Yes faggot, my bank has been around for 80 years before the fucking internet. It worked before the internet and it will work if China hacks the global telecommunications infrastructure.

Also, as a “global digital currency” how can I work with countries like Russia or North Korea for example? NK is for the most part off the grid, Russia has a firewall that can be activated instantaneously. I cite these examples because my fucking contracting firms conducts business with both countries. If I were to rely on magic fucking tokens, I could potentially lose money.

You do realize faggot that on any scenario that takes out the fucking internet, literally a network originally meant to be nuclear resistant, you will probably have much bigger problems to worry about?

The internet is not a fad. It is clearly a permanent feature of mankind from now on. It might be "new" but eventually the amount of history that will include an internet will exceed the amount of history without it.

Anything that damages it, will also be damaging food & water networks as well, so by that point you will have bigger worries.

And you might say "but muh gold" and "muh banknotes". Ha, ha. No. When things reach the stage of damaging the food and water networks, then those become fairly irrelevant as well. Why "accept" your gold, when I can simply place a trap or 10 on 1 abuse to kill you? (noticed I am not even talking about a fair fight or care how much you can bench press)

So are banknotes and gold idiot (minus any actual value it might have in chemistry/electronics). They only have value due to the manual internet of letters, talking, phone calls and social connections.

In reality the only things of value are:

Food
Time

If you intent to use machines to attempt to get those more efficiently then the next important thing becomes

Energy

And of coerce if you want to protect all of those, or have division of labour the next important thing unironically is:

The power of Friendship <3

(or at least "social capital" / people in your community)

None of them require "gold" or "banknotes", and it only becomes relevant when someone wants a default store of value to dick around with. It could equally well be lithium, seeds, slavery contracts, or btc.

this shit legitimately concerns me. been on /biz/ since what, 2014 iirc, and i've never seen such relentless shillery. XMR was legit, fucking PND was 'more legit' even than this LINK shit.
people, what you need to realise is that the circulating supply of chainlink is so vast, and i mean we're talking hundreds of millions of coins one day to be billions, is that the entire market capacity divided amongst those coins yields pitiful market value. Even if LINK had the fucking ENTIRE. WHOLE market cap of EVERY crypto in existence, because of it's circulating supply it'd only be worth FIVE DOLLARS.
I don't know who's orchestrating this scam, but i fear that trust in /biz/ might never be restored.
Want to invest and have literally any chance of it being in something lucrative? You need a coin whose value isn't so ludicrously spread. You are sharing this money with so, so many more people than is the case with something like our previous shillings, such as XMR. Not this LINK fucking catastrophe.

As for your suggestion that $175,584,976,605 / 1 billion = $499, well sir I'm afraid I have a calculator and as such will assert than you might go and make love to your mother with the utmost vigor.
A billion times 500 is half a trillion. Are you suggesting that LINK will one day be worth half a trillion dollars? When the entire crypto market cap is 175b? go fuck yourself.
If you are ASTONISHINGLY lucky, it MIGHT one day max out at five bucks a piece. The retarded suggestions I've seen on /biz/ that it could one day be worth a grand or anything even close? It would need a market cap OF A TRILLION DOLLARS or more.
