>> No.7534181

Because every time a new shit coin is released, it serves to remind people that all the other shit coins have no value.

Bitcoin will have value for a little while longer because they were first out of the gate and it's the only coin most people know.

Ether will be around for a while because it's the poor man's bitcoin, and because they will get investors when bitcoin is regulated in the next few years.

The other coins are all shitcoin. They exist because someone decided to capture lightning in a bottle 1500 more times. It won't work, they're pyramid schemes.

Link has nothing to offer that the other 1500 shit coins don't already have.

Does that answer your question?

Sure I do. But what you young whippersnappers haven't learned yet is that an idea isn't worth anything. The implementation is.

You think that "block chain" automatically gives a coin value, it doesn't. You think that "smart contracts" automatically give a coin value. It doesn't.

And the reason is this... both are non-proprietary technologies. Anyone can use them.

So the Chainlink website talks about the power of blockchain and smart contracts, but it ignores the fact that people can do both without needing any of these coin.

So let's say you're a big bank. What do you do? Well, you come up with your own system, one that doesn't require you to pay Yaheeb who lives in the basement, and you just ice them out of the whole deal.

That is why most of the 1500 coins out there is shit. They all think that someone is going to pay them for a technology that is already free.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to be a chainlink investor. The hints are extrenely subtle, and without a solid grasp of the banking system most of the hints will go over a typical newfags head. There’s also Sergies optimistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from satoshi nakamoto's literature, for instance. The investors understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of this coin, to realise its not just brilliant- is can change peoplea LIVES. As a consequence people who dislike chainlink truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in sergies existential catchphrase “See you at SIBOS” which itself is a cryptic reference to the international banking conference. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as the chainlink development team's genius wit unfolds itself on their binance trading screens.

If it would cost that much for the banks, why did it not cost that much for the people who put together bitcoin and ETH?

The point is... the tech is free, anyone can use it. All that matters is the implementation.

Once the banks come up with their own version of blockchain and smart contracts, the only people who will still want to use the existing cryptos are those who deal in the black market. And there aren't enough of those people to support the coin or for it to grow to widespread use, and certainly not enough to support the current price.

Ok, let's do some math here -
Bitcoin hashrate is now around 20 million TH/s.
AntMiner S9 runs at 13.5TH/s and costs $2500 MSRP.
To run a network compatible to BTC you'd need 1,481,482 Antminers.
This makes $3,703,705,000 for hardware to keep the network running at the base level, without the pooling servers, without the masternode mainframes, without the whole internet infrastructure you need to build to make sure is accomodates these units.
Then come the connection costs, the electricity costs, maintenance costs and wages to the people working on the network.

But you're skipping over my main point... banks have no reason why they would WANT to be comparable with bitcoin.

Anything that bitcoin does, they can already do. Any technology that bitcoin improves on, they can use for free.

Now, if the people who created blockchain owned the tech, then they would have something of value because people would have to come to them and pay.

But using your own math, a system that requires that much money and energy to verify transactions in inherently flawed.

That doesn't even touch on the idea that if the so-called "miners" are paid in bitcoin for the "work" of doing these calculations, you eventually reach the point where the miners hold all the supply of coin, and which point they are worthless.

I haven't until now, but I've been debating for about 3 weeks whether it's time to dip my toe in for a small amount.

At this point, if I DID get in, I would probably hold ETH as a speculative instrument, and BTC as a store of "wealth".

It's pretty obvious that we are reaching a point where BTC is going to be regulated. Which is a good thing in the end but will piss off all the anti-government types. When it happens, they will probably all default to ETH as a store of wealth, which should raise the price.

inb4: no one wants regulation.

Real investors want regulation. They want to know that all of their coins won't be stolen by a shady exchange.

Example: if markets were regulated, nearly everyone hit by the Nano event the other day probably would have been covered under SIPC.

Also... legitimate exchanges like CBEO and CBO now have bitcoin futures. That's going to require regulation.

If BTC stops being the darling of the anti-government types, their only real choice will be to use ETH as a store of wealth much as they are currently using BTC today.

Under regulated markets, the exchanges would be required to have verifiable security, and follow other securities rules. They would then have to pay the fee to get SIPC insurance (the same way that banks have to pay for FDIC insurance).

For example... when was the last time you've heard of someone like Fidelity or Vanguard being hacked with users losing their securities? Why do you think it happens less there?

Well, the purpose of regulation would NOT be to prevent investors from losing money, or even to protect them from the consequences of their own decisions. It would probably be more toward regulating the exchanges as to reduce the risk of fraud, and to protect people on both sides of the trade.

Examples...

1. Exchanges that operate in or do business with anyone in the united states must follow existing securities rule.

2. Banks are not allowed to transact business or transfer currency to/from any exchange which is unregulated.

3. Exchanges must be audited to verify their books and to verify that they are not stealing everyone's money.

4. Exchanges must have a competent security policy and the policy must follow standard security guidelines.

5. All exchanges transacting business in the US must issue 1099's.

Stuff like that.

As far as this goes, this will only work if one of two things happens...

1. People using cryptos have the ability to convert from crypto to dollars, euros, or other national currencies.

2. Enough goods and services companies get onboard and mutually decide to accept crypto X as a currency when doing buying and selling B-to-B.

As far as I can see, you're going to have a hard time doing 2 if you don't have 1.

Right now, the only reason a few companies accept crypto is because they can immediately convert them to fiat at the time of the transaction.

If you have a company that takes bitcoin, they can't keep it in bitcoin because if there's a chance that the value of the bitcoin is going to drop by 30% overnight, there is no way for them to restock their shelves from their sales.

No. In fact, I was an early adopter in the PC revolution. I was one of the few people who would hang out at the old teletype machine and use it for what it was worth (not much, but better than nothing).

And I attended all the computer shows, including when Apple and Microsoft were just another booth.

Back in the 70's, there weren't a lot of people talking about carrying a phone around. The big thing then was the rise of cable TV.

I think I've been very clear here.... I don't disagree with the technology. I see a certain amount of value in blockchain and smart contracts.

But believing in that technology is different from saying that it's married to any of the 1500 cryptos that exist right now.

And, as long as people continue to think they are, cryptos will remain overpriced, and essentially have no real value as a utility.

Random coin examples.... Zilliqa (ZIL) is priced at 0.05005. PIVX is priced at 5.82256

Why is one "worth" more than another? Why is either "worth" anything at all?

It's not utility. Neither offer anything that the other 1498 coins offer. It's only real "value" is speculative. It has value because people THINK it will have MORE value later.

back during the dot com bubble, people would add "dot com" to their name, and people suddenly thought it had value, because, you know, it was the internet and the internet was the future.

But it doesn't work that way. Something has value because it has utility. And if there is no utility, there is no value.

I don't think I'm contradicting myself. Consider the purpose of regulation in companies that allow you to trade stocks, like E-trade.

Regulations don't protect you from your trading decisions. For example, they're not designed to protect you if you buy a stock and the price goes down.

But they ARE there to protect the transaction and the honesty of the trading system.

So... to protect you from the company taking your money and not giving you the shares, or by quoting you inaccurate prices.

From what I've read, I think blockchain is....

1. A means for two people to have a transaction that is verified by a third party (trustless).

2. A series of transactions are are linked to the prior transaction to create a continuous chain of verified transactions. (as in... hash code of last prior transaction is encoded into the next transaction, so that transactions can't be modified later without breaking the link in all further nodes in the chain.

3. A system whereby the security is based on the uniqueness of the hash of the transaction (the ID's and amount within each transaction)

4. A system whereby "value" is derived by decentralized users who race to verify the hashcode math of each transaction.

For reasons too long to explain, I think the market could support THREE coins. One higher priced coin used as a reserve, and two lower level coins that fight over who is in second place.

Theoretically it COULD take on worldwide acceptance, and both gold and the rai stone, I think, proves that it doesn't matter WHAT people decide to use as a currency /store of wealth, as long as enough people agree to it.

As I said in an earlier comment, the tipping point will be when enough businesses support the coin in B2B transactions, and as a currency for the same.

For example, if I own a store that sells shoes, and choose to accept coin X, unless my supplier accepts payment in coin X, I can't restock my shelves without first converting from X into another currency.

If that is how things continue, then coin X really has a limited potential, since it never frees itself from the fiat that you have to convert to to do B2B transactions.

Now, imagine the opposite. Imagine we wake up tomorrow and the entire business world has decided that coin Y will now have "value". At that point it would, because the value of any currency is in it's ability to be used to buy and sell things.

I mean, I get the philosophical argument that if the US gov't can just decide that dollars have value that there's no reason why everyone else can't make up their own currency. I understand that.

But the devil is in the details, and the transition from fiat to crypto; going from being something that was a computer exercise into something that represents true value.

My favorite chinese fraud story....

.. a guy who tracks and exposes fake chinese companies calls one posing as a person who might want to be an investor. He says that he wants to see the factory.

... they say sure, and tell him the address, telling him to be there on date X for the tour.

... he flies in 2 weeks earlier, and sets up hidden cameras overlooking the property.

... the chinese people were taking an abandoned building, and shipping in furniture and trucks to make it look like it was a real factory.

... they had a truck that would drive into the loading bay, out the gates, around the block, and back in to repeat all day to make it look like it was a real factory.

So he goes for the tour, goes home, shorts the living shit out of the company stock, publishes the report with photos of the fake, and makes a shit load of money when the stock collapses.

Most coins are redundant and useless because they are trying to utilise blockchain tech for everything that we can already do. This is reminiscent of pets.com.

You are right, banks have always tried to screw over FinTech and ChainLink isn't some exception. They will eventually come up with their own private blockchain and private decentralised oracles that ices everyone outside their banking network. That or Intel SGX does what it says and banks don't mind paying LINK contractors living in basements like you say. In any case, ChainLink will be a first mover in this tech, just like BTC was for cryptocurrency, like ETH was for smart contracts. By the time the banks adopt this free tech, the early adopters of LINK will have sold out and gotten rich enough to sensibly retire.

You are right that you don't necessarily need a LINK token to use a decentralised oracle network. I'm sure a network like this without the token could exist but it doesn't yet. What I think is that by the time someone else does make one LINK holders will already made out with their money.

You are so colossally stupid in so many ways it’s actually baffling. Most posters have already covered it, the thing is you’re the epitome of the Dunning-Kruger effect whereby you have this vastly inflated sense of self worth because you have achieved the most cursory level of knowledge about technology, investments, valuations etc. and are now so deep down the rabbit hole of self congratulatory arrogance it will probably be impossible to persuade you.

Instead I suggest you actually look back at history and the rise and multi billion dollar valuations of social networks, do you believe it would be remotely difficult to copy twitter? Yet it is worth billions. When you realise why then maybe you’ll begin to understand that blockchains are just social networks because money and the entire legal system itself is just a highly complex social network (if you found 10MM USD cash tmrw in a suitcase you would have great difficulty spending it because you did not acquite it within the social network of life, money is simply entitlement, blockchain is a trustless way of recording entitlements) ChainLINKs value will be determined entirely by how many nodes the successfully get up and running this year.

When BTC was worth 10 USD people like you said the exact same shit, and when it was 100 USD and when it was 1000 USD. I’m not saying it will go up forever, I expect a multi year bear market, but I am actually astounded at the degree of mental gymnastics boomers and nocoiners go through to somehow claim that BTC is doomed to fail. We are in unprecedented territory and in ten years bitcoin has grown by stupidly high amounts. The absolute truth is you have no idea what society will be like in 10, 20, or 30 years but being dismissive of crypto now is the absolute height of ignorance. Progress cannot he stopped and whether or not you believe that crypto is the next stage, you are absolutely delusional if you think central banking are here to stay forever. As technology improves simple game theory dictates that the efficiency of decentralised trustless systems (be they cryptographic or some new tech invented in a decade) will eventually cause them to replace current systems. Minimising the significance of crypto in heralding these changes is equally foolish, crypto is AS big a leap, in terms of social impact and disrupting conventional systems, as the internet itself.
