How is Link such an obvious investment yet nobody fucking knows? Does it not highlight the state of crypto? People invested only have a tiny understanding of what crypto or smart contracts are, hence you could shill link to anyone and they still just wouldn't get it. Is this project just that high level? Ethereum was kinda hard to understand at first, but Link is a complicated solution to a complicated problem on a complicated system(smart contracts). I guess that may be why people who don't get it wont.
Before I found Link, i was researching and thinking about oracle problem (not how i defined it then) for months and months. It made me almost quit crypto thinking smart contracts can never work and all of this is bullshit. Then I clicked on one of the stupid fucking Link threads one day and say someone mention API data feed. I read the white paper and realsied waht LINK was and it made me optimistic on all of crypto again. That was 8 months ago and I'm still really sure about this.
I know the 0 marketing approach doesn't help, but even still. I just think normies Don't understand this fucking projects importance even if you had the information shilled to them.
Imagine trying to grasp what a smart contract is, then how it fucking works. Oracles and decentralized ones are very high level concept
Colton Lee
Normies barely understand crypto, let alone smart contracts, let alone knowing smart contracts require oracles.
The entire concept is not hard to understand, the problem is interest. Been talking about smart contracts and link every now and then among friends but they're just flat out not interested
Leo Parker
I tried shilling links to my friends into crypto and they don't think it's that much of a big deal. Most people don't have vision, and are just drones. They will fomo once forbes, cnbc et all start talking about it. For normies chainlink is just a weird and creepy nerdy thing.
same here bro, that smartass contract needs the fucking off chain data to do something useful in the real world
not selling, all I can think about on link is when to buy more
John Anderson
Don't underestimate the technical nature of it. The lack of itnerest is a byproduct of that. If you are not interested you will never get it. It sounds dull. If you are interested, you probably don't care and want some stuppid shitcoins.
If you are interested,and understand smart contracts, Links solution was probably on your mind already and something you may have even thought about before. Seriously when I found Link everything CLICKED and it was an amazing feeling.
Leo Harris
OP your not alone i think of this everyday. It completely blows my mind how largely overlooked link is or unknown. Its almost to good to be true...it actually has a use case, and not just one, think of link being like windows operating system and having all different type of programs that can use it for different purposes, the possibilities are endless. The token actually has a use case too. The team is perfect. Sergey seems to be picked out by the hands of god. The professional behavior of the whole team and how they get things finished is incredible and something that should be modeled after for the rest of the crypto community. I mean...i could keep going for another hour about how all these stars align but yet i start to feel crazy because how do only we know about? Did some discords plan work and everyone whos knows link really think its a meme or its just a /biz thing so they dont bother with it? I get so confused thinking about this how there seems to be a chance of a lifetime standing right infront of all these people and nobody is taking it but us. Im scared. Help.
Most people still think ETH is some sort of currency so yea its not hard to imagine how early we are
David Reed
brother link is so perfect there are people using their precious life time trying to fud it in groups here 24/7
we all gonna make it
Justin Hughes
I agree. Most normies just can't comprehend the vision of what the world will look like in the near future unless the mainsream media tells them. They truly are NPC's as sad as that is.
Also, most people simply don't want to think about it. They want easy topics of discussion about entertainment and pop culture. Thinking is becoming a lost art. They also don't want to take any risk at all so why try to comprehend it if you have no interest even investing in it.
Ryan Gomez
I forgot to mention it also seems like its the only key for true adoption of crypto. Like how a visa card will use it in the background for actual transactions withouth having to deal with stupid coins and shit...link spits it out as real world currency but the back bone operations will all be done with eth and link
Jaxson Sanders
Sometimes I wonder if alot of the major whales are simply not talking about it because they are accumulating late in the game. Like all these major twitter accounts who have never talked about it. It's mind boggling at times.
Charles Cook
for real, no one talks about chainlink yet they all fucking need it, or are we really that deluded?
Angel Russell
This is exactly it. Any functioning blockchain otuside of currency needs a Link like solution. I was thinkinga bout this for months before i found Link and as i said, almost fucking gave up on crypto thinking if it cant be solved it had no future. then I found this.
The FUD is perfect. Link is so good it is overshilled by design, memed to death and spammed to the point of irritation. This makes it seem like everything a crypto project should NOT be (hyper shilled). It will always be overlooked till it is too late for this reason.
The memes keep everyone out. Seriously. You cannot find out about link without the Jow Forums gateway guarding all the most important information about it. Biz asociation with Link makes anyone think it is a joke.
the best part is that this doesn't even matter. link will moon because it gets adopted and is necessary, no amount of memes can stop it.
Ive thought about this...and for some reason i feel like they do know and if they do why would they want anyone else to know? I mean if everything is true and all the stars do align, link alone could be the biggest blockchain player in the game, bigger than btc plus all the other shitcoins that do literally nothing. So its like these whales have these golden tickets they can pass out but why would they?
Caleb Nguyen
Some I think are simply pump and dumpers who use their crowd to their advantage. Some are simply traders who swing too much to sit on any project for too long. Some of the more fundamental types I just don't understand why they haven't mentioned it. Wolf of Crypto is the only guy I see mention it with any big following.
I'm also surprised some big funds are not buying. Or maybe they are and that is why they are silent. They must be considering how big this project could be.
Brody Ortiz
ITT circlejerk of paid shills and desperate bagholders
Joseph Roberts
You would imagine though that some have accumulated a big enough bag. At some point, when you are satisfied with your bag, you turn on the shilling to tell the world about it.
Alexander Gonzalez
They don't fucking know. big mouths can't help but shout about it and be the "first one to call the link super moon on twitter!!".
Twitter faggots are attention seeking validation craving morons. they would shout about link if they thought it was the next eth, just to be the guy who called it.
Isaac Rodriguez
Ari Paul started to talk about it last year (he tweeted about it as if he just discovered it), then he fudded it and completely stopped talking about it. So yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if other major players weren't talking about it just to accumulate more as much as possible.
Robert Smith
They will know about it soon however with alot of LINK shill accounts coming onto twitter lately.
Jaxon Perry
People think any blockchain real world use case doesnt really need link, because after all, you can always pass data to a smart contract through one centralized oracle. But real contract automation requires link, as this shit will get every norm compliant and make smartcontracts as valid as paper contracts, except cheaper (wayyyy cheaper), faster (wayyy faster) and in a secured manner/environment
all of this while profiting from all the qualities a blockchain ledger has to offers
ive been strapped to my seat for months dont care when, but this shit will take off with or without Jow Forums
Caleb Lopez
>paid shills straight from the horses fucking mouth comfy thread OP
guys, i think we have to considered if big whales have gotten their bags silently..they dont have to shill at all because remember the value of link will rise naturally due to the nature of the network..the more usage on the network the more link HAS to be worth to support that network...so lets say it takes 5-10 years for full amazing adoption...the whales would be happy to accumulate this whole time just like us...they dont need to shill it all all for it to rise, it WILL happen.
Chainlink is vaporware until main net. If you're just playing around with a few thousand then the risk reward ratio for getting in now makes sense, but when you got real nigga money taking a huge risk is just foolish when you've already made it.
Aiden Garcia
Because it's notorious for being a Jow Forums coin and any random person who might come here for info is met with walls of copy paste fud and morbidly obese Sergey shops.
Ryder Green
>mfw theres millions of niggers and mexicans walking around with shopping carts who don't know what the word "blockchain" even means
haha, niggers, mexicans and filipinos are so clueless
It is a good thing. Obviously Jow Forums is gonna talk about it, impossible to keep it secret, so the solution for normies learning is excessive shilling and fudding
James Powell
this has kept me up at night as well. as one user put it: original bitcoiners were crytpographers, then anarchist jumped on board, then SV, then investors, and finally the normie crowd.
Probably 3/4 or 1/2 of these understood Bitcoin as a solution for our currency problem. But that's where most stopped at. It wasn't until ETH showed up that other potential usages came about. But few people have understood ETH. ETH got traction, but as other anons put it, it just created more shitcoins, so the real world value to ETH still is yet to be demonstrated.
It's only now that we autists, neets, and people with many frens, can come together and test different theories, ideas, and speculation to look at Link as the missing puzzle. Im sure a lot of us are frustrated that we missed the bitcoin boat for idiotic reasons, but the fact remains: the fun part is just beginning. Once a marine, always a marine.
Isaac Ramirez
>this has kept me up at night as well. as one user put it: original bitcoiners were crytpographers, then anarchist jumped on board, then SV, then investors, and finally the normie crowd.
That is an excellent point. Now the order is changing in that us neets might have been the first to discover the missing piece.
Gavin Ramirez
More or less how i see it.
>BTC-ETH-LINK The Trilogy of blockchain for the future. The complete puzzle.
Normies and most people invested in crypto STILL DONT UNDERSTAND ETHEREUM. How the fuck is link shillable to them? It isn't.
Angel Roberts
If crypto were the internet we'd be at about 1995. Sure tons of people have heard of it, but almost no one uses it for its intended purpose.
Once the ui and backend problem is solved for bitcoin it will be usable for things like buying a cup of coffee by tech antiliterate boomers.
Robert Turner
Internet was mainstream in 1995 what are you talking about every comapny had a website by that point and everyone had AOL.
You can only put decentralized oracle nodes at the source. Centralized systems cannot.
Aiden Walker

Jonathan Harris
Normies or "NPCs" know literally nothing about crypto. Just like general stock and finance, Its not interesting to them. They know of bitcoin from the media last year, paid vague attention to it for a couple of months, and have now completely forgotten about it. Any further discussion of it typically goes: "Uhhh crypto?? Isnt that like bitcoin?? Yeah its not worth anything orr?? thats what my dad said you'd be stupid to invest in those internet coins" Normies dont even save their money. Forget INVESTING it, and forget investing it into something so niche and obscure as a coin like LINK. (until it moons and they see it on their social media that is)
Assuming any coin moons and you make a huge profit, to normies you are literally "those random computer nerds that got lucky" And people are always skeptical of grandiose claims hence the fudding from other bag holders.

Eli Price
Innovation with the internet goes far, far beyond companies having a website man. One of the jobs I've worked in my life is a sales rep for a food vendor. We order food with ipads for like 100 stores in a week. It is all so sleek, so convenient. It took a while, but the internet eventually trickled into that aspect of the logistics industry and probably got rid of half the work force because 1 person was now able to do so much more. The internet changed so much that it is hard to even understand the full extent of it.
Link GAY threads are going up. I like how they switch from FUD to GAY threads. Complete idiots

I have 2 friends that invested in Crypto, they know nothing other buying what is offered on Coinbase. Don't know how to use binance or other exchanges, they are clueless. Lots of normies are like that.
Dylan Wilson
If it feels surreal now, just wait until your 100k Linkies are worth $100k, $1 million, $10 million. The truth of what will happen to us Linkies is more insane than the counterfactual of it failing. Jow Forums will change the course of Western history yet again, riding on the coattails of geniuses Sergey and Steve and the new open model of cryptocurrency investing.
Josiah Cruz
Its a smug feeling really. Sometimes when Im out somewhere like a bar, I'll look around and think to myself how comfy of a feeling it is that I am the only one in this building that knows about Chainlink. Hell, I'm most likely the only one that knows about smart contracts. Of course these are just thoughts I keep to myself. I try to stay humble about it and I will use the money I gain from Chainlink wisely, but it is so damn smug knowing how early you are in this technology.
Cameron Howard
Why are you guys acting so smug? LINK isn't a sure thing, it's a small start up and needs a million things to go right for it to succeed. Plus, there's numerous projects in the works right now that could potentially kill LINK, like Astraea.
Its not a sure thing, but Chainlink really is the leader of the oracle space. Astraea is needs to leap forward insanely quickly be on the same level. Chainlink is starting to cement its spot as the number 1 oracle provider.
Sebastian Robinson
It is a currency... you use it to pay for usage of the Ethereum network.
If LINK doesnt succeed what were all the memes for?
Samuel Kelly

Connor White
Hey retard, maybe if you read the post I was replying to you would know that I was talking about Ethereum.
Owen Wilson
The thing I don't understand is why we know about this, but others don't? If this is set to disrupt entire industries then why aren't there more people talking about this? I'm not talking redditors, I'm talking people who work in the industry, lawyers, businessmen, tech guys. Not gosner, but the kind of guys who work for gosner. If you worked heavily with contracts, maybe at a large company, wouldn't you be aware of threats to your job? There's a lot of people at the intersection of tech, law and finance. Where are they? How come a bunch of neets know more about the supposed future of contracts and exchange?
Look at all the mentions of link by random articles. It's almost always about being one of the many solutions to the Oracle problem, usually mentioned along oraclize and other shit. There's no recognition of potential or autistic dot connecting. Shouldn't there be some talk from knowledgeable people who work in the industry. Like the guys who made linkpool. Smart guys who see the potential, but not super rich insiders. Shouldn't there be more of them? This is more concerning to me than the lack of attention from popular crypto names. It's more telling, I think. I feel insane when I read about link here. Surely others would have noticed this shit?
James Rivera
Same scenario. I kept thinking to myself bitcoin ethereum I knew something was missing and then it clicked. The thing is I don’t understand why someone in the know like developers and people who are big time into ethereum are not all over it as well and telling their communities all about it. I just never see it mentioned much I don’t understand why
Liam Reed
This is a great point and becomes more unsettling the more I think about it. How has something so revolutionary stayed so under the radar for over a year?
Jackson Bell
Because they don’t have time to sit around and shitpost on a Vietnamese basketweaving hangout.
Because the mainnet hasn’t launched yet. As link is the anti-hype projects of all projects, and all other crypto shit coin mainnets have failed (because they’re all just glorified shitcoin blockchains), chainlink’s mainnet launch will be the opposite of theirs and actually be one that closely precedes the singularity. Just as the prophecy was written. Kek mit uns. Heil hitler
Takes incredible vision to see the future from something so new. The only reason we understand it so well is because we have spent over a year analyzing it with a group of different minds so it was held to the fire many times and kept coming out fine. Don't underestimate the hive mind
Cooper Roberts
>mfw when someone posts your autistic ramblings you wrote months ago
My attitude on link flip flops so often nowadays. Why wouldn't people use link if they come out with a usable mainnet? You can tailor your purchase of data with however much decentralization and security you could want. The vision is a one stop shop for all your off chain needs.
But some of the fud gets to me pretty hard,like the implementation of the reputation system and other unclear implementation details.
Also the lack of talk and vision among even devs and such. There are no interesting dapps. Everyone just kind of shrugs and no one asks why. I care less about " lawyers, businessmen, tech guys" now and more about devs. There were some good points brought up in the original thread, about how even smart normies aren't too interested about blockchain. But Is the oracle problem even that big of a deal if devs blow it off as a non issue?
I was raised in a cult. I was told “normies” didnt understand the power of what we knew. I was told we were special, that we were the few who really got it. This chainlink shit is so similar to the cult it gives me freaky flashbacks. I still have a small bag sure but the reasonable logical non-hubris part of my brain knows how fucking delusional you all are.
Leo Walker
I attended a talk by a lawyer talking about smart contracts.
He wasn't a tech person, and I expected it to be about blockchain.
Instead it was about what I thought was stupid lawyer shit and I didn't really pay attention.
The guy said there were going to be four stages of smart contract development in law.
It would start with ai for reading today's paper contracts to understand basic facts, progressing to just fully programmatic contracts with automated enforcement that completely replace parts of companies' operations.
Can't remember if he was saying this shit would replace all middle and back office or just back office stuff, which is apparently manual, inefficient, and pretty much different at every firm.
He thought blockchain was a big technology but said he didn't know much about tech and wouldn't be a good person to ask about it or something.
I thought I wasted my time attending this talk but when I realized what openlaw, clause, Accord, are doing... I really regretted not paying attention.
Yes, people are paying attention but they're basically just lawyers who are excited. Nobody else knows wtf, as far as I could tell.
Wyatt Long
I’m going to tell you. It’s a human psychology issue. How many of you would go explore a unknown cave first? How many of you would travel to mars and be the first one? How do you know it’s safe? How do you know it’s livable? We went to the moon, doesn’t mean we can land on Mars in the same way. My point is humans are scared to act alone and into the unknown. The people who got rich off the internet were visionaries. They could see in the potential. Except, you had small circles. You didn’t have the internet to discuss. The internet connected massive ideas together. Most people at the time couldn’t fathom that. Take a look at businesses today. Take a look at how we operate as a society. We have trust that the traffic will stop on red. We trust that other businesses will act accordingly. We trust the media (or did). People are waking up that you cannot function on trust. But people don’t realize the solution. The solution is decentralization. Chainlink is literally changing the DNA at a business level. It’s going to be used so ubitiously and the impact is so enormous you cannot even begin to imagine the possibilities. It’s so ridiculous that your thoughts start to look insane. We are witnessing ground breaking technology , a new era for global connectiveness and a paradigm shift in the way we interact with other humans. It’s easy to fud and believe it, it’s also easy to be poor.
Jackson Adams

Now imagine: I'm someone who is interested in blockchain and smart contracts and was excited to attend a smart contract talk by a lawyer excited about the future of smart contracts.
... And I ended up bored as fuck not really understanding what the guy was so excited about, thinking "wtf, why isn't he talking about blockchain, this is lame".
For non-lawyers, this just sounds like more automation of repetitive data entry tasks. It's fucking boring and sounds like it's just more of the same automation we've had for years, just for contracts now. Big deal. I'm not a lawyer, why do I care if some lawyer is excited that more data entry shit is getting automated?
Jaxson Harris
The majority of traders are bots who run against chart candles. Another cohort is manual swing traders who have developed amphetamine psychosis and are no longer able to process the meta of the situation. Those who are still with it are bored as Fuck by the margin stop loss hunters and can barely pay attention.

I remember reading a study a couple months back about financial executives being asked, "what technology do you think will impact your business the most in the future?" And blockchain technology was barely mentioned. When you think about it, its not too surprising. Most of these executives know how their business currently operates and formulate their opinions on the future of their business in that manner. Warren Buffet shared a story where he talked to an up incoming Bill Gates, who told him to invest into Microsoft because computers will "change everything." What did Warren Buffet do? He scoffed at the idea, only to admit much later that he did not fully understand the implications of computers. You have to realize that these top dogs dont understand every single aspect of business. You might have a better understanding of DLT then a top executive at Berkshire Hathaway, just like how he would have a much better understanding of investing in stocks/bonds etc.

Nolan Howard
This is the kind of stuff that keeps me going in times of strong fud. And it's not like the fud has even been good lately. There's nothing left to talk shit about, all the criticisms of CL are unfounded because all the semi legit ones have been debunked. I made a shit ton off BTC, then ETH, then ANS/NEO. Went all in on Link back in February and haven't looked back. Crypto has made me strong and has taught me to remember to stick to my beliefs. Nothing to this point has changed, CL is still on the verge of revolutionizing the crypto space and being the last puzzle piece. At this point I feel I can wait for years no problem even though single digit Link will make me a millionaire. Though personally it's 8 digits or bust. Remember that anons if you ever feel weak.
