A lot of big brains gather on biz, well they did in 2017/2018. Now it's just a public toilet.

>>25607591
all the big brains made enough money that they don't need to visit this place anymore.

>>25607534
read the whitepaper

>>25607534
It played a part in me buying in 2018. I'm up 3400% right now lmao.

>>25607617
Still here from time to time, but yeah...it does get a little tiresome having the same spoonfeeding convos day-over-day for 3 years.

>>25607617
you never leave

>>25607591
>>25607617
the big brains are still here, it's just that bull market is for shitposting and waiting, bear market is for discussion and planning. You're here forever and those millionaire LARPers aren't always LARPs. I'm a retarded latebuyer and even I haver 6 figures

>>25607534
It’s literally the god protocol, with the guy who formalized proof of work in 1999 as Chief Scientist, and co-author of the whitepaper. If that sentence alone wasnt enough to make you go balls deep then you are just retarded. Its not that /biz/ is particularly big brained, its that everyone else can barely tie their shoes they are so stupid.

>>25607534
Do you believe in CHANCE, OP?
Do you believe in LUCK?

explain LUCK to me. We can start there.

just go search the 2018 threads in the archive, you'll get nothing but curry stench today

I bought enough LINK back in 2018 to become a millionaire now.

The memes didn't make Chainlink successful. Sergey and his team and all of their hard work on this great project made it successful.

The memes just indicated to me that there was something very special about LINK, and optimism and belief in its success that went beyond your average shill campaign. Good memes are organic and natural, and that's exactly what LINK memes were.

>Only a 100 LINK
I guess I buy another 100 and the rest into ADA before that moons, is that the play /biz/raelis?

it was more or less being able to imagine what the next step of crypto might be i think
bitcoin was shuffling coins around
etheruem was shuffling tokens around and primitive smart contracts
next step would logically be to make those smart contracts smarter by bringing in real world data to them
some people were and are still stuck in the old ways, but trying to improve them. like faster tps than btc like nano does, or the dozens of eth killers. link was the only project doing oracles and taking the next step seriously
what the next step after oracles is i have no idea, but it would be smart to look for projects that are more forward thinking and does something unique that it is not just "[coin] but better/faster"

>>25607534
It's the longest pump and dump known to man.
Every time a bunch of you faggots arrive here the price goes up.
The chart is literally just a reflection of how popular this board is at the current time.

>>25608267
So, what do you reckon the ultimate price of chainlink may end up being?

>>25608385
somewhere between 1k and 81k of course

>>25607971
kek it was majority curry stench in 2017/18 too. but there were less shills i agree

>>25607617
i honestly dont know why im still here kek. i have more than half a million usd in link at this point yet i still shitpost all the time. fuck you guys

IYKYK

I knew about link when it was $1 and didn’t buy because I’m a midwit. Just bought $800 worth yesterday, should I continue DCA my paychecks into LINK or wait for a bear market? I just recently wrapped my brain around its full potential, so part of me thinks I’m lucky to be able to buy under $20.

>>25607617
I stayed because I also have a big dick with a big brain. The ladies, guys and traps love it.

>>25608566
Just try to get 500 of them and youll be good in 5 years

>>25607591
LINK was literally trash coin with a good promise back then, just like 99% of the project getting shilled here today.

In 2017/2018 the big brain old fag move was getting into the ETH ico which was also shilled here back in the day.

>>25608430
That's a big error margin.

>>25608636
for you

>>25607895
I'll redpill OP even if he doesn't feel like responding to me.

Memetics is the study of information and culture based on an analogy with Darwinian evolution. Proponents describe memetics as an approach to evolutionary models of cultural information transfer. Memetics describes how an idea can propagate successfully, but doesn't necessarily imply a concept is factual.

Ideas spread throughout a culture much like biology spreads through an environment.

Take 4chan as a particularly harsh environment, where as instead of relying on figures of authority of harsh moderation which moves populations towards group think, 4chan relies much more on individuation with no system of likes/favorites/retweets. This makes this website a particularly special place where ripe ideas can propagate long before hitting places that rely on group-think mentality.

To those of us who have browsed these image boards for a long time, you already know that a lot of aspects of internet culture seem to run deep here. Pepe, still on of the longest running memes in the entirety of the internet was birthed on this site. The first following that Donald Trump had on the internet was first from the now infamous "politically incorrect" board. To those of us who have browsed these image boards, we know the feeling of an idea being organically 'birthed' vs an idea inorganically created. Its smugness and suredness is unmatched anywhere else. Once you've been apart of a culture being birthed here just once, you'll be able to instantly spot it once it occurs again in the future.

>>25607855
How does it feel?

>>25607860
I am not an ICO OG, but same.

>>25607534
Holy newfag. You don't deserve to be spoonfed. The archives are there.

>>25607534
Yes meme magic is real

>>25607534
big brain geniuses that spoon fed 130-140 iq autists here who were able to comprehend what they were saying

but, both groups are long gone, still invested, most likely troll here though.

>>25607534
Hard $10 floor and Sergey is actually very intelligent.

>>25607534
Sminem was brought over by his father Jason Parser from Russia, and he changed his name to Sergey. We've been following his progress for about 25 years. Rory headhunted him from firstmark capital for the WEF, and here we are today. Basically as far as we can tell he is the village idiot, a buffer/fall-guy between the world and the evil mastermind genius of Ari Jew-els, first of the order of delphi. Assblaster was a disguntled neo-phyte who leaked some of delphis plans onto 4chan and paid the price for it.

Even the poorfags on here back in 2017 managed to get at least a 5k stack. Most of them probably sold and are still poor, but the linkcult is strong and I imagine that a lot of the old poorfags have a comfy 6-figures USD to play around in crypto now

>>25607617
The highest quality contributors to /biz/ are still here and never went to discord/telegram. The turboautist core is still here

What is Synchronicty?

World renowned psychologist and philosopher Carl Jung describes his idea of Synchronicity as an "acausal connecting (togetherness) principle," or, "meaningful coinccidence of two or more events where something other than the probability of chance is involved."

To explain the concept of Synchronicity simply, pic related does a better job. There are "coincidences" which are connected so meaningfully that their "chance" concurrence would represent a degree of improbability that would have to be expressed by an astronomical figure.

>A young woman of higheducationand serious demeanor entered Jung’s office. Jung could see that her quest for psychological change was doomed unless he was able succeed in softening her rationalist shell with “a somewhat more human understanding.” He needed the magic of coincidence. He asked for it, searched his surroundings for it.
>He remained attentive to the young woman, while hoping something unexpected and irrational would turn up. As shedescribeda golden scarab—a costly piece of jewelry—she had received in a dream the night before, he heard a tapping on the window. He looked and saw a gold-green glint.
>Jung opened the window to coincidence. He plucked a scarabaeid beetle out of the air. The beetle, closely resembling the golden scarab, was just what he needed—or just what she needed. “Here is your scarab,” he said to the woman, as he handed her a link between herdreamsand the real world.

God does not play dice with the universe
-Einstein.

real answer?

People were shilling the ICO because of the SIBOS conference. Most people dumped there but some autists actually read about the project and realize it's too good to ignore. The low iqs followed the high iq autists with the memes and here we are

Kek

Excerpt from book written by Carl Warwick, 2016-

People began to notice that the hieroglyph representing an Egyptian deity called “Kek” strongly resembled a man seated at a computer and a DNA strand emerging from it. They realized that this deity was also represented by a frog, and they quickly determined that this deity was influencing our political system, for political cartoons were more and more often featuring an otherwise mundane cartoon known as “smug Pepe” - a frog literally representing smugness encapsulated in image form; the strength of this image of course is the lack of a caption- it needed none, because the image came to represent smug satisfaction in every circle of understanding by pose alone- a gestural, non-verbal meme with significant meaning

Irreducible complexity matters; it is not possible to simplify. This image further because in a completely non-verbal manner it already perfectly expresses a feeling of smugness. How wonderfully this applied to people whose political ideology was gaining dominance, as it still is to this moment. Whether or not the influence of Kek plays a role large enough to topple the reigning world social order via democratic action is as yet unseen, but it will topple it regardless, either that way or some other way- for the egregore is now so powerful it is no longer even contained.

>>25608810
to be fair, ideas are just that, ideas. they can be 100% factually incorrect and still spread

>>25607534
Yes it was necessary to bury the greatest crypto project. Why do you think 4chan is the top glow data mining site? It was shilled here so normies wont touch it and after the dump from 20$ it was long forgotten. Even now experience crypto traders have no respect for chainlink. 2021 will announce staking and it will be link season and we climb to 1k while rest of market dumps. Never sell

>>25609143
Subsequent to this first wave of spread it was noticed that there was also a band called Pepe, which has produced, apparently, one single album back in the 1980s- this album, of course, included a cartoon frog waving a magic wand. As if it wasn’t already enough synchronicity to convince a fence sitter, the length of the one track contained on its “A’ side was 5 minutes, 55 seconds long: 5:55- that Kek is regarded as acting through repeating combinations of numbers, which represent stages between segments of chaos, is key here. This song even seemed, when translated from Italian, to represent what was happening in an occult manner as it overlapped with politics- it spoke of being free, liberated, and being the spawn of rebels and confusion, all very much in play.

I personally dug deeper and realized that 5 in Kaballah (jewish mysticism yes but still a folk rite in itself) was represented by Geburah, and that the numbered name of this sephiroth coincided with concepts such as “young male warriors” (a microcosm of the most significant fan base of the candidate this meme came to represent) and social stress. It was perhaps not coincidental that Geburah is also numbered as 216…. Or six times six. The mark of the best, how lovely.

Finally flipped this shitcoin

>>25608810
yeah but how much of link's rise to power was endurance of harsh memetic darwinian selection (and therefore a good idea), or just persistent shitposting from 2D porn addicts who got lucky throwing all their life savings in a, well at the time, a get rich scheme?

Ari Juels, head research at Chainlink labs
https://www.arijuels.com/whats-the-banner-about/

Those of us involved with LINK for awhile, read the 42 threads and such already know the connection between Ari Juels and 216

Ari Juels also wrote a novel,Tetrakyts. This is the description of it given on Amazon:
"a corrupt president of the International Monetary Fund is startled by an oracular voice from his computer charging him with crimes against divine numerology and God but together, they provide disturbing evidence that someone has broken RSA encryption, the security lynchpin protecting the world’s computer systems. Even more bizarre, a secret cult of latter-day followers of Pythagoras, the great Greek mathematician and philosopher who believed reality could be understood only through a mystical system of numbers, appears to be behind the attacks. With his deep knowledge of both cryptography and classical antiquity, Ambrose is the government’s best chance to uncover the cult. Soon Ambrose discovers he is not only the hunter but the hunted, and the game is not simply code-breaking, but a deadly plan to alter the fate of the world.”

The name of his book is a play on the word tetractys. The tetractys, or tetrad, is:
“a triangular figure consisting of ten points arranged in four rows: one, two, three, and four points in each row, which is the geometrical representation of the fourth triangular number. As a mystical symbol, it was very important to the secret worship of Pythagoreanism. There were four seasons, and the number was also associated with planetary motions and music.”
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetractys
Pythagoras, like those in the cult of Demeter, believed in reincarnation. However, he also believed between each cycle was a period of 216 years, which is the number six cubed (or 63).

I hope I’m not losing anyone. If I haven’t yet, I certainly will now.

Biblical scholars point out that thenumber sevenis quite significant in the Bible. In the creation story, God made the world in six days and rested on the seventh day. Scholars have found that thenumber sevenoften represents perfection or completeness in the Bible. In Judaism, there aresevenheavens.

Snow White ran off to live with seven dwarves, there were seven brides for seven brothers, Shakespeare described the seven ages of man, Sinbad the Sailor had seven voyages. And when Ian Fleming was looking for a code for James Bond, he didn’t go for 006 or 008. Only 007 had the right ring.

The legend of Zelda, the oracle season. Maine announcement and release dates. 20022 Gematria calculation, “I believe in an omnipotent omniscient omnipresent god who is in control of everything all the time there is no such thing as coincidence in my Fram of reference why would a god who is in control of everything…”

The Hermetics had a mantra, “as above, so below” to describe ways in which the microcosm and macrocosm behave alike. Very helpful to understand this concept in the area of finances alone, but difficult when put to the test on society at large.

Next structural problem. 200 fucking stupid L1s fighting for the same pie when literally only one project was dealing with how you feed data to be settled on that L1.

>>25609370
As its commonly referred to, “Meme magic’ is a representation of “as above, so below”, that the actions of a few here can have a ripple effect on society art large. The idea that a social circle on a micro scale correlates to a macro one. “Meme magic” cannot be quantified through traditional scientific experiments. Our current understanding of physics dictate that the universe itself is not deterministic. This knowledge can only be gained by immersing yourself in it. You cannot adequately describe a concept undergoing “meme magic”, yet if you have been involved in it before, you can instantly spot it again. Those on the outside are left completely dumbfounded as to how this process occur. They do not understand why Donald Trump got elected. They have no idea why a far-right rising is occurring in Europe. They will not understand why Chainlink exploded and a “few lucky ones” were able to cash out insane riches. They will not understand and they cannot understand as they do not immerse themselves as we do.

To us, we disregard Luck. There is no Chance. The events have already been foretold. We didn’t create this, we didn’t force this, we didn’t mold Chainlink to our liking. We are rather mere spectators, along for the ride on a rollercoaster that can only be described as divine guidance.

Even still, to this day, there are those who think the price will only be $200. There are those who believe 1000 EOY is just a simple “meme”. They are still blind to the manifestation of these ideas.

>>25607534
Link has been up since 17. It's like having a steady relationship with your significant other. ARPA is more of a rock n roll relationship, and you can unironically liquidity farm Bella by just holding ARPA

If Chainlink really were so good you faggots would all be maxing out loans to buy more of it but you aren't.

>>25609279
This is honestly me. I made 60k with poorfag money buying LINK back then, thats in profit - still have an ok stack. I’m the low IQ follower. The memes were funny. Still no idea what it does, it just felt right.

>>25609443
I already did that

>>25609443
Why would I max out a loan to only be able to buy an additional tenth of my stack? Also this is why people just use leverage instead, although I don't touch leverage

>>25609443
one MORE thing nigger, there was an anon that sold his house and put it all in LINK sub $1 a couple years back, you newfags severely underestimate how autistic some of the board is

>>25608810
4chan is a glowie testing site none of this is organic. They first provide an idea that is inline with thier goals. (You's) reply and they collect your reactions. Eventually they brainstorm all possible counter reactions and then impliment in real life. They data mining your ass, memetrics is a glow lie.

it depends on how much risk you can take and it's unique to everyone's personal finances

finding a good wife is very important, as long as she supports you, then you have more time to focus on career and revenue retrieval
also dual income is based and a good way to get started so that eventually you make enough money that your wife doesn't need to work and can support you by raising kids and being your secretary and assistant while you are free to hustle for more money and don't lose your time and energy chasing bimbos and a wet pussy for one night

I felt bad only having 25k and that was because I was studying at the time. A 50k stack certainly wasn't uncommon.

>>25607534
digital money and blockchain are more efficient then fiat

automation is taking over

smart contracts are more cost efficient and easy to use than paper contracts and are automated

Do you know the first crypto with usable smart contracts? On what platform did the first decentralized exchanges run?
The answer to both is NXT. I'm not repeating info from wiki articles or whatever, I was there and used the decentralized exchange (it was shit btw).

not rocket science. if you fuck around with these projects you get a better sense of where they're at and where they're trying to go.

also just because you fuck around with a particular project and it's not great doesn't mean it's not worth what it is.....the inverse is true as well

>>25611645
Sergey's "failures" were actually a strength, it showed experience in the space and resilience. It's rare for someone to have a success immediately. You should have done your research: it's a fast moving space, NXT was outflanked and Sergey shifted to the most importance problem in the space.
Really for us early on LINK it was an "intellectual" realisation of the problem along with the breadcrumbs ("family table") that got us in early. I spent weeks and weeks in the whitepaper and reading everything I could.

I meant it as a positive even though the first decentralized exchange was obviously shit. They're still pretty shit.
Sergey was at the center of some of the most interesting work being done around the 2013 run so it wasn't some long shot to follow his projects. I didn't make as much as I should have from LINK but I still made plenty from crypto on the whole.
