I feel that these few upcoming moments and Jow Forums are the end of my 10 year old Jow Forums journey.
Jow Forums is unironically one of the most powerful social-technology-thing ever invented. It filters the truth out. All the ideas and trends are born here, all the small complaints that few years later become mainstream are posted here first.
And here we are with Chainlink... Our last - 'Jow Forums was right'
Unironcally link news and breadcrumbs is the only reason I stuck around since 2017. My brain filters out all threads unless I see chainlink or the logo. Once we've all made it I'll be gone and I'm sure a lot of us will be.
Jow Forums is this great place where no matter how extreme or ridiculous your post is, at least 10 people will see it, cuz your post isn't on some "new post" page where nobody visits or completely lost since u got 2 downvotes and reported for racism/hate speech.

WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER
DO NOT UNDER ESTIMATE THE POWER OF POSITIVE THOUGHT! ESPECIALLY COLLECTIVE POSITIVE THOUGHT!!
THIS SHIT IS GOING TO REACH $1,000 EASILY! HOLD THAT THOUGHT AND VISUALIZE IT IN YOUR MIND EVERYDAY AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE STARTING NOW AND IT WILL MANIFEST INTO REALITY. DO IT! I'M NOT JOKING!
VISUALIZE AS OFTEN AND AS DETAILED AS POSSIBLE!

This can definitely happen and I want to be here when it do

The timing of this thread couldn't be more accurate. In 1 month this board might just look a bit different...
Robert Edwards
Why leave? We will become the next generation of larpers. The ones that simply got lucky even though link was rammed down our throats. We will come back with suggestions just like the others who have found solace and something more.
We have more important things to do. Some of us unironically became 30 yo boomers precisely when the 30 yo boomer meme came out and it was an eye opener.
Ryder Sullivan
You have a duty to pass on any tips you have to the others who have found their way here regardless. T. Boomer I've been here since the beginnings.
Is there something I have missed? What’s with the all the heartfelt ends? I’m just here to jack off to Lisa su.
Christopher Gray
me too user, Jow Forums was the only place where a broken man like me who nobody could tolerate for more than 2 minutes got hundreds of frens, i need to live my life now but i will never forget this place and all of the frens we made. Thank you guys, you made me human.
Thomas Green
If link excites minds biz, then for normies it will be a brain explosion.
Adam Turner
I'm sipping a monster right now.
Leo Roberts
Jow Forums is unironically a redpill in the sense that staying here for a while reveals so much about people and it's probably more than you want to know. You can not stay here for years and not be changed.
I don't why but I feel comfy here even though usually I get shitty responses. I think even if I made it I would still come here to shitpost and invest in shitcoins with play money. I would do it a few times a week, pretend I'm working and tell everyone I'm a crypto expert (I'm not)
Leo Garcia
Did anybody make a screencap of that user who said something like
>you don't come to Jow Forums if everything is right
Julian Howard
Jow Forums unironically saved my life. Thanks to Jow Forums I lost 300lbs. Thanks to Jow Forums I stayed out of debt, and will make it with chainlink. If it wasn't for you glorious monsters I would have been dead by now.
Ian Reed
Sad thruth is our success will be our downfall. When link moons some rich neet with good intentions will buy the site thinking he can do good. Really it will be the beginning of the end
Gavin Evans
Dont kid yourself op, you'll never leave this place

now that i think.. its more than 10. i started browsing /tv/ few months after TDK was released, around 2008 september. fuck

what do the Summer and Autumn icons represent?
Ryder Howard
Memeing with you was the best part of my life frens. It might be true that we got scammed by the LINK whales and our investment is worthless - but the journey here is something I would not trade for real gains. If I had to choose right now - forget those two years of FUD, FOMO and slowly being indoctrinated into the LINK cult to get 1mm$, I would choose you guys without a second thought.
1. This 2. After being in the crucible of truth that is Jow Forums, nothing else will even feel warm

Jow Forums is the world's first open-source secret society. It cannot be replicated, and while it can be steered, it can't be controlled for any meaningful amount of time.
Nathaniel Lee
Lol I’m going to stay here and gloat/teach others and spread good messages and discussions to people. I’m sure a lot of us who will make it will stick around to at least show off and also to encourage others to join us
Some user told me to get a rescue to dog to help with depression and it was the best advice I’ve ever received. Maybe my 18k LINK will be enough to make it, or maybe it’ll just give me some freedom to make my own choices. I like this place
Daniel Cooper
>tfw 37k linklet I will never make it, but atleast some hopeless neet incels will get rich instead of some cocksucking normie faggots. Can only hope for the best for my frens
>I don't why but I feel comfy here even though usually I get shitty responses Raw reality, here's why. Fear/uncomfortable feeling comes from what you don't know, here you can see almost anything in plain sight. As shitty as it may seems, it still takes you more control over the creation of a somewhat safe space in the eye of the storm
Christopher Russell
this. i will frog post once a month and i expect you guys to follow suit
Jow Forums can be a powerful Darwinian thought engine; it is an underground decentralized think tank wearing the mask of a troll board

Is ChainLINK and Jow Forums the same as Trump and Jow Forums?
Unironically, yes and I will tell you why.
The concept of memetics was originally introduced by Richard Dawkins in his book "the selfish gene". Essentially, he posited that ideas and concepts are subject to the same mechanics as genetics in the way they "reproduce" and spread throughout cultures. Memes are essentially just ideas and ideas have to go through a natural selection process that determines whether the components of the idea are fit for survival and propagation.
Consider4chan as an environment in which ideas are naturally selected. Jow Forums's platform is a uniquely harsh environment where only the especially fertile ideas are able to survive - posts only last 2 hours tops, there's no upvote/downvote system or identification that is tied to an idea's introduction. An important part is to understand that just like in genetics, the things that survive are not necessarily the best "logically" but for whatever other indeterminable reason they are the ones that experienced reproductive success.
Take pepe for example I mean what is it about pepe that we can't fucking drop - consider the amount of reproductive memetic strength for pepe to get posted every day so so often. Every meme-like post on Jow Forums could be the next pepe but because posts disappear so fast the majority of them die. For whatever reason, the attributes of pepe make it especially powerful in terms of reproduction. That intangible quality that allows pepe to have completely enchanted those who have been exposed to it.
Now think about chainlink and how it seems to display those same qualities! Possibly even in a harsher environment (Jow Forums competitive vs. Jow Forums already groupthink). It's worth investing in chainlink for this memetic quality ALONE.
Couple that with the actual strong fundamentals and it's a certainty that chainlink will be successful, provided the team is able to produce the product they envision.
Bentley Thompson
Unironically same here. I feel like it's the end times for coming to Jow Forums. Once Link moons, I'm out. I've already been cutting down on every other board, and only going to Jow Forums, and only participating in Link threads.
The problem is you are also right about Jow Forums filtering out into real life. Going and talking to family and friends, it's like talking to anons back in 2012. It's worrisome. A lot of this sites social movements in the last few years are actually fucking cancer and I don't want them to spread to real life. Fuck incels, nofap and all the marriage shills on here. If Link makes me enough money, I might buy Jow Forums just to make sure some of the fucking cancer gets stamped out.
Chase Torres
I wonder what we'll all do in later life having been through this. We're still young and have much to learn, but so much to tell too.
I feel like for many of us our childhoods were the last glimpses of the old world, before the brutal birth of the new.
Ethan Myers
The world started seaming strange for me after 2014 or so. Especially around mid 2015 or so. How about you user?
Joshua Perry
I've always loved this pasta. Thank you user
Lucas Price
>muh circlejerk Why is everybody so self-congratulatory all of the sudden? Usually indicates an influx of newfags who started to "get" this place for the first time after browsing a while.
Ayden White
after this Jow Forums is over. Gook moot is doing a really good job of fucking it up
Hudson Miller
Yeah late 2014 was when I started noticing the leaking too, but it was 2016 when we started leaking like the Titanic, especially Jow Forumsshit.
Whenever I got to a family gathering, my dad and uncles always catch up and debate about current politics. The last few years their arguments have devolved from their own argument points and jokes, to literally regurgitated Jow Forums memes. My dad was unironically getting triggered because someone called him a boomer on facebook and he went on a huge rant about how he's Gen X and gen X hate boomers as well, and he didn't understand why everyone kept calling him a boomer on facebook now. A few years back I remember them namedropping Lauren Southern and Milo Yianopolis and some other Jow Forums personalities, they both have never been to Jow Forums, just hearing this from their facebook groups, but the arguments, opinions, talking points it was a fucking carbon copy of your average Jow Forums thread. I sat and listened to them argue and it was weird seeing it happen in real life.
I am actually worried that even worse aspects of this website will leak into popular culture over the next few years.
Ian Jackson
AHAHAHAHA
Look at all this cope from faggots trying to justify how they spent 1000+ hours on a Nigerian winetasting board instead of going out and living life
Face it, you've wasted too much of your precious youth here and now you are trying to rationalize your actions. You're not some internet philosopher, you're a lazy fuck that fell for a cryptocurrency scam and you know it
Gabriel Morales
It's funny, I remember reading the same sentiment as this thread on /b/ in 2012
Ryder Scott
Yeah maybe. It's just a shame normies seem to do the same now. Maybe we'll all become healthy when it's the new counter culture.
Carter Lewis
I remember seeing Lauren Southern on the news here is Aus and having a conversation about her with my family. It just didn't feel right, like seperate realities were colliding. I think most of us didn't think of our experiences here as being in some way real.
Luke Baker

Bentley Wright
Shit I'm in Aus too, I knew Milo was in the news here, I didn't know Lauren was as well. Maybe that's why my dad was mentioning her to my uncle. We had the same thing, big family conversation about her, Trump, Milo, Jordan Peterson and such. I didn't really know what to make of it. I even brought up how weird it was at the time, mentioning to my dad that "hey dad do you know she used to do cosplay modeling on this website I've been visiting for years now, it's strange that she's related to politics now" and my dad actually got annoyed I mentioned that and thought I was delegitimizing her.
Aiden Hughes
How do I do an ACH deposit on Kraken? It's extremely unclear on the Kraken website how it is done.
There's only two options available, U.S. Domestic Wire and Signature Bank. Both are listed as Wire Transfer deposits. There's nothing about ACH other than the bit I highlighted which says "ACH is not supported".
So how exactly do I do an ACH deposit? Kraken claims ACH is now possible but then when I check deposit options it says ACH is not allowed. Which one is it?
It was so fucking weird hearing mainstream news talking about incels after Elliot Rodger did his thing. And Hillary Clinton talking about Pepe. Definitely, the internet is leaking into the real world. Not sure how I feel about it yet.

Australia seems to be at the centre of this for some reason. I feel like whatever this is it's strongest here. I'm also starting to think we're the best society in the world having been to the USA, though that might change once I get a chance to visit Europe.
Ayden Davis
>getting triggered because someone called him a boomer on facebook typical boomer
Dude so are YOU. you are in EVERY thread saying the EXACT same thing! >the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, while expecting different outcomes

Maybe its for the best, after all, would you really want things to stay the way they are now, especially if we can't have them the way they were before?

Get joocy rich with chainlink and then nuke israel. What a beautiful website.
Sebastian Peterson
Sometimes I feel isolated by the constant barrage of information, however the last time I went and had a few drinks at the bar the most norman seeming amerifats and school teachers were basically on the exact same page in terms of 1) cycles of history, and how we are due for a big "event" sometime in our life 2)US government is realistically engaged in multiple covert coups/powergrabs/scandals 3)media is a complete psyop 4)tech evolving faster than humans, partially responsible for collapse of family unit and depression/suicide rates 5)middle east / israel are due for a reckoning in terms of popular US support evaporating, troops should be on our border
Michael Gray
I think Australia is just USA lite. So all stuff relevant to America gets filtered down to us as well. I've been to Europe and I'd say they are either on par or better depending where you go. Never been to America myself but I'd like to go.
Ryder Davis

Can't wait for this offroad bicycling imageboard be filled with "How to run a node" and "Tips to get node running on AWS?" threads
Nathan Sanders
>And Hillary Clinton talking about Pepe
Yeah that was fucking strange, as well as that Richard Spencer guy trying to explain pepe in some press conference and wearing a pepe pin on his shirt.
Just out of this world. Imagine if in 5 years from now we have people talking about Pink Wojaks, Stinky Apu's and the Janny Dabber on the news during Sergey's ascent to the presidency.
Brayden Russell
>cycles of history, and how we are due for a big "event" sometime in our life Fabulous. Strap in for the golden bullrun
Noah Bennett
Holy fucking shit I am jealous of your reality. I live in Massachusetts and this literally happened 2 nights ago at a party:
>talking about trip to Birmingham, joke that I'll have to learn Arabic >fat girl asks why >tell her Birmingham I'd now a majority Muslim city >fat girl says "that's good" >"tell that to the victims, the rape rate has tripled it's been a huge disaster especially for women" >fat girl says "but...that's racist"
Crimes are not wrong to these people. Reporting a brown person's crime is what's wrong to them.
Liam Lee
this.fuck.
(Or we might be the most delusional fucktards ever.)
Bentley Ross
Yeah I've had the same here when going out and talking to new groups. Especially the big event and fake news, hell even at work I've heard people question the news and call it fake. The overton window has shifted so far, but the media no longer represents reality so one realizes just how far most of culture has shifted back. Last year some guy was trying to get me to join his discord, I had a look in there, and it was another Jow Forumsrip off political edgefest for young guys, and I remember him saying "Mate if you ever feel like you can't say what you really want too, get it off your chest in here, we're all redpilled" and it just struck me as so strange, and so fucking pointless, because all their talking points I saw were more mainstream than the media at this point. The amount of fucking Jow Forums drones I've run into in real life, they are not a minority at all. That's just a normal opinion yet they all think they are a persecuted minority.
The shift to extremism in modern culture on both sides really worries me as well.
Ian Brooks

Australia still has enough frontier to have a frontier culture. Granted, the outback's no Midwest as far as "nice to live in" but the point is that there's this nebulous space thats just there.

Jayden James
Fucking weird. Maybe all this SJW shit is contained to the USA. I can honestly say I've never met a SJW in real life outside of on a uni campus. Yet everyone still acts like they are a super majority and you never hear anyone say something offensive for fear of them. But break the ice just a little bit in conversation with them and let them know you aren't a moron, and everyone comes out of the woodworks with Jow Forumstier opinions.
If it wasn't for Jow Forumsacks actively browsing twitter, taking screenshots and posting them on other boards like /v/ and /tv/ in order to rile me up, I don't think I'd even know SJW's existed today. I'd know feminists existed, but not the SJW boogieman caricature.
Leo Harris
imagine whole Jow Forums scammed and eventually tron will be the best currency afterall
meanwhile link is dumping back to hell where it belongs kek youre all delusional
Carter Hernandez
>Maybe all this SJW shit is contained to the USA. I can honestly say I've never met a SJW in real life outside of on a uni campus. "SJW culture" almost totally a fabrication. My idiot friends who I know for a fucking fact have never ever even met a tranny have all these long winded rants about how trannies are forcing their pronouns on them. Like what the fuck Kevin how do you even know what a pronoun is.
Jordan Martinez
>LINK DUMPING TO $1.13 LMAO If you told me this 3 weeks ago I'd call you delusional for implying LINK would even break $0.60
Christopher Roberts
The biggest mistake that new nufags (2016 meme war vets) make is thinking they were the cause of, and not merely and effect of Trump's successful campaign. Trump would have won whether or not Jow Forums existed.
Austin Thompson
it's okay you're too stupid to understand link and have invest in shitcoins with no use case or partners :)
Who cares what fat cunts think user, why even bother talking to them? Placate them and move along. Yes, *pat pat*, very RACIST. >overton window Yes, I have started using these exact terms and am very happy to see people's eyes light up when I mention them. I don't think a lot of anons, especially those in the vidya/chan/porn cycle of isolation, realize that most men in USA outside of actual city centers would be more than happy to load up and forge a new destiny for the future of the nation. You may be right, as most Americans don't vote period, the silent majority is real and I think we can safely assume most of them aren't shitposting on Jow Forums every other day

Why did my post got deleted
Am i not allowed to hate on kikes and niggers here?
Fuck kikes and fuck niggers
Brody Carter
Yeah same. It's just outrage culture.
I think it's kept going because the media is reflecting the reality of an extreme minority of SJW's, causing the actual majority to think they are a minority, and feel like they need to shut up to keep safe, but also get frustrated over this and become even more extreme as a result and want to vent online or to people they can trust. Conversely, the retarded minority's now think they are the majority, and are loud and proud with their shit, making the problem even worse.

Kek at all of you. The Jow Forums Egregore has already been unleashed, first unto the greater internet and now, the real world itself. It cannot be stopped and you are all complicit. Judging by the comments you have been here far too long to leave for good. In fact, you will probably consider yourself lucky if Link triggers an eternal september that is powerful enough to nuke Jow Forums completely. Once you've acclimated to the memes and conversations available on this site, the sort of bullshit that you tolerated in the past just melts away. Even just the occasional intelligent comment on here is so far beyond that of 1,000 conversations held with NPC's that it keeps you coming back. Any attempt to re-insert yourself into society will backfire because society is nothing more than a filter. This is a filter on intelligence, speech, ideas, etc. all kept in an increasingly narrow compartment. Your attempts will conclude when you realize that sublimating yourself to this filter is what ultimately keeps you down. The most important goal you should have is to earn just enough so that you are financially independent. That is the gold standard for "making it" because once you are no longer a wageslave your true life can begin. Beyond that, money is just a multiplier. It can accelerate anything, whether that is building up your dreams or facilitating your own self-destruction. So many anons will daydream about their freedom but will be unprepared when they finally obtain it. Everything that has happened the past few years has been insane and it's only going to get more nonsensical before it gets better. Deep down you know this, you can feel it. In fact, everyone knows this on a subconscious level, which is why even conversations in real life are becoming more and more heated. Perhaps the final mission of the Chans will be to create a new world before the old one collapses entirely. After all, nothing is beyond our reach.
Spot on analysis. People like the other user itt that say "hurr they act like a persecuted minority" fail to understand that having right wing opinions will in fact get you persecuted and ostracized on most social media, eventhough you might have a pretty normal opinion.
Whenever I talk politics offline with strangers, they are a lot more understanding and generally don't talk much shit or try to intimidate me. Online however is a totally different story.
