Lets check this article from August last year, it kinda went down the memory hole for some reason but there is some juicy information in there that has not been talked about here before:
now the interesting part about the article is that bit here: >"Oracles are the new miners in the blockchain world," Patrick Murck, special counsel at the New York law firm Cooley, recalls saying at a conference last year. "And I still believe that's true."
Now who is Patrick Murck you might ask. >linkedin.com/in/patrickmurck he is a lawyer that was really early on advocating for bitcoin and this Cooley he is working for is a really big law firm: >en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooley_LLP ...that is also involved in the accord project (chainlink contributes to this project): >accordproject.org/
>"...recalls saying at a conference last year." so I digged around and the conference they talk about is Consensus 2016 and here this is what he said:
(it starts at 32:23, Murck is the guy in the middle)
>"so everybody who missed out on mining Bitcoin, Oracles are the new miners, like oracles is the new mining, thats actually going to be one of the easiest to attain like value add services in this whole ecosystem" >"...its a huge business opportunity"
I already know this myself. I dont need no one to explain it to me, i only listen to me. I am the genius. Not some random douchebag who thinks hes smart.
>SPLIT YOUR LUNGS WITH BLOOD AND THUNDER >WHEN YOU SEE THE WHITE WHALE >BREAK YOUR BACKS AND CRACK YOUR OARS MEN >IF YOU WISH TO PREVAIL >THIS IVORY LEG IS WHAT PROPELS ME >HARPOONS THRUST IN THE SKY >AIM DIRECTLY FOR HIS CROOKED BROW >AND LOOK HIM STRAIGHT IN THE EYE
That's great but how do I buy rhombus then sirs????

Bump for top autism OP and very fucking interesting indeed.
Oracles will indeed be like mining in the early days. Make sure you stake your linkies early, marines!
Austin Mitchell
How do you stake brother?
Levi Hall
What about for anons like myself that are too brainlet to run a node? Would it be better to simply hold and cash out later?
Aiden Thomas
People like you are the reason I FUD chainlink. You don't seem like a Chainlink kind of person. Opt for Tron instead. It suits people like you better.
Christopher Baker
And your cringe af
Luis Parker
You need to learn how to do it yourself, there are tutorials,or join a pool. The only existing pool right now is Linkpool, and you have to own Linkpool shares to be in the first group of people who get to stake.
Xavier Barnes
Why wouldn’t you just use Linkpool or a competing service (if they ever come out)?
Daniel Evans
Don't make it easy for him. He becomes more competition once mainnet arrives.
I'd rather drink from the Ganges than suffer through another season of Better Call Saul?
Logan Anderson
BCS is kino tho
Jayden Peterson
STILL NO TOKEN ECONOMY FOR LINK TO APPRECIATE
Carter Butler
Anyone have resources on how long I'll have to wait to stake through Linkpool if I don't own one of their shares? Staking will be the way to go probably for me, I'm in this for the long haul anyway. Thanks
