I am creating a LINK Timeline for a project.

Please submit all Events/Memes/FUD you remember.

You don't even have to go into detail, i will search trough the archives myself.

Examples:
> "GIVE ME BACK MY LINK AHHHHH"
> roughly between ICO and Dec. 2017
> harmless Twitter (or was it TUMBLR) Link redirected to Etherdelta and stole your LINK

> Toilet FUD
> Some LINK presentation was next to the toilets = stinky

Something that is never discussed is that before the alpha node there was a genuine expectation they would straight up exit scam like REQ. The ICO was a shitshow and communication was terrible

I'm actually more qualified to talk about this than most anons.I'm employed with a cyber-techno machinations company,I do a lot of security analyst programming type work. Open source, decentralized, APIs, partnerships, you name it. We'd be one of the first companies in line for something like Chainlink, if the decentralized smart contract space had more value over traditional data exchanges. There's a catch though, an underlying flaw more deeply embedded in the bedrock of LINK than the very code itself. The flaw is with the concept, and it's this: Companies won't actually go through the hassle of trusting their data API's through crypto.

Now I can already hear your keyboards going frantic, but hear me out. /biz/ hates banks, and traditional data providers. But actual companies, businesses, and investors do not. There's an old saying you might have heard of: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!". The idea that any of our bosses would give us the go ahead if we approached them to put our companies valuable data in a smart contract on a cryptocurrency called Chainlink, that they've never heard of, we'd be laughed out at best and fired on the spot at worst. We already have API data buyers and providers we trust.

'But Chainlink is trustless!' I hear you cry, but is that really a good thing? Just listen to the sound of it. Businesses don't want to spend millions of dollars on something that is trustLESS, they want something trustFUL. 'But the reputation system!', doesn't that defeat the whole point of your coin? If companies only trust nodes with high reputation, what's the difference between trusting banks and data providers that already have reputation, but in real life not on a computer screen.

The fact is, LINK is going to share the same fate as ETH will. A lot of 'real world application' hype, with a lot of 'crypto world application' reality. Only, this billion supply coin isn't going to come close to the $1k that Etherum hit.
