Why didn’t LINK go to $100 last year in the summer?

[Anonymous No.51005050]

It was going to $100+ until the May 2021 death candle. Why did LINK die right as it was poised to go to triple digits?

[Anonymous No.51005079]

There is a laundry list of people suppressing this token. Celsius/Mashinsky, SBF, Simeon and Nexo, Sergey, SWIFT, too many to list. This isn't going up until we all capitulate

[Anonymous No.51005106]

But why? Why just not let it go to $100 during the last bullrun? So many tokens did 1000x regardless, LINK could’ve went to $100 and had crashed with the market anyway and it would’ve been fine.

All I needed was $100+ to put it through my thick skull I should sell. But unfortunately my retarded gambler brain didn’t get the price target, and now I’m down 90%. It’s my fault obviously, but that’s all LINK needed to do and my life would’ve been so much better.

[Anonymous No.51005184]

Because the team scammed their own investors. 500k weekly dumps, shilling celsius who actively shorted them. Sergey’s karmic debt is MASSIVE at this point, which helps me sleep at night

That was sarcasm anon. Fact of the matter is the public has no reason to buy this over a shitcoin going up 3x in 24 hours, or something like ETH which you need to send said shitcoins to a DEX. LINK would've gone to $100 if they released 0.1 last summer, or someone like Elon or Mark Cuban tweeted about it. That's how fickle the markets are

nah, you're just simple-minded
half of the interesting usecases don't need oracles
the other half get more from truly decentralized oracles than centralized oracle aggregators masquerading as decentralized
realistically there's no need to tie a shitcoin to a robust decentralized oracle system

Yeah, really hurts in retrospect. I was completely unable to mentally sell any LINK under $100. $100 was the first mega cash out point for me. Less than a 2x from making it and now I’m sitting here on a Friday night depressed wondering what could’ve been.

All that was needed was just SOME sort of staking coming out last year, and the hype would’ve been huge and easily pushed LINK into triple digits. I don’t understand why Sergey couldn’t just do this staking 0.1 stuff last year, and everyone would’ve won (both team and investors).

[Anonymous No.51005605]

>>51005486
The problem is he didn't say his plans got delayed by the ETH merge delay.
Look at this slide from his initial presentation.
Not only the growth in contract calls got stalled by the mini bear market this year, but CCIP was a big plan for this year's increase in smart contract usage.
You don't add 50% of your previous year's contract usage in 2 month when releasing a new feature.

This chart hints that the release of CCIP got delayed and reality won't fit with this chart.
It will be interesting to see how Sergey updates his chart after this year ends.
We will then likely see that the smart contract growth has been slower than expected in his initial planning for this year.

All the important features bringing new income sources and growth have been delayed by ETH. This delay is 5-6 month this year, but the reason we had to wait so long for staking is because ETH kept delaying their updates and not delivering on the scalability.

It's a wonder it even hit 50. The only reason it did so was because long time holders hyped it enough to offload their bags for a 250x profit. Ever wonder why the OG's all left /biz/?

I am excited to receive stanking rewards from LINK token on the Chainlink Laboratories token network. This is a very good opportunity to buy Chainlink token to stank soon.

Because it's not worth $100. It only reach $50 during peak euphoria ffs. Even if the token did represent a part ownership in company which it doesn't, how much profit do they generate to justify that kind of valuation?

Was LUNA worth the top 10 marker at the top? Point is LINK should’ve done more. Market makers sucked and also Sergey didn’t hype correctly.

Still could’ve BSed some hype but oh well.

[Anonymous No.51006458]

At the end of the day, if Sergey was dedicated to building a massive ware chest by selling 700k+ LINK weekly, why didn’t he just hype the token during the first half of 2021 and get $100+ LINK? Would’ve been better for everyone involved.

[Anonymous No.51006699]

My gut just tells me something isn't quite right with Chainlink at this point. I've really been iffy about their marketing leading up to SmartCon. First of all the initial pricing was outrageous. Whoever came up with $1477 should be fired. Absurd and unforgivable miscalculation. That fuck up has led to one of the most pathetic and desperate attempts of saving face I've ever seen. It's clear no one was paying $1477, and so they had to do huge discounts all the way down to $249 and come up with all sorts of incentives begging people to come. As soon as we got the Big Mac shit I just can't wrap my head around what the fuck they're thinking. First of all, it's insanely cringe and fucking lame that they're directly acknowledging the Big Mac shit. Second of all, it's screaming desperation. Something about it just really pisses me off that after 5 years, where we missed the bull run and have now gone down 90%, this is when they decide to reach out to their most dedicated supporters? I really don't understand the thought process. A part of me is concerned about how naive and daft they are, do they really think people are going to be stoked to sit face to face with the guy responsible for the last 2 years of pathetic price action? Unless they've really got something huge up their sleeve for SmartCon (seriously doubt it) then I'm just amazed at what they were thinking beyond pure desperation.
>>51005486
>Let's hope the CEO change rumor is real
This is quite possibly the dumbest fucking rumor that has emerged on this shithole. Was it really a rumor that just started because some retarded faggot noticed that Sergey's title on the SmartCon website is just "Co-founder"? See pic related and please put this retarded "rumor" to rest. He's been strictly referred to as just co-founder for a very long time now. And no, Eric Schmidt is not going to become CEO. He's way past that point in his career.

He's a fucking retard, he's not the God /biz/ makes him out to be. Biggest bull run in crypto history and he fumbled it completely. Bagholders will come up with a bunch of cope to justify it though. So fucking glad I didn't mess up the second run up in July. Also it was sort of obvious on one hand that Link wouldn't do shit after 100xing in a bear market.

>a latefag

and deserve your current predicament
anyone with a decent 2018 stack (five figs) have no excuse. the game plan was simple, pick some price targets (10, 20, 50, 100 etc) and exit with a small % of your position at each increment and improve your life while you wait. just selling 1k at 10, 1k at 20 and 1k at 50 would have netted you 80k, for a mid 20s guy this is enough to ride it out until you make it or enough to get a mortgage and start a business
making it with 100% of your original stack with 5 years spent in squalor or 90% making it moving your life forward, make your choice

yeah that smartcon stuff has been bizarre especially with the collapsing of Bancor and Celcius. We would need a major fucking turnaround to make the micmac with Sergey even slightly less awkward. who knows maybe we are on the precipice of a huge bunch of announcements.
I've been buying more but it is painful.

[Anonymous No.51008225]

>>51005934
Post proof with statistics and an explanation for the "early announcement", DON staking wallet movement preparation in April, unplanned crash of both ETH and Chainlink and silence after that when the merge got delayed.
Someone from a Discord telling you something didn't happen is as believable as a jew saying he didn't steal your money.
In the best case he really believes this because he hasn't been told anything due to fears of information leaking, in the worst case he is lying.

Price movement is like water waves. Sergey created a big wave with his initial announcement, and when nothing happened this wave created a very strong reflection which pushed the price down with the same strength it pushed the price up.
He went through multiple crypto cycles and should know better than anyone what happens when you create hype and let it die.

Staking needs a high earning income source and increased efficiency to be tolerable by node operators as it decreases their profits.
Many things hint that they were waiting for the merge to improve the situation. For example with CCIP, but also the partner growth program and becoming more important in the ETH infrastructure and getting recognized as a public good by it with the advantages this brings.

I am a poorfag and have taken profits for the past three years. I have sold around ~1000 link, a pittance compared ot my total stack. I pay bills because my lifestyle is slightly mismatched with my wagie job. If you want to know what bleh feels like it is selling link to pay a power bill. Having said that I am glad I have been selling.. but also annoyed I didn't sell a bit more when it was above $40 as it would have resulted in me selling less now.
