what's the deal with LINK price action? it has only ever pumped seriously once in 5 years

aside from the team token dumps to fund development, what other reasons are behind the price being throttled? is it whales shorting LINK to suppress price action?

The business case for smart contracts simply isn’t as strong as previously believed. It’s a very simple answer, it’s not likely to involve some complicated scheme with Jews, Bulgarians, whales, and trannies.

This.
>>50142478
It’s used for oracle functionality to transfer messages and a payment amount for the oracle call. It’s really an ingenious system, I’d highly recommend anyone to read the whitepaper. But from an investment standpoint, it simply isn’t designed to incentivize people to buy it, become rich, and then dump it like every other crypto including Bitcoin.

presumably lack of interest, as much as people get asshurt about it. David Portnoy was shilling this shit from $12-18 and there was some interest but at that point it was several years after ICO and many OGs probably took profits by selling into the hype. I appreciated the significance of oracles back when I first started developing in solidity, but I stack a relatively small amount because there's better upside elsewhere. It has a very promising future in my opinion, but who knows when that will come to fruition.

Chainlink is old and useless nowadays. Being replaced by Kenshi right now for causing so many exploits. No fud, just reality

>> No.50142604

I'm actually more qualified to talk about this than most anons.I'm employed with a cyber-techno machinations company, I do a lot of security analyst programming type work. Open source, decentralized, APIs, partnerships, you name it. We'd be one of the first companies in line for something like Chainlink, if the decentralized smart contract space had more value over traditional data exchanges. There's a catch though, an underlying flaw more deeply embedded in the bedrock of LINK than the very code itself. The flaw is with the concept, and it's this: Companies won't actually go through the hassle of trusting their data API's through crypto.

Now I can already hear your keyboards going frantic, but hear me out. /biz/ hates banks, and traditional data providers. But actual companies, businesses, and investors do not. There's an old saying you might have heard of: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!". The idea that any of our bosses would give us the go ahead if we approached them to put our companies valuable data in a smart contract on a cryptocurrency called Chainlink, that they've never heard of, we'd be laughed out at best and fired on the spot at worst. We already have API data buyers and providers we trust.

'But Chainlink is trustless!' I hear you cry, but is that really a good thing? Just listen to the sound of it. Businesses don't want to spend millions of dollars on something that is trustLESS, they want something trustFUL. 'But the reputation system!', doesn't that defeat the whole point of your coin? If companies only trust nodes with high reputation, what's the difference between trusting banks and data providers that already have reputation, but in real life not on a computer screen.

The fact is, LINK is going to share the same fate as ETH will. A lot of 'real world application' hype, with a lot of 'crypto world application' reality. Only, this billion supply coin isn't going to come close to the $1k that Etherum hit. Happy gambling though anons.

Today there's a large variety of blockchains using fundamentally different tech. They can't easily "talk" to eachother. You might have read about "bridges" being hacked or exploited, and bridges seek to facilitate transactions between different chains (Solana is a chain, Ethereum is a chain, etc). CCIP allows interoperability between different chains. That's basically as simple as one could make it without writing a novel.

yeah unfortunately I'm inclined to agree. I used to think that everything on BSC was aids but utility existed elsewhere. I've gradually come to accept that crypto in general might just become a new retard market for retail that doesn't close on the weekends. For every jeet scam that gets posted I start debating the value in governmental bodies nuking everything that isn't bitcoin.

i just think that link holders are a bit deluded, some of these guys on here have been holding 5 years straight and have their entire lives on hold waiting for the big pump that might never happen

like you need to understand that crypto works in cycles, and there's always a gimmick that pushstarts the cycle, 2017 it was privacy/forks/btc coming to mainstream

2020-2021 was nft's/defi/metaverse shit

who knows what's next, but all i'm saying is that crypto goes fast and you should never just rely on one single coin

>> No.50142872

>>50142822

dude people have been saying this shit since it launched

just wait for mainnet then it will pump to 1k

just wait for the bank partnership ann and it will pump to 1k

what else

now it's just wait for staking and it will shoot up

but historically speaking none of these big 'announcements' did anything for price

That's like a company saying they are happy with their horse and carts and don't see the need for these new fangled cars with all the complex moving parts that can go wrong, and the need for gasoline. Eventually if something is a technological improvement it will be adopted by everyone. First by more dynamic, visionary companies and then eventually even by antiquated 'cyber techno" Boomer companies like yours because they will be completely left behind otherwise.
