Frens, I just spent some time making this analysis for you. This is of interest to Link Marines in particular, but also anyone interested in market cycles and identifying trends in emerging technology.
I conclude that smart contracts and oracles are in stealth mode and soon will shift into the awareness phase, in preparation for the next bubble, which will mirror the cryptocurrency meme bubble of 2017. How long this will take, I am not sure. How long did the cryptocurrency meme take to lift-off? Years?
Google searches for chainlink as a gay sex position have not been factored into my analysis since they probably represent less than 0.001% of searches. Chainlink fencing is more of a barrier to analysis than homosexual acts, but thanks for your input.

I found your infographic interesting op, thanks
William Taylor
good job fren
Leo Cruz
Thank you frend
Charles Parker
I read the picture before the comment and found it very interesting.
Until I read the 5th graph and realized that it was about chainlink, then I giggled.
I'm not going to say that chainlink is bound to fail, but it's not going to be part of a new bubble in 19/20.

Great research. Chainlink in 2018 is Eth in 2015 is Bitcoin in 2013.
Jordan Myers
link is a meme and ICO scam lol draw some memelines to go with this analysis
Ayden Butler
Nice one OP
Benjamin Rivera
stinkies getting excited because normies search for replacement chainlinks for their broken necklaces and bracelets or fences and confusing smart contract searches for chainstink hype instead of eth hype >mfw they will end up poor and holding whales bags when they dump on mainnet
LINK peaked during the goldrush and has been struggling to break $.60 ever since
every single time something link related happens linkies claim "this is the news that will make link moon!" "I have inside info, and link is in for some big partnerships to be announced NOW!" "Link will be $50 by the end of this quarter and $1k EOY 2017/Q2 2018/EOY 2018!!!!"
and every single time it is a dumb nothingburger that barely registers
Parker Thompson
Thank you fren. We will make it. See you in rio or in Thailand

Fucking hell CoinBase send me my fucking verification email already so I can buy some fucking linkies no more nocoins for me
We still have the gay forced prophecy which WILL go unfulfilled by the year end I wonder what linkies will do then
Andrew White
OH lmao we're so ahead of the curve on this one wtf. We routinely talk about porting the old financial system into smartcontracts for decentralized lending, trading of derivatives (solution to 2008 crisis), bringing the unbanked good financial services. I mean, when everything peaked in late 2017/early 2018, my friends who knew I was trading crypto only asked how much bitcoin I own, even though I'm more of an ethereum guy. It all makes sense now. Yeah kek once the public realizes what the fuck is going on, we'll already have BIG bags the best projects that represent the future this industry is building.
ZRX, OMG, LINK, and REP literally cover most of the function of this industry.
(If you are wondering why I said OMG, It's because the OMG network will settle all tokens, so all you need is to spend OMG or ETH and the merchant will automatically receive their currency of choice, which is handled using something like ZRX and LINK for the backend)
Kek if we hold for another 3 years max, we'll be so fucking rich!!!!!!!!!

Also OP if you want to fix some of the typos before this analysis gets spread around: In the second to last paragraph you write 'like' twice >cannot be confused with something like, like chainlink fencing And in the paragraph above that you write >'have barely took off' instead of 'have barely taken off'
Jaxson Ward
wow I sound like a redditor. But seriously
Evan Phillips
so you thought it was interesting but then you realized it was about chainlink and your internal bias took over and you, as a supposedly sapient person, don't find this alarming? that you should change your thinking? are you a woman?
William Clark
Very beautiful work, OP. Very confident that we are going to make it.
Blake Brown
Great analysis.
Smartcontracts are gonna be the talk of 2019 and usher in a massive amounts of money though Oracles chainlink.
Cryptocurrencies had their bull run Smartcontract platforms had their bull run Oracles are gonna have their bull run in 2019. and with oracles, the tide will rise all boats.
Alexander Moore
ty fren. my analysis is that you're based and redpilled, as well as being a gentleman and a scholar
The best part is that even if investor sentiment is rock bottom when main net launches, the amount of activity that it will stimulate will inevitably draw attention to the project. Chainlink will simply have too many adopters to go under the radar.
Camden Gonzalez
Seems to have found a floor how I see it. Now, whether it completes the month long head an shoulders pattern that is emerging, or smashes through 10k sats remains to be seen.
Joseph Gray
Way too early for that. Normies still barely can fathom what is a bitcoin. We are still in the cryptocurrencies era. Smart contract platforms (and Ethereum which enables smart contracts) will become slowly relevant in 2019-2022
After that Oracles and decentralized nodes (which chainlink represents) will become the most relevant question somewhere circa 2021-2025
Seriously, if Chainlink were solving THE MOST relevant question at the moment: we would see a lot more competition.
How many other projects there are that are trying to do the same? 2 or 3 (including Chainlink)?
You know Chainlink´s time has come when the market is flooded with tens, or even hundreds of new tokens and technologies, all trying to have a piece of the decentralized oracle network to provide data for smart contracts.
That is when Chainlink has achieved relevancy.

Objectively looking at Chainlink I understand the reasoning and speculation that it may be the catalyst for the next era of crypto. The tech, partnerships, lack of scammy marketing, all incredibly great things. However the thing that gets me is that if Chainlink actually is what biz thinks it is, then all is biztards will be filthy rich. The part of the puzzle I can’t understand is how this degenerate corner of the internet is so aware and early to this that we all make it. I truly cannot look past the amount of retardation here to accept that result as a realistic possibility. Am I missing something here? I’m fairly new to biz (little over a year) was this how it was with Bitcoin or Ethereum back in the day?

Check the archives. The people who got rich off btc and eth were also degenerates.
Jose Reyes
You just win.
Ian Nguyen
I agree that it will take time. But you forget that Sergey literally said they are working with “hundreds of teams”. He wouldn’t say that to hype shit up in a scammy way - it’s surely true. So once mainnet launches chainlink really will become relevant. The “first sell off” on the meme bubble chart will probably be people taking profits after mainnet launch. Then we will see speculative mania after the value of the network and actual adoption becomes apparent. The price of the token will then peak. This is when linkies should sell - OR - hold and continue staking, waiting for extreme mass adoption by big players, and token price will then follow the “crypto j curve” meme.
Christopher Adams
>That is when Chainlink has achieved relevancy. Ohhhhh you follow the classic buy high and sell low strategy hmm?
Sebastian Baker
This analysis doesn't mean we are in stealth phase. I agree with you about smart contracts being in stealth phase. The uptrend in oracle searches coincides with the ico of chainlink and blockchain mania in general. Since chainlink had there ico the topic of oracles hasn't gained any search volume. It has pretty much just stayed concistent. I would need to see more upward momentum on the oracle related search terms before i would actually believe we're in stealth phase.
Lincoln Wright
>topic of oracles hasn't gained any search volume. It has pretty much just stayed concistent. Organic growth. What do you think is going to happen when mainnet launches?

Go onto warosu and pick a date range and just start browsing threads. It's pretty interesting seeing people fudding BTC at $200 or ETH at $1.
David Thomas
delusion: the post
Logan Morgan
Not bad, OP.
Nathaniel Hernandez
Very nice job good work
Brandon Walker
Would a portfolio consisting of btc, eth, and link be ideal
Gabriel Lopez
remove btc and eth and you've got it
Tyler Rivera
Meh...there is a chance link could flop...btc and eth are on sale right now and will most likely be around 10 years from now.
Jonathan Robinson
>TUUVUVVv What did they mean by this?
Michael Robinson
BTC won't let you make it unless it goes up to $1m per BTC or something astronomical like that. ETH is useless with no use case without LINK's decentralized oracles, which would mean going in LINK instead of eth will yield better returns
ID confirms I'm giving goood advice
Oliver Rogers
I already have 50k linkies, but I am thinking of investing in btc and eth as a hedge in case link flops.
Michael Harris
Chain linking with tarps isn't gay. Tarps aren't gay!
you should keep your funds in FIAT or buy gold instead of getting btc or eth
Bentley Gonzalez
my dude it only lifted off because people were buying shit and actually looking at the tech to see if it sounded good to them. once they started losing money they stopped researching. i wouldn't really call this a smart contracts chart. don't believe it's that meta for this specific approach
When eth made its run to 300, what smart contract platforms were there? ANS had just come out and there was nothing else excepting, sort of, xrp and xlm
Isaiah Rodriguez
Lol they read exactly like Chainlink threads today

Samuel Lee
No you’re wrong. Look at the chart for “blockchain oracles”. It increased in 2017 and it’s stayed higher than before. Chainlink has a peak during its ICO but if you look at the chart you see that the interest in chainlink is now higher than the pre-ico spike. I’m not sure if we are still in stealth more or have moved to awareness. But interest in oracles has definitely increased and stayed higher than before. Smart contracts have also not seen anywhere near as much attention as they deserve yet, either, compared with the charts for eth and bitcoin.
