no one spoonfeed the bitboomer, please.

>>21158159
What the fuck does BTC do anyways?

>>21158159
priceless

>>21158226
>t. dumb zoomer holding bags

>>21158159
OP have you heard of Tether

>>21158262
Be decentralized and immutable, unlike altcoins?

>>21158296
Plenty of altcoins are decentralized and immutable.

>>21158294
So chainlink is a tether job?

>>21158270
when i bought 5k chainlink in 2017, it was worth 0.1 BTC. now it's worth about 6 BTC.

so who is really holding bags here :^) stay poor

>>21158296
There's no use case for BTC. Once hailed as P2P money, that fell to shits and maxis needed a way to keep this scam going and remarketed as store of value. BTC is the ultimate shitcoin scam.

>>21158159
Pay us in BTC, and when it arrives, you get responses.

Take care of the krill dude.

>>21158341
>6BTC
so you are poor

>>21158354
>I don't understand the use case so there's no use case

>>21158315
Name one?

Still surprised an alt PoW hasn't replaced BTC. BTC is so broken economically, holy shit.

>>21158436
You might hurt OPs feelings

>>21158159
>0 hacks
1 hack, actually. Had to fork the entire blockchain to avoid it.

>>21158159
> immutable
lol

>>21158400
i'd rather be poor and making it than a retarded btc maximalist :^) glad people like you are priced out.

>>21158425
Actually now that I think of it, I should've said 'altcoin'. Monero's the only relevant crypto that comes to mind and isn't also POS

>>21158159
Link holder since $0.8 here. No one gives a shit about muh fundamentals. And Chainlink is a piece of shit btw but it's going to keep pumping. Literally no one on this board has read the whitepaper and it doesn't even fucking matter. When trend reversal happen, everyone will take their gains and the door. And we'll be hard at work farming the next x100 while you keep LE HODLING your shitty sats. kys

>>21158498
>2013 BTC Chad
>"priced out!"

>>21158513
>XMR
Not decentralized.

>>21158547
if you want to buy in, just know you're pumping my bags i grabbed at .40c! hope that's okay with you! :^)

>>21158530
>I won at the shitcoin casino so this means it's a viable technique
You are poor and stupid.

Why does no one like my shitcoin any more , chad here!11!!

>>21158585
I don't buy shitcoins.

>>21158436
2 iq

>>21158547
>Not decentralized.
How? It seems more decentralized than Satoshi holding 1,000,000 BTC.

>>21158623
cool, stay poor and good luck with your LARP thread!

>>21158596
>#1 Coin
>"no one likes your shitcoin"

>>21158159
>Can you explain why anyone would want to hoard Chainlink?
To make Sergay who owns 65% of all tokens richer! Why else lmao. The token isn't even needed as much as it cost and iExec do the same, in better, and with a core team of 6PhD

>>21158159
>bitcoin maxi
>"Why would something that has to do with smart contracts (im not even sure what it does)"
checks out

because smart contracts are the future of agreements digital or otherwise (check out RGB smart contracts being built on bitcoin) but currently blockchains can't interact with data to settle contractual agreements in a decentralized way, hence ethereum smart contracts being basically limited to moving tokens around. Link is the token of a decentralized oracle network that makes smart contracts able to interact with real world data, and will appreciate in value with use of the network as it's needed to collateralize contracts

*destroys his own coin in your path*

>>21158159
>There isn't a single crypto other than BTC that makes sense, at least not from the POV of buying and holding it expecting higher prices that can actually be sustained long term. The rest is a clusterfuck.
Monero then. Not Btc.
Because Monero is Btc with 100% anonymity

>>21158159
It's a token, brainlet. A literal smart contract you can read. The supply is capped.
But the supply doesn't even matter. Without LINK blockchain is literally useless. Without LINK you can't even reliably pay for shit with your buttcoin, because when you buy your $100 buttplug the vendor can manipulate the price feed and you will pay at the rate $1/1 BTC. Not even mentioning the 2 hours confirmation times LINK makes instant through an escrow.
You want to reliably and trustlessly fuck a whore while paying with your buttcoin? LINK wraps your buttcoin into an ethereum smart contract and once the link-enabled sensor in whore's mouth detects cum, the smart contract automatically transfers the BTC and unwraps it at the other end.

You want an assassination smart contract? Police database LINK adapter and an anonymous link-enabled GPS tracker with a wallet attached. Once the target pops up in the database as a corpse and the tracker was at the place and the time of death, it receives the money.

Your whole crypto bullshit will run on LINK.

>>21158674
Still doesn't address why the TOKEN would go up in value.
The fundamentals of why BTC would up are clear. It can't be replicated. Chainlink is competing with a million other oracles. Also BTC can act as the best oracle possible (see Hivemind) and backed by an actual immutable blockchain which is what you would like when you are locking millions worth of contracts, not another PoS clusterfuck ponzi.

>>21158866
LN allows instant payments. No need for shitcoin tokens.

>>21158999
LN is
1. centralized as a concept
2. doesn't even exist. Version 0.1 beta is the best they came up with in 5 years
3. Will never be finished.

Link is already working with banks and S&P 500 corporations before it's even fully finished. Once it's finished later this year you will be forced to use it in your day to day life.
Also, LINK will surpass buttcoin in marketcap next fall, since the aim is to connect legacy banking and derivative exchanges to blockchain.

>>21158159
>Why would something that has to do with smart contracts (im not even sure what it does)
Nice bait retard

>>21159091
You are a retard. I use lightening all the time and it works great. It isn’t 2017 anymore retard. I’m not hating on LINK but you fags saying Bitcoin/lightening is useless are truly retarded. You are just too poor for Bitcoin so you cope by saying it is worthless.

Bitcoin is the most secure crypto by magnitudes and is the greatest store of value known to man. Big money only buys BTC if they buy any crypto at all.

>>21159091
>LN is X
Wrong.
>You will be using some shitcoin for SP500
LMAO. Fucking Zoomers are killing me. No one with a brain will replace Vanguard as custodian of their index funds for some retarded PoS ponzi token that represents shares of the SP500 so when it goes full DAO they can run with your shares.

>>21158159
This is an articulate and interesting question, however do you have any proof that you are a "BTC whale"? For all we know you could be some guy on his laptop in a dungeon in Puerto Rico.

>>21159200
Don't lie. No one has ever used LN, except retards who love to lose their money.
Useless dinosaur shitcoin. Converted my 5 remaining buttcoins into ETH and LINK in July and never looked back.
Just watch your ponzi being flipped by ETH, then LINK and then descend into obscurity.

>>21159300
Now I know you are trolling.

>>21159206
Vanguard software is made by Oracle Corporation. Oracle is integrating Chainlink this October. Vanguard will ran on Chainlink by spring. Not only vanguard. 90% of banks and ETFs will run on LINK once Oracle Blockchain and Swift's GPI Link are finished.
You are truly a clueless retard. You had 3 years and you didn't listen.

>>21159300
You’ll wake up on day to worthless shitcoins and neck because you sold all your BTC. There is a day where Bitcoin will have smart contracts, side channels, insta txs and suck the air out of 99% of the crypto garbage.

>>21158159
>With BTC it's simple
YOU are simple ahahahahaha

>>21159375
50 fucking replies and still no solid argument as to why the LINK token is fundamentally sound to go up in value long term.

>>21158982
hivemind is application specific, chainlink is generalized, hivemind is btc specific, link is blockchain agnostic
link already has the network effect and has first mover advantage
>>/biz/thread/S14514053

>>21158159
this is a larp, a bitcoin whale would lurk and do some research first and not need to ask this question.

you have to go back

>>21158159
BTC is digital gold. Link is digitizing something much larger than gold. link MC will dwarf btc

>>21158999

shoo shoo blockstream jew

>>21159362
>There is a day where Bitcoin will have smart contracts
Yeah, that day was half a decade ago until the blockstream stooges decided to disable the functionality and tell vitalik to fuck off somewhere else
