If chainlink is so important to smart contracts, and is the solution to the huge bottle neck which everything depends on, why is it so obscure?
Unless only big investors were meant to get this (100 eth minimum ICO) even then some information would trickle down surely?
If its such a game changer, why is it unknown outside of this tiny echochamber and a tiny reddit community? It makes no sense. There is also little manipulation of this coin in the markets. meaning no real interest or awareness.
How could a bunch of memers have access to such an important project and a bunch of poorfags get so rich from it. If it were so key, reddit would be eating this shit up. people would be at least aware of it, due to the importance of an oracle solution. nobody is talking about link.
So you all think a bunch of poor neets are gonna get rich af. unless it is some FREAK accident that Jow Forums got hold of LINK? but then, WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT IT.

If this had entered during the bear market - people would have taken much more notice of it. Fortunately, the forums were oversaturated with other projects whose fundamentals were easier to understand. You can't expect the majority of people to ubderstand what it will do. It is unironically outside of the overton window due to the nature of people doing primary research on it. This means that it's anti-normie on a social level. Intellectually it is also anti-normie because the rule of DYOR is necessary because it is socially unpalatable. Not only that, but it's slightly outside of the range of what a 100IQ person would be able to understabd on a first or even third read-through.
Jaxson Nguyen
Personal incredulity is not an argument. If you doubt it, just ignore the new info which comes out constantly which indicates that it is beyond a doubt part of a bigger and more important plan for crypto.
Evan Ward
my only explanation IF this is so important, which im not convinced yet... is:
Jow Forums were never meant to get this coin. the smart contract people made to pool funds and get into the ICO was a unanticipated event. The memes started, but then some psyops level sht began to try convince people its useless, because as said, Jow Forums NEETS were never meant to get this coin. now it's in a fucking weird as fuck place, with the CIA level psyops mems and fud/shilling intentionally making it as hard as possible to decipher this project, and deter people.
What do they have? Nothing. A fucking testnet, this doesn't tackle the challenge they're facing. Vomit a suicide stack on it in case they pull it off and move on, there's no real reason to believe they're closer to finishing than before they started.
No marketing and they already said they'll begin marketing once mainnet launches. They're focusing on the tech right now.
Julian Martin
Thanks, just bought 100k LINK.
Samuel Bennett
We were never meant to be part of this. They made min contribution ridicilous for a reason. They don't actively seek for exchanges for a reason. They are quiet for a reason.
Robert Nelson
but i don't get why Jow Forums is the only place anyone cares about it or even heard of it. surely someone out there would be shilling this outside of here, a stray ico investor or such. there is a cult following on here, why hasn't that spread elsewhere and made people aware? its so self contained it makes no sense. had a good theory, but even still, its been 6 months since those events.
i think the trump phenomenon is just cognitive dissonance. people on POL were absorbed i their bubble, not seeing the outside influences also on their side.
Alexander Barnes
>Why is it unknown Because it's a meme. Link solves absolutely nothing.
You can see the influences from Link that are also on our side user
Juan Taylor
This. A person needs near-expert-tier understanding of financial services and blockchain in order to understand what the ChainLink product is trying to do. Normies aren't smart enough, don't care, just want internet magic monies to buy porn
Gavin Bell
>being this retarded
Bernie can still win, bro.
Zachary Hill
Chainlink has been posted on reddit a lot but people don’t seem to care or the mods delete the thread straight away. People on other forums are incredibly stupid and just follow the crowd buying hyped up coins. Because there’s no censorship on Jow Forums there’s more room for genuine discussion.
Sebastian Sanders
You guys are dumb its your Jow Forums FUD that turned big money off calling it a scam and2 man development team you guys are idiots thinking it's funny but it's the reason no one cares about it dumb fucks
Ethan Edwards
It's anti-normie. The people that do their research aren't going to talk about it publicly because when their associates see the memes before they understand the fundamentals it looks very weird.
Josiah Johnson
what FUD? its shilled endlessly
Ryan Wilson
Yeah. Normies only follow confirmed announcements on twitter to learn about their shitcoins. The truth about LINK so far comes from a constellation of hard to find clues that only true autists could possibly hope to appreciate
Ian Clark
people on here love to say "ETH WAS MEMED TO DEATH AT THE START" but thats such bullshit.
i dint psot much here back then, but i know for a fact that the ETH foundation gave developer blogs all the damn time about crypto issues, they talked about their roadmaps and late 2016/early 2017 they started advertising quite a lot on websites like facebook.
Noah Thomas
This is why I don't talk about ChainLink. Think I want some faggot asking me about coming here and thinking I'm some kind of pervert? Oh that's what you do online, huh? Fuck that they can stay poor.
Thomas Long
Dumb Jow Forums bitches ruin any thread on reddit which big money follows they dont come here with you weird perverts posting stupid shit linkies stay super stinky 1000 eoy you guys are dumb as fuck
Hunter Hill
There has been reddit posts with 100 upvotes removed cause you Jow Forums bitches want to post stupid shit and start upvoting and downvoting together you guys have some type of gay infatuation with acting retarded and spreading FUD, Chainlink doesnt have a reputation of being shilled but of being retarded cause you Jow Forums perverts
Ethan Nelson
>yah so I looked into that ChainLink thing and I ended up on that site you like. they were talking about bull cum and there was a lady with a milk crate full of purple dildos. is that where you learned about ChainLink?

Link will fail so hard it will be hilarious as fuck.
A lot of the seemingly autistic shilling is fud, intended to reduce the project's credibility for those who dont dyor
Daniel Cook
i find that a poor excuse as to why nobody is talking about it. If link is as vital as people say that perception would overpower any Jow Forums stigma it has. It's like saying Ethereum is bad because people talk about it on here a lot to, so why its stigmatized. not the case. Genuine discussion would crop up elsewhere a lot too, not just here. sure people would be directed here, but also plenty of other places is LINK was so important.
Now i wont discredit the possibility. definitely not. but its a little strange. its entirely possible that LINK was drowned into obscurity in a perfect storm of events, but extremely bizarre odds for that to happen.
maybe the fact that most "investors" in blockchain are brainlets, and the oracle issue is downplayed a lot anyway doesnt help. but i suppose even when you google "block chain oracles" chainlink doesn't appear anywhere. wtf. I cannot wrap my head around this without accepting as entirely true, and the odds of it feel relatively impossible.
just bought 1 btc of link. i hope this is the gem that makes me a billionaire
Gavin Watson
Ethereum was developed by the will of pure high IQ autism, success was written in stone from the get go. Link on the other hand LMAO
Blake Powell
What's the distribution of wallets like anyway? How many big stacks, institutional level, are there? How many of them have dumped? According to cmc, the volumes at about 110,000 link. And most of the volume months ago was bot trading. Why would any serious holder talk about this project now? Even ico holders waiting to dump would just wait till mainnet to hype this up. I mean mainnet is probably a max of one year away. What incentive is there for any holder to talk about this?
Also, no one talks about the Oracle problem at all. It's just brushed over with statements like "everyone will just build their own". Vitalik said it's not even worth 32m. But anyone into link knows how hard it is. How not doing it right almost forfeits any advantage of using blockchain in the first place. It's like this dirty secret, and acknowledging it is like acknowledging only private chains can be useful. But then why even use blockchain? Ignoring the Oracle problem is like admitting every thing but bitcoin is worthless. But when asked about about the Oracle problem Vitalik talks about Oraclize, augur and other shit projects. No influential figures talk about link. I feel like all linkies have to be either visionaries or retarded.
inb4 "Vitalik is just some BTC magazine college dropout" fud from back then.
Elijah Martin
Because Jow Forums is the place where real research happens, like me for example. I read about smart contracts for over a year now and have a good idea how it works, the average normie has no time for this, they rather go drink, chase holes or simply follow the herd.
>(You) will be wrong so hard it will be hilarious as fuck.
Eli King
LINK is still in the "Trump won't make it past Iowa" stage
Nathaniel Miller
you just summed up my exact thoughts on all of blockchain. BTC and XMR and maybe XRP being the only ones worth investing in unless the oracle bottle neck is solved.
it literally seems like a dirty little secret. maybe thats why link is so obscure? to acknowledge link is to say this dirty little secret nuls all their efforts. but then again, many shitcoins openly state their goal is to provide the platform not the dapps. in ETHERs mission statements it says this.
maybe, just maybe, thats why you have to actually have rather intimate understanding of blockchain to even realise link, and that is a minority of people even among the memers.
Jaxon Parker
but it could be so legit that the powers that be are keeping quiet about it. all this is very machiavellian, after all, anyone in the know gives away scraps, giving you the impression they are all knowing, hiding the source of gold, if that makes sense.
youre absolutely right. visionaries in the beautiful early stage (like how eth was shilled on biz) or absolute fucking deluded retards. Only time will tell.
personally speaking. Im all in. win big or be a whimpering wagie forever
Logan Mitchell
Maybe it is like assblaster said, and in 5 years this will be the most ridiculous thing to come out of Jow Forums ever. But, no talk from any one of substance? At all? I don't know what to believe. What's more likely, almlst perfect opsec from investors or we all invested in a shitcoin? I actually can't tell. If this is really that important, it's not hard to imagine a ton of NDAs, agreements and self interest at work. Either way I'm all in too. I'm willing to bet, for a chance at freedom. For me, it probably won't dump past my initial, so that's something at least.
It's like a chain of events: >Jow Forums shill BTC very early, people accuse it of being funny money scam botnets. BTC shills hail as retards. nobody can really understand blockchain at all in 2011. Merkle trees? decentralized? >BTC takes off. proof of concept. Jow Forums shills ethereum the next step in blockchain uses, the imagination of smart contracts. the endless possibility of digital contracts. Hail as retards. nobody sees the need of a smart contract or even understands it. "we already have BTC". >Eth moons. the next logical progression, the gargantuan bottle neck to BTCs proof of concept, and Ethereums imagination. ChainLink.
By now people have only just caught up with smart contracts, like before with BTC. they barely understand them still, while only just getting to grasp with blockchain itself in basic iteration like BTC. the oracle iss is so far ahead of their understanding, just like smart contracts when eth was shilled.
Of course. Do you expect them to say their project's futures is entirely based on an oracle network that doesn't exist yet? Why would you invest in their shitcoin when its future is dependent on the success of a project no one acknowledges?
Nolan Moore
Maybe because it is a project in development in a comparatively obscure market. You think a lot of people knew to throw money at something like Intel when computers were coming out? You can’t compare LINK to Ethereum because when ETH was being developed, anyone interested in crypto was a genuine enthusiast and the space was very different from today.
Many true blockchain enthusiasts and OG investors are fucking rock solid erect about Link. Most people on Jow Forums got into crypto within the last year and aren’t very smart.
Go to any conference and talk to people and see what they think about ChainLink.
A lot of people don’t understand Bitcoin. Most people don’t understand Ethereum...why the fuck would you expect ChainLink to be discussed en masse?
Liam Martinez
This is literally what i believe happened.

Christian Howard
no senpai. i am on my own journey. I've been here a while but i only realised about oracles two weeks ago. im super intrigued by link now, naturally. i've maintained skepticism still now, but im coming to realise its *potential*.
I also know how stupid the average investor is in terms of understanding the technology. it all feeds into itself.
Ian Wright
Because we autistically discuss things in a debate style thats more like gladiatorial combat than civil discussion. Say something dumb? Get called a nigger Poorly reasoned argument? Get called a shill Fail to back up claims with sources? Get called a faggot.
The nature of this place is such that ideas thrive on their merits, not the mouthpieces that project them. LINK is a great idea, and thus is stands the test.
Ethan Hill
>Jow Forums shill BTC you have know fucking clue how pissed i am. I couldn't fucking figure out how to synch my fucking wallet.i later realized i had a shit computer. Im talking these fucking things were pennies.
Henry Barnes
Plebbit etc didn't really talk about ETH also. They started after if proved itself.
Evan Ortiz
it reached a point where Jow Forums banned BTC threads because all the retards.
Nolan Clark
agreed. it very much feels like history repeating, but it begs the question are more people clued in (making it overhyped) or is human behaviour still the same and ignorant (keeping the gem hidden in plain sight)
human psychology and how much of a risk you willing to take are the 2 important factors here
btc / eth early investors right now are living EZ , that could be us...
Nathaniel Ward
i remember when this shit was being shilled on/b/. Im even more pissed that i forgot about it and missed out on eth. Lighting rarely strikes the same place twice or even three times. Im all in on link just so i can have a piece of mind. So i don't hang myself just in case i missed the boat a third and final time
Caleb Reed
Top kek. What's worse? Implying college degrees mean anything or contradicting yourself by saying it's an imaginary problem then following it up with saying there's a lot of competition for said problem. You sound like a buttcoiner calling bitcoin "imaginary" simply because it exists digitally. This is what peak retardation looks like.
i can confidently say normies don't understand bitcoin AT ALL. Their analysis is quite literally "online money".
i work at a research company for banks, and when UK banks banned bitcoin, 80% of normies were happy and supported the ban, but reading between the lines it came from a place of fear and ignorance, they truly feared this strange technology they could not comprehend.
Gabriel Kelly
You do realize the couple of main chans have a insanely high IQ average. Lots of user's have been confirmed to be part of gifted programs when they children. It has been confirmed that the US, European and other military intelligence agencies actively monitor these places. MIT and other top tier research facilities also keep an eye on us.
Jow Forums once made false information so believable that the US FUCKING GOVERNMENT used it as proof in a dossier about Russia.
Jow Forums and ha te chan are literally unpaid think tanks comparable to the largest highest paid think tanks in the world. You don't understand it because you are just a remora fish accidentally swimming with the big boys.
No shut your mouth and lurk more you unbelievable faggot.
oh, i never have. This place has taken the best years from me. Hopefully, it will pay off

Robert Turner
I get you senpai. good post. in other words your stinky.
Link is solid, it's a better bet than most coins in its fundamental arguments. it's well vetted.
It's just a matter of time now. It seems nobody is arguing WHEN LINK will moon, just that it has the recipe.
Luke Johnson
Most people barely know what SWIFT is, even though SWIFT is so instrumental to what banks do. Kind of the same deal.
Plus Chainlink's development is being kept extremely low-key. And the crypto space doesn't care about any token or coin that doesn't have a Chink scammer doing the marketing. They will though.
Jaxon Gonzalez
"Members of high IQ societies, especially those that require D15IQs above 145, often comment that around this IQ, qualitatively different thinking emerges. By this they mean that the 145+ D15IQ person doesn't just do the same things, intellectually, as a lower IQ person, just faster and more accurately, but actually engages in fundamentally different intellectual processes. David Wechsler, D. K. Simonton, et alia, have observed the same thing."
>cognitive dissonance this. there were no virgina coat miners on /pol. neither do people who celebrate hitler have any commonality with people to voted for trump. te small obnoxious tumor in poo swelled because the humourless low iq horde from stormfront landed after it was shut down they had been around purely because free speech is available for airing their garbage.

>The oracle problem can't be solved, I would say it's more of a matter of 2+2 ever equaling 5, it's just not going to happen - jimmy song
that was from the podcast in pic related. Tell me, we all know jimmy isn't retarded and been in the space a long time. He knows the oracle problem Exists but claims there's absolutely no solution. Why?
I'm starting to think smart contracts are a meme. Like jimmy said if you tokenize a title for a house how are you going to keep the token and the house tied together. Someone can still steal the private seed and now what? Is this why we all will be getting microchips implanted into our wrists because that's the only way I see all this working.
why is jimmy so smart but so fucking retarded? if he knows the oracle problem exists why would he not do some fucking research and see if this problem is being worked on? why wouldnt he come across Ari Js work on secure hardware like TC and SGX. what the fuck is going on here and why is he acting like smart contracts will never be able to mimic real world financial agreements. we all know he is not a complete retard sub room temp iq so what the fuck is happening does he have some hidden ulterior motive?
ChainLink is wierd af you have people who have been in the space a very long time acting like they have no clue a project is working on this solution and then you have prominent people like Charles Schwab who includes smartcontract.com in his book the 4th industrial revolution and aantonop who included ChainLink in his book mastering Ethereum yet people still don't see to take notice. I don't get it.

Unironically seems like the best explanation. No one can be stupid enough to do thier research and FUD link. Along with this came the memers and shitheads who FUD for fun. wouldnt be suprised if it was all memers and shitheads. I just can't imagine someone being stupid enough to FUD link unironically,
gonna laugh at all these naysayers that kill themselves when Link finally moons

Parker Morris
people fail to realise that these issues like tokenizing a house do not ahve to be solved right now
so what? the oracle solution with Chainlink can still allow for lots of financial functions, even if tokenizing physical items and complex physical items like a house is hard. It's like when they created the first mobile phone with a camera. everyone said "why?" nobody saw the use for combining these two.
years later, we now benefit. If my wife left her passport at an airport, and i go to retrieve it, but then security tells me "no, its sensitive item, she needs to be here" i can just do a facetime video call and they can verify. simple as fuck. nobody could see this in the past because internet on phones was not even in their consciousness at the time.
