Hey friends! Hope everyone is still holding with iron hands. I didn't go anywhere, just saw no reason to post.
Now we've had a lot of new Link news to get excited about, let's have a thread about the top wallets. We can all be autistic together. Who's noticed anything interesting?
I'm still perplexed by this wallet which seems to belong to the Chainlink team. If you follow the transactions back, you'll see they originally come from the #8 biggest wallet.
If you aren't also buying real money. Gold and silver you aren't going to make it after the currency crisis and deflationary collapse of all asset prices.
Remember when you buy gold. You aren't actually really buying it.... you are becoming your own bank, where the Jews can't confiscate your wealth through inflation
Anthony Clark
good to hear from you! i'm afraid i dont have anything to contribute, but am interested in what you've got to say
Regarding the wallet I linked, your guess is as good as mine. I didn't hear any really convincing ideas yet. If it was testnet stuff wouldn't we be able to see it? I don't think it looks like salaries being paid...
Can someone in the official Slack please ask? Maybe Rory will just tell us.
What's your biggest induction about the top wallet Holders
Julian Johnson
The thread from the other day about Link top wallets and Linkpool really inspired confidence
Majority of top wallets haven't touched it since ICO.
Landon Gonzalez
WB french, WB. Good to see u around. Have you noticed anything else besides wallets that caught your attention? What are your estimates for mainnet release? What did u do in the meantime while not posting on Jow Forums ?
Ayden Hall
Hey man, I don't really focus on the top holders but keep an eye on the top 500.
There has been a recent drop of about 10 people falling out of the top 500 wallets which is indicated by the amount of the 500th wallet decreasing
Christian Cruz
how can i get in touch with you outside of biz?
Michael Clark
yeah people are selling alts to move into btc for the etf approval
Jace Nguyen
welcome back. How does it feel to be the only legitimate link poster on this board?
Chase White
as usual you dumb shit. you're not an autist.
Thomas Hernandez
One of those was me actually I sold a lot on this recent pump
Evan King
>how can i get in touch with you outside of biz?
Luke Jenkins
>Have you noticed anything else besides wallets that caught your attention? Accord project was pretty exciting. Go back and read the original Accord threads if you want to feel like you're losing your mind!
Idk about mainnet and I was just browsing biz but not posting.
Same with the top 100
Why would you want to?
That's not true, I don't know anything more than you
Kek
Alexander Foster
you find the same things we do. Make a proton email?
WE pretty much know all that is happening behind the scenes at this point. Just sit tight and be comfy until mainnet hits and EOY predictions become true.
Isaac Adams
holy shet we might actually really have some insiders in this shitboard
whales and insiders sometimes appear on biz. You can sometimes make a quick profit off agents foretelling a pump. You just need to discern the likelihood of whether they are lying and what is the opportunity cost for following their predictions.
A link whale made a thread on biz when it was pumping after the website drop. It was confirmed by him sending 1 link to an user from a wallet with a shitload. He didn't tell us shit though; "get your ducks in a row by October" was all he said. He has a clear financial incentive to tell us that though (since he owns tons of a shitcoin).
Landon Flores
Right, I brought this up before. I think I recall there are a couple of instances where the exact same amount is transferred but at different times. No one here could com up with a reason. I thought maybe testnet stuff... Can someone ask on Slack?
Whenver anyone says "ctrl+f chainlink, nothing" it's just amazing to see how wrong they were
Yes...
Luis Phillips
link to this bread?
Henry Wright
it was removed by janitors, (probably for begging?) which i didn't expect otherwise I would have taken a screenshot.
here is the 1 link transaction though (guy has 1.9 million link)
I looked into it and it's nothing. It was simply a repost of a screencap showing a microsoft word plugin Accord/Shadab were working on, they are open source and the screencap was probably posted publicly somewhere just to showcase the project. It was reposted by a fudding tripfag, trying to troll by pretending a word add-on would rival link, not pretending to be an insider leaking anything, and most definitely not Shadab.
I didn't pay much attention to that thread originally, but now that we have Accord ChainLink connection confirmed (we do have it confirmed, right? I can't remember - there are so many breadcrumbs it gets hard to tell what's just a crumb and what went from crumb to confirmation), I noticed it.
IEEE working with Accord seems interesting. One of my CS professors in college had a big hard-on for the IEEE. If the standards they're working on are basically compatible with ChainLink, or even better, basically a carbon-copy of ChainLink, that would be amazing.
Daniel Gonzalez
I sold my Link today. The euphoria has faded and now I can see clearly.
Isaiah Morgan
He was wrong about March/SXSW, but both the AL article and AP collab, both predicted to came out at around the same time, came out the same week, just a few months later. I don't think it's a coincidence.
"The partnership, which involves the standards sub-group the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA), is both significant and a major step forward. As readers of Artificial Lawyer will know, Accord and its members, especially smart contract pioneers, Clause, have been working hard on a global basis to create rules and standards for the use of smart contracts."
We have the Clause connection again.
Also, see
"What any system that will be used as part of the global trading infrastructure and our economic fabric will need is a set of standards, rules and protocols that key players buy into and trust.
To do this you need the world’s leading standards organisations onboard and engaged. This is precisely what Clause and the broader Accord Project are seeking to do."
which suggests this is really fucking big. And unrelated to SWIFT. Can you imagine if SWIFT was just the big fucking deal that the ChainLink team has been open about, and there's other huge stuff behind the scenes?
Levi Nguyen
You think it's just a rock. It's not. When you take fiat to a coin store to purchase gold you aren't really buying anything.
You are really only transferring your paper wealth (which the Jew steals through inflation) to real money and becoming your own bank.
Gold is not an investment where you try and get back more worthless fiat. Owning gold makes you your own bank where your savings is 100% protected.
It's not amazing just because "muh insider was right"
But also because this implies Sergey is working with key players in multiple industries with plans fucking MONTHS in advance like some kind of Chess game.
Carson Myers
Also from that article:
"Initially, the collaboration will involve creating a 12-member working team of critical stakeholders that includes supply chain operational executives, blockchain architecture technologists, smart contract developers, legal experts, and industry advocacy groups, in the hopes of ‘ensuring a balanced consensus throughout the standards development process’."
Who are the twelve members, I wonder?
One member is IEEE, one is Accord. Perhaps one is Clause?
Blockchain architecture technologists... Random blockchain devs or maybe the Microsoft guys?
The most exciting one is the mention of "supply chain operational executives". Could that be just as big as the Accord/Clause people?
And notice they didn't mention SWIFT, though perhaps that was already known and didn't need to be mentioned, or just a simple oversight, maybe they're already one of the twelve.
Another user told me the accord collab was predicted as far back as january but the first result on archive is february, I need to look into that. I wanna know how it began?
Eli Jackson
thanks user, dont know how i missed this...
Ryder Moore
this 100% The swift partnership might just be the tip and used to get ICO fundraising.
Jack Perry
If the collaboration of twelve entities (can't tell if they're twelve humans or twelve companies/groups) has a goal of defining new standards to eventually become IEEE standards, it seems like a safe bet to assume the others will be in communication with the IEEE representative.
Later, the article says
"Alpesh Shah, senior director of Global Business Strategy & Intelligence at the IEEE Standards Association, concluded: ‘Defining the viability of smart contract applications utilizing a techno-legal standard is essential to drive industry-wide acceptance.’"
Has anyone looked into Alpesh Shah and who he might be talking to? I think of IEEE people as being old greybeards who don't use social media, so I would be surprised to find him tweeting and being retweeted by potential partners, but it wouldn't surprise me if work being done on an open IEEE standard was being conducted in an IEEE medium. It wouldn't surprise me if there was some obscure, publicly-accessible IEEE mailing list somewhere that we could look at.
Maybe Googling for "IEEE smart contract" is enough for me to start with. I dunno. I'm gonna try it.
Elijah Ross
Das it
He didn't tell us shit. it was literally "i got rich from ETH and now i'm invested in chainlink."
This comes from an user who was blessed to have gotten in the Chainlink preICO from some random link posted here; thanks to the user who posted it.
It's excellent that Chainlink has been revealed to be part the Accord project; I implore you anons to examine their Technology page as well as the Associates and Partners page. The memebers of this consortium will be highly influential, and span the breadth of different niches. One of these partners I haven't seen mentioned on here except for posts I've made about it. It's called Quant/Overledger and has some very interesting names/associations behind it. The token is live and trading at around preTGE price under the symbol QNT on idex. This is my biggest position currently, I expect no less than 20x if things work out like they hold promise to. Market cap is a paltry 5-6 MM with 2/3rds of total supply circulating. If you believe in Chainlink but want to diversify, this is a no brainer pickup here. Do some research and you will see the potential I do.

i'm sure this has happened, or will happen. to be quite honest i've had many more suicidal thoughts ever since getting into "crypto".
Oh what a brainlet, thanks. SherlockLink claims the article was submitted. They did publish a couple of guest articles on blockchain and smart contracts in March, but none by Sergey. Strange.
No idea if you're a larp or not, but attempting (and failing - I don't see a technology page or an associates and partners page) to follow your advice made me find something interesting.
Who originally contributed Fabric to the Hyperledger project?
"Hyperledger Fabric was initially contributed by Digital Asset and IBM, as a result of the first hackathon" - hyperledger.org/projects/fabric
So we have a link from Accord to Digital Asset and IBM, and thus from ChainLink to Accord to Digital Asset to IBM.
Still haven't done much Googling on the IEEE guy yet. Found a linked in for some random guy at Caterpillar, seemingly in India. Doubt that has anything to do with anything, although it made remember, a lot of contributors to and members of the IEEE are not necessarily employed by the IEEE, and engineers involved in open standards may not be doing it out as a personal hobby in their spare time, but potentially as work for their full-time employer.
E.g., someone at Microsoft might contribute to web standards development because they are part of a team that NEEDS that shit standardized, or at least would benefit from standardization. So if we find out who employs this IEEE guy, we may find a company that desires standardization. I.e., ******a potential user of ChainLink.******
Benjamin Wilson
>looks like they're using Hyperledger Fabric:
I need to check out the manual/whitepaper/whatever for hyperledger smart contracts. Can't find it right now, but I read it a couple months ago and I believe there was one or maybe a couple of Hyperledger flavors, possibly chaincodes and Fabric, that struck me as being described in a way that made them sound either like ChainLink or very easy to combine with ChainLink. It would be a pretty crazy coincidence if what I'm remembering is actually ChainLink.
Levi Flores
Fuck off Johnny Cash
Jaxson Foster
>if what I'm remembering is actually ChainLink. Sorry, that should be
What about Jonathon Levi initially being an advisor for Chainlink? Don't see that mentioned?
Matthew Jackson
...
Xavier Torres
I dunno.
Honestly, I don't even remember if there was already an Accord Asset IBM connection and I just noticed one through Hyperledger Fabric, or if that was already the one people mentioned. I wish I had all the important Jow Forums threads cataloged, but I've just been nodding at link threads then going back to being comfy, so all the connections and rumors and ocnfirmations blend together and Im not sure what's reality and what's imagination and dreams here anymore.
Ian Parker
What's up?
John Mitchell
youtube.com/watch?v=AGOT-kQt1D4 Alpesh Shah talking about blockchain. Description mentions healthcare. Watching now, will update if I find anything interesting.
Sebastian Perry
Nothing useful in that video. He offhandedly said the Epics and Cerners of the world will use blockchain one day (duh) and mentioned a couple uses of blockchain in health care and said that he knew of others that he didn't mention.
I wonder how many Alpesh Shahs there are. It seems like a somewhat common name, but how many pay attention to the IEEE?

Kayden Smith
I don't get what you're trying to say, sorry man.
Christopher Price
lmao, IEEE = Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
William Flores
After skimming, I can't find anything of substance, but maybe someone more patient than I will find something.
Looks like his twitter activity consists of tweeting links to news articles and thanking the occasional person who follows him. Maybe someone told him he needs to have a twitter to promote himself or build a personal brand and he couldn't think of anything to say so he just tweets news, I guess.
I have no idea what I'm saying either I thought I saw I3 before so was trying to connect dots but I just got into Link so no clue about anything tech wise
Ryan Green
I still don't get it.
When prpnounced out loud, people call IEEE "the eye triple ee", but as an acronym with a 3 in it, that seems like it would be I3E, if anything.
Bentley Allen
Ah, that's okay. I am just trying to connect dots, too. Don't want to miss anything important, bud. :)
Ryan Richardson
I got nothing but I did stumble on this website that has cool info on it that I never see posted on here .
