In case you're still unsure about the importance of mainstream smart contracts, here's a report by Capgemini Consulting (one of Europe's biggest management consulting companies):
https://www.febelfin.be/sites/default/files/InDepth/smart-contracts.pd_.pdf
(or google "Smart Contracts in Financial Services: Getting from Hype to Reality")

Smartcontract.com (=Chainlink) and Sergey Nazarov are mentioned by name multiple times as the only providers of smart contracts that can use external data.

>> No.3813423

A few excerpts:

>Sometimes, external inputs such as prices, performance, or other real-world data may be required to process a transaction, and oracle services help smart contracts with inputs such as these.

Chainlink (Smartcontract.com) is the only player in the entire report that is associated with oracles.

>> No.3813440

>>3813423
shhhh let them sell us their bags anon

>> No.3813445

The Gartner research paper stated that Sergey already has lined up top tier data providers ready to go to provide data to the ChainLink ecosystem.

>> No.3813449

Here's an excerpt from the report talking about the need for smart contract solutions to have low-threshold integration, to save on costs:
>Smart contracts need to be integrated with the industry’s existing systems, raising significant questions about the effort involved and the investment that will be required.
>Thomas Hardjono, CTO at MIT Connection Science, believes that it is a key cost component that needs to be factored in early on.
>“When a company, a big bank or a big company is trying to bring in new technology, this integration is a cost item”

Chainlink (Smartcontract.com) is VERY low-threshold for industry players, as it's basically a plug&play add-on thanks to its decentralized network.

Yeah no shit Chainlink is going to be huge.

It will partner with all smart contract platforms (eth, neo, qtum, ubiq, lisk etc)

I'd say it is probably one of the best long term potentials right now. Who cares what it is dipping at right now if it is gonna be huge down the road, buy the fucking dip

At first they were being their usual idiotic self, still clinging to OMG and the old guard like ETH and BTC.
Firmly investing their egos in whatever they know and trust, so they view promising newcomers like LINK with distrust and derision.

Not sure if things have changed by now.

I went balls deep on the 7500sat dip yesterday. Feels good. 20k LINK rdy.

It is actually funny how people rather invest in generic shitcoins all over instead of taking the time and assessing the big potential here, only to FOMO in near the top and panic selling at the first dip.

2x is a 100% safe bet in the next weeks
3x is still very conservative evaluation
5x until december is expected
10x would be a bit unrealistic but not out of reach in a 6 month time frame

Not everyone has $50,000 lying around in savings they can afford to throw into crypto. Some people take longer to accumulate because they rely on weekly paychecks to fund their investments.

Very first line of that SWIFT document:
>Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) and Smart Contracts (SC) promise to transform automation in the financial industry, and are generating huge interest amongst financial institutions and technology providers.

Nicely outlines the two main pillars: DLT and Smart Contracts.

So its like the bitcoin mining, they get paid for every piece of data they provide?

And then the node operators sell them and then what?

They would be bought by the general public. So how do they get back into a position to be paid to the data providers again?

Okay I found out how it works from the white paper.

Basically whoever is running the smart contract buys the LINK off the open market and then pays it to the data feed operator.

They do this continuously and most likely automatically.

No they don't, if they had they would've announced it by now. Hosting your own sad little event right next to SIBOS, on the same fucking day screams desperation. It's a last resort strategy, they're TRYING to steal attention from the big boys.

Definitely sell OMG to go into LINK. I'm not as sure about ARK -- likely also undervalued at this point, though not to the same degree. There's something to be said for spreading your bets at least a little bit though
