[Anonymous No.17559436]

By pure luck that’s exactly when I started buying. Bought some at 19 cents, 25 cents, 35 cents, 45 cents. Average buy in is 39 cents.

There were so many smart anons posting about chainlink back then, and every attempt at fud was blown the fuck out with logic and reasoning as to why chainlink will succeed. I went all in because of the based OG link anons who truly understand the implications of this tech and shared it here with us. I’m forever grateful for that opportunity

[Anonymous No.17559471]

I was interested in writing smart contracts and how do they actually work, and everywhere there was the need of LEGIT external data for them to have value.

It's hard to describe, unless you've experienced it yourself. Summer of 18 I had hit rock bottom and was ready to kill myself. Crippled by social autism I had no way of earning a decent living, and loneliness was suffocating me. Just completely done with life and was thinking about plans to do it as cleanly as possible. There was no anger or sadness left in me, I had made my peace with it, I knew I'd do it before the end of the summer after tying up loose ends. I remember going for a walk one night, my mind wandering, stumbled in front of a church and while I'm not religious, I was taken by the beauty of the architecture, and enjoying the perfect summer night breeze, there was a moment there where I asked myself if life wasn't worth giving another chance. When I went home that night for some reason I decided to go on biz, I thought if I'm gonna try this life thing again but more daringly, I should try learning about crypto because I knew about btc and eth years ago but didn't do anything because I didn't understand the crypto space. My biggest fear was being scammed, due to not being able to discern what was legit and what wasn't. My intuition recognized the obsession around link meant it was legitimate and I put the few savings I had into it. I spent the whole summer educating myself and going down the smart contract rabbit hole. Must have read hundreds of threads on the archive during that first week, it was mind blowing. The sheer scope of it all, the endless implications. Like this group had found the biggest secret in the world, but no one else was seeing it because it was hiding in plain sight. To this day it still feels surreal seeing how biz was 100% right and way ahead of any other market participants. If you had done the research you knew it was the guaranteed outcome. Now I'm financially secure but I think the autism and cult around link is what kept me alive, it's just so exciting and I want to be there to see if it succeeds long term or not.

literally this entire space is almost entirely useless without real world data on blockchains. when i learned that at the time there was no way to securely get real world onto blockchains, that chainlink was the only company making meaningful progress toward resolving the problem, and that they had no competition, i went all in. once you apprehend the oracle problem your vision becomes entirely unobstructed and there's no turning back. everything else in this space is basically irrelevant.

Got 18.7k linkies now after cashing some out over the time. Basically I was fully deluded and linkpilled and just knew that I had to hold it through since everything else was a scam, but with Chainlink everything seemed right. Was 18yo when I took this screenshot(currently 20). It was kind of a rough time holding though, but there weren't any safer money making alternatives.

Similar story here bro. 2018 was the worst year of my life. I spent half of it in either a jail cell or a hospital and already tried to kms once. But once I got out and regained some sanity, something led me to /biz/. The allure of purchasing Chainlink led me to seek a job. I met my boss while in line at the grocery store. We talked and he mentioned he owned a company, so I asked him for a job then and there. I told him I was desperate and wouldn't let him down. He called me back 2 days later. Now I'm a manager at his factory after working my way up from laborer, and hold a solid 15k LINK.

Started buying at $0.5, all the way down and back up to 0.6usd. Wish I hadn't stopped but I fell in love and did a long distance thing that ate up all my extra income. I managed to grab a nice stack but I could had much more. My thoughts when continuing to buy each week only to see it keep dropping were 'must be fucking crazy but deep inside I know this is the future, the real deal, the missing link in blockchain'.I loved the memes and made a few of my own. I mocked btc on /g/ back when I could have mined en my shit laptop. I mocked eth when it was $8. Finally decided jokes on me if I miss the boat a third time.
Maybe $30k later and I'm married now so it was expensive but I hit the jackpot twice. I'm just waiting to steak so I can retire. Even at current prices I'm out of the wagie life if we can just get 4% annually after the fees from steak pulls. Trust your gut, but more importantly, trust Sergey's gut.

LINK was a lot more fun back then. Now that my folio is pretty sizable, I just want to make it cause I hate my job.

I only had 100K at that point. I'm happy i also 2x'd during the Coinbase run. That said, I just dumped 87K LINK for more BDK.

How in the fuck do people not see this. The stage was set in 17. It's been clearly laid out the whole time, as long as you had your eyes open. Its the most blatantly obvious piece that is missing in any of this blockchain doohickies becoming a reality. That's when I market bought and told the waifu our son johny could switch to jenna.

Same. I only came onto /biz/ last summer and immediately dumped half my savings into LINK. I wish I had two years so I could have a bigger stack but hindsight is 20/20. Still grateful for being blessed with this opportunity, better late than never.

after starting with 5 k in 2016, going up to 1 mill in 2017 only to HODL that shit down to 60 K, I was thinking fuck it it's all or nothing and once the project looked convincingly good (thanks biz) I went all in - and that kids is how I became a millionaire
