Didn't drunkanon say that some of their predictions were moved or rescheduled after he posted them, indicating that the team is aware of leaks and changes their timelines in response to them?
In hindsight, drunkanon was right about both Tron and the chainlink market place. So I wonder if he was right about the team rescheduling things in response to leaks.
IF the team actually does reschedule and/or delay things after leaks, then two questions:
1. If there was a coinbase listing and it leaked, would the team attempt to reschedule it?
2. Would the team have known about the leak?
1., I think the answer is yes. Whatever the team delayed or cancelled before, I'm sure none of it was comparable in impact to coinbase. You don't delay a small announcement that leaked but then let coinbase leak if you can stop it. It would be a much more impactful leak than anything from before.
2. Would the team have noticed? I think so. The token started pumping out of fucking nowhere. Why rush to buy up everything from $1.60 to $2.07 without any public reason? If there was a coinbase listing planned, this would have been an obvious red flag to the team. They wouldn't need someone to publicly post that it was coming- they could probably infer from the price and try to have the listing delayed.
This dump makes me wonder if the coinbase larp was real, because it would be consistent with insiders hoping to buy early and dump on newcomers after the listing, only to have the listing delayed so they get dumped on instead and panic sell, taking the price right back down.
Imagine if you didn't know shit about the project but your cousin at coinbase told you to buy as much as you can because it's gonna be listed, and then you hear the listing was delayed or cancelled... How long do you hold? Do you get worries and sell early? Imagine you fomo'd in at $2.00 because of the inside tip and then watch the price bleed out to $1.85 over the next week. Do you try to save what money you have left by selling?

Nobody?

Interesting but I don't really have anything to contribute Hoping for a listing soon

Interesting theory user. I can't really shoot any holes in it. We'll see. Coinbase had the Link icon in a blog post months ago. I'd be surprised if they don't list it. I've considered that maybe they are waiting for a more decentralized network to list. Ultimately, I don't know.

"Normal" traders would have a stop loss set. Not marines.

I think you're overestimating the importance of a coinbase listing. The fiat onramps have increased massively in recent times.
Honestly, I don't think the chainlink team would be at all concerned anyway. Link is clearly being targeted at institutions (ie - real money).
also, why would coinbase list a shitty json parser run by a big mac addicted 'philospher' and a team with no experience, who give speeches in empty room beside the toilet?
