always were, bro.

Here's my likelihood of price points:
$100 - 100%
$1000 - 100%
$10,000 - 75%
$50,000 - 50%
$100,000 - 25%

Town Crier was the first clue. Why buy an SGX enclave when you could just use it? It was the first taste we had that Chainlink wasn't just going for oracles, they were going for a comprehensive L2 smart contract processing and execution toolkit.
That's essentially what the WEF paper is about.
>Thinking about incorporating smart contracts into your legacy system? You'll need x, which Chainlink offers, and y, which Chainlink offers, and z, which Chainlink owns exclusively
The amount that they are ahead of the game is honestly mesmerising. Who else was thinking about TLS access before DECO? Or VRF before Chainlink announced it? We literally learn what the next big revolution will be after they've already hashed it out in a paper.

Does anyone else feel like Chainlink will be the last opportunity of its kind?
I know that people thought Bitcoin was one of a kind, then thought that Ethereum was the last big opportunity, but with Chainlink there are two separate, major factors that lead me to believe that we will never have an opportunity like Chainlink again.

The first is the nature of the Chainlink product itself. There are only a limited number of "base level protocols" that a mature smart contract economy will use. The need for consistent standards and the monopolistic first mover effect means that, generally, a single incumbent represents the vast majority of the value at any part of the stack.
On top of this, Chainlink exists at a very specific intersection between both being a fundamental tool that nearly everything else will use, AND having a very strong value driver for the native token. More base level structural tools will come into being (decentralised identity is a big one), but whether they will have a native token and whether the native token will actually have a strong economic case to accrue value, is much less clear.
Also, as Chainlink sucks in more and more tools (VRF, front running, TLS access, enclaves, tsigs, etc) there is less room for a diverse ecosystem of competing products that represent these tools. This may actually be BAD for crypto overall, as generally monopolies aren't the best way to achieve results, but it's very good for LINKies.
The more of an "everything L2 protocol" that Chainlink becomes, the less it is likely that there will be more fundamental protocols to get into at the ground floor.

We got a bit lucky. We bought the idea for a decentralised oracle network in 2017. Pretty straightforward. Next key piece of infrastructure that would work across whichever L1 would win out.
We didn't buy this fucking behemoth. This Town Crier owning, DECO owning, Ari Juels employing, Chainlink Labs owning, frontrunning solving, immensely feature rich L2 powerhouse that fucking dabs on the entire cryptosphere and puts out more useful research than every other project combined. We didn't know about that in 2017, I'll give you that.

I want a ceramic 3D printer so I can print and paint porcelain Sergeys for personal decoration and retail sale.

Fuck. Yeah.

Nice sacrifice. Hope this is just a chunk of your whale stack..

Oh so THIS is what comfy feels like.

Literally the only corona-proof asset on the planet.

Big happenings coming in the next months, smartcon, probable steaking, etc.

It's resisted so many dips that it's a self-fulfilling prophecy by now. It won't go down because nobody will let it go down.

Why the fuck do you not have at least 90% of your net worth parked in LINK yet?
