Unlike the indian (rubics) scam coins we see shilled here constantly who are called "the new LINK", LINK was never shilled in bad faith. The growth of it's popularity was purely organic, for all of you who frequented /biz/ late 2017-2019 you would know this.

Sure there were many, many threads made everyday but not in order to shill but to discuss breadcrumbs and new information. The FUD was elaborate and had its own flavor like shadow fork, Jason Parser, Big Mac addiction, Mobius and Rory. The memes and infographic charts were beyond anything we had seen too, and the Gets were unbelievable. I've been frequenting this board for the past 6 months after being away for 2 years, and NOTHING has caught my attention like LINK did back in late 2017. There is no other coin currently circulating /biz/ with the same cult following as LINK had. Is it simply a matter of being at the right place at the right time, and /biz/ back then was just that? In the last decade we saw three coins that outshined the rest: Bitcoin, Ethereum and Chainlink. I really hope we see three new ones this decade and that /biz/ will be the place to discover them

yee as someone who's been on this board since 2016, nothing really stuck like LINK. The board definitely goes thru phases where new coins are popular and discussed a lot but they usually phased out pretty quickly. I remember XLM and Tron being huge in 2017 but now they've faded to irrelevancy for the most part. At least on this board.

I share your thoughts anon... been here since the ICO but didn’t invest until months after... I guess GRT seems promising and of course the usual Uni SNX aave blah blah but yeah pretty much nothing compares to link. It was the equivalent of finding ethereums sidekick and anyone with a brain knew they would be inseparable projects. I have held my link since I bought and stilll buy occasionally. I’m so desensitized to the price it pains me though. It could go to 50 overnight or 10 overnight and I would believe both. I think we are in good hands though. Link/btc looks ready as well. Agree there is too many scams on biz now it’s a shame

The link journey has been rendered useless by several significant factors
* link shills alienated everyone in the space. It's really hard for companies to take Sergey and friends seriously. In fact the team often have to wait and listen to vicious laughter after identifying themselves
* link went up less that doge. Doge hodlers have already made it while linkies blog post on twitter about muh future revolutionary tech that's always coming soon
* Whales structured the entire scam. They stole memetics from digi marines then astro turfed the entire shitposting campaign using Indians they found on fiverr
*trannies are a plague with link. Linkies have an aversion to being social which is why connecting to external shit means so much to them but they don't understand how to connect so they make multiple trips and talk to themselves for hours in the same thread

Is LINK worth investing into at this point in time, if you haven't before?

I've been recommended by friends in crypto to split among BTC-ETH-LINK. I'm hoping BTC will dip first before I end up being a sucker buying at the top. I'm going to go heavy into ETH because it seems like its set to increase several times over this year.

But LINK? I have honestly no idea.

All of you poor poor fags, you all bought link and you missed out. When can a journey that Rose quickly from $12 up to nearly $30. And then the people that wanted to make money and were scamming this coin, when I hadn't sold and the shit tanked to $18 or so and then it's steady. Around $23. I know it sucks, but that's it. The rest of you held on and you are too afraid to let go because of all the different coins the Shilling 4-link was the best. They made you think it was so much more than it really is. So you keep holding because you know that as time goes on, things generally go up. Well this isn't going to go up much. You should go ahead and put your shit into something else because piece of shit stable coins like Bitcoin are going to have better games over the next three to six months that link. Link will die out within another year or two. It's done.

Reasons why Link will fail

1. Zero customers, zero need. No one is going to pay for information to be inserted into a smart contract. That's what an oracle is supposed to do. The problem is a x100 calls costs a x100 times whatever Link charges. If you have to make thousands of calls, that's hundreds of dollars in Link tokens. If I were a dev, it would be much simpler to just make my own call to whatever data I needed.

2. Zero development, all marketing. Link has hired shills, link started on biz and Sergey himself got the inspiration to post, network with and contact people on biz. That's why begging is not allowed on biz, because after link a lot of other tokens tried to copy them. There's a lot of disingenuous shills saying that Link was only made for business cases and biz was never supposed to discover it. Quite the opposite, it was made first as a marketing token.

3. Deceitful. The Link team lies continuously; they'll attend a conference (SIBOS) and say they're partnered with Swift which is a banking protocol that handles these bank conferences, implying that they're going to handle data for big banks. They contacted the Google dev to make an offical blogpost and thus said that they're "partnered" when in fact, it's just a mention. They stretch the truth.

4. Zero transparency. Link raised 32 million in it's ICO. Since then, we have no accounting of their funds. They market dumped twenty to thirty million worth of chainlink (we still don't know the full amount) and never said a word about it. They're still dumping here and there, even larger amounts and believe they are free to do so at any time.

5. Cult-like behavior. 90% of the memes made by Chainlink pose Sergey as this kind of messiah. They encourage zero compromise grounds that anyone should sell their token. They encourage people to buy their tokens despite; mortgages, spousal issues and even when their "investors" are homeless they'll encourage people to buy more.

Much of that is actual token holders executing transactions because they want to pump their bags, so they execute small orders. Secondly, a lot of that is the actual heartbeat network, chainlink themselves running continual orders to "ensure" their network stays afloat, essentially make it a talking point like you have here. We know zero actual people use chainlink because there are NO DAPPS that actually use their service. Zero. None.

And there never will be, because the cost of using their API will exceed hosting costs such as AWS by many, many multiples. If they wanted to become like AWS for information retrieval in terms of cost, they would need tons of infrastructure which I haven't heard a single peep about. Just more useless marketing which devs, shills or however closely related you are to the team, post here.

The idea doesn't make sense. The service doesn't make sense. And even if it were to, the costs, gargantuan as they are, would not make sense for any company... particularly small startups with zero budget. This is why chainlink is so desperate to show some development by other tokens (the infamous MOAB deflationary token tweet) so that they can marketdump some more and continue their marketing.

Lastly, before I finish this proper spanking and send you home, the service you are referring to is just a contract side price query for Ethereum. Useless because I could do the same thing for ZERO cost with this,

https://api.coinmarketcap.com/v1/ticker/ethereum/

or

https://api.etherscan.io/api?module=stats&action=ethprice

Are you seriously telling me you retards spent over 50 million trying to do that? Create something which I can get a link for and execute immediately then send to a contract I control?

Either one of these services cost zero unless I were to make many calls. Let's compare. It costs me about $600 to make 10,000 calls daily... for either one of those APIs... chainlink costs about I think a third of a token?

1/3 of Chainlink, let's give you guys the benefit and say it's $1.00, so about .33 cents. Let's round down more. 30 cents. It costs me 30 cents a call.

10.000 x .3 = $3,000 for one day

vs

$600 for one day

Let's pick the shortest month of the year, 28 days. So in 28 days it would be...

10.000 x .3 = $3,000 x 28 = $84000 (a dev's annual salary)

vs

$600 for one month

Hmmm. Even if they got the cost of their API down to a fifth (which they won't) and the PRICE WENT DOWN (contrary to what the holders want), it would still, NEVER BE AFFORDABLE

Don't you faggots EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER tell me the shilling was "organic." It never fucking was, only gullible idiots got roped in.

THREE YEARS OF PUTTING UP WITH YOUR SHIT, NOT FUCKING BUYING, NOT FUCKING READING
