Wasn't there a larper once upon a time who said when you see Sergey on CNBC it's a sign

Holy fuck hes put even more weight on the stress must be killing him. Someone please reach out to him and tell him to look after his health first and foremost.

>>52679849
Oh shit. It's happening

>>52679849
This comes across as a little anti-semitic imo.

Yes I remember that thread but cant find it in the archives.

Made it 11 seconds in. Buzzwords, same slides, etc. Zoned right out. Check Sergey’s latest twitter post for him admitting no one wants to adopt Link. In true snake fashion he had to disguise it as an inspirational post.

>>52679849
Why can't he sit up straight and have a non-faggy posture? He looks fat (more than before) and his shirt is gimmicky

FAT FUCK

>>52679959
Its pretty uncanny how all these interviewers on major stations sound like absolute unabashed shills for chainlink.. I assume its either massively paid for marketing or .....?

>>52679849
wtf which one is sergey??

>>52680441
>I assume its either massively paid for marketing or .....?

Could you show me a CNBC interview where a CEO shits on his own company?

Based Sergey, look at all the seethe he’s causing

>>52679849
He stole all the bigmacs at the conference and ran away, AGAIN, fucking betraying piece of shit

>>52679999
checked

>>52680491
No but I cant show you a cnbc interview where the interviewer has clearly never heard of a blockchain never mind an oracle network but is still singing the praises as if its the savior of all markets

>>52679849
He’s here to save us

BUMP

>>52680575
That's just what they do anon. People who work in broadcasting are the most retarded subhuman creatures on the planet. You could go on their show singing the praises of foreskin creams and praising moloch and they would nod along and smile.

>>52679849

why

Remember that insider that said CNBC = go time. also, a week after Jim Cramer mentioned LINK for the first time, and it was to call it a scam. Timing, coincidental?

The Top Ten Classic Signs You Are In A Cult:

1. The leader is the ultimate authority
>Sergey depicted in memes as a king, a god, Jesus on the cross
>followers hang on his every word, mesmerized by his presentations even though he's been using the same slides for 3.5 years

2. The group suppresses skepticism
>all critical thought about LINK is FUD
>questioning LINK will get you called a redditor, newfag, or a salty nolinker

3. The group delegitimizes former members
>memes depict LINK sellers swinging from a rope
>popular figures like Timo, Cryptojuice, and even Dave Portnoy are mocked endlessly despite making a profit by selling LINK

4. The group is paranoid about the outside world
>LINK cultists insist that the "kikes" want your LINK
>the only reason it doesn't pump is "price suppression" by the globalist Great Reset New World Order

5. The group relies on shame cycles
>people who don't have the prescribed "suicide stack" of LINK are mocked and shamed until they irresponsibly spend over $70,000 to acquire 10k LINK

6. The leader is above the law
>linkies hate anyone who sells LINK
>but when Sergey sells 40 million dollars of LINK every Friday for a year, it's a good thing

7. The group uses “thought reform” methods
>DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF POSITIVE THOUGHT! WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!

8. The group is elitist
>the linkie believes he is superior to the nolinker, even if the nolinker has made many times his profit, because one day LINK will moon. he knows this, based on faith.

9. There is no financial transparency
>nobody knows where Sergey's weekly 40 million dollar dumps are going
>one blog post update every 6 months

10. The group performs secret rites
>esoteric saturnism
>eric holder killed paul walker
>rosicrucian numerology
>municipal marmalade
>cult of demeter
>jonny rims horses

Uhhh linkniggers? Garlinghouse is there literally every single week. He’s also on fox business all the time.

They need to get a grip on his diet FFS. , Do people realise the amount of work it takes to maintain a body like that?

appearing on CNBC is bearish considering the whole FTX fiasco.

>>52681048
It's a CGI render. You can tell because the light reflecting off his face is too white. Real life objects never reflect light in that way.

>>52680575
>a cnbc interview where the interviewer has clearly never heard of a blockchain never mind an oracle network...

Last night I was in a restaurant where an Edward Jones advisor (the local franchise/branch owner) was giving a brief talk to a group of his clients. I guess it was an annuall holiday dinner thing. It was just a general discussion of the recent bear market, etc. Sort of a pep talk.
When he finished he asked if anyone had questions. Only a couple people in the group asked him anything, and he answered intelligently. I was sitting at the bar pretty close to the group so I raised my hand to gesture that I would like to ask a question.
I hadn't formulated my question perfectly, as this was off-the-cuff. But I asked something like "can you tell us what your company is doing to prepare for the changes that blockchain technology, oracles, and smart contracts will soon bring to the financial services industry?"
Granted, he's a financial advisor / broker and not a tech person. But he looked a little stumped for a second and then said "oh, you're talking about crypto currencies like bitcoin and ethereum and such... well, we haven't been investing in those yet for a few reasons, blah blah...."
After he finished my girlfriend turned to me and said "did he even answer your question?" I said "no, baby, and yes. He didn't answer it but he let me know how familiar he is with those concepts, as a professional in the financial services industry."
She said "well? What do you think?" I said "I think we are wayyyy early, and we will probably eventually be very wealthy."

Nice try larpfag

>>52682130
Heh, I swear it happened, and my girfriend is real, too ! Thanks for the chuckle.

>>52682166
>my girfriend is real
ok now it's guaranteed you're larping

>>52682166
Even if the story were fake, it could be real, in that most people have no idea what's coming. The low profile of Link is still being largely maintained. Swift released that paper the other day talking about their recent work on interoperability and no mention of Chainlink, despite matey-boy from Swift speaking at Smartcon on the subject. Someone somewhere has said to not mention the name.
I have a working theory that Chainlink don;t want to be a name linked to CBDCs for fear of repercussions in the near term from those vehemently opposed who will be thirsty for someone to point the finger at. This makes sense when you think about it. Why paint yourself as on the side of the bad guys (which anyone working with CBDCs will be)?
t. Link maxi and worried about CBDCs though I love Link

>>52682744
Checked. Obvious there has been a HUGE campaign from SWIFT and the like to not mention/gag order any mention of LINK. Think, CNBC, Bloomberg, Coinbase etc. I guarantee Coinbase is involved in running a LINK node but won't say a peep until v1/v2 staking, or that JPMorgan works directly with Sergey on JPM solutions, etc. All of this shit just drops randomly when NDA is cleared. Take Two Sigma announcing the node they're running, no one mentioned it.

>>52679849
He's getting ready to Dump

>>52681389
Yea, that's cool and all. But XRP isn't needed for ripple to function.

>>52682744
Oh, the story was real. When almost nobody in his client group seemed to want to ask him anything, I just wondered if he'd heard anything at all about the way "web3" and "the 4th industrial revolution" will impact his industry. We (regular /biz posters) are so familiar with those concepts that it seems like every educated person should be.
Again, that guy is a financial advisor / broker and well educated in his field. His job is to sell stocks and mutual funds to your meemaw and peepaw. But I bet *some* people somewhere up the chain at Edward Jones are likely putting in some serious work to get ready for the way the industry may change to adopt smart contracts, etc.
Like I told my girl, I think we are just fortunate to be way early in knowing about all this, and investing in it.

>>52682066
>babe were SO early!!

> transparency is important
lmao sergey literally becoming bigger and more opaque every day

>>52683126
I bet you got a right kick from that. I know I would've. I wonder if they'll remember you asking that stuff when the curtain is pulled back and it's suddenly in their faces..

>>52683170

>>52682066

This may or may not be real but it doesn't matter - i'd wager most of us here on biz have had similar experiences. I recently talked to a software developer, pretty smart guy too - asked him about his take on crypto and he dismissed it, he started talking about web3 and NFTs - said little/nothing about smart contracts and how they'll be integrated into TradFi. I've spoken with financial advisors / people who work closely with accountants and shit, they seem to have surface level knowledge but no clue what a "real" project is - just toss money here and there at flavors of the month and treat it like sportsbetting.

Honestly the real lesson is 99% of people are NOT looking for life changing investments and even if you bring them up in front of them they'd rather you talk about cooler shit. I don't even blame them - my mind is irreparably damaged from pontificating on the subject of value so consistently in my everyday life.

>>52683126
>likely putting in some serious work to get ready for the way the industry may change to adopt smart contracts
if there are people like this involved wouldn't bet my money on it:

>>52683790
>truth machine becomes global samizdat
>chainlink whitepaper 7.77 is titled "5000 years together"

>>52683717
Isn't it fair to say that none of it is worth a fuck without Chainlink services, which aren't fully operational yet? I think things will very quickly change. That's what i'm betting on, anyway. When I have doubts, I just think about Eric Schmidt at Smartcon, and they all go away.

>>52679849
He failed to talk about privacy in the blockchain industry

>>52680497
This

And theres so much more to come

>>52681370
Your 9th point is misdirected. There's nothing wrong with anyone prioritising their privacy rights.

>>52683891
>none of it is worth a fuck without Chainlink services
That is true.

So funny to read comments like these:

>"What blockchain does is shift some of the trust in people and institutions to trust in technology. You need to trust the cryptography, the protocols, the software, the computers and the network. And you need to trust them absolutely, because they're often single points of failure."
>As a programmer I certainly do not trust the software, mine own not exempted.

>I thought. Then said “As a lifelong technologist, I’ve always been dubious about technology as a solution to a political problem. It seems a good idea to have a land-registry database but, blockchain or no, I wonder if the large landowners might be able to find another way to fiddle the records and still steal the land? Perhaps this is more about power than boundary markers?”

>Dear Reader: I think that at some point, in a civilization, there has to be trust. I think that’s maybe the main reason we have civilizations. Call me crazy.

I guess it's such a paradigm shift that it will take some time for people to grasp.

Still makes me wonder if MAERSK and AXS are just gonna try again with a new solution or why they decided to quit just now. Why not wait for Chainlink for example.

Someone on Twitter said youll know its happening when Coinbase force market sells your link for 10x what its current price is, because technically you dont own them, not your keys etc etc then it shoots up 10x past that new price.

How likely is it that something like this happens and Cbase shafts us?
