The ascendancy of Chainlink on Jow Forums has been likened to the ascendancy of Trump on Jow Forums in past threads, but I'm beginning to notice even more similarities, specifically, Chainlink FUD on Jow Forums post simplified mainnet is beginning to remind me of the CTR attacks on Jow Forums after the primaries.
During the primaries there were tons of great Trump memes, the LARPs were entertaining / occasionally convincing, and the discussions were always interesting. However, once Trump won the primaries and the general election began, everything suddenly turned to shit. Every thread would get derailed, CTR would spam garbage, and overall it made the whole shitposting experience far less enjoyable. Inevitably and unsurprisingly, Trump of course won.
Ever since Chainlink's simplified mainnet went live I've noticed the same trend. Chainlink threads are constantly derailed, there's rampant FUD, and the quality of memes have taken a nose dive. You can't just have a discussion about Chainlink. Being here isn't fun anymore, it's a constant struggle to counter misinformation.
This push back against Chainlink on Jow Forums is happening for the same reason it happened to Trump on Jow Forums: we're clearly going to win. This is a final push to demoralize you and to get you to sell your bags.
Someone made up figures from the pivotal tracker and "calculated" that at the rate items are being completed/added we should expect mainnet to be out in 2019. It's effective because the figures are made up and it isn't saying that Chainlink will fail, just that you're going to have to wait another year (so you should probably sell).
However, if you actually go on the pivotal tracker they're clearly completing far more items per week than what was cited. OP cites five items on average per week, but it's actually more like 12-20 per week.

Where is the hurry ? You don't want the mainnet launched in a bear market.
The success of Chainlink isn't dependent on regular people buying it, it's dependent on large industries adopting it and staking their holdings on nodes. This won't happen until mainnet launch, so yes, I'd like it to happen sooner rather than later.
>haven't been on in a week Betcha go outside too huh faggot?

In the last month biz has completely collapsed into shit. None of the threads are funny or interesting. The shitty LINK threads are a symptom
Cooper Harris
CIA physop or by some other (((Them))) entity to get us to sell our linkies
Julian Bell
I hardly visit biz these days Hold a small stack of link, but at this point Im generally apathetic to crypto. I dont have the urge tp trade or buy. All the money Ive invested is already lost in my mind

We actually had a decent one today discussing token economics. Which I think is pretty good for this board.
Grayson Taylor
Spare me your diary entries, Rebecca.
Michael Hughes
Only took 3 months from alpha node to test node. They work very fast. Mainnet should be out before eoy 2018 at least.
are you new? literally all the fud is holders here fucking with each other to pass the time there are 100-250 total regular and semi regular bizraelis nobody cares about here
Levi Wright
Link?
Kevin Gomez
link it pls
Luke Watson
what link means for the smartcontract use case will be what brings about the next bull, so this is irrelevant
Asher Hernandez
Stop profiling me pajeet.
Angel Kelly
Simplest math - 125 pivotal tasks / 10 tasks a week = 12.5 weeks at best or 3 months for main net....that is if they don't add any new tasks to icebox
Which takes us to September - which several anons (and possibly Assblaster) indicated a while ago was a significant month. Whether the European Financial/Banking Directive thing PS2D-whatever plays a part in that I don't know, but that kicks off then too.
Jayden Sanchez
Agreed. The singularity will be good for everyone, even the stupid nolinkies.

I've already won. Many people will sell and continue to sell the longer they read the FUD that is constantly posted on here. Even if you don't visit here often or read these threads anymore, you still won't make it as your subconcious is back there telling you are poor and deserve to be as such.
But, I'm hear to tell you guys that if you can walk alongside your subconscious and persuade it that you are wealthy, you are financially abundant, you are affluent, you deserved your wealth, your oppurtunities. you deserved all of it and you are living with it for the rest of your life. You're subconscious will agree.
And where there is a willing conscious AND subconscious, there is reality.
This may not actually be FUD, the consensus and reputation systems the team wants to implement for ChainLink are pretty complex, and a lot of components haven't been done before. They might be able to pull it off this year, but Mainnet 2019 may be a reality :/
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!
Its not about accumulation at this point. Something is triggered in their brain that makes them want to FUD. Its a fetish. While they type out the most ridiculous, low-tier FUD with one hand, the other hand is slowly pulling at their small penis. They will spend hours doing this, continually bringing themselves to the edge numerous times. They are the textbook definition of basement dwelling NEETs, so they could do this for days on end, fueled only by Monster, and nobody will question where they are or what they are doing, because nobody loves them or cares about them.
They have gotten to the point that the FUD isn't even as good as it once was. They don't take the time to think hard about it anymore, because they just want to hurry up and post anything to make their little dicks hard.
Jackson Reyes
I remember Jow Forums in 2016. Images like this posted every hour on the hour, coordinated waves of slide threads - I distinctly remember when that Spirit Cooking video was first posted on Jow Forums, within an hour at least a dozen threads popped all saying "omg guys Spirit Cooking is just a shill red herring, stop looking into it you fucking idiots". Then there was that "You should just go to sleep..." shit.
That level of aggressive, undisguised psyops wasn't like anything I'd ever seen before - and the shill/fud psyops of Jow Forums is a joke in comparison.
ummm we're looking at a 100x here so shut the fuck up
Ethan Walker
>100x More FUD
Aiden Wright
A+
Robert Foster
this the sleepy shareblue/ctr shit was so much more obvious and in your face. the majority of fudders are link holders, fud is getting poor because they are all so bored and have been doing this for months now
Nicholas Sullivan
Glad to see this being used. This card was not chosen on accident
idk i never expected shit to happen in 2018 though. we went from 700 to 20k...i almost hope mainnet is in 2019 coinciding with a raging bull market. imho they should take their sweet time. i mean please because i got 30 thousand USD into link so id prefer they get it right and ignore you fucks.
Jace Collins
I've seen you before. I have 30k usd in link as well. We brothers.
Robert Smith
>the sleepy shareblue/ctr shit was so much more obvious and in your face.
Which is why the Chainlink FUD is that much more pernicious. CTR was easy to spot because they weren't from Jow Forums- they didn't "get it" and stuck out like sore thumbs as a result. They had to rely on sheer volume. People who FUD Chainlink understand it well (generally) and they blend in here, so it isn't easy to discern what is or isn't FUD if you haven't DYOR.
I agree the quality of FUD has dropped off significantly. Regardless, hearing over and over again that it's a failed project will have a demoralizing effect, even if you know it's nonsense.
Zachary Richardson
>HURR LINK 1000 EOY >HURR LINK IS THE MOST PROMISING COIN EVER ANYONE NOT PUTTING THEIR LIFE SAVINGS INTO IT IS A RETARD But yeah CTR trying to keep Jow Forums down.
Link is a shitcoin that outlived its five minute pump and dump fame. Now people like you preform crazy mental gymnastics trying to justify your bags. Just in this thread alone someone said they had 30 FUCKING THOUSAND in this. What the fuck is wrong with you retards?
Jordan Perez
They were right though, you were pretty tired.
Robert Thompson
God your life must be pathetic
Ayden Rogers
it was speculated to be so, but the team never gave a goal date. I'm a lot more optimistic now that I know they've been working in private repos which is why the number of commits has decreased and they've been working less on the pivotaltracker
Gavin Miller
>Just in this thread alone someone said they had 30 FUCKING THOUSAND in this.
you are poor
lmao teenage girl tier put down
Adam Barnes
I want to believe
Elijah Russell
>OP cites five items on average per week, but it's actually more like 12-20 per week. So when would this put the mainnet launch? I have a feeling it will be September
My guess is August-September based on the work that still needs to be done and the testing of it. Thanks to the testnet working, it appears as if the hard stuff is done and the main focus now will be front end UIs and some backend to clean it up. I also have no idea if any of this is true and I imagine Rory, Thomas, or Sergey will read this and chuckle at how wrong it is. I also get the github emails that provide updates and they’re constantly working on it. I would bet real money that the mainnet will at least be out before EOY, and all that 2019-2023 FUD is probably nonsense.
There are 117 items left on the tracker. I'm not sure at what rate items are being added but if you assume 15 items per week are completed that puts us at a little under two months until total completion from today, so the beginning of August. September would be a conservative bet if you're assuming more stuff is added along the way, but it isn't even clear that all 117 items will need to be completed to release mainnet so August is still a pretty good bet.
Of course this is just speculation and no one can say for certain, but nothing about progression on the pivotal tracker indicates a 2019 release.
Jeremiah Myers
This whole 2019 fud has been retarded. Am I imagining things or did the team not previously mention that Q3/4 is the target for mainnet?
Hudson Hall
Brilliant conclusion, you retard. Have you considered burning your money instead? 30 thousand is 30 thousand that could've literally doubled if not tripled with anything not fucking CHAIN LINK lmao.
Luke Morris
>hurrr some shitcoin mooned while you were holding LINK, thereby making LINK a bad investment
Alexander Brooks
>hurrr my shitcoin I'm holding that just keeps going down is a good investment because it isn't a shit coin like those other ones That's nice and all but LINK is a shit coin too. A shit coin with nothing to prove otherwise. You retards even think it having absolutely no marketing is some 54D chess.
Joseph Peterson
I don't recall them ever mentioning a target mainnet release. Sergey mentioned in the December announcement that they were planning on releasing the simplified Go implementation in Q1 2018 and from that a lot of people estimated Q3-4 mainnet.
Was this supposed to really make me think? Because it did.
John Rivera
you are a
MANIAC
Michael Russell
Its really great reading up on these threads. Its a sort of calmness that is unmatched in any other investment opportunity I've seen. I can remember Jow Forums 2+ years ago and I can say not even Ethereum really had this sort of serenity, because at the time the only thing we had to base a bull run off of was bitcoins climb to $1000. No other Alt had managed even a small percentage of bitcoins bull run so the FUD then seemed some what legitimate.
Link is really another beast. Those that believe in this tech and that really understand it know that the gem is really here. We all have a decent grasp on the direction of this market, we all know this is the strongest choice for an oracle provider. Its funny because people all around us in this game are looking for the next Ethereum, the next NEO, but us.... We just have our hands up saying "welp, this is it boys. Now we just have to wait."
Never have I seen something like this before. Remember these times user. Always remember what the sentiment of Link was like before it blew up. Crazy. Absolutely crazy.
Chainlink shilling is futile. The chainlink shilling has been the worst infestation on this board. The memes are unfunny and gross. I mean we seriously had a bunch of autists ejaculating to a magic sigil the other day. Chainlink is disgusting.
Carter Lee
Holding Chainlink feels like Christmas Eve night as a child. It's comfy but the feeling of anticipation is tremendous.
If this isn't pasta already it should be.
Nathan Gonzalez
I think part of the reason LINK has such a unique community, is that honestly its actually pretty hard to understand. Even supply chain coins are hard to explain in laymans terms. LINK is solving a philosophical problem in smartcontracts and blockchain. You have to explain the problem and then how LINK fixes it. The people that understand LINK communicate in memes and it all sounds like crazy talk to people around them. Once you realize what LINK does and how crucial it is not much legit fud exists.
Someone is into crypto and they hear about Jow Forums. They already have their portfolio into things they believe are great tech, like NANO or Vechain. They visit the threads about those coins and see people talking about how crypto needs instant transactions, RFID technology to bring physical objects onto the blockchain and they seemed even more enamored with their investments.
Then they keep seeing this blue cube as they refresh their page. First they just ignore it. Eventually they keep seeing all these threads about this blue cube and finally they decide to see what the hype is about and they click on the thread and view it.
Its filled with people spamming ridiculous memes, no talk in sight about the technology aspect of the platform, and people just replying ridiculous things like "1k EOY check these digits."
Now, it would actually be very very dumb for someone to see that and not instantly think "Wow, these people are retarded." So its only logical for them to come up with the conclusion that LINK investors are a cult and the community is cancer. But what they missed was months and months before this stage where the technicals were talked about constantly, the ideas went through a social Darwinism, and people argued and eventually agreed about smart contracts needing a network of decentralized oracles in order to properly facilitate large scale transactions.
They are just viewing that stage where LINK investors are bored out of their minds, spamming shit the pass the time, and FUDding for fun because they already went through the trouble of explaining everything about it. And to a person viewing just that aspect of it, we seem like absolutely crazy fucking schizos.
Lucas Ortiz
oh shit, i think im feeling it! that moment when all the states were turning red. i still dont know what link does, but im all in
i just bought 1k link, what can i expect 3 years from now?
Camden Perez
Nah there's more. At least 8-10k judging by the amount of LINK wallets
Christopher Young
realistically about 50,000 to 100k
Asher Baker
Price speculation is inherently worthless but if you plan on holding onto this token for 3 years I can promise you that you will not be disappointed.
Although faith in your investment cannot be brought onto you by some random user on Jow Forums, it can only come from you, you should without a doubt do yourself a big favor and: >research smart contracts >have a good understanding about the oracle problem that Ethereum smart contracts face >read up on chainlinks whitepaper >if chainlinks whitepaper bores you, watch videos on Sergey Nazarov talking about Chainlink.
Wyatt Hall
You're basically a link historian user
Grayson Rivera
I love this shit cause some absolute ridiculous trolly post comes up, and next thing you know people are citing it as fact. Every single time. It's like, everything is relevant, everything is connected, and we're creating our own stinky reality here. I love all the frens we have gathered together on this thin raft. We have constructed pyramids in honor of our escaping. This is the land where the pharaoh died
Jonathan Robinson
I'm in a mood to type tonight. Not sure what it is but every once in awhile I get into these moods when I have some free time browsing Jow Forums.
Jacob Carter
Ohh my sweet summer Rebecca, it's night's like these that make me glad to be your diary.

I bought in because everyone who is extremely bullish on it has exceptional grammar.
