At the time there were no other attempts at decentralized oracles, and if you thought about it you realized that for all this smart contract hype to mean anything, you were going to need good oracles. Also, LINK had been doing smart contract stuff for a while, and had the Swift connection already. So I put $50,000 into LINK's presale. Sadly I sold it all around 60 cents.

it was as simple as that smart contracts and all these blockchain networks basically have no use case if they can't access real world data, and with chainlink having a monopoly on this functionality (and everything that this entails) it was inevitable that it'd become the one

It was the only project taking on the massive structural problem of oracles, when everyone else was still fixated on muh platform TPS, and it had crypto's first peer reviewed academic whitepaper at a time when other projects were putting out absolute piece of shit whitepapers.
That was enough to know it was on another tier. Plus the SWIFT connection and the complete lack of bagholder handholding and you just got a totally different vibe from LINK than from anything else. Professional, serious, no bullshit, no hype, and long term vision.
At a time when anyone could print an ERC 20 and hype it to a 20x, what these guys were doing was the polar opposite of the entire hype sphere.

i read the whitepaper and it made complete sense to replace all of the convoluted jewish 'data fidelity' middleman schemes that currently run the contracting world with a quantized unit of account and perfectly impartial machine middlemen. We've been replacing human labor with that of plants, animals, other humans, and machines since prehistory so why would we stop at contracts?

originally the memes were good enough that it got my attention, then the guys shilling it in the dedicated shill threads were able to counter any fud that came up with good answers. after reading many threads and discussing it on here it was pretty clear that it was a good investment. to be able to make this judgment i think you needed to be able to read 4chan effectively, and understand distributed/blockchain tech to the extent that you can comprehend the oracle problem. nowadays it's not that hard to do the latter, but back then it put a lot of people off. sucks to be them.

never been so sure of something in all my life and it wasn't larping. about the LINK and REQ bros bullshit, srsly it pissed me off at the time, i knew REQ was crap. this fucking decieving strategy was held many times by many projects, the latests being DMG RLC PNK HOLO DEVRY i mean fuck all those shitcoins; link has always been unique, it's not just another money grab shitcoin. it's the next step the blockchain needs to achieve not other project has the innovation it brings, im not even sure we can call this innovation, it's so ground breaking it's tearing a new hole to the blockchain.

many link "marines" have fallen to the diversification meme, fucking idiots, they hold something they still don't know the full extent of. yes i'm talking to you faggots holding fantom adn aave Tezos and shit. srsly grow the fuck up, chainlink Is going to be bigger than even BTC.

chainlink was my ONLY fucking hold since 2017 i alkmost got divorced because of it had so many problems in my life, i literally quit my job gave the finger to my boss in 2018 because i knew link was my salvation. and just started to pour every fucking cent in link.

Two things.
1) Biz KEPT talking about and debating it. People would say it was shit for one reason or another, and then others would tear the fud to shreds. Lots of people on Biz get SUPER emotionally invested in their crypto, and not just biz, also ark, neo, digibyte. That seems to contradict centuries of advice about being “cold and calculating” when investing, BUT, the crazies on biz all DEBATE with each other, and the emotional investment drives that debate.
2) People were talking about 4IR and constantly dropping breadcrumbs to papers about how smart contracts were going to change everything. 95% of the interesting info, e.g. report from world bank or something, related to chain link. Basically everything else, ALL the other white papers, were about how you the project was going to revolutionize blockchain by making it possible to blockchain a blockchain with one touch of a blockchain and then (mumble mumble) that was going to blockchain the whole blockchain. Most projects just had NO fucking discussion of how they were going to solve a problem out there in the world, they were all super inward looking. Or, they claimed to solve a real world problem but they were just stupid: see e.g. dentacoin and like 50 trillion other bullshit projects.

T. Lawyer who actually learned about smart contracts from biz and now thinks they are going to change everything.

Assuming no LARP — and you sure as fuck don’t sound like you are LARPING — you helped a ton of people man. You fucking did.

I know because I bet I was one of the people who read your posts back then.

Actually, this anon is the answer to OPs question. For just about every other project, back then it was just anons talking bullshit about how they found the latest pump and dump.

But with LINK, you saw anons like this one. Fucking fanatics. Fucking beautiful fanatics. I STILL think about the dude who was in school but talked about working extra shifts delivering pizza so he could put a few bucks into link every week. I fucking KNOW that anon is going to make it.

Out of the crazy shit that is biz, and all the insane schizos on here, people talking about link KEPT coming back to fundamentals. How it would change finance, and change supply chain and change everything. People would Constantly try to fud, and the fud would just get shot down NOT by insults but by anons taking it apart step by fucking step with logic.

Back in 2017 I knew the next big thing was going to be external connectivity for blockchain/smart contracts.
Before Link I chased a couple of projects that went in that direction; but when Link showed up on my radar it became really obvious.
Went 50% at presale/ICO, and then all-in by the end of September 2017.

That's what got me in.
What kept me in was the hypelessness. The opposite of what Vitalik's pet projects were doing (OMG etc.)

Link was just another shitcoin in the ico craze of 2017 but it originally stood out because of the swift “partnership”, Sergey being involved in crypto mail, and Ari being former rsa.
Sibos hype led to lots of memes and disappointment, wojaks, and fud.

But it just would not die. The idea behind the project was too strong. No matter how much fud got put out, there was some sort of revelation that could be reached through discussion and thinking. It soon became clear that Sergey had thought of everything. There was no way to describe a future in where blockchains prevailed and oracles didn’t accrue value.

And it just took off from there. Breadcrumb hunting was intense. I have never worked so collectively well with a group before. All of us hunting for tidbits of information, sharing it, and painting ourselves a picture gave us all enough confidence that we were on the right path.

Checked friend. Those were the days. It was a relief but also a sad moment when the discussion threads died out because everything had been discussed to death. The picture was complete and further investigation not needed. This was very hard to fathom for newfags and screeching no-linkers, who claimed LINK was dead because no one wanted to spoonfeed.

I've got 20K jnt, 3k req and link somewhere between those two.

Req I never did have that much faith on, but jnt seemed legit with don tapscott and sheikh's backing. Turns out guys are not conmen, but just two confused young dudes with no real use case after the "reserve coin" meant for tokenizing assets into ground.

a thing that no one's mentioned yet was the whole "chainlink crypto fund" hedge fund episode from Jan 18 - a bunch of Americans formed a fund called "chainlink crypto fund" with 20 people putting 20k each into it or something, & biz being weaponised autism somehow spotted the sec filing (you can Google it). some anon actually telephone one of the named people to ask, shit was hilarious. they denied the name was connected to link but I mean, come on. that and many other breadcrumbs had me all in by mid 2018. like another anon said I regret not selling my req stack for link when they were the same price. I could have had so much more link had I committed earlier when it was still obvious. oh well. assblaster was also a significant part of it - no other project has this much lore AND clearly this much importance & utility

It just made sense, it solves a fundamental problem that allows smart contracts to see real world use. Reading the whitepaper and then reading some of the insane threads in the early days was more than enough to go all in. I never got into the presale or ICO but bought some in the sibos dump.

Those talking about how people went all in REQ, JNT etc are right, many did. But those on biz who were thinking and discussing all had a big bag of LINK by mid-2018.

Chainlink was always different.. Sergey's background, SIBOS two years running, links with Gonser, the radio silence during the bullrun and general professionalism. For those who took their time and researched and savagely discussed (INTPs etc) then it was always clear.

I was browsing /biz/ well in 2017, and noticed LINK the first time in November. The first time I actually looked into it was after it dumped from $1.15 to 17 cents or something, and the FUD was so strong like anything that I have seen before and I dug into it. And you could tell it was very demoralizing, nothing like today where most of the oldfags dont post anymore, and when they do they dont even try anymore as they all are - its all so tiresome.

The oldfags who made it are high IQ.

Startups have a 1-in 1500 chance in actually succeeding, and Chainlink became the most recent unicorn of all unicorns.

Critical thinking certainly played a part especially during the early days of FUD and it's various manifestations. Not to mention, the benefits incurred for being situationally aware of the hive mind and collective intelligence.

Most people in the early days, including some of the early OGs, worked with a passion and fervor that can only be described as an individual and later collective religious experience. Low IQ people were too distracted by pie in the Sky project ideas that had no chance of actually making it. High IQ people understood that money belly worked on this project and silence for more than 5 years and operated in stealth during the 2017 Mania. There is tremendous value in paying attention. Luck also helps.

I remember once I was in Belgium near the Atomium and I saw the license plate 777 3 times from 3 separate cars in under an hour in 2018, and I intuitively knew that there was something more esoteric to this project. Mind you, even before this event, I was a fan of the project in '17 and had a decent sized bag, and so the event and the probabilistic chance of the license plates appearing to me with such consistency at that time were low and that was even more convincing to me.

I think a lot of people can explain at least one serendipitous event associated with being a fan of this project; and honestly, it might have been at that time a potential leak in the time-space continuum allowing for me an early heads-up dirty idea on the implication of this project later on in the future were aligned and spot on.

Thank you, Kek. I will do good in this world.

I’m in talks with a lawyer about legally setting up this exact thing for xx network like we did then. However, newfags will call it a scam and instead go deposit their crypto into COMP and uniswap shitcoins not realizing that Chainlink is just nothing without the layer 1 network to support decentralized oracles. Ari is the sole reason people trusted LINK. Coinbase is why people trust COMP.

But you guys don’t trust Chaum, the literal person who pioneered crypto... cucks ahahahaha

FYI lattice based systems for diophantine approximation were created by Jews, passed down to Jews and then exposed as faulty by Ari and markus.

I am unironically an INTJ and this message hit me to the core.

Undeniably it was one of the most fun Sherlock Holmes exercises in deductive reasoning during the time when the team did not talk to the community. Many low IQ people wanted their hands held as they could not stand the radio silence.

High IQ understood silence is golden, and the FUD was the cherry on top. Now imagine how similar dynamics in communication operate in the meatbased clusterfuck we have on our hands for 2020.

If you truly understood smart contracts, you quickly realized their unimaginable potential. You would also bump into "the oracle problem" pretty soon through this realization. If you truly understood the oracle problem, you understood how important it is to do it in a decentralized manner. If this was solved, it would mean truly infinite amount of new use cases and whole new markets forming on top of them. Chainlink was the only oracle solution back then, but it also happened to be one that was decentralized and very carefully thought through. If chainlink became the standard oracle, all of these transactions would go through it. Potential for literally trillions of dollars of value flowing through everyday.

Anyone with a little time spent googling or lurking in biz would've found the connections to Swift, Gartner, IC3, Microsoft, WEF and all that. This was unprecedented in 2017 when crypto was considered a joke. This was the first signal for me.

Then you looked into the team and their work. In the world of hype, announcements, pumpamentals and roadmaps, chainlink was completely silent, pushing updates on github like maniacs. You could also easily pick up Sergey's child like excitement from presentations. This was the second signal for me.

The amount of love and hate chainlink received here was insane. Greatest memes, larps and fud ever made. It was clear that someone was spending a lot of energy to both shit on this project and to shill it. Former was a lot more prominent, but anyone with a decent bullshit filter would've seen through it. None of the fud ever held water when scrutinized. This was the third signal for me.

Over time the rabbit hole got deeper. Gpi link, plaid link, ari juels, api economy, obscure esoterism, the list goes on. There was just too much bullish weirdness to it, just like with ethereum and bitcoin in early days. In late 2017 I went all in. I still hold 95% of my stack.

This picture is about the time I went all in. Everything just kept clicking and eventually I was like holy shit this is the real thing, either crypto as a whole goes to 0 or this is the catalyst for the 4ir. No other way of looking at it once you've come to that realization. I feel angry at myself for only getting 50k but now you get called a larp for claiming to have that much because nobody would seriously put 20k usd in something with such little info at the time. But it wasn't little info, it was all there with just a little haze so you have to blink and wipe the tinge of doubt out of the way before it becomes clear.

I missed the bull run just barely for btc to 20k. I lurked biz but just never had skin in the game. I asked myself, given the discussions on biz at the time, what is the next big thing. Smart contracts. I am poor by burger standards so I set a goal of 500 link so I could sell at $200, which assblaster predicted, and it would pay off my home. I expected higher prices quicker but now I expect even higher prices more slowly. With the price lower i was able to get over 1k. For me its good

The same way I know Orion Protocol is going to 1000x in the next 2 years. Chainlink solves a huge problem in the entire market. You either have to build your own expensive solution which can take years and fail, or you can buy a solution someone already made and integrate it in a few months. Which is more attractive to businesses that roll off their costs to their customers?

for me its when i looking into bitcoin's potential market cap, went to the bitcoin wikipedia page, and at the bottom it was talking about how theres speculation that 10% of the global GDP could be captured in digital currencies by the mid to late 2020s, then i looked up where that info came from, it was from klaus schwab's book the fourth industrial revolution. i read a bit about bitcoin in there and he gave a shoutout to smartcontract.com, i went to that website and realized it was the company behind the crypto that was being shilled on /biz/, i had seen its memes before and thought they were quality but didn't pay too much attention to link because literally everything being shilled on /biz/ was the next moonshot

i lurked in link threads for a bit and asked them about the klaus schwab stuff and how the jews that run planet earth have an eye on link and what was up with that, and a couple of people were like "Just fucking buy link right now you retard, do it no matter what." so i bought some link right then and there in late january/early february of 2018 and started buying as much as i could throughout the entire year and i started shilling link too.

my logic was that /biz/ might be good at finding hidden gems because i was new to crypto and had heard that people got in antshare/neo and eth early on, but if klaus schwab was talking about the company behind chainlink years before /biz/ was, thats a seal of approval.

i thought 99% of crypto/blockchain companies were out right scams most of it sounded stupid as fuck and useless. then i found out SWIFT had invited link to SIBOS and you have SWIFT and the WEF shilling link, plus all the shilling on /biz/ and it seemed like a sure bet.

>I remember once I was in Belgium near the Atomium and I saw the license plate 777 3 times from 3 separate cars in under an hour in 2018, and I intuitively knew that there was something more esoteric to this project. Mind you, even before this event, I was a fan of the project in '17 and had a decent sized bag, and so the event and the probabilistic chance of the license plates appearing to me with such consistency at that time were low, and that was even more convincing to me.

Can we appreciate the fact we have LMFG describing their magical experience with the repetition of '777' and a '777' get comes up in our thread?

What are the odds of that?

Chainlink literally cucked my wife while coinbase held my funds. We were trying to get pregnant in early 2018 when some glorious anon posted a dank meme on /pol/ and i literally could not get it up to fuck my wife until i had at least a couple grand sunk into LINK. We laugh about it now, but she was pissed at the time. As soon as i had 10k, tension just left me and we could fuck again.

I was so certain even then, and I'm no less certain now. Just significantly more tired now that i have 2 little runts keeping us up at night.

Meme magic is around us. I feel comfy vibes I haven't felt since I first had the "aha" moment concerning LINK in '18 after the new website launch in July of that year. I want someone to hold me. In fact, the level of comfiness is indescribable.

I very nearly ended up with no LINK as the ICO dropped while I was wagecucking and then I rushed home only to find it had sold out completely in 20 minutes. Managed to pick up 10k a few days later on etherdelta for not too much over the ICO price though

I also had a big bag of REQ at that point but I sold it when I saw the team was a bunch of lazy frogs and niggers and stuck it all in LINK. I haven't sold a single one of my 36k linkies and I still buy more every week.

It was obvious link was a great idea at the time but I was put off from investing more than 10k at the time because of the amount of scams in the crypto space. That is another reason why I'm still happy buying link at 4 dollars and you should be too. It has been derisked - we know it is not an exit scam and main net is indeed going to work

Exactly. I would say that before the 7777777 get in Feb 2018 the original marines thought the price would reach about $350-$400 at the top but as with /biz/'s predictions for BTC and ETH their price predictions were always underestimated.

For groups to think or do anything, only through a collective need or dream can it be manifested into reality. That's when people get together, share ideas and visions, and in a good atmosphere, come up with things that work. Only a group with collective ideas and vision can produce anything.

After spending a good three years of creative creative brainstorming, after getting the basic Idea and using powerful brainstorming technique for better productivity, energy and our worth as people, groups begin to exist.

Out of nothing, groups spontaneously form.

I just sank 2 grand in when it was at 50 something cents. Didn't have a fucking clue what I was doing, I was just doing what /biz/ told me to do. I had an argument with my boss one day and I thought to myself 'fuck that cunt, I need to plan for the future' so I opened a shares account at my bank. I came to /biz/ for the first time for advice, but I only came across crypto threads.

Took me a while to shake off the 'magic internet money' vibe, but when it was time to put my money down, Link was the only choice for me. The memes are delicious.

When your dreams begin to come true at first you experience an understandable degree of skepticism. You are accustomed to your quotidian wagecuck after all, and hope for better days but rarely ever do you decide to do anything about it.

The people who made it with LINK early on were different. They wanted to take control, to change the status quo, to assert their dominion and to see if others could be left alone to work on their own. It was a long fight that put their lives on the line by working as collective anons but the gel that which we are united is seamless and enabled the LINK Marine community to achieve what only blockchain communities dream of.

Every smart contracts needs fucking LINK and with the way protocols work on blockchain they get super fucking valuable.

Even though this thread already has 200+ replies I guess I'll chime in my thoughts as someone who has been unironically only buying and holding like since late 2017-present

I have been involved in crypto markets since maybe 2014? Started with me buying drugs on the dark web to sell to college kids my freshman year of college. I was using "cool magic internet money" to buy them which led me to discovering a wider range of cryptocurrencies. At that time, everything else was just a different version of bitcoin to me. I had discovered /biz/ through a friend who was shilling me this crypto called "Ethereum" sometime in 2016 and told me that /biz/ was where everyone talked about it. At the time I didn't know shit about about crypto so Ethereum was just another version of Bitcoin with a cool logo and name. I was obsessed with buying random shitcoins because I had a mentality of "why would I buy Ethereum and get a x4 if I'm lucky when I can buy trumpcoin and get a x1000?" God, what a fucking idiot I was. Anyhow, 2017 came and I missed my shot at becoming a literal millionaire at the age of 19 because of my obsession with buying/selling shitcoins constantly, which netted me probably only close to 10k during the 17 run.

When Bitcoin was nearing 20k, and having witnessed it climb from $200, I knew the whole charade was going to be over soon and being so defeated missing my chance on Ethereum decided I was going to come back to /biz/ to find "the next Ethereum". This is around the time I discovered Chainlink. I can still remember the first "Aha!" moment, the epiphany I had when I first started getting an elementary understanding of it.

Its difficult to say what exactly it was that first peaked my interest in link, but if I had to pin it on anything, it was just how much link investors reminded me of early Ethereum investors. It was this fanatical, absolutely crazy and sometimes even delusional fan base. During 2017, and even now, most projects wanted to hype as much as possible. It all felt very inorganic. The smartcontract team never did any of that. The pure unadulterated excitement just felt totally organic.

and much like early ETH investors, you could not tell them a damn thing. Most projects, if anyone brought up a concern or issue regarding the team or the project, it was almost always met with "DONT LISTEN TO THE FUD, HES JUST FUDDING BECAUSE MUH CHEAP ACCUMULATION LISTEN TO ME! ME! ME! IM HERE TO HELP YOU!" With link, you had actual discussion, and I could tell with their vernacular that the anons debating it knew far more than I could dream at that period of time. It was at a point where LINK investors were quite literally copying+pasting their favorite FUD because they found it funny, and they knew no one could touch their gem of an investment. It was a type of hubris that is just unmatched in any financial market.

For god sake, even the CEO was memed heavily just as Vitalik was back in the day with protein powder and jokes of money skelly and russian scam artist.

And then assblaster came along, and he really helped jumpstart my understanding of it. Peace be upon him because he changed my life.

Im still sitting on a comfy stack and I still haven't sold. I've grown older and have learned a lot. Fate almost had it out for me. If I made it with Ethereum, I would have blew the money of a nice sports cars and expensive watches etc. I needed to wait and grow for this opportunity. The less I started to care for money and materialism the more I started to attract it.

I feel our time coming soon and I am at total peace with it. Be good to yourselves.

My first buy was Dec 2017 for .63 and boy I was so happy. The 1000 EOY memes got me good, but favorite one of pepe in the champagne glass "taste of success" is what really did it.

From that point on I've held. Almost 900 days.

I didn't really give a shit until I watched Sergeys Ocean protocol video I think, where he said he'd been scamming people, I mean working on Smartcontracts for like 5+ years.

Opportunities to find the next bitcoin don't occur very often, and rarely ever does the so-called investor do what they must do in order to achieve what the great ones are able to achieve.

I unfortunately missed the boat on bitcoin as I bought in '16, but I faired off well by buying Ether at $5 in 2016, and Antshares which later became NEO at 40 cents on Bittrex in the summer of '17. I quit wagecucking. Later, DCA'd about 40 btc into LINK with an avg buy in of 50 cents in '18.

Why did I make the investment? It is in these circumstance's that I felt at home. The obscurity and intellectual hunt of LMFG closely matches what I experienced in the early days.

f I were to describe to you how it feels to have walked the journey so far -- I would start crying. The journey has given me the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. The end achievement would just be two percent of the equation. 98% of the satisfaction and exhilaration lies in enduring the path that leads to it. Which I have been doing every day - rain or shine, awake or tired for four years now...and which I plan to continue doing for as long as I live.

I was working for a cloud computing company reviewed by Gartner on a yearly basis. I knew Gartner.

Saw the SmartContract.com website had a Gartner CoolVendor review.

They showcased worked for Swift, I knew swift.

I did research into what they were trying to do. I understood it.

Read white paper, made sense.

I looked up the team, seemed solid. Sergey had several well spoken and intelligent interviews and talks.

Saw the ICO sell out with no marketing, I bought on Ether Delta.

Wave 1: trustless, shared ledger.

Wave 2: trustless, shared ledger that can store programs.

Wave 3: trustless, shared ledgers that can store programs and access other ledgers and external APIs.

Each wave is a new narrative that ropes in a wider group of investors. This time, there will be buzz of autonomous DApps, their limitations, and what kinds of automation Oracles will allow. The sharing economy idea will he used to sell it by bringing the sharing economy to data. Smarter people will see more of the dream that is being sold and will evangelize it.

You should be looking at the meta of crypto as a sellable story and looking for the coin that looks both reputably developed and central to the next wave's sales narrative. If it also works, that's a bonus.

You could also try to spot the patterns of sentiment and calendar trends to swing trade, but you'll probably die of stress or lose most of your life to watching them.

I think there were three parts to it, and they kind of go in order:

1. The Oracle Problem matters

^ This is a big step that started to get people onboard. Smart contracts were hyped for all these use cases like insurance/derivatives, but they all rely on external data and single point of failure data sources totally defeat the point of using blockchain for the contract. One people understood this, it definitely makes you start to think that solving this problem is important, and probably pretty valuable down the road.

2. Chainlink is the right project for the job

^ Even if you believe point #1, you could still have doubts about chainlink. This was a harder one. The FUD back then was more plausible (small team etc), but this is when we all started reading the whitepaper, learning about Ari, sperging out in threads, looking at breadcrumbs.... as time went on it became clear this was a good project, or at least much better than any of the other competitors, and for a while there were like zero competitors.

3. Meme quality.

^ Everyone is gonna say this, but the truth is memes happened for a reason, and the reason was points #1 and #2 were really solid and got more solid over time. That gave foundation to people's belief in the project, and then the memes/larps etc kept getting momentum
