Where will this LINK come from? It seems unlikely to me that non-LINK tokens used as payment for CCIP messages will be converted to LINK on the open market, so does that mean it will have to come from the project treasury? What are the implications of this

Non link ccip payments will be converted directly from the treasury. This will result in no new buy pressure on the market.
In addition to this, nop gas costs will be subsidized by another 70m market dump.

This is the achilles heel of the entire chainlink narrative. Ive been speaking about this for months. All the smart anons left though.
This is what makes or breaks the entirety of the tokenomics.
If link is bought on the open market then it will drive the price up.
But sergey has a 35% stack which is set aside to pay incentives to nodes.
Im fairly certain that the payments which get converted into link, are not gonna be bought from binance when theres a perfectly viable stack set aside just for this very purpose.
If this is true is 0 positive price impact for as long as this stack remains, it will actually inflate the supply and lower the price until 20+ years down the line when it runs out and more link can only be bought on the market

All of that is irrelevant. You buy in the open market give to a node operator who...dumps it. You see? There's no cycle.
What matters is making nops having to stake link, that's the ONLY thing that matters. Where link comes from is, almost, irrelevant.

>> No.55308488

>>55308426
Buying on open market at least keeps the circulating supply the same.
Whereas converting to treasury link results in new link tokens entering circulation

You're not wrong but if that inflation is captured by staking demand...
Those tokens will not get burned, will not disappear, they will eventually be on the open market. You offset this by create intra-demand of the token. Usage for payment is good, usage for security is much better. Link token eventually becomes a piece of infrastructure. This creates a parabolic demand that will led to many other things in defis (liquidity incentives, new derivatives, etc.).

What chainlink needs to do to HOLDERS is actually quite simple:
a) open a shit more space for staking
b) require a shit load of tokens for nops to stake
c) allow anyone to participate in certain jobs (for instance validating cross-chain transactions), also requiring staking.
This was always the gameplan. Link collateralizes the entire network usage. This way you create a naturally virtuous cycle of the network.

Thats fractionally getting smaller. 7% of an ever dwindling supply. Im a lazy nigger, any math anons that can calculate the emissions and usd value each year?

of total supply so thats 7% of 1 bil so 70 million per year
thats actually quite a substantial inflation for this bear year and an increase
last year was only 50 mil
