Looking back at Link

ass blaster

It's was just gambling in a certain way ?

Didn't read, not selling

Yes they got rich cause they just got lucky and nothing more

I have no idea how you could have missed it user
Those were some of the absolute best threads of all time
Crumbs everywhere. Tons of autistic investigating. Those were the days

Gambling that crypto needed reliable data from the real world rather than exclusively within itself.

Yeah, I didnt care back much then. I hadn't got my shit together yet

True, today its just one integration after the other. Its even hard to keep up with all the hackathons, new products, the best of the best of academic cryptography solving one core crypto issue after the other with LINK. Feeling old

It's gambling in the sense that there is risk and no guaranteed outcome. This is like any investing though. Nothing is truly certain to make money, just varying shades of likelihood. Even term-deposits have a technical risk, because the bank might collapse - unlikely, but it happens. But if you research and understand the project/company, it can help you as an investor make an informed decision about what you are investing in.

thanks user

Oracles are necessary and nobody else was doing as much as LINK

>it could have been just an other shitcoin
This was literally never even possible. If you think this is the case then you don't know anything about chainlink.

If you had spent as much time as we did theorizing use cases, and digging crumbs.
It may have been delusion, but it's a sure thing. It was a sure thing.
The Sergey/satoshi crumbs, and all the things you'd need an oracle for!
And a big community of frens to hold with, and to sell would be disloyal so that helped to hold.
And the memes, oh the memes!

I'm a loser and I didn't contribute as much as I'd like, but I watched the ropsten transactions and found linkpal, the vote, and the usps (for the hackathon) transactions, a week before the hackathon! I brought the new price feeds home back when there was only eth and I still feel proud.
The community though, we all talked each other certain that link was a sure thing and it really was.

All this money, but still I miss my secret club

The main reason I held was that while every other team was making constant blog and twitter posts hyping their product, everyone involved in LINK refused to shill. That compared with what LINK was trying to do made it obvious they were serious about what they were trying to create. The old shitcoins of the past also tended to have super specific use cases or were trying to copy bitcoin and ethereum. Chainlink does something unique and it can pass off any data the user wants vs only rfid data or price feeds or finance related stuff.

i like to ask myself about how many years you need to educate a normie to a point when he would be able to make an educated conscious decision about investing in chainlink in 2018. just how many degrees would you need to give to a normie?

More so a gamble based on that if anything in crypto, eg blockchains and smart contracts have any potential value they probably need data to function. A blockchain can't be decentralized if the data source isn't. Link were literally the only ones trying to solve this issue. Speculating on Link was like speculating on the market as a whole.

unprecedented level of high quality astroturfing and an insane level of effort put into promoting shit arguments

As much as we hate to admit.. we actually did get lucky. Let's face it, 90% of you probably stumbled upon it by chance instead of googling shit like "who is trying to solve the oracle problem". Yeah nobody ever did that. A handful of anons realized its importance early on and shilled it, then everybody just rode their coattails.

>>LINK shills may be autistic, but they're organic and grew from within this place.

No, they're not. They're paid for Indians, just like the BSV. Then legit anons on here starting shilling it because they fell for the kool-aid.

>started here

Not really. Sergey browsed here and started fudding other tokens and promoting his own, going so far as to lie and make up bullshit. He is and was a fraud to the core promoting his hyperwave sonic boom-boom bullshit token to the NEETs here and they fell for it hook, line and sinker.

The only difference is that CSW might actually have Satoshi's keys, if he tries to bruteforce enough wallets there might be a one in one hundred trillion billion chance he gets it. Whereas even if sergey in even smaller odds creates "muh decentralized oracle network" it still will and won't be worth shit, because tl:dr; no fucking use cases, ever.

remember when people read whitepapers, asked what problem does this solve, and debated the tech, instead of seeing which twitter shill told them what to do

> be me
> great bear comes
> shitcoins lose value
> see link threads consistently
> check one out
> peepee poopoo
> wtf is this static
> continue to check link threads
> in most of ab threads and early crumbs
> see through the fud
lucky would be to stumble upon ab or a crumb thread before the peepee poopoo threads

Even early Zig Forums the number of people who read the whitepaper was few. Most would make baseless fud threads to get spoonfed.
