I’m tired of reading all the absolute schizo delusion on this board, so take a seat Zig Forums, I’ll tell you a secret that’s already been accepted by everyone in the know: Chainlink is never going to bring about the type of decentralized connectivity that you cultist simpletons think it will. You know why? Because data, by definition, IS NOT decentralized. It comes from proprietary sources who have exactly _zero_ incentive to willingly, and for meager compensation, publish this data into the brandless “truth-cloud” that is the Chainlink network, only to be aggregated and resold by third parties, namely; the node operators. The companies selling said data have spent years, sometimes decades building strong brands in their respective fields and markets, not to mention the standardization tools, relationships with the (measurement-level) sources etc... Do you honestly think they’re going to willingly let some pimplefaced nerd come in between them and the customer with their branded ChainlinkTM node and risk that nerd fucking up their long fought for reputation? Not to mention the financial cost to the data provider of having a middleman, who does nothing, getting a lion’s share of the revenue. You can’t make something out of nothing. Much like an economy doesn’t have things unless it has factories, an oracle, not to mention a network of oracles, doesn’t have data unless it has providers.

>B-b-but aggregation will replace single-source oracles!
Let’s, for the moment, set aside the fact that only source level aggregation matters, while node level aggregation is absolutely pointless and idiotic. How exactly do you propose to aggregate 90% of the world’s data? The biometrics will be aggregated by the user wearing two smart watches, one on each wrist? The shipping crate will have multiple IoT devices (min. 3 for n/m) from multiple companies simultaneously? You know how retared you sound? To make matters even worse, even for source-level aggregation, what exactly is achieved by pairing a Bloomberg ticker with Alice’s Stock Market API and Bob’s Market Prices? That’s right - a less trustworthy feed. The inconvenient truth is that aggregation is all smoke and mirrors, impossible for most of anything besides a DeFi crypto price feed, and, at least at present, largely useless even there. Hell, you don’t even know where the Chainlink Price Reference feed nodes are getting their data! Could be a Coinmarketcap scraper for all you know. Of course none of this matters, because Chainlink is the centralized party governing the data feeds, and most of you don’t actually care about any of this anyway, as long as 1000EOY.

>believing that a fucking json parser is a revolutionary technology

Now, maybe this isn’t enough to sway you. Maybe you can do some mental gymnastics around the issue of centralization. Let’s say you’re an enterprise smart contract developer. How would you go about connecting your company’s backend database to a smart contract? Create an adapter for it and publish it on market.link? Congratulations, you just dun goofed yourself out of a job by exposing private information to anonymous third parties. Run your own Chainlink node? Can you? Think your manager is going to hire a full-time developer at around $10k/month to manage a Chainlink node 24/7? Because that’s what you need. And even if you can do it, it’s not going to be decentralized anyway, so why use something as complicated as Chainlink, instead of, say, Provable? Maybe you’ll ask an existing node operator to run the node for you? Great, you’re back to trusting a third party.

Mind you, I’m not saying Chainlink is completely useless, but in the world of data the tail is 90% of the body, and that tail is undecentralizable at the source level. Chainlink is great for the remaining 10%, but connecting the tail is a much bigger problem. It is also the reason why, to this date, the oracle problem remains unsolved.

P.S. No need to recycle the old “Everyone’s adopting Chainlink so fuck off!” trope. Just look at the facts: Yes, DeFi is adopting Chainlink, because crypto market data falls within the aforementioned 10%. Now, DeFi is going to become huge and, hell, even ISDA is probably on board, so you’ll get your on-chain derivatives and become rich in the next bull run! Congratulations. However, that’s about the extent of it. You know why Chainlink has 500 partners? Why every literal who is announcing they’re partnering with Chainlink? Because it pumps the price of their shitty token. Unfathomable for those blue eyed Linkies, I know.

Chainlink solves price reference data feeds. Not the oracle problem.

Thanks for your continued interest in our financial well being niggerfag

>somebody actually typed all of this out for the sole purpose of being a fucking retard on the internet
holy crap

one stupid fucking retard arent you?

The average Linkie, Exhibit A

How's the Kool Aid? Remember to drink the whole cup, like the mindless sheep you are.

>Y-y-you're fucking retarded!
Nice counter argument. Good to see Linkies versed in the art of rhetoric.
