I cant tell if the shills are simply incredibly dumb, gullible rubes or if they are all paid?
There's no way people can still be defending this project without getting paid to do so, right?

one time I tried to sneak a fart but it was liquid shit luckily I stopped just in time to only slick up my cheeks a lil bit so I could just wipe but I think my coworkers could tell

>>61217461
It's not yet clear to everyone that the bullrun is over. But when it is, and people look back at Chainlink last token dump just few hours before the end of the run and the bitcoin dump, that's when they'll start turning on them

>>61217520
Nah, the shills refuse to believe they were getting dumped on

peeling

>>61217461
why do they look like relatives

Chainlink in 2017:
>we will unlock 650m tokens

fuddies in 2025:
>OMFG HOW DARE THEY UNLOCK 650m TOKENS????

Every single fucking day.

>>61218791
Chainlink in 2017
>holy shit, we need to buy as many LINK as possible because this is the next ETH and it's going to skyrocket to triple digits in 3 years or less
fast-forward 8 years
Chainlink in 2025
>LINK is below 20 bucks, no LINK holders have made it, and we all have to see Chainlink Labs dumping billions of dollars to pay outrageous salaries to 700 do nothing work from home parasites, pay for dumb conferences, and host parties and happy hours
No refuting a single thing I wrote. All 100% truth

>>61219752
So market sell your stack and buy zcash, its pumping right now

>>61219752
We've known for eight years that Chainlink was unlocking those 650 million tokens.
Eight years.
8.

In fact, we knew about this before the ICO, so before a single token was sold to anyone.
The fact that you're still whining about this all day every single day after EIGHT years makes you simultaneously the dumbest and the saddest sack of shit on this entire planet.

>>61219803
you are such a lying, manipulative, piece of shit, fishy. they are not "unlocks", they are dumps. quit trying to spin that narrative of the tokens simply being unlocked
and if you were actually here in 2017, you would know that everyone realized that 300mm would be dumped, not 650mm. the remaining 350mm earmarked for node operators was thought to be tokens given to large corporations to encourage them to use the network - not to simply be dumped on the holders at the whims of sergey & co 8 years later because the chainlink network is still unsustainable and unprofitable after 8 years. you're such a fucking twat

>>61219864
>they are not "unlocks", they are dumps.
So how have Chainlink been paying nodes ever since mainnet launched in May 2019?

kek linkies

>>61219864
If you believe that there are better investments out there just simply sell your linkies and buy those better investments

Like i said zcash is pumping right now

kek fuddies

>>61219875
by dumping tokens on our asses you dumb motherfucker
they already blew through their first 300mm trache and the network still cant sustain itself so they have moved onto the 350mm tranche
why do you think sergey always says this is the year every year for the last 6 years? i'm sure he could have never anticipated that 6+ years after mainnet the network still needs subsidies to survive

>>61219904
say something useful or just shut the fuck up
you know you have nothing of value to add and can't argue any point when you reply with, "just sell"

>>61219924
>by dumping tokens
So CLL dumped Link for fiat, and then bought Link back again with that fiat in order to pay the nodes?

stinkchink was fundamentally designed to impovrish holders from ever making it

>what he came for: incredible altcoin coins

>what happened: he now tracks internet guys' beating off, and his god is a 26 yr old trans with a fake beard

brutal

>>61219803

look how enraged this guy gets when one dares question his cult
he legitimately can't fathom someone has the gall


this is one of the many examples of the absolute mental destruction the cult has inflicted on its naive investors

>>61219932
Or did they simply take unlocked Link and give that to the nodes?
Whaddya think?
See pic.

>>61220024
Answer the question big boy, which of these happened:

Scenario 1:
1) unlock Link
2) sell Link for fiat ("dumping")
3) buy Link back with fiat
4) pay node with Link

Scenario 2:
1) unlock Link
2) pay node with Link

>>61220029
Now post this same image from within the past year, IE after they ran out of their 300m tranche.
A picture from 5 years ago, a single year after mainnet launch, means nothing

>>61219864
>they are not unlocks they are dumps
so, what would an 'unlock' look like? i'm keen to learn. please tell us the difference.

>>61220078
So you now agree that CLL were paying nodes 5 years ago from the unlocks.

Now when did CLL stop paying the nodes for the feeds, and who is paying them instead?

>>61219752
>pay for dumb conferences, and host parties and happy hours

Getting people to mingle, network and ultimate collaborate on building applications for your platform is pretty fucking important.

What you should had said was

> Chainlink in 2017
> The entire banking industry is going to use Chainlink! HOLY SHIT WE GOTTA BUY MORE 1K EOY!

> Chainlink in 2025
> The entire banking industry is using Chainlink! WHY THE FUCK IS THE PRICE NOT EVEN $20?

>>61220357
>> The entire banking industry is using Chainlink!

can you post some transactions that support this

>>61220053
>which of these happened:

i don't know but what's the difference at the end of the day?

the foundation gets keeps usd, then sends link from their supply to a node who then sells it right off

>>61220078
>>61220142
The answer is they never stopped paying the node operators for the feeds.

And you literally just agreed that Chainlink have been paying the nodes out of "their 300m tranche" until "within the past year".
So for 5 years straight, Chainlink have been paying nodes out of the company development tranche, instead of the tranche for node operators.

>>61220402
>what's the difference at the end of the day?
This faggot is pretending it's all "dumped" instead of going to the nodes.

>>61220132
Seems the kekfuddies have no answer for this

>>61220421
Do you have a reading comprehension issue?
I asked for an image of them paying from within the past year IE AFTER they have already exhausted their 300mm development fund
the answer is simple. the 350mm meant for node operators at the outset (which was assumed to be going to large institutions to grow the network) has turned into another Chainlink labs treasury fund because the network is still unsustainable and unprofitable for node operators. why do you think staking 1.0 hasn't happened yet? chainlink labs probably didn't anticipate things this taking so long, cue Sergey with "this is the year" for the past 6 years. they figured the network would be sustainable by now, but it's not, so they have to dump tokens to keep the nodes afloat. isn't that hard to comprehend, really.
if you were here in 2017-2018, you would know the discussion about those 350mm tokens was about them going to large corps, and Chainlink labs never bothered to set the record straight. so they have basically turned that allocation into Chainlink "development fund" part 2
cliff notes for the retarded shills here (all of you): the Chainlink network is so far behind schedule and unsustainable as it currently stands, so CL labs had to tap into the 2nd tranche to keep the network afloat.

>>61220569
>the 350mm meant for node operators at the outset (which was assumed to be going to large institutions to grow the network) has turned into another Chainlink labs treasury fund

So what do you call it when CLL spent the last 5 years paying the nodes out of their treasury fund instead of the node operator fund?

>>61220576
it's all chainlink treasury now as the funds have been comingled. they likely never thought it would take this long and for the network to be this unprofitable and need to be bootstrapped 6+ years in.

>>61220591
>it's all chainlink treasury now
But they've been paying nodes out of there lol.
For six years now.

Zach is Jewish lol

With jews, you lose. Thanks for playing Linkies

>>61220569
It is LITERALLY beyond comprehension how a person can engage in such blatant rhetorical sophistry and then have the unmitigated audacity to complain about it and accuse me of doing the very thing you are in the middle of doing. This entire post is a perfect example of your broken, copypasta-tier brain because you are still stuck on a PROFOUNDLY stupid analogy you invented and are now pathetically trying to walk it back and reframe it when it was so utterly blown out a toddler could have seen it coming. Your continued reliance on the intellectually dishonest "fax machine" comparison proves you have zero clue of 101-level basics and refuse to engage with the actual arguments about fiduciary trust and regulatory frameworks because it would require you to admit you are wrong and that your entire thesis is built on a house of cards. You and your pathetic ilk act as if GPI and the other improvements are "too little, too late," but that is just a symptom of your delusion, as your own narrative requires you to believe that a highly-profitable, established, and regulated network would choose to go extinct rather than adapt, a belief that is so detached from reality it would be hilarious if it weren't so sad. The fact that you think your pathetic and baseless accusations of "term mirroring" and me being an AI help you is the ultimate display of Alinsky Projection, and you are just so pathetically aware of how little substance your talking points have that you have to resort to attacking the very medium of this exchange. You and your pathetic arguments are so completely blown out that you are now just a desperate flailing corpse of a thesis, and the only logical conclusion is that you are either a complete sociopath or a paid poster whose instructions have been reduced to nothing more than a few keywords and a handful of disproven analogies. Lol

>>61220569
The only logical conclusion is that you are either a complete sociopath with a total inability to self-reflect or a paid poster whose instructions have been reduced to mere sophistry, because nobody with a functioning brain could possibly believe that Ripple's entire business is a single product or that XRP, a highly volatile speculative asset, is "by far the most established crypto for payment rails" when it's just one piece of a much larger, and frankly more nuanced, ecosystem. The entire thing is truly hilarious, a masterclass in deluding oneself. You're trying to argue against a position I never even took, claiming I said ILP is centralized, when the actual argument is that Ripple’s implementation of ILP and the business model built around XRP are inherently centralized, a distinction you are willfully unable to grasp, because to admit that would be to admit your entire premise is built on a house of cards. The "SWIFT is a taxi service" analogy is the pinnacle of this intellectual malpractice, a stunning display of a fundamental misunderstanding of global finance and regulatory frameworks. You own yourself with every single keystroke.

>>61220569
Furthermore, your continued attempt to reframe empirical validation as rhetorical posturing reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of what constitutes evidentiary argumentation in matters of institutional finance and digital asset integration. The distinction between persuasive rhetoric and substantiated factual reference rests upon verifiable correlation, not personal sentiment. My previous statement presented a sequence of objectively documented alignments between major financial entities, sovereign initiatives, and technological frameworks that converge upon the utilization of XRP within regulated infrastructures. That is, by definition, evidentiary discourse, not sophistry.

When a NASDAQ-listed company publicly discloses treasury allocations toward a specific digital asset, under the stewardship of executives directly tied to a joint enterprise between Ripple and a banking conglomerate representing the majority of Japan’s financial capital, the implication is systemic—not rhetorical. Similarly, when the Crown Prince of Dubai presides over a jurisdiction that not only licenses but institutionalizes XRP and Ripple within its governmental and real estate frameworks, that reflects geopolitical and economic endorsement, not speculative narrative.

Your dismissal appears rooted less in factual contention and more in ideological loyalty to an opposing digital asset ecosystem. That position is not analysis; it is allegiance. The essence of intellectual honesty demands engagement with the material evidence rather than deflection through insinuation of bias. To recognize XRP’s adoption across multiple sovereign and corporate tiers is not advocacy—it is acknowledgment. The record remains clear, documented, and expanding, irrespective of one’s predispositions. The argument, therefore, stands on demonstrable reality, not rhetorical artifice.

>>61220432
>This faggot is pretending it's all "dumped" instead of going to the nodes.

same end result... more link added to circulating supply
the node owners don't believe in it's value so they immediately sell off

where's the dashboard where we can see the accounting for the 350m and 300m funds

samefag AI brainlet on biz board? biztards are busy stroking their mancunts than say something sensible here.
retards bullish on link and xrp, who cares
get some rewards from houdiniswap pointless program for trade it at the very least kek

>>61220132
Tokens given to nodes or companies for them to stake to on-board them. Not a dump. Just tokens going from being locked to being staked.

>>61220432
this retard is pretending it's NOT dumped despite being sent straight to Binance instead of automatic distribution via smart contracts to each node operator
link negroids are literally trying to defend market selling on the biggest and most scummy exchange in the world
>b-b-but they have to obfuscate the transactions!
there's NO reason for them to use Binance for this
whoever believes those txs straight to Binance hot wallets are NOT for spot selling, is genuinely retarded

>>61221601
>same end result... more link added to circulating supply
Which is exactly what Chainlink said they would do in 2017: add 650 million link to the circulating supply.
And here you are eight years later, bitching and moaning about it every single day like your life depends on it.

>>61225806
>despite being sent straight to Binance
Yes, all the tokens go to Binance.
And yet somehow they still end up going to the node operators after that.

How could that be, anon? You should be able to solve this.

>>61226374
>And here you are eight years later, bitching and moaning about it every single day like your life depends on it.


not really bro
i simply pointed out how it increases circulating supply therefore killing upwards pressure on the coin

they are beyond sick how they try to gaslight investors that that's not the case

>>61225806
good points

it's clear they want to muddy the trail by sending to binance first
they should just admit this instead of treating investors like idiots

Sergey told us before the ICO that he would increase the circulating supply.
Do you know how long ago this was?

>it's clear they want to muddy the trail by sending to binance first
People have been explaining this since the very first dump in 2019.
It's insane how it takes you so many years to understand the simplest shit.

yeah, except this retarded head canon doesn't make an ounce of sense, there are plenty of tools to obfuscate tx trails, NONE of them require fucking Binance of all things

no, they're literally dumping
