>Data Streams free tier winding down>Free tiers for Data Streams are winding down, with access terminating on September 1st, 2026.>During this transition, rate limits may become stricter to avoid system congestion. We are encouraging the heavy users of the service to switch to a paid >subscription as soon as possible to avoid disruption. Visit the Self Service centre to get started.You were told "pay in any currency you like and payment abstraction will automatically convert it to link".But then they made it just a Stripe subscription that just pays USD straight into Chainlink Labs bank account, completely bypassing any "payment abstraction".>BUT THEY'LL BUY LINK FOR THE RESERVE WITH THAT MONEYNo they won't - they're currently unlocking around 18 MILLION tokens per quarter. of that 18 million they sell around 15 million and put 3 million into their "reserve"They don't actually "buy back" the tokens that go into the reserveThey promised 'staking' which turned out to be limited to 45 million tokens.Then implied "we'll release staking v1 so everyone can stake" then completely backtracked on it.They promised "everyone will pay for data feeds in link, or any payment will be converted to link"Then it turned to be "actually we only accept Visa or Mastercard via Stripe"They promised "we are going to buy back LINK for a strategic reserve"Then it turned out that they were buying them from themselves at a zero cost

token not sneed?
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!
>>62439178kek fuddie
Reasons to but some link today:>you can stake and earn interestno YOU cannot. pools closed>link is used to pay for Chainlink services, which creates demand and increases the priceNo - VISA, Mastercard and Amex are used to pay for Chainlink services>The Chainlink Reserve removes supply and makes it more valuableChainlink buy the link from themselves at $0 - the entire point of the reserve is for them to sell it later so its basically just "80% sold now, 20% to sell later". How is that remotely bullishWhere's the bull case?Is everybody really just sitting around hoping for the Greater Fool Theory to play out?
>>62439231That's a very cute gpt prompt OP, but umm I think I'll just not sell LOL
>>62439254How is it even remotely ChatGPT and which part was incorrect info?
gimme a Pgimme a Cwhat's that spell?PC r hi ac re t
>>62439178Didn't like how the other thread was going fuddie?>Link are going to stop subsidising services and charge all users>This is bad somehow >They won't use PAL>No I can't prove that!? Just believe me!
>>62439367Go through the payment portal. It literally asks you to set up a stripe payment subscription and only accepts card payment abstraction has nothing to do with it. Stripe pay straight into the company account and settle daily.If they want to buy link with the money, sure they can, but payment abstraction isn't needed (and doesn't work with Stripe). they can just spot buy on Binance, the same way they spot sell 18 million like every quarter.But they won't buy link with that money
chainlink sucks balls
>>62439367>They won't use PAL>No I can't prove that!? Just believe meWhat are you talking about? They never even said they would do that with with the Chainlink fees paid through stripe - only when it's paid through crypto which 99% of organisations will not.You've just made up a completely bullshit claim by misunderstanding what PAL is for. I said what's actually happening. Now you want me to prove why what you've completely made up isn't true?
>>62439367This. Good job chainlink labs, you finally built a proper software as a service which charges customer a flat fee based in USD. They're going to look back on their weird crypto days like millennials view their emo phase and the token holders like that one scene chick who was sort of hot in high school but now is a fat hog that lives in a double wide trailer with her felon boyfriend 20 years older than her and their 2 disgusting kids.
