I remember a time when every developer wanted to work for google and their open source software was of high quality and met every quality metric you could think of. That was the time before Eric came and made a "business" out of the cash cow, suffocating the culture of technical excellence and replacing it with the soulless fight for influence / money present in every other company. I wouldn't want him to come into my favorite project, because he'll ruin it as well.

>>53058871
don't worry, he's just in for the fat cheque and do a couple talks. he really is just renting his name at that point

That guy doesn't do shit, if anything he probably spent 15 minutes once talking on the phone with Sergey and that was it. Crypto is all smoke and mirrors and chainlink's headquarters is in the fucking bahamas
That dude accepted $50 000 from Sergey so chainlink can officially list as as advisor and use his name and status

>>53058871
But if it wasn’t for him nobody would have used Google and it would have died in obscurity. Now literally everyone uses google

>>53058894
>>53058892
You do realize his net worth is bigger than chainlink market cap right? He’s basically working for free

>>53058894
ah yes, the Top 50 richest person on the planet is looking for some pocket change 500K to then connect his name to a crypto company (just one) which he knows will go bankrupt soon am I rite

>>53058939
>500K
Not even that. He said $50k. He’s either a zoomer with no sense of finance or an actual pajeet.

You forgot to change your ID, OP.

I'll give you a couple of answers I've filtered over the years to be true, from the few times I've gotten a fudder in a rare moment of clarity:

1) Turbo autists who figured out the need for externally connected smart contracts very quickly, and who now seethe at the entire world for failing to understand it like they do. Chainlink is sort of like a metaphor for their general inability to integrate with society, where they are rational and right and it's the world's fault it's so irrational and dumb..
These people fud because in their mind the world should have figured out LINK in 2019 at the absolute latest, but failed to, and so they'll seethe and rage at everyone and everything as a way to express this frustration.

2) People who had LINK stacks but lost them swinging, or gambling, or in a CeFi collapse, or who simply got fudded out of LINK back in 2018 and have been furious ever since. They will never buy LINK because they can't buy it at $0.30 like they had the chance to back then, and then basically rage at people continuing to hold because "if I can't make it then neither can you"

3) People who try to profit off taking an oppositional position to LINK. Usually grifters like the CLCG/Honeycomb/API3 guys, or NEXO, who are charlatan fraudsters and basically parasitic animals to Chainlink just like there are many fraudster teams that are parasitic animals to ETH. They fud because muddying the waters about Chainlink lets them shill themselves, it doesn't go much deeper than that.

4) The seriously mentally ill, like Michael, who also fits in category 2) but has now made a large part of his online identity "being a link fudder" and can't really distance themselves from that because it's the only way they can consistently get attention online, which they crave.

>>53059039
No I didn’t forget. What I forgot is relying on you retards to give me a non meme answer.

>muh CEOs are literal geniuses and never fuck up bro!!!
https://killedbygoogle.com/
he took a shot with emerging technologies and got rekt, happens all the fucking time

>>53058939
>>53059026

Yes, that is exactly right
Rich people will never toss away an opportunity for easy money. I said 50k but it could be much more, could be a million bucks actually. The Apple founder did the same shit last bullrun for picrelated shitcoin

>>53059134
Now this is the answer I was looking for. Notice how smug linkies were when Eric joined the team? The price started tanking as soon as he joined lmao

>>53059134
to be fair this site is a little retarded, a huge amount of those products were just cancelled because there was already a similar product by Google in existence or they rolled out a new one under a different name

>>53059186
so they assimilated them and then literally shadowforked them
sounds very comforting desu senpai

>>53059195
no, they were their own products. but you don't need 3 different app stores for chrome, or 4 different versions of YouTube or something like Google surveys when Google forms exists (they just offer the same thing). A lot of that stuff is complementary anyways, their core products are market leaders in their respective markets (YouTube, Google cloud, chrome, etc)

>>53058871
many such cases when it comes to the wonders of capitalism (unprincipled shekelchasing.)

>>53059153
>could be a million bucks actually
Are you an actual zoomer?

>>53059153
>Rich people will never toss away an opportunity
then Eric Schmidt would "advise" like 50 different crypto projects in that case, not just one lmao
>could be a million bucks actually
laughable irrelevant pocket change for him

>>53058853
Protip: he was paid by Chainlink to use his name in their promotional material.

Everything Chainlink claims is fraudulent.

>>53059228
you just repeated the same thing I said

>>53059265
>he was paaaaid!
Stop using this meme. It wasn’t funny before and it isn’t funny now.

>>53059231
No, I'm 40 y-o
By the way if you know the exact amount Sergey paid that guy, please share it I'd be curious to know
>>53059262
>then Eric Schmidt would "advise" like 50 different crypto projects in that case, not just one lmao
No you can't do that. I mean just picture Roger Federer being sponsored by Rolex AND Patek Philippe... you can't do that
>laughable irrelevant pocket change for him
That's not how rich people think. Most of them always want more and more money, it's never enough, and especially if it requires no effort whatsoever like in this case. And again if you know the exact amount he got paid please share it I'm curious

>>53059289
No, you were implying something completely different.

>>53059358
He’s being paid in link apparently

>>53058871
>>/biz/?task=search&ghost=yes&search_text=Before+eric+came

>>53059328
What are you 12? Of course he was paid, you drooling spastic.
You don't get to advertise this guy's name in your scam without a fee.

>>53059328
Name one Chainlink claim that wasn't untrue or entirely fraudulent.

>>53059359
no, you literally repeated the same argument with a lot of words for some reason
>their core products are market leaders such as YouTube
they literally bought and assimilated the fucking thing, it was never "their own" product
in essence same thing to shadowforking

>>53059358
>No you can't do that
Yes you can. Schmidt is an advisor, not a paid ad who has to wear Chainlink promotional hats and t shirts public
>Most of them always want more and more money, it's never enough, and especially if it requires no effort whatsoever like in this case
Again, in that case he'd "advise" dozens of crypto projects like other scammers do

>>53059507
to be absolutely frank this is eerily similar to this
https://ripple.com/insights/ripple-appoints-former-treasurer-of-the-united-states-rosie-rios-to-board-of-directors-and-kristina-campbell-as-cfo/
it means nothing

>>53059521
No it isn’t.
Corporate CEO’s are way above government officials in terms of hierarchy.

>>53059521
Never even said that the mere fact that Schmidt is on board means LINK should automatically go to $1000, just that it's absolutely retarded to imply Schmidt is doing it for some whatever pocket change and just with Chainlink specifically

>>53059521
And even if it is similar your argument is invalid because xrp is top 5 crypto.

>>53058892
>fat check
>literally one of the richest people on earth and worth more than entire chainlink market cap
lol

>>53059640
???
they're literally interchangeable, look at Lagarde
in fact, fuck the old hag, look at this
https://www.theverge.com/2016/3/2/11146884/eric-schmidt-department-of-defense-board-chair
>>53059643
he simply drank the kool-aid Sergey offered, stop making this overly complicated ffs
>>53059670
OP are you retarded? the entire premise of YOUR thread was why is Schmidt still associating himself with an apparently failed project, I'm simply pointing out that there have been many instances of high profile individuals backing up failed shit
>who is Kissinger

I'm kinda shitposting but perhaps his involvedment is legit. I guess I'd have fo watch that video
https://m.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=3&v=u2kOmSh4h84&feature=emb_logo

>>53059739
>they're literally interchangeable
For corporate elites only. Every politician without background are all paid for.

So you think xrp is a failed crypto?

>>53059958
yes
you don't think so?

>>53059990
It’s constantly in the top 5 crypto. Take our stables and it’s the top three. I wouldn’t call that a failure when Luna went from rank 5 to 500.

Chainlink however…

>>53059401
Haha, that’s why you fags got dumped on.

>>53060541
It all makes sense now

>>53060204
it has absolutely failed as an investment compared to its market, it has flat lined effectively since 2017
it is a 10 year old project that cannot get any serious adoption like they've been promising since 2015
https://www.weforum.org/organizations/ripple
xrp is only used for washtrading
the meme market cap only reflects how insanely huge the supply is, also judging the value by market cap is the most retarded thing you could possibly do

>>53058853
This is unbelievable I know so many fags will start feeling crazy

>>53059739
This is really a dumb as shit, will you say that that staking on Maiar Dex which provides provides jeets access to stake on Metastaking with earnings of 15-35% APY has failed like your mama's boobs? Oh damn!

>>53060541
This ain't funny brat, I lost my life on Luna so don't fucking say shits

Kekekekek @ fudders try to fud Eric itt lol priceless

>>53058853
So many are scared of crypto. If crypto doesn't dominate, CBDCs will rule all the markets. You will bow to your old lords, the central banks. They would have gotten more powerful

predictive programming, actor

>>53061763
Lick your ass stupid Asian... You were born a looser

>>53058871
yeah well since he worked there they turned into a trillion dollar company that basically controls large swathes of the internet, has their devices in countless peoples homes, and is at the forefront of creating new technologies to continue doing this in the future. i think that's pretty good. no one starts a business to sit in the basement and feel cool about it forever. if you can make billions of dollars and it's within reach you should do it. and they fucking did it.

>>53058853
I know what you're fucking saying but I better headbutt a defi web3 project. I don't care after all life is risk. No need for shits

>>53059039
>it's a heckin conspiracy!!

awww look guys, we have a little junior Gman on the case, rest easy!

>>53061789
or they could just post the chart.

>>53062008
>post the chart
lol do you really not know what 'investing' is?
Buy high, huh?
kek, retard

>Eric Schmidt is a nobody.... sell your Link!

>>53058853
at this point i really think they paid him to speak

i don't think there's been any "advising" at all...

>>53061924
>I thought it was timely, honest, and was pertinent to the crisis we are in concerning Eric Schmidt’s total sell out to China through advanced technology stolen from Google, Facebook, WhatsApp and other digital platforms that have come to aggressively control all Chinese. I believe Eric’s evil program, Dragonfly, has already been implemented in America.

I am calling him out for his lies and his complete control by the Chinese Communist Party. Eric has lied so much lately and has admitted that he created the Social Credit System now ruling China for a ruthless totalitarian government that has Eric controlled and manipulated by President Xi Jinping and his central committee. In May of this year, Eric said that he also bifurcated the Internet for China so that there will soon be two different Internets – one controlled by America and one by China. These things are immoral and wrong and must be stopped.

>It's obvious Eric did it for the money!

>>53058871
stop anon, you can only make me so erect at the thought of Eric cleaning up the shitshow Sergey presided over.

>>53058853
tom gonser fell for chainlink scam too. dude left the team. theres a point in everyones life where they grow up and realize that even smart and rich people make very dumb mistakes.
