Any anon, every single one, that bought at ICO is hit with massive opportunity cost. You bought LINK instead of BNB, DOGE, SHIB, because of /biz/, but it never smelled like a good idea. LINK has stunk since the day it was shilled here

Imagine not selling at $50. Chainlink will continue to bleed out until $0.05, because there is simply no demand for this in comparison to AI or BTC

At the end of the year, we think we have enough material to seek out a publisher for a book on what an elaborate scam Chainlink is. Just recently after the FTX failure, Sergey said that many exchanges were interested in implementing Proof of Reserves. To date, not a single exchange utilizes Proof of Reserves.

Not only that, it's down 97% against ETH in the past 3-4 years, and 95% against BTC. Anyone holding LINK instead of BTC/ETH has lost money, every single person. To make matters worse, staking has resulted in nothing but losses for nodes and stakers alike, since the token has lost $2 per token since December 2022, far outstripping the 4% yield

The next grift is holding multiple conferences despite producing nothing of value for over half a decade. In fact, LINK's ATH against BTC and ETH was right before the very first SmartCon back in 2020. Since that conference, and all of the subsequent nothingburger conferences, LINK has been in freefall vs BTC/ETH. Only a fool would pay money to hear a bunch of scams talk about scamming

I only have 100k Link which is nowhere near enough to actually make it.

All these Linklets with 10k stacks singing about 1k eoy are starting to piss me off with their propaganda. It was a joke and they are actually believing it and causing FOMO in newfags preventing the dump. Link is only going to $10 max. Right now I might make 500k before tax on that, but tax will take a big chunk out of that then inflation will fucking ruin me over the next decade.

Even if I chuck the 500K into a dividend stock that pays out well and I get 70k a year of it, it's not enough to beat inflation unless I basically live in poverty as a neet and keep my wagecuck job in the meantime so I don't have to sell any retirement Link. In 10 years that 50k a year will feel like 20k a year. You need a minimum of 5MM, but more likely 10MM to make it. The upper predictions for Link were about $80 but that was made during the bullrun of last year, and it assumed that the overall crypto market cap would still be expanding and BTC would go on to 1MM a Bitcoin and that we would be in a full blown crypto FOMO hype bubble when mainnet came out and we got our price singularity. All of that isn't going to happen.

It wasn't really that early crypto wise. I assume there's a few people on /biz/ who remember NXT and it's asset exchange.
It was roughly 2013-2014. So like 10 years or so. Not exactly super early like 2010 BTC or anything like that.

When CCIP comes online, and bank apis are connected to public chains, everything will change.
When Chainlink functions allows the dapp equivalent of Uber to exist, everything will change. When DID allows your medical records to be chainlinked to smart contracts, everything will change.
Don't you see? The biggest thing has always been the tech that allows businesses to be created that couldn't exist before. This causes the big wealth transfer and makes new billionaires. Web1, it was http. It allowed companies to serve static HTML pages. Ebay, Google, Amazon, PayPal, were some of the first of those. Web2, allowed people to create content and connect socially and this was streamlined by the dev of client-server technologies like the DOM. All of a sudden, the user doesn't have to wait for a page reload in order to continue using the site. This tech creates Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram.
People think Web3 is all about decentralized ownership or whatever, but the reality is that it is actually much more nuanced. Don't get me wrong, solidity and the evm definitely allow dapps to be built, but real, world-changing dapps (which the closest to that in the industry right now are probably aave or maker; which are still nothing compared to Facebook or Amazon), are yet to reach their full potential. Just wait until aave can talk to all bank apis via chainlink functions. Just wait until there's a travel agent that offers instantaneous refunds if your flight is cancelled For Free. Just wait until there's a dapp that combines chainlink functions with your Google account and tracks your reputation level for a service in a smart contract on chain. Then things start to get really interesting. Maybe there will be a decentralized insurance giant, a decentralized banking platform or a new minclip-style platform where you can play games to earn a wage. Regardless, Chainlink is THE tech that will connect everything and catalyze the next wave of billionaire / millionaire founders.

I don't know how LINK doesn't end up circa $3.50 from here.

We're at BTC $25k and LINK is almost sub $5. Any kind of BTC shakes back down to $20 would absolutely fuck alts. 1500 sats is the next level on LINKBTC. We're at lower levels than any time in 2021, which was the last remaining "pro" from a trade perspective to hold it given it was one of the few that didn't make new lows in Nov 2021, and maybe if you squinted hard enough you could see it repeating its 2018-19 performance. The so-called "1-year accumulation zone" that would lead to "explosive moves" when broken was broken to the downside.

So, I guess I'm saying... is the cope now really just CCIP testnet, which the market has decided it doesn't care about because it's too complicated? What a ride. I think I can say, as of today, with my $1 DCA, I would have probably been better off without it.

>> No.55268174

>>55268157
It was never accumulation and i said that countless times. The volume and price action didn't suggest any accumulation, it was just flat lined price in a dead volume market. Link looked like any alt for well over a year. There's no reason we have to 'explosively' exit the range either side.

As a 2017 bagholder, I've finally accepted that LINK is just another shitcoin. The only reason anyone cared about it was the breadcrumbs (Assblaster) and its relatively decent performance against the rest of the market in 2020, especially against ETH which had dropped from its 2018 high of $1500 to around $150. CLL was never able to leverage this early growth into meaningful price action, instead opting to sell off hundreds of millions of dollars in tokens to fund its expansion. That would be fine if there had been any appreciable results to come out of that, but every promise and deadline put forward has amounted to nothing. It's fucking grim, and if we can get back to even 50-60% of the ATH, I'll be happy. I'll at least be able to buy a modest house. I won't baghold through another bullrun, I'd rather rope.

It is unique in the sense that it was hamstringed 4 times at the exact same price level, regardless of wider market conditions. It also held (and returned to) the same bottom it made in may 2022. No other token in your pic resembles that. Too bad the bottom fell out on this SEC news even though Chainlink wasn't mentioned, fucked up a nice pattern.

Do you mean the local highs in the image? They aren't really the "exact same", given they are around 8.30, 8.60, 9.40 or thereabouts. Plus, what do you mean "hamstringed"? Usually when I push this far it's when the reasonable takes are separated from the embedded bias, insane schizo takes so keen to understand whether you attribute LINK's underperformance to some kidn of self-aggrandising conspiracy per usual
I proactively withdraw the accusation in advance if that's not the case.

I got into crypto in 2016, just buying a few hundred dollars worth of BTC, ETH, and LTC. I told my friend about it, and we eventually gravitated towards /biz/ (been on 4chan since 2010 fml). ANS was real big on /biz/ at that time, so (after trading a bunch of random shitcoins I can't even remember, XLM and some others), I moved my profits into ANS. Held that all through the NEO rebranding and beyond. In 2017, my friend told me about LINK, and since we had been all in on crypto together, I sold all my NEO for LINK. I think it was around $0.18. I wasn't there at ICO, but it was a few months afterward iirc. The early days were really exciting because of all the in depth discussion on future applications of smart contracts and the tokenomics of LINK. Even after the crash in early 2018, there were always LINK threads reaching the post limit. Of course there was the breadcrumbs with Assblaster and some others. I remember Oatmeal Anon who was losing his teeth eating oatmeal every day to buy more LINK. /biz/ was full of whales like General Damu who held over 100k LINK. It seems that every day, new discoveries were being made. I was in Japan with my friend when the Google partnership dropped. Everyone was super optimistic as going into 2020 since LINK was starting to gain traction both in price and in various articles. This culminated in LINK reaching #5 on CMC. Even after it dropped in ranks, the bull run into 2021 still felt optimistic. ETH was making major gains, and LINK was lagging behind other alts a bit, but for us early holders, many of us had escaped six figure hell. It seemed like staking was just around the corner. Of course, the market crashed, and it's been downhill ever since. Sergey selling off tokens, constant delays, radio silence from CLL. It seems like all of the projects that CLL was working on faded into obscurity. At some point, I stopped going on /biz/. I came back for staking, but that was a huge disappointment. That's about it.

Definitely. I'm just hoping that LINK has a similar recovery that other alts had in 2021. Most only reached about 40-60% of their ATH, but at this point I would take that. It really depends on how the rest of the market is doing, and if BTC can pull alts with it.

Thanks anon, I read every word. Sounds standard! In a sense I think you should be grateful the consequences stop where you outlined them. I've asked other anons and the answers come back with far direr consequences, mostly anons who could've exited with 7+ figs, bought their home, early retirement etc, and watched it walk on by. At any rate at least you didn't nominally lose and you rolled the dice. Again wish you fortune

I bought in 2017. The ROI has been great obviously, but holy shit has it been demoralizing since 2021. We have Sergey dumping millions of tokens. Releasing an airdrop contract that they call staking. No neet nodes, just bootstrapped (that we pay for through dilution) KYC nodes. Community figure heads saying everything is fine and we should stop being negative. It's just insane how things have changed since 2018. Back then everyone was going corporate DLT pdf docs to find things about oracles, connecting the dots etc. Discussing how to start your own node and which data to offer. And today, most of the community is destroyed. We are down 50% vs BTC and ETH since staking release. And retards here are boasting about their staking rewards. Chainlink obviously is needed and has done many good things aswell. But when things recover I am moving most of my funds to ETH/BTC and keep something like 10k link staked. My patience with this team is over.

Well to be fair, I also had 7 figs in 2021 (low 6 figs now). I was very close to my sell price, but things went south just before that. I kept thinking that it couldn't possibly keep going down, but it did. Still, I'm better off than my friends who haven't invested in anything, so I can't be too upset. It's a once in a lifetime mistake to not sell near the top, one which I've had to pay for dearly.

I feel it. I think the early community just vastly underestimated how close we were to all of this theoretical implementation becoming a reality. I'm happy I made a decent profit, and I'll continue to keep some money in LINK in case it gets its shit together in the long term. But I can see where BTC maxis are coming from. My days of trading shitcoins are coming to a close.

Why not. I have around 25k LINK still (have sold a little bit here and there), and a few thousand in boomer stocks. At the height of the last bull market, I had around $1.2 million. Because of capital gains and whatnot, I was aiming for a sell price of around $70, at which point I would start ladder selling. Really though, I had stupid unrealistic goals. I was just starting college (pretty late since I was in the army for a few years), and I wasn't worried about working or finding a job. So of course I wanted to buy land to build a house on. LINK was always my retirement plan, but that's kind of a nebulous idea when you're in your twenties. Now that the economy is in shambles, I've rid myself of these stupid consoomer ideas I used to have. I just want to afford a home so I can start a family. Not selling was obviously a mistake in hindsight, but I was in a relatively comfortable spot in my life, so there wasn't pressure to sell when the upside potential was still there (at least that's how it seemed). Because I got lucky with both ANS and LINK, it really was like winning the lottery. Unfortunately, I've whittled that down by holding, but it's too late to change that now.

Fwiw, I had a similar net worth albeit with a different asset combo than you probably held, anon. LINK was a cunt of a thing to trade/play/sell through 2021, definitely unlike other alts. I too have a renewed appreciation for how little I really need to reach "financial independence" or at least a decent home that's fully paid for. I guess that's the best I'll get out of LINK tbhonest. I still wrestle with my mistakes though.
