The question we should all be asking though is how Sergey ended up as such a respected person in blockchain and got his startup with all of these organizations. SWIFT, Microsoft, and IC3, and Zeppelin are all literally confirmed, yet Sergey really doesn't have anything in his resume to suggest that this is a natural thing. Secure Asset Exchange seemed kind of like a middling dex, then he jumped to ethereum, with much fanfare. I suspect smartcontract.com was involved with some major players (obviously SWIFT) that we don't know about. He's been helping companies implement smart contracts for some time, and chainlink was an essential part of moving that forward or he wouldn't have wasted the last two years on it.
It's just odd. Whose dick did he have to suck to become so well respected. Assblaster may be a larp, but i don't think it's wrong that this isn't just two college buddies with an ICO. This is a corporate product through and through being cooked up by powerful people.
any contracts with those organizations? any confirmations from those organizations? no you fucken faggit nigger
Luis Thomas
Chainlink is vaporware of the highest order. I'm not sure why this meme got started but it's really pathetic at this point.
Adam Green
No because this is institutional, no hype, build first-maker later project retard.
If you cant see the connections you should air out your mom's basement, but i would rather suggest you to start considering killing yourself
Robert Thomas
Lmao. The fud is strong in here. Clearly some who haven't accumulated enough OP. My guess is that he had to have mad some decent fucking connections along the way. I mean he did work for first mark capital which is one of the leading VC firms in the US. That was his starting block. In this space I think if you have an absolutely remarkable idea, things can happen in your favor if you get it in front of the right people. Remember that vitalik simply provided his well written ethereum white paper to Joseph lupin which Kickstarted it all for the ethereum world. Years before that he was basically just a former bitcoin magazine writer and a university of waterloo student
Jackson Moore
*Joseph lupin. Apologies as I'm writing on my cell.
Kevin Peterson
you're seeing too many connections. ever notice how ripple and their affiliates announce partnerships and pilots? those are institutional you faggit and they sing out loud for everybody to hear. you're a delusional faggit connecting imaginary dots like a fucken autist at daycare.
Landon Nguyen
Fuck*Joseph lubin. You know who I meant kek
Kayden Anderson
what faggot types faggit instead of faggot? stop being such a massive fag.
Josiah Morris
Those connections are all valid. They are all tied into the project. The very fact that chainlink hasn't been heavily marketed could be due to the fact that the team does not want to be under the guise of the sec and be seen as some sort of securities utility token. This is not fud but a reasonable conjecture especially when they have everything to gain as they are working with multiple institutional players. Ripple fucked up big time. Their xrp token is quite literally a security and you'd be dumb to think otherwise.
Hudson Watson
(((you))) are an immense FAGGOT/FAGGIT/FAGGUT/FAG you're a homosexual and your entire existence revolves around blowing aids infested nigger dicks so you can buy more LINK. get fuct nigger face pajeet.
Joseph Gonzalez
Also another reason why coinbase wants nothing to do with the ripple token even if they would make billions off of future transactions. They have tons of money on the line and don't want to ruin it by getting fucked in the ass by the SEC
Nathaniel Sanders
>connections are valid keep reaching nigger. you autistic twats thought that Tom Gosner was connected a few days ago because he tweeted a shit post about LINK. sorry nigger. nobody wants your bags
Evan Brooks
Protip: you might sound more convincing if you keep your emotions in check bud
Jason Martin
Yea I agree, Sergey is playing the super long game and is undoubtedly an insider who probably knows what regulations may be coming. LINK will be the first true utility token and any sort of hype shilling completely destroys that for Sergey. But once the product is launched it can be promoted objectively as a utility.
Matthew Rivera
>Protip: you might sound more convincing if you keep your emotions in check bud Protip: you might sound more convincing if you stated facts instead of blind assumptions
Wyatt Stewart
every once in a while there is a person who is just really that good
Nicholas James
b-but, coinbase applied for a securities license, user.
And how did Microsoft start out? Was Bill Gates some wildfully respected bussiness man before he started? Or Jobs? Zuck even?
Alexander Turner
Some times it's just luck and getting the room with the right person 1 time, and then the network grows from there.
You can tell you NEETs have no life experience thinking that it's impossible for someone to build a network really quickly.
Daniel Morgan
The illuminati killed Robin Williams as a blood sacrifice to the super moon.
Julian Jones
my own theory is that Sergey and Rory are the same person. Sergey transforms into Rory after a Big Mac bender and shaves to become his own PR person. after some insulin and a week in bed, he dons his usual attire along with some beard maintenance and goes back to plotting behind the scenes. while it seems tragic, there is a price to be paid for true genius.
Sergey didn't start with Smartcontracts tho, he was already handling hundreds of millions of dollars before, thats why (((they))) chose him to help build the standard for smart contracts. >the WEF namedrops them as the company that brings 10% of GDP on the blockchain
Interesting that you post this snippet of his background. I will give you autists some crumbs if you are down for some digging. Look into his experience and ties with second market. Who are they, who were they acquired by, and how does this relate to what he is trying to achieve.
This is true. It's his experience that led to his vetting by SWIFT. They didn't just invite any Joe Blow to sibos as you needed to meet some certain criteria to be considered an eligible candidate.
Daniel Reyes
to me its clear what Sergeys job is, he is networking and getting more companys on board. connections of this dude are already fucking insane.
Sibos was apparently one of the main events that they used to promote smart contracts, the POC was all about the bond market/selling/payout etc. all fast and automatic.
another event that many didn't look into is the recent Synchronize 2018. literally every attendee is in some way tied to smart contracts if you dig deep enough.
You have literally zero idea if anything you said is even remotely true. Talk about this being some big behind the scenes multi billion dollar project for corporations...give me it a rest buddy.
Robert Nguyen
you forgot the facebook and google partnerships too
Liam Powell
>handling hundreds of millions of dollars before, Enlighten me, what was his job handling all of this money? Hedge fund of the sort?
look up first mark capital and do some research on who they have funded in the past
Chase Myers
I've got 40k link and I know OP isn't 100% positive about all these connections. We'll only make it if speculation turns into reality which in most cases it doesn't.
Benjamin Ward
all the FUDDers on this thread are right. If even 20% of these partnerships were true, you would see Link between $1-5, yet its struggling to hold 0.50. Hell even Aeternity is doing 10x better than Link lol
>b-but whales are suppressing the price
the delusion is real
Angel Ward
when I googled them both I found this, any connection?
unfortunate to admit this but it is true. Difference between me and other Link holders is that I never assumed I found a golden ticket. I know this is a mega long shot with 10% chance of succeeding
alright the google patent is a dead end (wrong sergey, my bad) but this is what I found when looking into Second Market. They were bought by Nasdaq and rebranded.
Clearly Sergey Nazarov is the son of Satoshi Nakamoto. Possibly a non-person-entity, but to roll out The Oracle they needed a face to attend meetings. So the fattest son of the team of Nakamoto was chosen to be the face for the world.
>Chainlink is vaporware saying this just makes you look stupid
Chase Parker
Sergey was hand picked by Szabo, or should I say Satoshi. AB always said Swift recruited him, I believe that to be true.
Austin Hall
In Broward county!? That definitely means that the WikiLeaks insurance files are in the 4300 blocks
Leo Davis
It blows my mind because I know you guys are actually serious when you say >you'll fomo at $500 per link. I know you believe this because I've seen the bullshit about link taking over the API economy. Adoption doesn't work like that. Small companies will adopt first, sergey went over all of this besides. Then down the road in 3 years big companies will adopt. Link is a super mega long punt play and nothing more. You'll have to hold for 5 years.
Cooper Walker
its actually the other way around, first the big players get in and everyone else will fomo afterwards after witnessing how they make insane profits from smart contracts.
that is not how it works. either bait or your dumb either way not worth the time. go watch sergey youtube vids he says it 200 times.
Grayson Sullivan
>hold for a year until it's 15 dollars >hold another year until it's 60 dollars >hold 2 more years until it's 300 dollars I'm fine with this
Samuel Ward
the more I look into it, the more it looks like Sergey was actually directly part of the firstmark team that was working with Secondmarket, and secondmarket was actively involved in trying to move bitcoin into traditional investment vehicles like IRAs. Barry Silbert at Secondmarket also has connections to both SIBOS innotribe, which means this could very well have been how Sergey got picked up by SWIFT.
Does this larp continue? What else are we digging for? It's very interesting, but how does it relate to today beyond proving that sergey has a lot of connections?
this just basically reiterates the fact that he knows where the bricks must be laid to create this foundation for the smart contract revolution to happen. all these numbskulls who keep saying that he is a nobody who with a philsophy degree should kill themselves. his background at first mark is where he learned all of this.
Chase Gray
this user worded it more eloquently. thanks
Julian Evans
larp or not, I remember AB saying Sergey was vetted by SWIFT before they choose him to go forward with implementation of the POC. therefore, everything stated in this thread leads me to believe that he has or had all the connections in place and made to get him to where he was today.
William Ward
And Seconmarket spun off Genesis trading, a service for institutional and high net worth individual crypto trading. Perhaps this is where link will be made available to the institutions that are going to be using the network, because obviously they won't use binance.
Unironically I used to think like this, and Half my portfolio was LINK just because of the potential.
Today 100% of my portfolio is LINK not just because of the potential, but because it's clearly being kept under the radar on purpose.
Who knows maybe LINKies will be right and the price will 0 to 100 because that's exactly what big players have planned. Why else would whales and insiders never hire shills for LINK? For some reason they don't want regular people to touch it right now.
Kayden Adams
The acquisition coincides with the Nasdaq initiative to integrate Bitcoin technology into its private markets platform, by the end of the year. The Bitcoin integration is also an opportunity “to serve the equity needs of companies throughout their time in the private arena,” Siegel said.
Thomas Scott
>he doesn't know Sergey's one man team is there to throw off serious investors, just like the Jow Forums memes are used to make the project look like some stupid shit. It's all an act to keep adversarial institutional investors out while LINK sets up their decentralized network. This is the big problem for institutions with crypto: how do you make a decentralized system that your competitors can't profit from? Swift et al. figured it out: make it so weird that no other institutions will touch it while meme loving fucks (ie, not serious competitors) adopt it and start benchmarking, securing, and validating the network. When the real product is finally rolled out, the competitors can only buy in at extreme prices while you laugh all the way to the bank.
Think about it. You will realize this is the only rational strategy for companies wanting to release a decentralized network.
Gavin Gomez
I've literally heard sergey say that smaller companies will adopt first because it's less costly to do so and they have more of a reason to try and find a competitive advantage.

Digital Currency Group was formed when two businesses built under the SecondMarket parent company – Genesis Global Trading, a bitcoin OTC trading firm, and Grayscale Investments, a digital currency asset management firm that manages the publicly traded Bitcoin Investment Trust (Symbol: GBTC) – were combined with seed investments founder Barry Silbert had made in the bitcoin and blockchain space.
In 2016 DCG partnered with Amazon Web Services to create a laboratory environment allowing companies to experiment with blockchain technologies.[2]
Asher Lee
One of the most cockeyed theories I've heard yet.
Asher Baker
also coinDesk & Grayscale are subsidiaries of Digital Currency Group
Dominic Peterson
makes sense though. sometimes being this autistic helps.
Juan Garcia
i highly expect link would be storming along with or without biz memes. it's only effect is to give the team something to laugh at on coffee breaks or when taking a huge fast-food induced shits.
That's a little out there, I doubt they have anything to do with it being picked up by Jow Forums, but there's definitely something to them allowing Sergey to have an ICO at all.
I feel like it's more of a good PR move than anything. They sold 90% of the tokens to undisclosed presale buyers then did nothing to promote it and actively went silent. Rory is probably only really there to keep people from going rogue and fucking with it. Then they get to say it's this decentralized protocol, look at how good and innovative we are.
Elijah Peterson
See this is where you take things just a tad bit far. This doesn't mean anything significant enough to warrant investing $20,000 USD into LINK.
Adrian Nelson
Good shit. Make a new thread about your new larp vague findings.
