Just got back from SmartCon 22

[Anonymous No.51724683]

It was pretty fun but absolutely overblown. Most of the "headliners" have nothing to do with Chainlink

>Huffington didn't mention LINK once
>SBF didn't even show up in person
>Balaji shilled his book
>No launches or releases (December is Q4)
>The media section was almost completely empty
>All of the bathrooms were flooding or out of supplies
>The venue was sloppy
>Some of the attendees said they weren't interested in LINK
>90% of the conference was shilling other projects

No wonder Schmidt was slamming plaid for not advertising his project. Where was CNBC, Bloomberg or Fox Business? Where was the staking announcement AT the event? Why did so many crypto bros talk over the presenters in the back of the room?

I've been to a number of conferences and this was one of the worst. After the Schmidt talk it completely died. DTCC and BNY Mellon were thrown in to seem like they are on the LINK train. This project was once top 5 but I don't see how it maintains top 25.

If I wandered in off the street and didn't know anything about Link or crypto, I'd assume this was some sort of glorified Holiday Inn Amway pitch.

You really have to pick through what they were staying, but it was very bullish.
It's the opposite of a polished turd.
We're dealing with an uncut diamond, and it's only a little bit of superficial marketing and top level leadership that's keeping Link from pumping to the top 3.

They're doing their best to keep the power level hidden, but it's not going to be something they'll be able to pull off much longer.
Load up while you can, boys

I can confirm, I physically attended the smartcon conference held by chainlink ticker LINK in new york city and only just now flew back to my home country of bulgaria and I must tell you sincerely my dear friends as a former believer in chainlink ticker LINK just like you, after this utter fiasco I am now urging you people to sell about your chainlink tokens ticker LINK the food served was lukewarm, one of the toilets was clogged and one of the founders, steve ellis, kept yawning really loudly whenever one of the guests started speaking, I will not attend further conferences held by chainlink ticker LINK in the future and I predict it will therefore crash to zero following this disaster

Most of what you said is true, I was there too. I didn’t think it was quite as bad as you though. The final panel was quite well attended, even though it was pretty lame, which is rare. I also thought the venue was really nice. The thing is, people knew these talks would be on YouTube at some point. The real things happening were the developers networking etc. I only went because I’ve held and been interested in Chainlink since 2017.

Okay LG frens that's a wrap!
weirdest SmartCon 22 moment go
For me it was day one at the very start I was sitting near the front and the announcer said in a loud Big Brother voice
>"Attention All SmartCon 22 Attendees, The Playing of "Under the Sea" and any other Songs related to Crabs and The Little Mermaid is Strictly Forbidden at SmartCon 22"
They repeated the same announcement on Day Two weird right?

Oh right another weird thing. After York's presentation I went over to say hi and there were a few others around him so I joined the group but every time someone mentioned their project or developing he would interrupt and take a selfie with that person then say "this is going on my Twitter" then just ignore the person and talk to the next one. When I tried to push the issue saying I am interested in developing with ZKs he changed the topic to Vitalik and his Twitter account always he would mention that he could message Vitalik on Twitter sometime during the conversation. I got my photo taken with him after that and he said "this is going on my Twitter" then he just walked away.

I heard this story over a few drinks at the SmartCon 22 After Party so I cannot attest to the veracity of the claims but, anyways, I'll just tell it verbatim, as it was told to me...

I was at SmartCon 22 and needed to use the bathroom, so I went in and before long there's the sound of the door opening and a guy comes in and knocks at my stall.

*KNOCK* *KNOCK* *KNOCK* *KNOCK* *KNOCK* *KNOCK* *KNOCK*

He knocked seven times exactly, apparently, at least according to the person who told me this story after a few drinks.
"Umm yes?" I murmured, a little unsure of what was going to happen next.
"Its ChainlinkGod, open up!" came a loud voice in reply.
"I'm sorry?" I responded in a questioning way
*BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG*
"ITS CHAINLINKGOD FROM TWITTER OPEN UP" The yelling and banging were enough to set my teeth on edge and send chills down my spine but I gathered up all my courage and I challenged him in my bravest voice
"how do I know it's you?"
"You know who I am don't you?"
"I dont know your face" I admitted
"I'm from Twitter" he repeated again as if it gave further truth to his claims
"OPEN THIS STALL WE NEED TO TALK" He shouted and began shaking the door with all his might. The hinges began to buckle and I thought all hope was lost so I tried to get him to calm down, "prove it" I squeezed out in a squeaky voice.
He stopped shaking the toilet stall door for a moment and asked how
"Are you wearing your famous mask?"
He said he had forgotten it on flight to SmartCon 22.
I thought for a moment but this "Chainlinkgod" character was impatient and began shouting and shaking the toilet stall door again "YOU KNOW ME IM FROM TWITTER"
I asked if he could tweet something to prove who he was and he stopped shaking the door and asked for a special code word, I said use Big Macs and he did. I checked Twitter and sure enough there it was a certified on-demand Big Mac tweet from the account he claimed to be.

[Anonymous No.51725718]

>>51725698
I apologized and Chainlinkgod now real after verifying his identity, he said "you can never be too careful" so I got up flushed the toilet, pulled my pants up and opened the stall.

And after that there was a silence as the guy who told me this story finished chugging his seventh beer of the evening. He looked at me and said, "do you know who he saw when he opened the door?"

Obviously the answer came to me straight away and I said "Chainlinkgod" but the guy shook his head and said no there was no one there.

To think I almost got a flight ticket from Europe.
This whole event makes me really feel shitty about Link, it's the first time I feel this way (not ICO OG but day 1 binance).
The conference was quite underwhelming and when probe people here the answers you get are these :
>>51724757 >>51724771 >>51724798 >>51724814 >>51724827
/biz/ really lost the plot, I'm scared to say it but Link might have caught the XRP syndrome.
It's honestly digusting.
Schmidt being "on board" doesn't make it any different.

Were there any redeeming qualities to the event? Were /biz/tards recognizable? At least that could have been fun.
What was the atmosphere?

I saw link jesus and other autists wandering, they stuck out like a sore thumb. Long, unkempt beards and shitty clothing. None of the rich devs went near them

And yes, I got Ripple vibes. There is nothing ready in the next 1-2 years, always about the future. We are constantly kicking the can down the road, and holders pay the price. ETH early buyers are shopping for villas and flying first class, early LINK buyers are literally going back to work (3 og's told me they're selling tokens to survive at an unsustainable rate)

What use-case do we have anyway?
Gambling, really? Last time I checked market.link nobody was querying sports data.
Parametric insurance is still a pipedream.

What we have is keepers which we had with Cronje, and pricefeeds for zero-sum circular defi dogshit trading.
Maybe VRFs which is arguably their most useful product currently.

Schmidt dropped the "decade" long building meme, so I wouldn't hold my breath.
Maybe it is better to just invest in speculative trash, or just keep it all in BTC since there seem to be a lot of idiots like Saylor.

I went full retard and wiped half my shit.
I also wanted to say that if we wanted true link upswings, it would have to achieve it though tokenomics, because the speculative value is low compared to other cryptos.
Unless we see something like staking v1 we'd have to rely on currently available services that require Link.

Chainlink automation is used, vrf is used, price feeds are used. Why nobody has yet leveraged chili and its marketing sports token for a partnership with chainlink to query live sportsdata from reuters is a mystery.

I could as well play with leveraged boomer index funds. The future potential is limited, btc is on top of the S. Link isn't, and its still volatil enough with enough liquidity to day trade that shit

It's over bros, LINK is not new tech, a hidden gem, or a coming 10-100x. LINK is mainstream and is in Twitter roasties bios. It’s a corporate entity now, so Sergey has to dump another 750k LINK to hire talent managers and diversity officers. LINK hasn’t been the biz token for over 2 years now. Just sell anons... i-i-iit’s over. It was a good ride.

>On Wednesday, Chainlink and SWIFT announced they’re working on “an initial proof of concept” using Chainlink’s cross-chain interoperability protocol (CCIP), which provides a standard for communication between blockchains. In plain English, this means that the 11,000 banks connected to SWIFT will have the option to engage in token transfers across chains—a typically very risky endeavor.
