Too bad any money made from this will be going offchain to Sergey and we'll just get dumped link in exchange :(

>>58894289
>Too bad transactions will cost $599 USD and there will be no dapps

>>58894289
Is this the narrative behind the recent link pump? If so I'm opening a short right now

Why is Sony making a blockchain? Lmao

>>58894313
probably for their IoT devices
that funnily enough will all be connected either each other and the outer world by CCIP

>>58894313
>he doesn't know about in game crypto
Itll be currency you earn in game that can be traded/used to buy lootboxes and shit

>>58894313
>nfts for playstation games
imagine csgo skin trading but across their entire library, and everything added after (ps6 ps7, etc.)
>nfts for photographers
imagine photographers being able to prove that they are the original owners of a photo because it was taken by a sony camera that they own

Their 6 launch partners along with the different tabs on their ecosystem page. Doubt they would add these tabs without having projects already in mind for them.

Bad news. Sony is like the grim reaper of industries. Killed video games for multiple decades. They get into industries they hate to destroy them from within and make them all dependent on proprietary Sony bullshit.

>>58894546
How long did it take you to make that fud up? Bet you were stewing on it for a while, weren't you? racking your brain trying to come up with something. I'll give that a 5/10. Not a bad effort, but i think you could've done better

>>58894546
>make them all dependent on proprietary sony bullshit
sucks for all the people that enjoy their slop, I'm just here to get my link payments. Which would happen in this reality you described.

steam doesnt need a blockchain for the steam marketplace. why does sony?
>>58895004
save us from this bullshit chad

>>58894289
L2 not needed

>>58895036
>steam doesnt need a blockchain for the steam marketplace. why does sony
because sony recognizes that users will want decentralization, they just never had the choice up until now.

>>58894289
>Too bad transactions will cost $599 USD and there will be no dapps
You just made that shit up and pulled it straight out your loose asshole, infact that's the exact opposite as you can read basically in every news. Nice try with the reverse fud tho

>>58894313
>Why is Sony making a blockchain? Lmao
Nigga $TON is literally in the top 10, do you think fucking Telegram makes more sense in Web3 than Sony?

>>58895202
>decentralization
let's not pretend this is for the benefit of gamers. there is nothing decentralized about games where the game developer is the sole issuer of game assets and the game developer is responsible for validating the game state. multiplayer games, as you know, are full of bots, and the only way to 100% prevent someone from cheating is by strapping them to a chair in your gaming facility and watching them play the game on a machine your company built. This is assuming the company itself is not corrupt and does not self-deal by minting assets to itself under the disguise of fake players. the biggest "benefit" I can see is narrative-riding to farm money from idiots. the other benefit, which borders on practical, maybe, is the idea that Sony itself can lower the cost of payment processing by validating purchases on its L2 and bridging the ETH, USDC, or whatever to somewhere it can be sold.

>>58894289
oh so that's why it pumped. insiders got a head start.

>Sony is paying chainlink probably several tens of millions of dollars for an integration
based timeline for us linkies

>>58895328
>this is assuming the company itself is not corrupt and does not self-deal by minting assets to itself under the disguise of fake players
assets would be randomized via Chainlink VRF.
sony is paying for

fun times

>>58895328
there is nothing decentralized about web 3 other then taking money from retail

>>58894289
Guess who's token is not needed

>>58895525
I'm talking about fake/botted gameplay sessions, since the developer is the one with the authority to call VRF in the first place.
>>58895527
Smart contracts ideally are ownerless and their logic is what validates whether something is authentic. This is impossible for something like a multiplayer game, where the game developer must determine whether a game session was authentic and then tell the smart contract to do something.

>>58894289

>>58895544
m8 you missed my point entirely. This whole space is a scam

>>58895546
if you had told this guy in 2018 that Link would be fighting for its life to reach $12 in 2024, he would have laughed in your face

>>58895568
I know what your "point" is. I'm trying to be polite regardless

>>58895593
then why did you feel the need to explain what smart contracts are to me? when i said that web 3 is just a funnel system to take money from retail

>>58895604
because I'd rather talk about things I actually care about

>>58895544
why would the game developer need to do that?
Sony Owns playstation and has data from their servers so they can know via DECO when you bought a skin on your playstation account, or when you powered your playstation on to play online games. The game dev is irrelevant in this scenario I feel like.

>>58894289
This was first launching through ASTAR on a Polkadot Parachain, then through Polygon, now as a separate thing on OP stack, but is still as vague as fuck with nothing meaningful built. Sony got to dump a bunch of ASTAR I guess. Until proven otherwise it is another nothingburger.

>>58895622
you're a fagot

I sold 300 Link yesterday. Boy was that fucking stupid. I hate my life.

>>58894546
what a great business model

They could onboard a lot of people onto this chain with spiderman beyond the spiderverse. Imagine your preorder movie ticket came with an nft on their chain and if you minted the special nft, you get invited to the red carpet premiere of the movie. That could, potentially overnight change the public opinion on nft's.

>>58895650
buy some other project, it will move

>>58895546
we are at the most bullish scenario though
the whole euroclear, DTCC scenario is coming alive
crazy how they knew about this 6 years ago, we definitely had huge insiders on biz

>>58895698
they got spoonfed by most likely steve, probably ari at some points too

>>58895706
this for sure, and they did it for their token sales.

>>58895698
This.
Back in 2018 Ripple was the undisputed king of institutional partnerships, but even they could only dream of shit like euroclear and DTCC.
Now look.

>>58895706
I think ari still posts here
I imagine he posted the big f(x) post about blockchain

>>58894313
ONIONS is a tech conglomerate that follows trends and tries to create offerings.
If you read their memo they said they're going for a general purpose chain, make it go mainstream and develop tooling.

Expect Samsung to follow suit just because they can't afford to be bested by Glorious Nippon.

>>58894546
Their Gen1 and 2 products are goated for a couple of years then it stagnates and goes to shit, I'm expecting good stuff, but not holding my breath for their proprietary stuff long term.

>>58895546
Please tell me this is a doctored image. I can’t take this much hopium.

>>58895698
>We're at the most bullish scenario though
DURRRRRHHHHH, price will remain to crab and slowly rise only for you to realize it's never hitting even $200.

LOOOOOOOOOL FUCKING BEARISH AS FUCK

>>58894313
Retard gamers will buy the news and blow their wads on Sony PS + and less on LINK. LINK will profit more off Sony than your typical LINK brokefag. It's a win-win for Sony and Sergey. If shit doesn't work, they can both claim the collab as a write-off like Sony usually does. They literally get tax credits from the government to create chink propaganda from debt we will always owe to the chinks. It's quite genius actually and it might net me an extra linkie or two LMAO

>>58896964
Based.

>Basically, we're all gonna make it, whatever happens.

>>58895698
basically we were right back then but just very wrong on the timelines
i thought that chainlink would be $0.15 and dead or $500 in 2024
but we can say there's only one use case live

this news is good, ccip as standard - "sony blockchain uses ccip" is helpful

>>58895036
>steam doesnt need a blockchain for the steam marketplace
Eventually they will, steam is centralized. Placing items on the blockchain is better since everyone in the world agrees you own it (decentralization) and it is one of the valid use cases of NFTs. Seethe and cope more though, blockchain and crypto are here to stay just like the Internet. ETFs already solidified it.

>>58894289
MORE PARTNERS THAT WON'T BE DOING ANYTHING WITH THE LINK TOKEN THIS IS AMAZING BROS TRUST THE PLAN MARINES JUST 15 MORE YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>58895698
what are the chances of it truly taking off this year? I still haven't bought all the linkies I need and I'm deathly afraid I'll end up roping if I miss it
