CHAINLINK EARLY ADOPTERS

>HOW WERE YOU ABLE TO WITHSTAND THE ENDLESS FUD?
Bruh, we're the ones making the FUD.

Chainlink is stupid because you can just put supercomputes in every city

Just seemed pretty obvious that the next big thing wouldn't be "another blockchain" but rather the next step towards real world adoption of DLT, once you understand that DLTs can't communicate with external data and the necessity of decentralizing the oracles it just clicks. The rest was just a matter of seeing all the connections, like SWIFT and ic3, Gonser and the Accord law firms, digging up all the industry reports announcing plans towards enterprise smart contracts, the lack of viable competitors, recognizing the sheer professionalism of the team, understanding the tech and tokenomics, seeing crypto in general is an absolute joke and investors being ignorant idiots, etc. the rabbit hole of potential implications goes very deep and the first few months of research have been absolutely mind-blowing to me and made me utterly FUD-proof.

should i buy in now or wait for lower? i wanted to go all in at .80c but i thought it was going lower.

Is post sibos dump early adopter?

One of the earliest memories I have is in 2017, everyone saying req and link were going to be the future. I couldn't understand why anyone would buy req if it would be using link anyway.
>I went all in on link

>do we buy bitcoin at 1 dollar?
>do we buy ethereum at 1 dollar?

>YOUR EARLY MEMORIES OF THE PROJECT
Some dude posting the ICO address saying "send ETH here"

Can you imagine having went all in on req instead?

Sitting on over 100k. Just try to imagine my comfort. Average buy in is $0.42

based

I remember when the people in the presale pools were actually worried if they would ever get their link or if the whole thing was a scam hahah

My advice: NEVER FUCKING SELL!!!!

I'll never forget the meme with the guy playing the trombone in the street saying "My linkies stay super stinky. $1000 eoy." I laugh everytime I see that one. Wish I could find it

ICO buyer here. I still have no idea what link does but I can tell smart anons from pajeets thats why I have been holding this far.

Easy, I don’t trust other people’s opinions and I did my own research

Sometimes I think about the time you could get two link for the price of one req, then I look at req listed in my portfolio under link just to remind me of what could have been

Checked

Bought in around 22c. Didn’t have a good enough job to buy alot only have 4k link atm. Will try to get up to 10k (somehow) before it possibly takes off.

>WHAT ARE YOUR EARLY MEMORIES OF THE PROJECT?
i fell for the fud at first
>HOW WERE YOU ABLE TO WITHSTAND THE ENDLESS FUD?
i did "my own" research
WHAT KEPT YOU GOING?
im poor and this is my only way out. i refused to get a job. I dont want to interact with any other humans, 99% of them are terrible beings.
>WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO NEW LINK MARINES?
do the research so you know whats fud and whats not, no matter what happens, always keep a suicide stack of link because you never know whats going to happen in this clown world. remember a couple weeks ago someone sold 40 of their links for 10 grand each? honk honk

This user getts it By my autist estimation, we're midway through the "J" of Chainlink's price action which coincide's with the timeline of Donald Trump's presidency
>the last two years [2022-2024] spent watching LINK get integrated globally like the internet

It all makes sense if you can imagine Trump's signature written on a 45 degree angle of steady economic growth and gains befitting of the 45th president of these United States of Guns, Glory and Freedom.

I was at this gay club and everyone was talking about their favourite coin called ChainLink, said it was the official fag coin, so obviously I had to get some.

>btc transaction medium
>btc store of value
>btc 19k
>btc dies, no worldwide use
>eth next blockchain
>eth faster transaction medium
>eth ico platform
>eth dies, gets ddos by cats
>eth still no worldwide use case
>eth tokens see no future because non can provide decentralized dapps and non can be trusted
>eth token markets fills with 98% of trash scams
>Sergey shows up
>CL brings up the problem why no chain succeeds into becoming worldwide transaction medium
>CL says we will solve it
>CL goes dark
>CL decides to make audit on themselves
>CL makes oracles
>CL passes audits, gets recognition, even swift makes investigation into oracles and use case.
>CL is the key, no crypto projects had a solution to a problem they saw ahead.
0 blockchains had a future.
CL brought a solution and it's time to decide if you are willing to bet on it.
Future will be nasty, because after this long time, there is so many players you have to be a Solid State Drive to know everything and where first use cases will hit the market.
I bet 100% on CL. My hands were metal at 1.5. This is just a beginning. You don't want to miss it by foolishly playing around with your 10-300% gains. This it nothing, it's just a piss in a pond.

What do you anons think of QNT? It looks very interesting and it's usecase compliments chainlink.

how much link do you think will be tied up in the nodes and non circulating? i'm sure they're going to keep a reserve to pay out with decreasing returns (in link not fiat) to the nodes, but what do you think it'll look like? 700 million locked in nodes and with partners, with sergey holding the remainder? Trading links will become incredibly scarce.

*on every city

Been on the ride for more than a year and this has been a real emotional roller coaster, I would advise nulinkers to lurk, lurk until you are convinced youre never selling.
Also enjoy the fucking rise cuz this is only the beginning

link is over

You just win.
Chain link for the past 2 years has been kept afloat on this board, lifted up on the shoulders of autists. It’s ran a guantlet of fud and came out the other side. Biz as a test bed for research and ideas is a rigorous Darwinian machine that only allows the strongest ideas to survive or endures. Link can’t be stopped

I accumulated between .20 and .50. The fud then was easy to dismiss because the shills had airtight arguments, and a lot of the fud was just memes about 2 man dev teams and backpacking trips to Thailand. I was a newfag to crypto, but it seemed likely that link was going to be worth more in the future. The real question is HOW much more will it be worth.

when nodes starts competing against each other it can become quite scarce.
It's the node competition that can make them scarce.
I can't actually comment on how many nodes there will be in the future and what demand will be. What job nodes will do and what collateral will be required.
It is great possibility that 50%+ of tokens can be locked in nodes by 2024 (if we assume success). I have to assume prices keeps rising it will become a burden to increase stacks for nodes. On other note, I don't know how many nodes world will require. This year is a baby step, next year, first use cases, next year economic forums and endless education on new standard, next year adoption, next year first something... next year govs demanding implementation, next year nodes firing up like fucking mushrooms after the rain. And where it brings us? node wars and great link holding buyout. Big fishes firing up nodes, buying up small holders to increase their stacks, locking down big amounts in the hand of few.
I feel Sergey is a good man and his holdings will be shared with a startups, companies, and all kind of institutions to draw them into this.
He will use his holdings to increase the size of the network.

T. original author of this post on biz on 2/9/19 and warms my heart to see that my post became a meme.

Every time i bought link, be it the local bottom or the tippety top of the newest pump i always ended up making money.
Just buy link if you want to make money. Buy the dump, never sell the pump.

my early memories of the project are drowned out by the sound of one thousand toilets flushing, in unison.
t. holding since pre-sibos 2017

Ah yes ON every city. Thank you for the correction

fuck off craig

Research

Even this asshole has been holding since ico, it's not that hard.

>Waiting for lower at 0.01% of realized value

nigga u dumb

Have no idea what it does I bought 1776 for $100 purely because of the memes popped them on my ledger with the rest of my shitcoins and forgot about them.
They are still there.

Honestly, I just think of it as if it's something you truly believe in just keep investing in it regardless. I look at all the other projects and nothing else really seems as promising, and I couldn't think of anything better to invest in then Link. I've been holding since ICO and know we probably still have a while to go, but hey good things take time.

...

Early memories were not getting involved in the pre-sale pools on Jow Forums because I thought they were all going to get overloaded and not be distributed as a result (I was wrong).
Looking through the whitepaper that was the first peer reviewed whitepaper in crypto which was bullish as fuck, and co-authored by Ari Juels whose talk at IC3 in 2016 was my introduction to smart contracts, it all seemed extremely promising, as much of a sure thing as I'd ever seen.
Then two months of radio silence from October to December 2017 where we all basically got facefucked with a 85% loss in sats, but still just holding, reading CryptoTakeoff's weekly updates on Jow Forums (which had very little information because there was simply nothing to go on) and waiting for something to change.
But the good thing about that absolute rekkage at the start of the project is that the first cut is really the deepest. After getting an 85% JUSTing every other dip has seemed pretty painless since then.
Early 2018 was when the argumentative superthreads came out and LINK really went through its baptism of fire. I remember seeing anons who were smarter and better informed than me getting in huge shill vs fud wars, and I soon realised the only way to actually figure out the truth was to figure it out myself. Watched every talk, read every piece of news that came out, went further into smart contracts in general.
The only way to become completely resilient to the FUD is to know more than the fudders. Getting justed as fuck helps resilience against market movements too.
How do I feel now? Amazing. Mainnet is out. They're now building on the actual functioning network. It's fucking awesome.

NEVER SELL

I fell for the Holy Trinity
Fortunately I only bought 3,000 REQ & QSP & 30,000 Link. And added to my Linkies since then - the other two are down 90% from my purchase price and I never sold - ugh! Fortunately I rode ICX most of the way up and flicked that into Link on the way. More good luck than good management - Kek willed it

Been here for all of it
Sold everything else, still all in

>desperation, the post

Chainlink Early Fudder here, glad for the anxiety I've been causing you and still causing. From the 2 man team to the centralization of the "mainnet" to the 65% supply owned by the team. I've been here all along. Have sex linkies.

>what are your earliest memories of the project?
Around Spring of 18 when everything was spiraling out of control I was all in on NEO. It had put my portfolio well into 6 figs in usd but I needed to jump ship quick. Got turned into Link by a friend. I think he was be ironic and I had seen countless threads anyway so I checked it out. This was right around the time of AssBlaster. Anyway I decided to go all in and the rest is history. Been holding a 200k+ Link stack ever since and have followed along every piece of fud, larp, and breadcrumb. I don’t want to say it’s consumed my life since I still lead a pretty regular one, but it definitely has made an impact. I’ve always said if I make it, like truly make it, and retire in the next few years, I’d want to scour the archives and put together an encyclopedia of all this info. There’s no one else for me to talk to about this except you guys and the discord trannies so I think it’d be a neat collection of data from this insane journey.

I don't remember when exactly I started to understand what chainlink could bring to the world. I just know I started buying as soon as it hit etherdelta and have been buying since. Never once did I fall for fud. Had a lot of shitcoins back in 2017 but sold everything for LINK in Jan 2018. Best choice of my life. I convinced one of my friends to go all in LINK and he thanks me to this day. The others tried the shitcoins casino and are justed beyond salvation. They have like 30$ in crypto now...I actually feel sorry for them about how retarded they are.

DELET

holy fucking shit I would actually think about necking myself if that happened to me

pretty much this...great summary user. Godspeed and ffs its never too late to start dollar cost averaging.

This is still the greatest thread in Chainlink history:

holy shit this, its so obvious

>I’d want to scour the archives and put together an encyclopedia of all this info.
I hope some of my posts from the last couple years make it in, user.

I'm a nulinker, everyone hates me and tried to keep me out Those are my fondest memories so far.

>Get $10k on Tuesday and was going to take out a $19k personal loan for more JNT, but this thread makes me want to get more link instead. FUCK

oh fuck
this is sad as fuck

It was a whale signal mate. Pax orderbook was pretty thin. He probably sold to himself considering this was literally 1 week before Sergey announced mainnet, it was an insider giving hints to get in. 40 Links sold at $9999, most likely to himself, and only spent 40k clearing out the orderbook to about $3.98 until it jumped to his $9999 buy order.

Buy BNT
Short LINK
LONG 100x TRON

What is happening with BNT? Is the Jewess still there? What chance of price action?
You're mad to short Link right now, even if you're not a Marine.
No idea re Tron - agree that it'll have it's time in the sun again - but Justin is too much of a shit

It's funny my friend introduced me to Robinhood and I knew this would be the best place for advise on it..

Every day as I scrolled looking for the general thread I would see so many link threads eventually I read them and got in back in January of last year

>kek. the day the mainnet rolls out will be Rorys greatest day. he can finally stop fucking blue balling us and it will be the end of the brainlet questions he has to deal with on an hourly basis

if only we could have known back then

man I will never understand the ways of whales

I lost 5k on jnt because I decided to walk away from crypto for a while so I would stop watching charts and constantly panic selling/buying, big fucking mistake
Hope that guy actually went with link instead.

He sold to me. Not himself... just fucking around since it had no rage when it got its 1:1 pairings.
