ChainLink has many real world and lucrative applications.
A dedicated, practical, frugal, and autistic development team thats being advised by Ivy league professors and Facebook engineers. It's the only coin with a peer reviewed white-paper. Moreover, the coin's price is relatively low right now because Sergey doesn't care about hype, rather he spends his time developing a good product.

If smart contracts are going to become mainstream, the blockchains will need an oracle to talk to outside data sources. Chainlink is a decentralized oracle network composed of nodes. The node operators will be paid in LINK, and there will be incentive to hoard link, because nodes that have more LINK will get more traffic.

The working product isn't even out yet and the price is relatively stable, once a working product is out (in Q1 with luck, conservatively Q2) the price will move pretty quickly.

Don't go all in though, maybe go 50 50 with another good coin, Maybe XLM.

Look into the team and the github. Currently we have a two man team, one of which (Sergey) is completely unaccessable. No communication whatsoever. Almost no progress is being made on the project and it’s likely in its current state, no progress will be made. Don’t buy fucking memes if you are truly value investing. The small team and lack of communication is a massive red flag and many coins are also working on what chainlink claims it will be able to do. The risk is not worth the reward here.

LINK is a meme that grew out of control. Initially the idea seemed potentially promising, but eventually smart money realized that trusted hardware solved the issue to the satisfaction of most potential smart contract users, and thus a ‘decentralized oracle network’ was an edgecase desideratum for idealistic (and gravely naive) cypherpunks. Unfortunately the idiots on this board didn’t get the memo and, unable to deal with having missed out on *real* game-changers like neo/ans and eth, have driven themselves into a frenzy of pollyannish delusion. Ultimately it’s just a glorified api wrapper and ‘json parser’ that the two inept team members won’t even be able to complete in any reasonable timeframe. Seriously, don’t buy this.

>>6667941
When mainnet launches, LINK will work on BTC, ETH and Hyperledger. If you don't know what Hyperledger is, it's big business' version of Ethereum. They want to utilize smartcontracts, just not through Ethereum.

Now here's the kicker. Unlike Ethereum, LINKs very functionality allows for the smartcontracts to be trustless, which means they can't replace LINK with their own oracles. Without the decentralization of oracles, the smartcontracts become useless. Then the contracts might as well stay on their current systems.

Now, who's the members of Hyperledger?

SWIFT, for one. And to name a few others;

The essence of a smart contract is that it is trustless if you think LINK alone is the only coin with this application you are laughably wrong. Ethereum already has running trustless smart contracts, along with MANY other coins. There is no evidence that chainlink has partnerships with ANY of the companies you have listed.

No wonder you didn't invest. You obviously haven't even bothered to spend 30 minutes to read through the whitepaper, or understand what LINK is.

The reason big business hasn't been able utilize smartcontracts yet is because as of today, the smartcontracts aren't able to be fed information from outside of its respective blockchain. What solves that problem? Oracles. What solves that problem securely? Decentralized oracles. Which project is the only one that is only months away from launching its finished product? LINK.

I have a PhD in crypto economics and mathematics. Crypto incentives in Chainlink are a legitimate concern. I saw Ari Juels speak at a conference recently where he mentioned tokens and asked him about the token economics of a node staking system like the Chainlink network is planning to use. The problem is that node operator incentives are fuzzy at best and not even figured out fully by the team (see the gitter for Steve stuttering about this). When I brought it up to Ari Juels, I told him that in the way the network is expected to be used, the fees payable to node operators would actually decline as requests become more ubiquitous because as the network grows it becomes cheaper to use. This makes sense if you took a few advanced cryptoeconomics courses. Ari admitted that it was a great question but that they were "actively pursuing research in that area." I sold my LINK immediately after that and saw a significant dump on the binance charts. It's pretty clear these guys are pulling you along making you think they're doing something revolutionary when the incentives aren't even fully determined yet.

Smart contracts on the ETH network cannot interact with off chain data on APIs. You know all of those data providers that keep track of stock prices, shipping information, insurance rates and the like? They are beginning to shift to providing that info via APIs (look up PSD2 to see how the financial industry is basically being forced to adopt APIs). None of this information can be accessed by current smart contracts without oracles. But, a centralized oracle is vulnerable to exploitation. If an API maintaining stock prices was hacked, it would be easy to send faulty data to a centralized oracle which could end up in a lot of money being lost/misappropriated. Decentralized link oracles (which will also utilize trusted hardware solutions as that field progresses) provide extra security, because they will be connected to multiple data sources, and they will have to reach consensus before passing data into a smart contract.

Buisnesses have and are utilizing smart contracts today actually. Consider Salt Lending that works ontop of ethereum with its own blockchain as well.

>What solves that problem? Oracles. What solves that problem securely? Decentralized oracles.
There is still a systemic risk with this model that doesn’t make it a solution. These oracles will still depend on data from singular sources such as the event of a horse race the winner will be announced by the host of the race(single source off-chain). The most pragmatic solution is to create your own blockchain ontop of an existing network like Ethereums for security.
This is the way business will go and operate. Chainlink is almost certaintly an abandon project.

I'm gonna tell you something. There is not, I will guarantee, going to be another decentralised oracle network up and running for AT LEAST three years. That's 3 years of FMA and network entrenchment that any newcomer will have to go up against. On top of that, any newcomer will have to either train up an entire new cohort of node operators, or incentivise ChainLink node operators to do both. This is going to be unbelievably difficult. I would say that LINK has the most untouchable FMA of any coin I can think of in the space. I'd bet 0.5BTC on it if there was a way to put it in smart contract form.

This will all come out in the wash over the next few years, but changing any of those parameters has a significant effect on token price. That's why anyone asking for specific price predictions should go fuck themselves and do more research.

You shouldn’t get so emotional about opposing views, especially when investing. To me it doesn’t boil down to the techs efficacy for chainlink. I understand chainlinks promise, I personally believe that a two man team will not achieve this goal, that the chainlink project has been mostly abandon, and that it will be surpassed by competitors if it has not been already. There is no working prototype to examine.

But you believe in a centralized solution reliant on tech that's still prone to major exploits? Something doesn't add up.

As it stands, the only solution to the oracle problem is decentralization, trusted hardware , or a combination of both. Chain link falls into the third category, and as >>6670115 points out, they're really the only ones who have progressed on establishing a decentralized node network.

Is it a gamble to some degree? Of course it is, it's crypto currency. But I've invested money I can afford to lose.

I will agree that the 2 man team can seem off putting, but some big conferences are coming up this year that can easily put those doubts to rest.

I'm not emotional about my investment, I'm emotional about you, trying to pass off opinions/fud as in depth research. That you don't even seem to know about the problems with trusted hardware, speaks to your overall lack of knowledge on this issue.

You're literally referring to a lack of hype, when the information that has come out has been insanely bullish (ZeppelinOS is HUGE, absolutely huge, although most peopl edon't get it yet). The fact that smartcontract.com didn't even bother to announce Zeppelin says an insane amount about this project.

>surpassed by competitors

Don't be put off by the shitposting. Linkies (myself included) just got addicted to the drama of the AssBlaster saga. Now they're in withdrawal. Making recycled FUD memes is just methadone until there's new news, or the mooning starts.

That's all the shilling is, people are hooked. The big picture is still intact: the coin has tremendous potential, and it's wait-and-see time now because the project is being developed without any hype from the team. The memes have honestly become an art form at this point, they mutate every day and it's a full time job to keep up.

90% of the FUD is obviously by linkies. The memes here don't affect the price at all though. Whales control most of the token in a small number of wallets, it'll only go up when they let it, or developments (test/main net, etc.) catalyze an increase.

The main role of the memes is to make holding entertaining rather than boring, helps everyone keep strong hands.

Also, how weird is it being in the 'pre-awareness' faze of a coin's life? This coin is not on the radar at all yet.
