Unironically, what do you mean by that question? I mean, the returns from 0 to 0.00001 LINK are huge in relative terms. The operator with more linkies would be able to access more tasks and very probably earn more in absolute terms. But this is all of course, if they want to be apid in LINK. Otherwise, it gets weird.

You'll get LINK tokens for running a node. That's the incentive. The token will appreciate in value to make it worthwhile. Easy as that. I think it's good that you don't necessarily need LINK to run a node. Makes it more legit in my opinion.

No, link is not gold.

Gold is actual real physical tangible wealth that you can hold in your hand and has been money for 5,000 years.

Even says in the constitution, only gold and silver shall be legal tender. This was put in there because our forefathers had the presence of mind to know that Jews would ultimately try and take us off a gold standard to confiscate all our wealth through inflation.... and they knew this would also lead to a bunch of NEETS on a carpet bagging racist anime forum to throw all their money into crypto because it's impossible to make it otherwise when gold doesn't back the currency anymore.

And if any of you stupid fucks don't believe me...... then how come 100k went a lot further 30 years ago than it does today.

Gold standard means low prices crypto doesn't solve skyrocketing prices.

So after you make it with link you need to buy gold

Unless the node operators are hodling, it literally does not matter what value the Link token is.
Link could be 1 billion USD, and you could still pay someone 1 cent worth of Link.

The price of Link will be determined ONLY by the forces of supply & demand.

And yes, you can operate a node without any Link tokens, but only retards who STILL haven't read the white paper after almost a full year will delude themselves into thinking that's somehow bad.

And to give you some insight, because so many of you are finger-sniffing retards:

Even if (IF) major companies set up their own private nodes and run them without ever using a single Link token, the mere knowledge that these companies are relying on Chainlink will have a M A S S I V E marketing effect.
Not only will people want a piece of whatever those companies are using for pure investment/speculation purposes; but also private persons will know the network is reliable and thus use it for their own smart contracts.

And knowing that smart contracts allow for things like peer-to-peer crowdfunded loans and insurances etc., the private users of chainlink (or smart contracts in general) may eventually put those "major companies" out of business.

It may be necessary to deal with regional laws to know what node did what in case of something fucked up happening. You're running your node and you gave forbidden illegal information to a contract that was illegal for you to provide. So you can have insider information contracts and you get paid in LINK but you can also go to prison as an accesory to murder for supplying data to an assasination contract. It could be useful to know what nodes did what. So it could be useful for governments to have some kind of national regulation along the lines of
> Information providers must be identifiable after the contract has been executed, otherwise the information providers and contract developers are outlaws and we'll show their skulls on pikes
That could suck for you but it could keep the network running.

Wow biz, you’re fucking retarded. You understand that utility tokens aren’t meant to have any monetary value? The only reason they have any current “value” is because retards like everyone here like to Gamble... err, sorry, “speculate”. One “side effect” of decentralized block chain technology is that anybody can acquire, spend or use (in a sense) the digital assets.

If you read the documentation behind Chain Link it is fucking clear as day that there is no fucking intention for the token itself to have ANY value whatsoever. There is literally no need for link to be worth ANYTHING. You guys are completely deluded. Why do you think the CL team does nothin to “hype” the coin, they don’t care about the price of LINK because it literally has no value, it’s simply a chunky cheese token and they can create more if they need to, and they will once main net it up and running. Of course nobody is going to address this because it would incite negativity from all of you “investors”. You need to understand LINK isnworthless by intention it is simply a requirement for the technology to operate.

So the time to sell your gold is when it is overvalued comared to something like real estate and then you pick up a house for pennies on the dollar for what it cost you to obtain in the fiat paradigm.

Example:

In Venezuela where their currency has collapsed and people are eating their pets. 1 single ounce of silver buys you 3-4 months of food on the black market.

So think about that and now fiat is robbing us...

A silver ounce equals 16$. 16$ doesn't even buy you lunch at Cheesecake Factory. But when the currency fails the real purchasing power is unleashed.

Remember for hundreds of years and even today in many underdeveloped countries a days wage = a silver piece the size of a silver dime.

Today joe six pack is selling useless insurance providing zero real value for society and makes 150$/day... which is the equivalent of 10 ounces of silver a day... yet for most of human history and even in America 200 years ago a days wage was a silver dime.

So everything is so overpriced and inflated because of fiat. And when fiat implodes and we go back to square one where a silver dime equals a days wage (converted to the new currency or some crypto or whatever) a measly 500 ounces of silver will be a literal fortune

What? We're living in the age of computers also hell yeah I would bring a computer back in time are you kidding me? Go ahead give me a aline about how the apocalypse is near, I never made an argument that gold wasn't value, but you're the on claiming crypto isn't because something something gold has been here a long time something something.

It's valuable because it's inherently money and has all the properties money has to be.

Go back 500 years. Nobody bought silver bro. Silver was the MONEY to buy things.

Now obviously we aren't going back to buying shit with silver at Costco. But that dollar has to be backed by gold or it has no value and the fed can give congress unlimited fake money to spend and stick us with the debt.

I'm not anti crypto. Crypto has the potential to be a currency but it isn't money. There's a difference between money and currency. Gold can be both if need be but we aren't going back to buying things with coins. But it's more importantly real money and real savings.

Bitcorns aren't savings

They don't. It's just unlikely that people who want work done won't excluse non-staking nodes from their "what nodes will be eligible for this work" parameters, so effectively, nodes with low or no link probably won't get much work, if any at all.

>Brainlet goldbugs are at it again
Get with the fucking times you dimwits, holy shit. How dense can you be? Gold used to be store of value because it was one of like three materials known to man who were all of the following:
>rare
>light and easily divisible
>resistant to rot and rust
>didnt mix well with other metals and therefore hard to dilute
>characteristic shine made it easy to identify

It's 2018 and not only there are hundreds of materials that fulfill some or all of these categories better than gold, its appearance is no longer trustworthy. It now takes a thorough analysis to make sure gold isnt part tungsten or some shit. It has become completely unviable for small amounts and average joes. The only ones who still care about it are mega corporations and governments, because they deal with such large amounts that testing for authenticity is a tiny cost in comparison. The blockchain is everything gold is plus easy transfering and testing for authenticity. It's the best store of value in itself that exists today, its biggest problem being the sketchy people who own so much of it

yes, a company or a smart contract creator may purchase link tokens on a query to query basis depending on the data he/she needs at that particular/duration of time. no operators will also want as much link as possible to put up as collateral this way a smart contract creator can pick oracles A,B,C,D,E,F and G and look at their reputation + collateral depending on the type of decentralisation needed.

you do not need link to run a node but you won't get any jobs because you have no collateral to put up thus you'll never gain any reputation for providing accurate data so basically you'll be operating a node as a net loss. and also if a company is just going to use their own data then they do not need to trust any one else. the point of this is for smart contract creators to be able to have a toolbox of data feeds they can pick from and plug into their smartcontracts. if a company is going to use their own data they already trust themselves and could use a cheaper method of self-execution.

This type of self-execution is already being done.

Chainlink is decentralized because most transactions require more than one party to complete, in which case decentralized nodes offer the trustlessness needed to guarantee independence from either of the parties to the transaction.

the above is correct.

Inflation is good and encourages investment instead of people hording their money.

Why have your money sitting under your bed, or in the form of a useless gold bar when you could be lending it out to company who need it so they can make use of it and you might get back more than you lent. It's good for society.

If gold disappeared from the earth tomorrow, my dollar would be 10000% unaffected by this.

Man you really drank the cool aid on gold didn't you. It's just a fucking useless rock. It's the original fiat, but cumbersome. It's worthless aside from the minor tech uses it has in computer parts.

If society collapsed tomorrow I sure as hell wouldn't suddenly value people paying in gold over people paying in fiat. I don't think normies would give a single shit and fiat would continue to be in use.
