this is how chainlink became successful: Sergey lied
He got some guy to write a theoretical computer science paradox in the whitepaper thats impossible to do in a decentralized manner, and convinced everyone in the crypto space to use decentralized oracles. Everyone smart knew decentralized oracles were inpossible to do, Vitalik himself said so, but Sergey lied to SWIFT and basically the whole world that they are possible and going to use the 100 m he got to do so.
2 years later, we learn LINK really is just a centralized JSON parser that uses KYC, and that all centralized oracle businesses were forced into bankrupcy because of sergeys campaign for deventralization, and without any other oracle service in town, Sergey pays off a bunch shitcoin developers and low level staff at oracle to use chainlink
hes quite an evil man
