considering the combined records of /biz/ and /g/ being able to see the first two way ahead of reddit and other normies, and given that ideas and memes generally start here and bleed outward, why WOULDN'T it only be spoken about here first?

I saw Sergey in an upscale steakhouse the other day. At first I couldn’t recognize him because of all the weight he’s put on recently even though I was sitting at the next table over. But I knew it was him after I overheard someone asking the waiter if they served Big Macs, which of course they didn’t, and as I turned around he began to throw a tantrum, tossing his menu onto the floor and pounding his fists on the table. “Don’t you fucking know what my PSD2 compliant decentralized oracles are going to do for the smart contract economy you stupid wage slave!?” He shrieked, to the shock of the other restaurant patrons. It looked like him and Rory were having an important meeting with financial types before his hangry attitude kicked in, so Rory hastily dug into his leather man purse and pulled out a crumpled, grease-dotted McDonalds bag, gingerly handing it to Sergey under the table. “Sergey sweetie, you promised you wouldn’t act this way, we’re going to have to go home after this with no second Big Mac if you don’t behave,” stammered Rory, attempting to calm the angry giant. Sergey snatched the bag and retaliated with an extremely loud fart before greedily unwrapping and chowing down on the Big Mac inside. I decided to leave shortly thereafter since I didn’t feel safe around Sergey’s unpredictable behavior, and the fart wafted onto my food anyhow.

We need to progressively stop the FUD so the normies and programmers slowly get into it.

I mean, if from one day to the other we start shilling LINK, people will feel that something is wrong. They need to get used to the name. Slowly but surely. That why, instead of instilling FUD, we need to stay idle for a moment and let a few shilly comments pass through our filters.

So when the day comes when we start shilling the fuck out of LINK, people will already have read the name, maybe even looked at the webiste. Most of them would have thought at the time "meh this looks good" and their subconscious mind will add "and it has not been shilled as much as TRON and BCH". But they would have looked at the webiste, understood that LINK is actually credible. But they would not dig any deeper.

So when we start shilling it, they will have no filter against FOMO. They will FOMO in like crazy. And then we will make it.

It will also allow programmers to start developping stuff and influencing their companies to start using it (because does not want to get a promotion and become the crypto guru at his company?).

We really need to do that /biz/.

A lot of people don't understand blockchain let alone smart contracts.

Most people who understand the basics of blockchain and smart contracts don't consider the logistics of getting data on-chain and assume it's simple to do.

Few people realise that a decentralised network and decentralised data works best - these people hold chainlink.
