Why would ChainLink give away links below market value? At the end of the day they are business and their goal is to make money on top of their innovations. Idiotic to suggest otherwise.

Going back to sub $2.
Colton Jones
Why do i feel like I am in a meme?
Justin Cook
Who cares when btc still dictates the price of LINK?
Elijah Evans
Where's that imagepasta about LINK becoming the new https, partners with every world government and jesus descends from heaven to personally endorse the project and the price still can't break $0.20. Seems more applicable than ever here.
>conference >huge hype >announcement literally exceeds expectations by leaps and bounds >price dumps anyways because there wasn't an ORACLE X CHAINLINK slide in the presentation
and now bitcoin is right back to cucking us again. I had thought the hardest times were behind us but I am seriously getting my faith tested all over again, it's like I am in some sort of alternate reality where none of this groundbreaking news is reaching the outside world for some reason.

This is a fair question and it relates to the unique properties of getting a platform off the ground.
Once a platform is humming along then intertia is your friend -- everybody comes to your platform because everybody else is already there -- think twitter (or Jow Forums).
But in the early days intertia pushes against you. So you need to figure out a way to jumpstart adoption. One way to do this is to give your service away for free to early adopters. To illutrate: if you are a dating site, then early on you give away memberships for free, or, more specifically give away memberships to WOMEN for free. In the case of open table, they started out by providing TOOLS to restaurants to track seats. Only after they were established that way did they start moving in to offering their reservation service.
So, at first, chainlink will, I suspect give away link tokens to certain users in order to drive adoption.
>LINK becoming the new https Whoever told you this is retarded beyond belief
Henry Price
What did you think the 650m extra tokens were for?
Isaac Sanders
That's pretty much the whole point of the noncirculating supply. First to get the big corps in by giving them a discount, but also most likely to ensure that they won't market sell them either at any point.
So one key take away from this is there are people in moderately important positions browsing the board and very likely posting among us. Not really all that surprising but genuine larps are a very real possibility, most are just completely full of shit. Interesting time to be a marine

tell me about it, they don't even know what's coming.
