during December last year when BTC mooned and LINK shot to ~1.50 i was so excited and i remember feeling afraid because of how much money i made that night. never did sell because hodl for 1k eoy. people say i should have sold because now ive lost blah blah blah but in reality i saved my investment for a whole year. i have that money secured. now all ive to do is sit tight and enjoy the memes and conferences Sergey speaks at. its all very surreal. were living in exciting times.

When ethereum took off and I missed the train for retirement because I listened to the fudding faggots and never forced myself to learn to buy crypto safely i promiced myself i would buy ether and the next coin biz chose.

>> No.11540802

The worst part about it not being a meme is when you try to describe it to anyone, giving piles and piles of information, graphics, use cases, partnerships, etc. and they don't listen because they think Bitcoin is over and never going to have any real world implications. "Blockchain is just a pyramid scheme, doesn't have any real value."

Imagine thinking fiat is the only thing with value, rather that is has value at all.
Why won't they listen? Do they want to be poor?

I never thought LINK was a meme because I've been holding since ICO and always knew what it was trying to achieve. I have github updates sent to my email. I keep track of everything that happens with LINK. The only people who think it is a meme are the dipshits that throw money at whatever is shilled on /biz/ without having any idea what they are throwing their money away on and have no idea how blockchain works or what it's capable of.

I didnt get into link because of biz, biz showed me the way, but then made my own research, also it was weird that chainlink started by being FUDDED in here. it wasnt shilled back in dec-jan, i remember people spewing on it all the time. was intriging to see people be so passionate about link. that's what made me look into it, and read the whitepaper.
bak then the only thing that held me back was the massive supply. but now i'm convinced with the derivative market, and banking and shipment, link will get a good share of global GDP

Early 2018. All my holdings were tanking but I was scared to jump ship. Kept seeing Link threads but was so focused on BTC, ETH, and NEO that I just ignored them. A buddy sort of took notice and told me about it so I started doing research. It was shortly after that I went all in. Half of me tells me I'm retarded because I always get blinders and get to attached to my investments (and it has mostly worked but I may have also been lucky), but the other half tells me we'll all make it because of how important this is

but they'll use smart contracts for sure, and chainlink is the ONLY solution.

Funny because when you tell people about link the only thing they ask is how much has it gone up by, like they only believe something that has already made people money can make them money. And then their eyes glaze over when you have to explain it's down from its ATH and that's a good thing.

I didn't start buying link till maybe March 2018?

I was just too lazy to read about the different coins on biz, so many seemed like a coin would be shilled and then if I had bought I'd have soon lost my money.

After buying 450k from $0.62 down to about $.30 with everything I had including half my 401k, I found link and fomod in with 33% of my jnt stack and as much fiat as I could for a while.

Just actually decided to spend time reading about that blue cube I saw so many bizarre meme threads about.

In one of the threads, among the memes and the weird furders, there was someone who actually thought it was a legit project. So I read the white paper and it seemed like it would be good, but I didn't really understand the scope of the hidden partnerships etc.

Decemberfag here. The first project that brought me into crypto was actually NXT. I bought it before the IGNIS airdrop and it changed to Ardor.

January I bought LINK, it was actually the second whitepaper I read (first was Bitcoin). The memes were funny, but I didn't fully believe in LINK until I fudded the shit out of every point I could think of to destroy it, and lost every time. Some of my FUD made it to the team though kek, and I like to think it helped them develop the project. I quintupled my position in June.
