Annie Wright - Director of Product Marketing of Salesforce - calls the Dapps Inc team the Blockchain team. She slips and it is obvious the team was working directly with salesforce. I will connect more dots below.
The big connection may be Dominic Steil. Dominic Steil follows smart contract, sergey, and chainlink. Dapps Inc also retweeted Chainlink post here -
This piece of shit token will soon be under 20 cents again. JFYI.

I'm actually more qualified to talk about this than most anons.I'm employed with a cyber-techno machinations company, I do a lot of security analyst programming type work. Open source, decentralized, APIs, partnerships, you name it. We'd be one of the first companies in line for something like Chainlink, if the decentralized smart contract space had more value over traditional data exchanges. There's a catch though, an underlying flaw more deeply embedded in the bedrock of LINK than the very code itself. The flaw is with the concept, and it's this: Companies won't actually go through the hassle of trusting their data API's through crypto.
Now I can already hear your keyboards going frantic, but hear me out. Jow Forums hates banks, and traditional data providers. But actual companies, businesses, and investors do not. There's an old saying you might have heard of: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!". The idea that any of our bosses would give us the go ahead if we approached them to put our companies valuable data in a smart contract on a cryptocurrency called Chainlink, that they've never heard of, we'd be laughed out at best and fired on the spot at worst. We already have API data buyers and providers we trust.
'But Chainlink is trustless!' I hear you cry, but is that really a good thing? Just listen to the sound of it. Businesses don't want to spend millions of dollars on something that is trustLESS, they want something trustFUL. 'But the reputation system!', doesn't that defeat the whole point of your coin? If companies only trust nodes with high reputation, what's the difference between trusting banks and data providers that already have high reputation, but in real life not on a computer screen.
The fact is, LINK is going to share the same fate as ETH will. A lot of 'real world application' hype, with a lot of 'crypto world application' reality. Only, this billion supply coin isn't going to come close to the $1k that Ethereum hit. Happy gambling though anons.
Nice finds, OP. I honestly wonder if there will be an opportunity like Chainlink again. It perfectly traverses the boundary between public and private applications. You look at front end enterprise solutions like the one Dom is talking about and it's likely that it would be very difficult for retail investors to profit from that, even if they could see the value in it. I mean, at the very least you could invest in Ethereum, but those solutions will be running across the EVM and hyperledger and probably even emerging platforms so it's still a gamble. LINK just sits in between all of it. It honestly boggles my mind that it's not a top 20 project already.
Andrew White
If all these companies can utilize chainlink in the background more power to them.

The combination of FUD and shilling and constant presence on Jow Forums really turns people off. I only started looking in Link threads a few months after coming here, went all in recently, thought it was all a meme. Not many people know about Jow Forums though even.
I doubt there will be any crypto investment like Link again in our lifetime.
Checked. And no. We've had BTC and ETH representing decentralized store of wealth and decentralized smart contract computation. LINK is the last fundamental layer from which the new world will be built, and it will survive the shift from Ethereum to whichever competing platform ends up taking over, meaning it will be rivaled only by BTC itself for value on the other side of banks rolling out DLT projects and mainstream adoption picking up the pace.
Don't get me wrong, there will be many moonshots to come, and plenty of interesting projects that will get made that transform the world. But many of them will be built on Chainlink, and its going to be a long time before we see anything as paradigm shifting as the Chainlink network again at a protocol level like this. We'll see transformative consumer applications, but in terms of "the rails" LINK is a once in a lifetime find.
Camden Campbell
What would really get me rock hard is if the bitcoin devs implemented smart contracts at a higher level than they currently are. Etherium has been a total scam imo ever since their decision to fork after the Dao hack.
Hudson King
old pasta
Parker Anderson
Good work OP. Since the Accord speculation was confirmed to be true, I’ve found it a little easier to entertain these theories. Link will moon something fierce.
Jaxon Adams
I’m inclined to agree with you on the DAO hack. Ideologically it makes me nervous for future systems that are built on top. Unfortunately, bitcoin smartcontracts cant be as expressive as decentralized virtual machine contracts. But I want to ask you why it even matters? The point is to be paid in bitcoin, so would you not be okay with at least a network like chainlink triggering that payment? And the contract itself be executed in ethereum or something like ethereum?
How will it moon if people don't invest in the project though? Normies are what made the 2017 bullrun possible...and most of the normies got burned badly in 2018.
Justin Bennett
Whom
Joseph Gomez
I'd be "fine" with it, but it's just not ideal. The entire point of crypto is immutability, so using eth defeats the entire purpose. Long term I'm bullish af for link, just not on the etherium network.
I'd like bitcoin to add real smart contracts b/c they're the gold standard, no other reason.
Grayson Lopez
like the poster said. you dont get it. this isnt about "normies". its about b2b relationships. this network launch will rip your face off once enterprises get onboard and start using it.
Anthony Carter

be honest... how new are you?
Brandon Peterson

Pretty sure Goldman Sachs could buy all bitcoins at these prices. It'll be the bankers and big businesses that get things rolling, then normies will fomo in again @ $950/link and get burned yet again.
Luke Cox
Sergey dresses like he used to troll /b
Grayson Gray
Big business will be given tokens OTC by Sergey from the 650 million that is out of circulation.
Brandon White
And what about another smart contract platform (aside from Ethereum), along with chainlink, with payments being made in bitcoin. Would that be equal?
Luis Hill
Fuck... I dont understand how you could be so clueless.. Its already been explained over and over and fucking over again how chainlink is going to gain traction and eventually moon. I really fucking hate stupid fucks like you. Goddamn.
Why is sergey sucha big business corporate shill Handouts to corporations really?
Adam King
>on a business board >upset that a startup is working with other billion dollar enterprises to implement a solution that could make blockchain and cryptocurrency useful to its fullest potential.
This isnt about normies. This is about large scale financial institutions. This is smart money. You would need mountains and hordes of normies and neets to even rich an eigth of the capital these guys have.
Dylan Nelson
>thank you for our great communities amazing support >communities that fucking dumb gook slut is shitting up this project with her 2nd grade english writing skills
Look at the names of the companies listed there. You really think normie fomo is going to be more significant than money from multi billion dollar industries using link?
Isaiah Fisher
can you keep the discussion on topic? you have to go back poltard.

Those industries will be given or sold tokens at a discount OTC from the 650 million out of circulation...I have a hard time imagining big wigs will make a binance account to purchase tokens.

So amazon is coming up with their own solution

Good thing they work with SWIFT...

I'm actually more qualified, a bunch of 4channers, you know the drill.
Jason Myers
>dig with me Fuck no.
I’ve been 90% in Link since the presale and ICO, and this retarded digging and dot connecting is going to kill any chance of a moon mission.
Nathaniel Hernandez
The Salesforce building looks like Sergey's shirt! Confirmed!
Connor Myers
Those big businesses can increase the value of their LINKs by just purchasing some extra LINKs on the open market. Took me some time to realise this.
Sebastian Brown
ari paul did. When asked about where to buy chainlink tokens, he twitted that the guy needs to leave money behind mcdonald's toilet bidets and "ask no questions", referencing sergey's big mac addiction
Bentley Rivera
Bullish af
Joseph Thompson
I know they completed a PoC for SWIFT and all but can chainlink even solve the oracle problem or do we have to wait until mainnet to find out?
