How did Chainlink burn through $30mil and why do they need $millions more with these dumps?

>> No.15007783

>>15007757
Paying salaries
Legal consultations for compliance
Travel costs for dev team
purchasing Town Crier
giving out links for node operators
electricity and rent for office
tax

30 million is almost nothing in the business world

its not necessarily that they need the money, but they want the money. You pumped it to 4 billion $ evaluation at the highest point and they own 3 billion, did u expect them not to cashout and be set for life?

the only reasonable person posting in this thread

do the rest of you retards seriously believe that a startup company wouldnt cash out after existing for 2 years and being live on mainnet for less than 6 months?
its so obvious they know they already reached the peak of their company and are slowly cashing out all reserves.
why the fuck would the chainlink team have any reason to continue the company after 2 entire years? its been far too long. its over, they know it, we know it, everyone knows it.

So they can get an increasingly interested population (businesses most likely) enough supply to be a part of the network without impacting the open speculative market, while also not being seen as "those greedy assholes" that held their funding stack into the hundreds of billions of dollars?

>> No.15008107

As just one point of contact, how much does an office in San Francisco cost per year, 3 mill? 5? 10? Depends on how big the office is but it's been 2 years of that alone.

Plus how do you know they even sold? They moved it to binance but they could just be waiting. My bet is they know they have something big coming up where the price will increase and want to secure funding during that period.

Town Crier acquisition. Basically, most of the money went to Sergey's pals at IC3 who created Town Crier. One of them is Ari Juels, who actually wrote most of the whitepaper.

Now you may ask 'was Town Crier worth anything at the time of its acquisition?' The answer is NO. Town Crier was literally a science project funded by the National Science Foundation. NO ONE would want to buy this shit. The acquisition was just a means of cashing out ICO money without hurting the reputation of the Cornell professors who work on IC3.
