I'm bored as fuck waiting for this gem to moon (January $1+ buyer here). Let's speculate as to when mainnet will be released, when the next bull run will happen, and when link will moon.
I think: >mainnet by September >LINK goes up a little but doesn't make any big moves until Q1-Q3 2019 >we hit $100-200 by EOY 2020
what does your speculated timeline look like, lads?
I just bought link today since it hit $0.19. Got me 1200 linkies for suicide insurance. Don't really care if this moons or not, I have other positions

I think people need to stop fixating on main net and instead look forward to the point where node operators are actually called publicly to bugtest the network. That needs to happen before main net and will be a flurry of activity as the full code is actually tested and the aggregation and consensus mechanisms are shown to work. There is a huge amount that needs to be done between now and main net, but fortunately a lot of it will be completely visible. My prediction for main net would be early next year, at this stage. t. 150k LINK since ED
Ian Sanders
I basically agree. Although there was this larper I agree with. Medium sized companies come out around 2019, followed by swift in late 2020. Then bigger companies will have been able to retool and start using the network.
Ryan Lewis
Don't they have private repos? I'm guessing that's where the aggregation and consensus code is.
Matthew Parker
I think your timing is right but priced too high, $25 to $50 is more realistic as a goal next couple of years, if adoption really takes off it could go higher. I still think SWIFT is they key to success of Link.
Charles Reed
Even if that stuff is all getting done in private, there's no getting around the fact that one very time consuming process, which is node operators using a fully tooled, aggregating test network, has to happen in public view. Simply because the public is able to run nodes. I can't imagine that process taking less than a couple of months.
Aaron Bell
Agreed. But biz will probably panic sell when mainnet doesn’t go live in 2018.
Sebastian Torres
1k eoy. Those kind of gains aren't for the weak handed.
I'm sure there are a ton of things going on behind the scenes that we don't know about beyond the private repos
nah, LINK can still do great without SWIFT.
Nathaniel Edwards
Link bottom $0.12 Stays between $0.12 and $0.5 until mid 2020. Link goes up until end of 2021, then drops 80%.
Evan Davis
Yeah, that sounds right. Looks like we're in for a long wait even after the aggregation code drops. At this rate it looks like if it's releasing Q3 as rumored, it'll be at the very end.
But I don't think it'll be massively successful without swift. Thats the key. Connecting legacy infrastructure to new shit is one the links biggest selling points. No big change in operations, except having massive cost savings.
Isaac Turner
Is this a subtle fud thread or is everyone conservative? Do you not consider the fomo from normies finally getting link and it spreading all of the doors Jow Forums has connected? Especially if good is announced as director of marketing, swift announcement, mainnet all on top of another crypto bull run!? Have I finally list it to think that $1000 could be possible in a speculative buying frenzy? Of course, the stars would have to align for that bullshit to happen but you never know
Cooper Green
Dots not doors, sorry
Lincoln Russell
Goddamn auto correct, gosner not good, going to computer now
Jose Martinez
delete your posts and start over.
Xavier Ross
Yea I was wondering the same thing. I appreciate the realism but at the same time I think some of these estimates are a bit too conservative.
Jeremiah Harris
That is unfortunatly the likely outcome. Crypto prices are still mostly moved by retail investors and they just don't buy Link. Without the demand coming from Jow Forums we would already be at $0.12 or so.
Ayden Nguyen
It's not impossible but it's like you said, the stars have to align. Whoever buys otc from Sergey won't sell, so that's out of circulation. Sergey hopefully won't dump much of his. There will be a proportion of current holders who won't sell because they actually plan to use theirs. So there will be about the same current circulating supply.
There would have to be a massive massive bull run, iron hands among holders decreasing circulating supply, and normies getting shilled hard. That's if the supply doesn't increase. I'm not that conservative, but I don't see 300+ for 4-8 years. It'd have to be a top 5 coin in a huge bull market. But we can dream.
Without the demand coming from biz...okay so there you go folks all of the fud threads are utter bullshit...fud disarmed. Do we have any information to back this claim up though? Is biz really the main buyer of LINK at the moment? No one outside of biz quitely accumulating?
Bentley Davis
It's not unfortunate, we can accumulate. Yeah it may take 4 years or it may never moon. Whatever. Moonboys that call you brainlet when someone says that it isn't going to 1000 eoy are annoying as fuck.
But it doesn't mean we'll never get to $1,000...
Jose Jenkins
I'm bullish on link, but get real. $1000 is 5000x from here. You realize Nano from $0.01 to $34 was 'only' 3400x? And it happened over the course of at least 8 months, whereas we have half as much time until EOY. And it was driven by the greatest influx of dumb money into a financial sector in the history of humanity. We'll have another golden bull run but it'll be a slow burner overseen by regulations and driven by cautious institutional actors. $1000 EOY is a pipe dream. $10 EOY MAX, and that's if the stars align. $2-3 is on the optimistic side of realistic. $1 is probably more likely. $0.20 isn't out of the question either if bitcoin ETFs get crushed and we stay bear/sideways for the rest of the year.
Justin Richardson
Dude yes. I have seen YouTube videos that were raided by biz (voting for next coin to cover, cl wins), multiple threads talking about Jow Forums obsession with link, how Jow Forums pooled ETH to buy link, etc... Yes it quite literally is just Jow Forums nobody else gives a fuck or talks about the project at all.
Christopher Garcia
I speculate that Chainlink is garbage.
Justin Jackson
yea, it must be garbage because it caught the attention of billion dollar enterprises faggot.
Isaiah Watson
It just seems like we have a small but not insignificant chance of having a perfect storm of events that can actually lead to the 'singularity'. I guess Im bored as well and just bullshitting but I cant help but feel that maybe we lucked out and ended up in one of those realities where weird synchronistic shit like that can happen. Well that price range is what the DMT elves told the two trippers in that older thread...any others tried to access that information on psychedelics?
Grayson Smith
SWIFT obviously had nothing better to do than invite some fat CEO of a startup to present a POC.
Hunter Wood
I've straight up asked my DMT entities on several occasions when LINK will hit $1000 but they've never given me an answer. It makes me wonder if that means it'll never actually hit 1k. I should try again and rephrase my question to what EOY price will be.
Samuel Moore
nigger pot pie andrea antonapolois prattles on and on about chainlink in his upcoming pamphlet titled "dominating ethereum" which conveniently debuts this september
Gavin Martinez
I dont disagree at all that this could be an actual outcome but after all the dots that I have seen biz connect on here I cant take your speculation too seriously. I know nothing is confirmed yet, are we just seeing what we want to believe?
Thomas Wright
I read this and my mind just displays images of people farting and having diarrhe·a...I guess youre just stoned and enjoy bullshitting but sober I dont see how you could get off on shitting up a thread on a genuine blockchain project that could have alot of impact on society. it is what it is
Zachary Lopez
Unsure what you are speaking of, link? no pun intended
sorry man im bored and a couple beers in, just holding LINK and BTC right now and wishing LINK would have taken off by now. i've been in link since september so i obviously know its potential
Anthony Reyes
That comes out in December pajeet
Nolan Clark
Haha I would probably do the same after a few beers as well at this point...I jumped in on the November lows after seeing biz post fat Sergey memes in October and know the suspense. Cheers
