No, there was no shilling, just free alpha from kinder, more intelligent, assblasting beings

>>26320159
>Was it the same shit as the RBC pajeets
not at all

>>26320284
>not at all
except it literally was

it was organic
no one shilled it
most did FUD
of course, most were wrong

>>26320159
feels like link marinade from 2013, ngl

>>26320159
no the discussion was more about the technology than the price

>>26320159
LINK was discussed on a technical level. Why was it important, could they achieve it, what are the obstacles, what were the possible threats.
Everyone who tells you it feels like LINK is jerking off to the thought of newfags losing money.

>>26320284
Not at all, I remember seeing meme wars between XRP and LINK fanboys, now we know who actually won...

RBC doesn't blast my ass

>>26320159
It was shilled with people trying to link it to swift and bank payments mostly while others fudded it extremely hard. To be honest, there's more evidence for rubic being a legitimate project than there was link at the earliest days. Link was definitely a huge gamble and anyone stating otherwise is blowing smoke up your asshole. I gambled on link and it paid off luckily. Now I'm gambling on rubic.

>>26320319
Yes. LINK shills were taking old LINK memes and copypasting their logo over them. Then lazily posting one-liner threads to clog the entire board. And not one of these threads explained what it would do or name who was involved.

>>26320319
Totally literally the fucking same. Fuck you for ironically using the word literally. Fucking new speaking piece of shit.

>>26320423
Yea XRP has a general thread every day and all link did was massively increase in price

LINK started out as vaporware but then all the hype pumped it up so much that it became a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy

>>26320388
bullshit

>>26320159
Hope this answers your question newfag

>>26320159
Yes exactly the same sir, RBC is link, eth, and btc combined. It will change everything

>>26320319
It was not similar at all. The RBC is shilling is nothing but splooging over price action of a shitcoin. in the beginning of link it was a raging bull market and it did a 7x in a time when shitcoins were pulling 20x left and right every single week. the link discussion was not the same as the current rbc shitshow

>>26320319
RBC has no actual usecase. It's just oldfags tricking newfags to get in. Someone was on here bragging about how he hit six figs due to RBC and will be selling.... if you're buying this garbage i hope you get rekt'd.

>>26320159
>Was it the same shit as the RBC pajeets?
NO PMSL

RBC reminds me of
GHOST
NULINK
HOTDOG

Now go check those charts!!

>>26320159
No, it had all the feeling of a genuine new meme

>>26320438
>comparing the first ever decentralized oracle solution to another exchange coin
not even close to the same thing

>>26320543
>biz had flags
Why the fuck did they remove this

>>26320332
This, the only threads up about chainlink were the ones calling it shitlink, stinky linkies and the like.

>>26320636
That's on /int/, moron.

Yes, it was just as annoying. It was off the back of constant Digibyte shilling as well. The difference is that link is doing something novel.

>>26320159
After seeing the way this niggers FUD first ETH when it was $17, then the way they fud Link when it was 0.50, I haven't see the same pattern on a new token yet.

>>26320159
Quite literally, no. Every meme you see now about ANY OTHER TOKEN THAN LINK uses the same framework for memes, even the XRPeePees. It used to be every token had its own following with their own memes. Now everything is just a rehash of what made link special. I legit bought 20k Link because of the "TONIGHT" memes when it was .22 cents because I had some expendable income, and needed help investing-and the memes were TOP QUALITY. Now its just spam, and its sad.

>>26320446
>LINK shills were taking old LINK memes and copypasting their logo over them.
kek, linkies will become so powerful in the future to fund the invention of timetravel for the sole purpose of providing linkies of the past with fresh memes.

>>26320696
I also recall we had BANCOR spam around that time too

LINK had hype while the price didnt do shit. It was backed by the actual product.

No idea what Rubic does

>>26320636
>>26320686
/biz/ did have flags though

>>26320534
All of you newfag midwits should really fuck off and stop posting about things you weren't here to witness or wrote off as scam without checking out the discussion.
There were a shitton of meme threads - mostly to drive away faggots like you - but in between them LINK was dissected thoroughly until no valid fud remained in regards to the fundamentals.

>>26320771
statera got great memes

>>26320319
were you actually there?

>>26320319
except it was not

>>26320543
We need the flags back

>>26320771
yes, it is super sad how every shitcoin just copies the link memes now. really sucks

>>26320319
Absolutely not even close
Linkies have all original memes
every single meme made since then is a literal copy paste of a link meme with a new shitcoin pasted over it. Link threads had actual discussion (usually) none of the shitcoins we see today have anything close to the community Link had and still does

>>26321000
>>26321111
Fuckin checked

I've seen hundreds of rubic threads in the catalog, looked through some of them, and I still have no idea what it's supposed to do.

>>26320607
Are you retarded anon or just a newfag? I'm stating that in the first few days of biz shilling LINK, there wasn't any evidence of link actually working. Rubic has a working exchange, albeit a shitty one at the moment, I admit. There was nothing for link though other than the memes of the white cube logo. What you're talking about is the product, not the type of shilling. Stay retarded.

>>26320543
So, exactly the same

>>26320446
get a load of this low iq piece of shit
>i-it was just like every other shitcoin, the threads weren't based entirely on the premise of what link could end up doing, or breadcrumbs, or new high quality memes, or anything like that
you're one of those rare few who didn't actually listen for 3 years, and you're eternally assblasted that you missed out on the golden age of link threads because you couldn't click on a single thread and read at a high-school level
it wasn't hard anon, it wasn't hard at all but you still fucked up
that's how stupid you actually are
/spit /laugh

>>26320319
this, everyone who says otherwise is a newfag and has to go back to r*ddit

>>26321280
wow, a shitty exchange. who gives a fuck

>>26321175
Except kleros

since 2017 i only enter chainlink threads.
I have no idea what other shitcoins popping up every week. Im just glad I did pick the right now.

>>26320827
Implying 99% of coins aren't about pure speculation.

>>26320771
>making financial decision based on memes
fkn kek, never change biz

>>26320159
No, the RBC shit is way to in your face and low IQ. Link FUD was fucking harsh and high I.

>>26321494
Aside from 'Kleros Court', Kleros memes are just rebranded Link memes.

>>26320777
Checked

>>26320159
it was during the bear market. This board was different, less pajeets - less pol tourists. It was a better time.

>>26320319
I would say it was pretty close

>>26320159
Rubic shilling is more like Req shilling was at the time.

>>26320159
No. Linkshills have gone on to twitter and accumulated 10k+ followers and become official chainlink community advocates. Link drew a new swathe of users to /biz/ and the link meme framework became the standard altcoin meme'ing standard.

Chainlink is a flagship business of the World Economic Forum's 4th Industrial Revolution rollout. There is nothing that compares. Google, AWS, SWIFT, almost all of DeFi, and ChainLink labs is likely the most advanced team in all of crypto outside of btc-core and ethereum.

LINK was more like what GRT is now. RBC is rugbull shilled by paid pajeets.

>>26321389
I was stating it ironically you autist. I'm fucking incensed by every shit coin of the week abusing old LINK memes in a transparent attempt to try the patience of LINKers, in 6 and 7 figure hell, until they buy their shitty shit coins. It's visual noise and I'd rather they just FUD on LINK directly so I could at least have fun with it, but I know that's not their point. The point is they're fucking lazy and trying to be ironic.

>>26320159
rbc is artificial fake shilling
if you cant tell the difference just buy it

>>26321175
>Absolutely
So you agree?

>>26320159
No, link threads from back then we're full of actual fundimental discussion. Rbc and 90 percent of other coins shill 'this is the next link'. Pubic could very well be a good investment but make no mistake, the shilling is completely different and pretty cringe desu

What can the average anon do with link? What can the average anon do with the rubic infrastructure? Find the awnser to this, and all will become apparent. I will say this to newfags just as I was during the early link days, link was fudded to hell and back all the time, pajeet was mentioned lots of times too, and it stopped me buying in. Iam a whole boom and bust cycle wiser now, and iam unironically, unequivocally NEVER EVER SELLING.

>>26320914
This. I remember the deep dive threads back when link was 0.60-0.80
Was a broke student so didn’t have any capital to put in and missed out. Regrets.

>>26322529
>Joe Rogan here
That sounds unwise

If you want to know what link threads look like, dip in on the grt threads. They're identical to how link threads were, minus the insider tripfag.

This rubic shit is more like Panda, metro, faketoshi, the stupid one where you have to manual solve a puzzle to get a payout (suttra?), or any of the other actual pnd coins of the month.

>>26321280
>>26320438
This. I invested in the pre-sale ICO and shilled LINK here for a long time. Many OC memes and breadcrumbs that I can't be fucked to dig up right now. But the breadcrumbs never went anywhere. There was zero product and zero communication from the team. At the time, the team consisted of Rory, Steve, and Sergey. Thomas came a little later. For most of 2018 these guys had disappeared and there was actually reason to believe that Sergey was backpacking south east asia. Continuing to hold was akin to religion. I wanted to stick around but I had to make a hard decision in life. I had debts to pay off so I could move on and everyone in my life was urging me to let go of the Chainlink fantasy. I succumbed after a year and a half. I'd be a multi millionaire today. Nulinkers have no clue how fucking good they have it made. Chainlink went from being a borderline scam for all of 2017-2019, and then quickly became the most legitimate project in crypto hands down.

>>26320159
I wasn't here in august/sep 2017, but joined in nov so bought req and xrp and sold them in dec for x2 and started buying link, spent all of 2018 buying, managed to get a 100k link colonel stack, still all in, still holding.
haven't read the wp yet, but I trusted the autism of /biz/

>>26320319
I hate you
I hate people like you fucking up this board
People like you weren't here when we were talking about LINK
I miss the old biz

>>26322904
he's not wrong. The difference is that LINK shilling was organic and impassioned. Rubic is forced and probably a paid campaign

>>26320962
On this point I do yield, Statera does have prime memes and are original. It was the first token I diversified into after link because of that and, yet again, rode it up to a nice little top. But to be honest >>26321632 this is how you actually do it bros. I'm really not fucking around. I've netted 600k from laughing my ass off at SirGay memes and stater dogshit and now I'm buying a home without having a job.

>>26322815
I feel like DMG is going to do the same

>>26320841
No. Never.

>>26321632
My portfolio is now around 500k solely because I liked a Link meme so much that i bought it.

I miss link jesus and the guy who took out a loan to buy chainlink when it was $4

>>26320981
Yes I was. I was one of the 'pajeets' that mods need to 'ban' for shitting up the board. I literally invented the singularity meme and still have the original photoshop file

Wow a whole lotta anons SIMPING for link and sirgay. I can hear the waves crashing from here, how fucking gay do you lot sound.
2 completely different projects, why they have been brought together and compared I'll never know.

>>26321668
It was at first but at this point kleros found their own way

in my experience i did feel there was some to alot of pajeet shilling going on. maybe they werent paid. idk

linkies stole all of their memes from digibyte, ark, neo etc.

Fucking new fags shitting up biz. LINK is the only token that matters outside of eth and btc. Not Pubic

>>26320159
It was one of the best times to be on this board, and it was around that time that this board really got its own identity and original memes. Before that it was just shitty scam threads, "frugal living" threads where anons would brag about stealing ketchup packets from mcdonalds, and shitty pnd threads. /smg/ (formerly /rht/ or /rhg/) was the only worthwhile place on this board.

>>26320827
Sounds like PNK

Buy LINK now if you know what’s good for you

>>26322005
every board had a better time without /pol/ invading it

>>26322904
I was literally one of the first link 'shills' lmfao

>>26322196
You're saying that coins are not about pure speculation? They actually have an utility in this world beside creating dildos?
Shit man... I'll neck myself.

the closest thing to link in terms of meme production is avax nowadays

>>26323618 meant for >>26322400

>>26320159
It was a lot like STA and RBC. They're both missing one critical component though: an assblaster like prophet

Didn't bother reading all above just chucking in my few cents.
In my opinion, what we've seen last couple days is very close. But the think with link was that it went on for ages.
I started lurkin in August 2017 and saw so many link threads. I pretty much ignored every single one because they were so numerous. Probably similar to many people about rubic. I just thought chink was a scam coin that was shilled non stop. The FUD back then was almost as strong as the shills. I remember people trying to track down sergys address and showing it was litterally just a PO box etc. FUD saying saying sergy is just a fat burger etc. All fucking funny looking back now.

But yes at the time, it seemed the community was split 50/50. A lot of biz got in on link at the ICO so dirty cheap prices so they were always gonna shill the shit out of it.

Only a few posts actually had any substance, i.e talking about oracles and smart contract. The rest were just memes.

So in conclusion, if this RBC shit keeps up (which it may well do because Biz just bought out the fucking coin), then like with Link, I can see it being non stop shilled for a few more months. Then if that's the case then we may be onto something!

Also like link, it's got a fucking great use case. Cross chain dex swapping, i.e. trading litterally ANY coin with another is something we need more than anything...

>>26320159
Kind of, there was a lot more excitement. People would constantly refer to missing the Eth boat and Chainlink being the last chance to make it. There was a lot more faith in the whitepaper and science and what purpose it would actually serve in crypto. Obviously RBC is set to do well, but LINK was spoken about as being revolutionary to all of the crypto space. Also the original link memes were fucking gold, now they're just all rehashes. Still got a 15k bag of RBC tho, fuck it.

>>26320159
It was autistically debated for about six months after the white paper came out, then fortuitous numbers and memes kept it going for years. It was nothing like the forced spamming of rubic. Actually link wasnt a great investment during the ‘17 bull run: ICO at .12 and high of 1.4 when shit like DGB did a 24x, antshares did 100x+, etc. was only great during the following bear season and later.

>>26321632
Crypto has not real world application. It will never become a mainstream currency. It will never be used for any of its smart contracts. It is a purely speculative market. Memes are the only thing that matters.

I got in in Fall of 2018, the discussions were revolving around breadcrumbs and insiders coming in and giving us tips. For every TONIGHT or FUD thread, there was always a discussion to learn something new about Chainlink and how it is important to the growth of the industry.

Oh my god, I completely forgot about the Sergey backpacking memes, so funny, even though it was concerning at the time. Also the whole toilet situation was hilarious too, what a journey.

>>26322958
he is wrong, it's just another cash grab that solves nothing of value
>>26323529
no you weren't, LINK had serious discussion all the time, each serious thread produced oc memes, the reason people got onboard with LINK is people with brains could see the value being explained.

ANY FUCKING SHITCOIN ON THIS BOARD THAT STARTS WITH 'BUY BUY BUY' WITHOUT EXPLAINING THE VALUE IS A FUCKING SHILL CAMPAIGN BY PLEBS

>>26323896
very cool, thx for links

does the PMM discord still exist?

>>26322815
>>26323972
Also I used to genuinely feel quite sorry for Sergey and Rory. They'd constantly be abused by NEETs from this board with probably no fucking clue what was going on. Wasn't enough to freak them out totally which is lucky for you fuckers.

>>26320438
It was gambling up until spring 2019 when their was enough evidence to be 90% sure link would be a big deal. I've got over 200k link, believe it or not.

>>26324067
COPE harder faggot I literally invented the singularity.
>oc memes
the link marines themselves were a knock off digi marines. kys faggot

>>26323729
I agree with this anon, I woke up yesterday morning and this board was buzzing and my first thought was “It’s link 2.0 don’t miss out again”.

>>26320589
brainlet dyor

>>26320159
Every single person just knew. People like to pretend like Link was FUDDED but it was one of the most hyped projects after it's ICO. People knew it was just jokes when people said it was shit and non of the FUD stuck it was things like "HAHA people dont like link ;)" or "Link is dog shit right guys lol".

We actively tried to get reddit into it and some people actually bought. You didn't have to have iron hands because it was good news all the time basically.

Anybody who tells you otherwise is lying.

>>26322795
are you saying that GRT is the next link?

>>26324556
People are still sort of doing this a little with RBC. Not to the same extent but the whole pajeet name/email posting shit was clearly from holders, anyone who thought that was serious FUDing, hasn't been on /biz/ for very long.

>>26323494
but you have no problem with lefty authoritarians invading every aspect of your life...
nigger jew.

>>26323772
Correct. It was embarrassing and LINK holders were shit on relentlessly for not getting rich off of flipping gains into gains into gains. It was an unprecedented bull market, requiring almost zero strategy and LINK underperformed it.

>>26320159

Chainlinkgod isn’t even an og. He bought in in 2018, and he’s a zoomed still in college who just took all the info the big brains dropped and started spewing it on Twitter. He’s done good for the community, but he still made a stupid social media account to get the dopamine hits and “networking”.

He isn’t even on the same planet as Assblaster was.

>>26323729
I'm still not understanding how this simple fact - that it's a cross-chain swap application - isn't beating all the FUD. Sure, we don't know how well it will work yet, but the simple fact that it is being promised is call for huge speculation.

>>26323218
I don't see any Rubic copypastas, I don't see anything about Rubic's founders, I don't see loads of Rubic FUD, I don't see an equivalent of 4IR hype, it's not the same at all IMO
I don't belive you were here

>>26324966

Amen, bro. Absolute faggots.

>>26323729
>trading litterally ANY coin with another is something we need more than anything
Literally XRPs usecase, token not needed

ok im sold, gonna get a small bag fuck it

>>26320159
No. Nothing that came up in the last few years has been like it. LINK is still the shitcoin to go to.

>>26325446
it's been 3 days faggot. believe whatever the fuck you want. I don't care if you think people are or are not a part of some secret club. I bought chainlink at 14 cents. seethe.

Chainlink meme magic is dead compared to 2017/18/19

>>26322005
This meme was made by /pol/.

>>26325236
this

>>26324769
People talk about it the same way; mostly technical, calling out moon missions as low-key fud, threads devoted to memeing accumulation dips into existence, etc. Idk... maybe?
t. nolinker
Yep... I fucked up.

>>26320159
I have 30k Link, the atmosphere and FUD around GRT is EXACTLY the same. Virtually identical

>>26326025
its not too lateee

>>26325785
>I bought chainlink at 14 cents
So did I tranny. You're probably from Brazil or something.

>>26320159
Link was shilled 24/7 with 35+ threads any given time.

They all sold by now.

>>26326128
>So did I tranny. You're probably from Brazil or something.
??????????????
nice argument faggot

>>26320159
The current "LINK" (a coin with legitimacy behind it that still performed like dogshit in the early days) is unironically PNK / Kleros.

>>26325614
Cope xrp schizo.

>>26320914
yep

I have been on this board for years and it unironically feels like PNK is the next LINK. It's got that mixture of a unique and vital use, case along with a distinct meme culture produced by its loyal followers. In kleros threads, real OC is made by seriously high IQ anons, most other coin threads are just moonboys shitposting at this point. What's more the project is hardly known outside of biz (check twitter/Reddit you will see fuck all) and big players in the space (eg vitalik, Colin rule). comfy

>>26326167
what was your argument even? you just said seethe lol

>>26320319
Isnt Parsiq more similar to oldschool link?

>>26322005
Always brings a tear to my eye

>>26320159
Naw, this is just your typical flavor of the week that ppl will forget about soon.

The first LINK threads were like "if this product actually works out, it can be massive". The space was filled with less traders and more speculative tech-minded people back then, for better or worse.

>>26324556
This is complete bullshit. Biz did and still does astroturf reddit to price them out of link. You can see it for yourself literally right now on the grayscale link post on r/cryptocurrency, it's full of sibos teir toilet and bigmac fud. Here's your (you)

>>26320159
>Was it the same shit as the RBC pajeets?
No.

HOLY SHIT

$2 by february confirmed

>>26326302
This, although the LINK ride was far from comfy in the early days, and I fear the PNK ride won't be comfy either. But by god it'll be worth it.

>>26325893
no it wasn't.

>>26320543
>use vpn
>go to /int/ and make a misspelled post
>screenshot it after it gets 4-5 responses
WOW DEFINITIVE PROOF OF SHILLING LOL.

>>26326716
Wrong.

A group of /biz/ people pooled money to get into the presale for link and then started a heavy shilling campaign. It resonated with /biz/ and they adopted it as /ourcoin/.
What you see here is similar, yes. /biz/ owns a huge chunk of the supply now so it's similar to them having big cheap bags from pooling for a presale.

>>26320771
you are a fucking newfag if you don't think link memes weren't knock off digibyte memes

>>26323020
But Statera is like LINK in 2018 anon. Did you sold already?

>>26326302
>no good Kleros threads since Link first mooned
it's dead

>>26320584
imagine being this retarded

it takes one fucking google search and five minutes to realize your wrong.

>>26324556
Only truthful answer in this thread.

>>26326561
Lying again.

>>26323248
True. The Pajeet memes are pure Kino and actually new and hilarious.

>>26323494
Now you are talking. You haven't been to /pol/ before and after the reddit invasion of MIGAtards happened.
