Alright queerbaits, listen up. I'm a portfolio manager at a notable fund.

No, this isn't a larp.
No, i'm not going to give you any sensitive information.

I'm hustling the "blockchain middleware" meme to boomers of the "c-suite at traditional finance firms" variety right now. Help me help me and help you by giving me your best high-level and boomer-friendly investment abstract for Chainlink (emphasis on long-term network value, not token/price shilling). And no, the "decentralized oracle network" memes won't work here - based boomers might not be able to explain what the internet is, but they can smell the hive mind buzzword bullshit from a mile away. An investment isn't worth the risk unless the underlying product/value is easy to understand.

These endearing bastards don't have current (or historical) exposure to the market (see: muh fiduciary responsibility, follow-not-lead meme), but they do want to learn and register that they will need to enter if the market does trend up over the mid-term. They also love the idea of getting equity-style but 100% liquid exposure to early stage tech (via public chain investment). Traditional instruments can't offer the same mix of high growth and liquid positioning (see: what VC boomers are doing in this space with token-seed investments and subsequent manufacturing of "high liquidity events" to exit positions when feet get chilly (traditional equity play would leave them dead on the cap sheet for years).

Should the miners and exchanges be able to pull off one last cycle-meme bull run, we will see some significant institutional money enter the market - and the long-term middleware thesis is getting some interest again (alongside the "high growth yield" meme... APYs will be clown-level until rewards start to cliff).

Already have pitch collateral - just curious if one of you beautiful serg-spergs has a cleaner way of putting things.

<3 and please try to not stay poor.

Guys, I've got word in one of the dc groups of some big chainlink news. bullish. dubs and I reveal.

I LIKE MY LINKIES EXTRA STINKY

SAY IT WITH ME

What makes you all so sure that chainlink is gonna moon?

Got to think about the risks when around 60% or more of the LINK tokens are spread between just a couple of wallets. Centralized funds. I'm just remembering that the value of my portfolio is not in our hands and I'll be staying vigilant.
