From a psychiatric perspective the word "cuckold" triggers Link marines so much because subconsciously they know it's their true nature. Imagine holding a premined erc-20 token with terrible tokenomics for 6 years hoping to make it just to see your pathetic bags getting outperformed by the entire market while you stake your measly tokens for bond tier gains (4% APY). The cherry on top of the cake is Sergey who stringed along the community while he made $500 million by dumping on gullible retail investors like you.

The cuckold nature of the Link marine is an undeniable reality. As with every cult pointing out the truth is often uncomfortable for the cult members. But the truth is....Link marines are simply cuckolds.

I'd say actually the sentiment within the Link community (price action aside) has been relatively positive. Constant announcements.

But what's happening now, albeit slowly, is the Link community is growing. In other words, I think we're starting to attract attention from the outside, and bring them in. I have even seen a few popular normie crypto influencers posting about Link recently.

Open source, decentralized, APIs, partnerships, you name it. We'd be one of the first companies in line for something like Chainlink, if the decentralized smart contract space had more value over traditional data exchanges. There's a catch though, an underlying flaw more deeply embedded in the bedrock of LINK than the very code itself, the token is simply not needed.

Absofuckinglutely.
At this point, the very future of crypto is pretty much in Sergey's hands; the entire market is in limbo waiting for the next big paradigm shift.

But honestly Sergey is being completely irrational with the waiting.
For instance, Aave was fucking around with an early CCIP back in November 2021, which is 1.5 years ago. No way it takes this fucking long to audit this shit.
Mainnet itself only took 1.5 years between ICO and release; and that 1.5 years included a complete port-over to GoLang of Chainlink's entire codebase.
And let's not even mention staking.

question to all link marines
sergey claims that chainlink has enabled almost 8 trillion dollars of transaction value.
He also claims that chainlink's usage is increasing at an insane growth rate.
From what he keeps repeating, Chainlink is paid in $LINK for providing it's oracle services

If that's true, why is there no price increase ? Why is it such a stable coin ? If it's being used, at an increased rate, you should see the price increasing, regardless of if retails are buying or not.

The reason they're "subsidized" is because Sergey is currently the only contract operator, and he only allows KYC nodes for now.
There will always be contracts that only accept KYC'd nodes who won't necessarily need or want staking.

It's not just an extra security measure, it's a requirement. Otherwise you've done no better than what we already have today. Full staking is the one feature that underpins the security of the Chainlink network and sets it apart from the status quo.

Yes it was. See pic.

It doesn't even make sense to make money as a node purely from staking.
The stake is collateral, which by definition should be a zero-sum game if all goes well.
The value that staking provides is that it requires the token to have a high enough MC to be able to collateralize the value that passes through the Chainlink network.

And I'm pointing out that your understanding of the value that staking provides is incorrect and grossly understated. You seem to believe that Chainlink DON's can operate perfectly fine without full staking, but essentially they're no different from the status quo we have today since they operate off the same intangible incentives, i.e reputation and FFO.
Without staking, you've essentially just layered mutiple third party middlemen between data provider and blockchain which increases costs but doesn't add additional security since you're exposed to the same risks.
With the addition of staking, the cost increase remains, but you're getting greater value from a greater proportional level of security. This is even more apparent with super-linear staking. You've abstracted the data transmission away from the data provider, and encased it in a security environment driven by greater incentives to act truthfully compared to the security environment that the data provider is acting in, all because the nodes are required to put up collateral to cover the expected risk of providing false data whether through incompetence or malicious behaviour.

See, you're relying on the same incentives for nodes as what we rely on from banks and corporates today. Reputation and FFO. It's the same thing just in a different packaging. Past performance is not an indicator of future performance.
I know you recognise this, but you've backed yourself into a corner and now feel obliged to twist and turn in any way possible to get yourself out.

Staking is the key which differentiates the Chainlink network, since it requires a direct incentive to act truthfully (compared to indirect via reputation and FFO), and via super-linear staking it produces an environment where for every $1 staked it generates a greater magnitude of security value provided.

Dude, seriously, you're in this little Chainlink bubble at the moment. You need to take a step back and look at the wider picture. If reputation and FFO were incentive enough to guarantee performance, then Chainlink wouldn't be needed. But we know it isn't enough, hence why we have Chainlink staking.

Wow a title, congrats, you read page 1 of the whitepaper.
May I suggest a few more pages, maybe this paragraph:
"For the Chainlink network to achieve strong security within a decentralized trust model,
it is essential that nodes collectively exhibit correct behavior, meaning that they adhere
a majority of the time exactly to DON protocols. In this section, we discuss approaches
to helping enforce such behavior by means of economic incentives, a.k.a. cryptoeconomic
incentives. These incentives fall into two categories: explicit and implicit, realized
respectively through staking and future fee opportunity (FFO)."

It's not about valuation, it's about the network being effective in its goal. Banks and corporates can't be trusted today since reputation and FFO don't provide enough incentive to act in a trustless manner. Therefore, extra incentives are required to enforce this behaviour, hence the need for staking as a direct incentive.
Without staking, you're back to "trusting" nodes via reputation and FFO, when those incentives have already been proved to not be effective in current society.

>> No.55062640

"We foresee an increasingly expansive role for oracle networks, one in which they complement and enhance existing and new blockchains by providing fast, reliable, and confidentiality-preserving universal connectivity and off-chain computation for smart contracts."
Notice the word "reliable". How can you say that the Chainlink network will always be reliable when reputation and FFO have been proven to not be enough to ensure performance? Are you saying reputation and FFO are somehow different in the crypto world compared to the rest of the world? That reputation and FFO are magically more stringent in the crypto world?

Valuation is hard, since much of the market is speculative driven currently. True fundamentals haven't quite matured as yet, but obviously we're all hoping that this will change at some point in the future.
However, do note that:
- Cardano did a much better job of generating interest in their token than Chainlink did. Yes it was hype, no arguing that, but it was that initial interest generation that lead to more people buying it and propping up the price and market cap. Chainlink did the polar opposite, no hype for ages, limited information about progress, no timelines etc etc which lead to low initial interest in the project. That's played out in the market caps, even if we feel it is unfair the facts are that Cardano (and others) capitalised on interest better than Chainlink.
- fundamentally, while we believe Chainlink is super sound, the fact is that they still haven't attached the value of the network to the token. Until that happens, you can't say the Link token is fundamentally undervalued. There have been no cashflows to token holders, so current returns are effectively zero until that happens.

>but collusion to suppress a price via taking market risk is quite another thing from misreporting a price
Oh so banks colluding to fix a rate is perfectly fine in your mind then, and you trust them entirely? Weird, I guess you're perfectly happy getting fucked in the ass if it's happening via collusion, strange fetish you have there.
>it seems you really dont understand the very basic operation of what an oracle tries to do
You do know that Bloomberg and Thomason Reuters (now Refinitiv) have been transmitting data for far longer and on far greater magnitudes than Chainlink has. According to your logic, we should just let them fulfil the transmitter role because they have a greater reputation and history than Chainlink. Case closed, GG anon. You should tell Sergey to shut it down right now.

>> No.55065722

It's fairly obvious now that the current crop of Link "marines" are beyond saving. Even the basics of finance and treasury are miles about anything they can comprehend. You can go back to your dick sucking, honestly Sergey could literally take a shit on stage at Smartcon and you guys would somehow find a way to turn it into a positive. Hell, I'd even believe that you guys would get into a fight with each other over who would be the first to eat his shit.
At least in 2017 there were anons who actually understood markets and risk. You could actually have a discussion about exposure hedging and the role Chainlink would play, nowadays you barely have anyone who understands the basic risk factors that Chainlink is actively trying to solve. Before I go though, will hit you with one more fact. SWIFT won't be paying token holders a penny. You'll find out why and how later this year.

It is a chicken and egg problem - there isn't enough value in crypto to make the economics of staking work as you only need it for producing much higher economic security when there is more value flowing through the ecosystem. Chainlink is build for immense scale, not the childsplay sandbox we see today. Listen to Sergey explaining recently that CCIP is going to be what brings that value into the space from global capital markets.

I gotta admin I thought was smarter than everyone by buying into this next-gen oracle technology that chainlink developed.

Even though I was early and already invested at Chainlink at $0.40 (that was the price right when it became listed - the ICO was immediately filled up so i doubt more than a few hundred people anyway managed to get in there), I got a x15 from that now. I just feel ashamed to my friends & family whom I convinced that this would be a good project to invest in.

But I realize that this project will never mature into something bigger. I dont know why I didn't see this earlier, but the hidden signs where all there:
- disdain from entire crypto community other than biz
- weasel wording communication from founder and backstabbing on promises
- founder (!) insisting on WFH-culture where nothing gets delivered

This is not a stock. You can't buy the majority of tokens and then "vote" to replace Sergey. He just sits there and has ZERO obligations to token holders, absolute ZERO. so there is no way receives any repercussion from his abysmal performance that any normal CEO would get from its shareholders. Just nada. Extremely comfortable for him, extremely bad for "investors". Or maybe a better word would be gamblers, as you can't really speak of "investing" in this context.

tldr: Thought I was smart, realized I was dumb, even dumber for trusting Sergey without any way or means to hold him accountable for his deceiving lies

It's entirely your own fault for being in that situation.
I'm poor as fuck, income wise, and i'm comfy waiting on chainlink because my entire networth isn't in it.
But even if it was, i have a baseline number i worked out to meet my needs + emergency funds available.
I didn't tie myself down with financial obligations either. Mostly because i don't like the feeling but also because i'm poor and legacy financial systems offer me poorer deals, or none at all, because of that.
Granted, i'm low right now on emergency funds for reasons but i can just ease off on buying chainlink a little or, better yet, cut my spending and build that back up.
If i don't build my emergency funds back up, and an emergency occurs, it is my own fault.
If you wanted money quick, you should have put some effort into obtaining it like everyone else. It was never going to be as easy as fire and forget with immediate rewards.
The 'just hodl' strategy requires a baseline foundation to work stress free and, if i'm being completely candid, requires you to assume that money is gone forever until otherwise evidenced.
This applies to anything, not just chainlink.

Even the projects that have long avoided mentioning Chainlink run largely on Chainlink.
See pic for example, from over a year ago, Maker's reliance on CL is even greater these days.

Majority token holder is chainlink labs. The demand, and therefore price increase, is quelled every time by massive dumps of their stockpile. The project is good, the tokenomics are bad. At this point the only way for the price to go up is for Chainlink labs to burn their supply.

The biggest gainers from the last bull cycle all dumped more than Sergey did.
You're such an idiot.

I'll be bullish as long as assholes like you keep fudding. Great fundamentals, tons of dev, daily announcements and a sizeable team of dedicated full time fudders is more than enough to convince me I'm holding something extremely valuable.
I thank you for the indicators. It makes holding so much easier.

if u are holding spot, then it doesnt apply to u. The problem is the multi years pysop that kept u people so bullish even when the data suggest the opposite, and a few of u use leverage. From what I can see they are just liquidity hunting people, and marines tend to long because they are afraid too short, which contribute to these price action. Yes they are longing this dip, with positive funding rate. Goodluck
