Let's think through the recent elaborate FUD logically.

Clearly there is no actual substance to the FUD, so I won't dwell too much on that. Let's think about the motivation of the people who wrote it.

It could just be someone entertaining themselves, a 4channer. However, they've put a lot of time and money into this

-Website purchase in Dec 2019
-Attempted to purchase a Zeus Capital twitter handle a few weeks ago
-Paid for a hacked list of chainlink ICO participants

Based on the above, it's clear that the goal of the writers was to have a substantial negative effect on the price of Chainlink.

Given that, there are two possible theories.

1) Classic market manipulation "Short and distort". Short something, put out fake negative news on it, hopefully make money. However Chainlink is not a good coin to do this with. It's highly liquid and mostly held by whales so you're not going to manage to get much shorting gains. Also given it's so volatile lately shorting is not that attractive/chance you get margin called. Based on that I'd say shorting is out of the question for their motivation.

Which brings
2) They themselves are buying large amounts of LINK and want to limit their impact.

Think about it. The recent pump started in China. China is setting up BSN nodes which use Chainlink. Clearly there are some MASSIVE Chinese buyers. The website also has a chinese translation which suggests the makers are Chinese.

When you put it all together, this explanation makes the most sense. There's a huge Chinese buyer who put out that report to limit the impact they're having.

Bulllish AF. There is more news coming, and a Microsoft partnership at the end of August. Strap in boys.

Have you ever fudded a coin? Believe it or not there are enough real humans out there that actually don't think that Link is going to revolutionize the world. Crazy, I know. But not really considering the market cap is a literal drop in the bucket in the investment world. To think that your coin is impervious to fudding because it's just so great is pure delusion, especially after a huge pump that no one seems to care to explain.

Regarding the Zeus article, note how no one actually refutes the points made in it. They just attack Zeus Capital.

Believing so desperately that when your investments price drops, is actually because people are trying to stifle the price to buy more is an incredibly ridiculous and bold claim, and bold claims require bold evidence. Linkies are amongst the most hysterical of all holders, and live on hype rather than fundamentals (which should always be the most important thing to debate but is never discussed) which makes these threads a dime a dozen. Just hype and lambos. Same with XRP.

As for China, the Chinese actually hold a shitton of crypto, so I wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of Chinamen are buying in.

Actually, the points they made are so bad and they have been frequently debunked. Here are just a few examples of points they made which are blatantly wrong.

-Claim Chainlink is still on testnet, which is not true. They have been on the ethereum mainnet for a year.
-Claim the team is very small and inexperienced. There are 16 key people just on the chainlink website, which doesn't include Junior devs. There are 19 spots open right now. The team includes Ari Juels who is one of the most prominent people in smart contracts and Tom Gonser as an advisor, CEO of a multi billion dollar company.


>They just attack Zeus Capital.

Zeus Capital is an asset management firm in the UK. They have never involved themselves in Crypto, and are completely uninvolved with this report. Nobody is attacking Zeus Capital. We are attacking the anonymous publishers of this website and short report who fraudulently claim to be an asset management firm called Zeus Capital.

-Why in the competitors section do they include oraclize/provable, who are using chainlink?
-Why in competitors section do they include niche players who only offer select, narrow, centralized oracles for a couple of pieces of data like Coinbase Pro, or oracles which are only used for one product like Maker?
-Why do they claim competition for chainlink is strong, yet in the competitors section admit that all competitors to chainlink have more or less no network or users?

Because the report is fake, done by discord trannies probably. But that's not the point. The point are the huge red flag you idiots won't admit, but enterprise will laugh at.

You CANNOT have a tokenomics that talks about security and reliability when 60% of the supply is at the hands of a man.
You CANNOT claim security when the network has failed twice for several hours each time, it has not been addressed, nothing has been fixed (probably it can't), and now everybody knows it can happen again.
You cannot ignore the addresses forensics that points to the team manipulating the price,
You can't deny 99.9% of partnerships do not use the token or the network and are just done for pumping the price in both sides.
You can't deny the metrics on how stupidly expensive and convoluted the whole thing is.
You can't deny the fake commits on github to fake activity (I am sw engineer, we can go into that in detail if you want - there is legit activity mixed with crap)
And so on. In summary:
Fake report from a fake group full of red flags on an extremely overvalued and flawed project. Did you make money with it? Yes. Will you continue doing so? Probably yes. Smart money involved and future adoption? Fuck no, I don't think so.

It's the one genuine bit of fud out there. The team has always been clear about what the division of funds was for, so it comes down to whether you trust the team. From following Sergey's presentations and seeing the progress and development over the years I have 100% faith in the team. The thing about CL is that it's not really a cryptocurrency. It's referred to as a crypto but its purpose is much more than just enabling a token to be sent from one place to another. I dont think the category for what CL is has been defined yet
