You’re hearing it here first,expect a major Chainlink announcement during Mardi Gras next month. You know how the team has 290 million tokens left to unlock? Well 250 million of those LINK are going straight to the Treasury for America’s 250th anniversary “strategic reserve” play. Don’t give a fuck if you believe me, take care marines, WAGMI
>>61624679Even if you're telling the truth, it won't affect the price.
kek fuddie
>>61624679>decentralized oracle network>gives 25% of its token to a governmentYeah nah. Never understood why it was apparently a forgone conclusion that Sergey was gonna give 30% of the supply to institutions for free either. All 1 billion tokens WILL be dumped onto the market and if institutions want link tokens well then they're gonna have to buy them off the market just the same as anyone else who wants to be a part of the network. Its only fair that way.
>>61624679Why are they doing it at Mardi Gras.
>>61624714>All 1 billion tokens WILL be dumped onto the market and if institutions want link tokens well then they're gonna have to buy them off the market just the same as anyone else who wants to be a part of the network. Its only fair that way.It has always been funny to see people screech about LINK being a pre mine (especially back in the early days), only to then turn around and screech about CLL distributing the tokens on the open market. What else are they supposed to do lmfao
>>61624679Soon your coping won't save you. The inevitable collapse of Chainlink to sub $1 will bury you alive. LINK is no longer needed, it's obsolete and the world has left it behind. Widespread adoption of AI, as well as prediction markets such as Polymarket and others, have replaced the need for oracles. Gasless cryptographic perpetual futures contracts have replaced the need for old-school gas tokens like Link.It's basically game over and many of your fellow marines have either already cashed out or they have roped. The longer you hold onto your bag, the greater your chance of your soul being devoured by the Chainlink egregore. Maybe your soul is already lost to it, and there's no escape from the eternal torment you will now experience of forever being a baggie.
Dump imminent, its been since oct 10th since they had that big fat stinky ciruclating supply increase. OP is creating hype for more suckers to buy.
>>61624808>Chainlink hits $1>1 oz silver buys 80 (maybe even 100+ at that point) linkies>anon acts like this is a bad thing That rotation would be one of the biggest plays of the decade. Don't threaten me with a good time, demon.
>>61624849kek baggie
>>61624857I'm fondling heavy bags of silver right now. How does that make you feel?
>>61624849Did you ignore everything else I mentioned. It's not needed anymore. There are better things that replace it. It's a dead token shuffling towards the end.Seriously, look into gasless perps for example. ETH is effectively dead as well and will gradually decline.
>>61624879I ignored it because it's all meaningless buzzwords anon. Sorry, thought you realized.
>>61624679yeah this is a larp I can never believeso it might be even true, what would this imply
>>61624894It's buzz words to you because you've failed to keep up with the latest advancements in crypto over the past year or so.
>>61624941shut up retard
>>61624941No, they are buzz words because you use them to generate buzz without knowing what the implications are in relation to Chainlink. Thus, buzzwords. That doesn't mean gasless perps aren't a great and much needed innovation, mind you. >AIAgentic AI executing on blockchains still require infrastructure to operate, of which Chainlink is an important part. >Rise of prediction marketsI'm not sure how that is a negative for Chainlink. I think it mostly highlights a problem that is inherent to all oracle solutions: you need strict definitions and automated execution, or bad actors will game the system and refuse to pay out bets that were slightly ambiguous (Zelensky's suit, Trump attacking Venezuela). Optimizing contracts like that and punishing bad actors is exactly what Chainlink was conceived to do. If anything, the prediction market shenanigans show tradfi that you need a solution like Chainlink if you're serious about adopting smart contracts and blockchain technology. >Gasless perpsThings like gasless perps are a boon to Chainlink because it drives adoption and ensures DeFi matures as a financial ecosystem. An ecosystem which is mostly underpinned by Chainlink. And yes, this means gas will be cheaper. Money moving away from L1s is something CLL foresaw years ago though. Remember when Chainlink was spending millions and millions to subsidize nodes during high gas prices? L1s finally scaling and dapps becoming more efficient is something CLL have been waiting on for years now. In conclusion, I fail to see how web 3 maturing is bad for Chainlink, but let's hear your bear case here. I'm curious.
>>61624935this is the best larp since assblasterI believe it 100%makes sensefits the timeline
>>61624679>Larp>TruthEither way, price will dump.
>>61624714>t and if institutions want link tokens well then they're gonna have to buy them off the marketanybody want to tell him? >>61624799>What else are they supposed to do lmfaohow about setting the release schedule over 30 years instead of 5 so you aren't diluting your investors 15% every year? do you want me to tell you why they aren't doing that?
>>61624679Posting in historic thread just bec i can. T.palatineoffacts
>>61626397The earlier all tokens are in circulation the better. Disagree all you want, it is what it is.

>>61624679wow the seethe is unreal, thanks OP
Another shillcuck larp thread
>>61626450>The earlier all tokens are in circulation the better.what happens when they run out and the company isn't profitable
>>61626912Kek this.The fuddie duddie buy signal is absolutely delicious
>>61626933but the company itself is massively profitableall those offchain deals they make and have been used by you lot to fud with ad nauseamyou probably mean, what happens if the nodes arent profitable yet, well then they just have to raise prices to a level of profitability now do they
>>61626933It has always been Schrödingers profitability with you guys like >>61627046says. CLL are siphoning millions from bagholders with off-chain deals, but at the same time they are also not making any profit at all and will cease to exist when they run out of tokens. Regardless of what you believe, token dumps ideally should only be needed to slingshot the protocol into self sufficiency after which CLL becomes just another company operating on the protocol. I won't pretend to know whether this will happen or not, but profitability by 2030 (for CLL the company) seems doable. I think fuddies here vastly overestimate the costs of running a software company, even as bloated as CLL. >no raw materials to procure >no vehicles to buy/maintain>no factories to run>no offices to rent >Inb4 "muh HR roasties!" Sergey could hire 500 additional HR roasties and still not run out of money anytime soon.
Kind of get the feeling CLARITY act isn't going to pass right away and it'll tank the markets
>>61627046>but the company itself is massively profitablei don't know man. i estimate annual operating expenses over $100m easily. you really think they're running a profit when they bragged about an all time revenue of "hundreds of millions" over 8 yearslets say that # was 300m which is generous, all made over the last 4 years for annual revenue of 80m or so. they're running a net loss...>you probably mean, what happens if the nodes arent profitable yet,no i mean the company your donations fund, chainlink labs. you know, the one with 800 employees...what are your numbers?
>>61627573>I think fuddies here vastly overestimate the costs of running a software company, even as bloated as CLL.ehh i don't think i'm overestimated those costs at all and i'm happy to be proven wrong by anyone. here's an estimate of costs alone: for payroll: 800 employees @ average $120k per = $96m in annual costs this means an average salary in the 90k's per employee, and then you add in employer payroll taxes, insurance, 401k, hr compliance, etc. other: from there i'd throw in another 10-20m of annual operating expenses for legal, accounting, it and software, networking events/travel, marketing, etc. so realistically you're looking at at least 110m of operating costs, but probably higher especially for the politician and kol bribes cough cough "advertising" what your numbers
>>61624689It will probably go down actually. Jesus Christ himself could endorse Chainlink and the international jew would just use Saturn Fiat magic to make it go down:
>>61627573>Sergey could hire 500 additional HR roasties and still not run out of money anytime soon.you are probably right about that, as to date the foundation has raised at least $5b in donations the question however, is how much do they have left? markets are forward looking so if it came out they only had a few years runway they're in trouble
Let the peeling begin
fuckin hate stinkies
>>61627715>so realistically you're looking at at least 110m of operating costs, but probably higher especially for the politician and kol bribes cough cough "advertising"Sounds plausible, let's call it $150m a year as an upper bound. >>61627737>as to date the foundation has raised at least $5b in donationsIf we take our ludicrous $150m/year burn rate and apply it over a 9 year horizon (disregarding the fact that Chainlink consisted of 2 people in 2017), CLL would have burned through $1.35b. Round that up to $1.5b, add some acquisitions, bribes, bonuses and what have you for another $1.5b. Now we are at $3b, out of the $5b they raised which means that even with our gross overestimation, they should still have $2b left. That $2b is good for another 13 years of burning $150m/year, even if they manage to not earn a single dime in the meantime. If they need to bribe Washington some more, they will have access to an additional $3.9b in LINK tokens that will be sold in the coming 4 years. Combine this with the "hundreds of millions" of revenue they claim to have made over the past years, and I think they're sitting pretty.
>>61624679POV: you hold linkcheckem
>>61628948that's not a POV dummy
>>61624857
>>61624808>>61624879>>61624941Why are there always mentally ill faggots willing to obsessively write rambling little fud essays about an allegedly unimportant shitcoin all day every day? Stuff like this is exactly why I buy more every month.
>>61630328No you do not Jason. You don't have any money to buy more so stfu and take your daily cucking.
>>61630347I do buy link every month though? Why do you feel a need to cope seethe and dilate? Kekw
>>61630426I'm certain sirgay appreciates your month 50 dollar investment
>>61631565I appreciate it because I'm up a lot lol.So why do you guys just sit here all the time? You can make a gorillion esl posts screeching blue cube bad and it doesn't seem to go change anything
>>61630328yikes
Chainlink has a really nice website
>>61631589you must be a millionaire with all those fat gains that link has given you bahagahaha
>>61631589>I'm up a lot lolI doubt it
>>61624763>hey anon! Pretty wild party huh? Did you try the punch? It’s great.>btw have you heard about oracles?
>>61631640>>61631645Kekw look how assmad they're getting at me just for saying I still buy linkDon't worry guys I'm sure your 'job' is very important and you have a lot to show for it
Just poppin' my head in this thread to say LMAO MY LINKIES STAY SUPER STINKY 1K EOYWow thanks Sergey for my free chainlink® official staking™ tokens that I get for securing the ETH price feed. Oh BTW hope you boys went heavy in on dolomite hahahahha feels fucking GOOD to be a chainlink® Chad
I’m going to buy more Link this thursday and the 40 IQ fudniggers can seethe.
>>61624679God can you imagine? This plus the whales allegedly lining up for a crazy March poomp. Our real lives could unironically begin.But no, my journey under Link has been fraught with too much disaster. I no longer believe in hopium with this coin.
>>61632115the inevitability of it all...
>>61631932I went 50/50 on folks and SXTAtleast i didnt go 100% on folks
>>61631675Kek
> now even link hopium assumes massive dumps
>>61632767You know, fudders would be alot more effective if their information was grounded in reality. We’ve known from the beginning about quarterly unlocks.
>>61626397But Sergey wanted to get rich quick and not when he's 60 years
>>61628920>Combine this with the "hundreds of millions" of revenue they claim to have made over the past years, and I think they're sitting pretty.interesting, so they have many many years of runway left. really makes you wonder where the fuck it all goes and what they are currently doing with the capital raised.
>>61624679Everyone who matters in the new space is using Redstone.
>>61631675who could this man be?
but Cassandra said he is shorting oracle
Does all this blaaaa ITT mean LINK price goes up? Do I buy?
>chud token
