Anyone else feeling kind of bad for this spic nigger? I mean he was always doomed to be Salieri and his project was shit from the start but I think he was genuinely in it 'for the tech', and he had a legitimate claim to be the second best. He acted petty a few times but for the most part he also seemed to be reasonable and just focused on his own shit and solving tech issues, if you followed their social you would have seen him be a legit hard worker and a honest person. He decided to take the ethical route in the scummiest space and held off releasing tokens. But even despite how fundamentally shit he was, he could have still secured himself a small but comfy 'second best' niche spot. Now the rocket has taken off and he's nowhere to be seen while opportunistic half assed trash and chink hustlers came out of nowhere to ride on our coattails.

I remember when they did that town crier announcement in front of hundreds of people and had some really good professional photographies taken for marketing, you could see his silhouette just standing in the background. It was truly iconic imagery. I just find it endearing, like there's some classic tragedy to this kind of archetype. Like those good natured naive nerds who started building computers in their garages and were probably even better at it than Bill and his friends but lacked the drive and vision to take it to the finish line.

I remember telling myself 'when it drops, you should get some, on the misunderstanding that retards will pump the competitors, the repeat of the eth killers pattern'... Now look at the chink hustle, honestly sickening. 'How does vrf work???'. And it's on fucking coin base already. Time waits for no man.

Press F to salute this Salieri spic nigger and his dead coin.

Sergey pictured here, day dreaming about more food to stuff in his fat fucking face instead of paying attention.

Real talk, how big is the Oraclize absorbing Chainlink move?

Bigger than Town Crier or not? TC was a downright merger and acquisition, a true alpha move, however Oraclize said they would likely support future networks (Witnet?).

Oraclize as a parent company it seems has been active since before SmartContract started providing centralized oracles (which we know they were doing but don't know much about their clients before they transitioned to link dev)? It's certainly more established as THE centralized oracle option, and although we all know centralized oracles suck,

1 centralized oracles will still be the prefered option for some clients and use cases
2. Oraclize has developed a reputation and customer base; supposedly having worked with thousands of teams so far.

We should be understanding therefore that Oraclize's customer base might now be considered link's potential customer base. From the previous hundreds of teams, to now thousands. All the bullish news about Oraclize should also retroactively be applied to link, such as their collabs with Corda and their role in the latest EEA guidelines.

This brings the question: Is there a deeper motive behind this move? Did Sergey try to pull another merger and acquisition to further secure a monopoly (decentralized network + TEE + established centralized option = you just win). TC and Oraclize were link's two biggest competitors and they have now been assimilated. It's becoming clear that Vitalik's "not worth 32mil" comment was right, however that's because he didn't account for what Sergey would do with the budget: buy out the competition.

On one side, Oraclize supporting link was necessary for them to survive, on the other it's unlikely they are doing it for free: how much is Sergey paying them (wallet autists, any movement?), is he ready to pay enough so they don't support other networks in the future? Thinking long-term CEO game, this move could just be the first step, he might keep trying for a full-on M&A.
