Sup, Veeky Forums oldfag here. I was on this board in 2016 back when every thread here was shilling the latest pharma meme stock and bitcoin was a few hundred dollars. Back then there were only a handful of crypto threads at any one time and crypto traders were made fun of by the nocoiner majority. Well, you can see how that turned out.
I’m telling you, the way chainlink investors are viewed now is EXACTLY how bitcoiners were perceived circa mid 2016. This board is going to feel VERY disappointed when chainlink passes the $100 mark. Just like crypto took this board and the rest of the world by surprise last year, chainlink will do the same this year.
GET IN NOW or you will be regretting it for the rest of your life. Crypto is becoming saturated and there aren’t many 100x opportunities these days. This is one of the few left.
ive been bagholding 15k link for 5 months when do I get to fucking profit
Brandon Carter
I assume you got in to etherium when it was under a dollar
Cameron Morgan
Just keep larping, you’ll get there
Julian Parker

Dylan Wright
Wow you really gotta suck at crypto to have LINk bags at this point, its pretty much all profits for me.
Isaiah Adams
What the fuck? How am I larping you stupid fuck.
Carson Nelson
larping with my wallet photo i see. that's a bad pajeet, bad.
Isaiah Thompson
>only 18k
Justin Ortiz
did you buy the sibos ATH or what, retard

10/10 shill just dumped 5 paychecks worth into this
Hunter Scott
Not FUDing here, just interested.
Chainlink's value is based on anticipated profit from future transaction fees using their oracle network... market cap is 450M and only 35% of LINK are currently circulating. Let's round the numbers up and put total market cap when all are released at $1.1bn. How can LINK go 10, 50, or 100x its value based purely off future profits from transactions on other networks?
What percentage of transaction fees is LINK predicted to get? 5%? 10%? Let's say it's 10%, which is very generous, for the sake of convenience... If it goes 10x current market cap based off 10% fees from transactions that use its oracle network it would need to handle $110bn of transactions.
Not FUDing and I think it's great in theory, but is it really worth that much?
Matthew Nguyen
you're right. market sell all LINKs
James Harris
Look at how much the total crypto market cap has increased in the past year alone. We are at the ground floor right now of crypto. The years before were at the basement. It is very possible a $100 billion market cap could be achieved.
Justin Edwards
Seriously though..... how long will it take for LINK to process hundreds of billions in profits off smart contracts? Are there no alternatives that could replace it? Seems cool but unsustainable longterm imo.
Would like to hear why I'm wrong though
Angel Kelly
>BTC/ETH value is determined by tx fees
Also, if SC.com sell their tokens we all have bigger problems fundamentally so looking at the fully diluted number is incorrect IMO. Lastly, do not ignore the tokens will be subtracted from the goat by nodes and SC creators. SC creators will horde tokens as a hedge against appreciation.
Jaxson Garcia
Lmao
Nicholas Gutierrez
Not 100bn marketcap, 100bn in transactions fees. How long will it take for LINK to generate a billion in transaction fees? Especially considering they will take a small cut. How many smart contracts are needed?
No FUD. Just can't see why this is priced so highly.
Logan Bell
you're not wrong. market sell all LINKs. wasn't being sarcastic.
Easton Torres
If you're just trying to understand the volume of electronic transactions generally to an order of magnitude, it's in the quadrillions of dollars per year. According to this document from the US Treasury, SWIFT handles about $5 trillion per day, or given about 250 business days per year, about $1.25 quadrillion dollars a year.
Now that is not to say that we're going to see LINK even be relevant in even 5% of these transaction, but imagine that it found an important niche within SWIFT's system. Now imagine it finds its way into the insurance industry, where Capgemini is already forecasting smart contracts savings will be worth tens, if not hundreds of billions of dollars annually. Imagine how SC can be used in global shipping, bonds and stocks, derivatives, currency exchange etc. Not to mention how many crpyto projects are already looking at it as a necessary part of building their own infrastructure. There is no notable competitor in this space that has the same level of experience, progress, foresight or support as CL. It's a one horse race.
>how long will it take for LINK to process hundreds of billions in profits off smart contracts
If LINK is responsible for even 1 billion dollars of smart contracts in 2018, it will be one of the top 5 most successful crypto projects in existence if not the top. Almost nothing in crypto actually does anything right now. The currencies and not transacted for anything besides other cryptos, nearly ever utility token is not implemented in any way. The most 'productive' projects are development platforms where all they provide the base to produce more unproductive projects.
Jordan Scott
How large is the bond market? How many bonds are in existence? How many bond coupon payments are made per year? What was the SWIFT PoC about? What do SWIFT value above all else? Would they pay a premium in oracle fees to achieve this goal?
Anthony King

Node operators receive 1/312th of the tx fee Not even joking. One part of three hundred and twelve parts

>hurr durrr oldfag >hur durrr early adopter >muh Chainlink is the next Ethereum.
We don't need another Assblaster
Adam Moore
Just did some math, @ 1 trillion dollars a day, 1/312th of that would be 32,051,280 dollars in fees a day. Split between 20,000 nodes evenly would be $1602.5 a node a day. Say we only ever get 250 billion a day way down the road. Still $400 a day split between 20k nodes... Getting hard.
Kevin Reyes
Yeah, blockchain can benefit that field. But why Chainlink, rather than another oracle?
Even if they implement it, it all fundamentally comes down to: -number of transactions -cost of fees -LINK's cut -node operator's cut
Do you think the usage of smart contracts will outpace the rest of the blockchain tech in terms of growth?
You can do it using this referral ID and become a linky 10930552 you can do it >you can do it
Landon Mitchell
The idea is that more dapps like REQ and ZepplinOS will be using link for their contracts as well.
John Evans
Do some math at a realistic number... like $50 a day.. that's sergeys normal allowance for mcdonalds right
Levi Taylor
Nice, just bought 100k
Levi Perry
nice larp faggot, 2016 doesn't make you an old fag. and by 2016 etherum was being shilled here and crypto was already common. go suck a dick you lying pajeet
Bentley Phillips
You’re off by 2 orders of magnitude friendo
Benjamin Garcia

Jackson Walker
at least post a timeframe for your >$100 target or how about $5 mark?
William Foster
>2k Linkies
Will I make it?
Alexander Hill
Noob here. How do I do that?
Robert Gonzalez
Anyone with >1k will make it
Jace Ortiz
What does that even mean Why you post this?
Colton Taylor
Binance man
Jason Cox
>Do you think the usage of smart contracts will outpace the rest of the blockchain tech in terms of growth?
Considering that right now blockchain does fuck all useful right now, and that oracles can allow them to actually be useful in ways that are currently impossible. The answer in the next few years is obviously yes.
Lol $1T/312/20000 = $160256 per node per day
You can't even fud correctly
Joshua Miller
Thank you.
Adrian Stewart
HOLY KEK!
Great movie BTW!
Colton Gray
ayyy lmao
Brody Green
It’s 3.2 billion a day in fees not 32 million nigga what are you doing
Luke Ross
whats name of the movie?
Jacob James
how many stinky links do i need to operate a node?
Austin Rodriguez
Ok, fair enough.
I just think the volume required for LINK to warrant a significant price increase, outside of speculation, is insane... even if that can be said for a lot of crypto projects. Too reliant on external factors for me.
Ayden Garcia
Where is 312 coming from
Christopher Phillips
0 LINK will need to be put into escrow to receive oracle contracts but the amount to be escrowed with be subject to the free market
Aiden White
Korean WWII film. Not really historically accurate but a great watch.
Juan Baker
By the way, the tx fee isn't 1/312th of the total transaction like you seem to think it is Its 1/312th of the tx fee goes to the node operator
Hudson Adams
fuck. i hope 1.2k is enough. thats all i could get when it was at 15 cents
James Phillips
External factors? Do you realize how fucking stupid that sounds when the use case you are dealing with is fucking chainlink?
Adrian Long
I wanna buy some more but it seems so weird. 500 USD used to get me like 3k Link now I can only get like 400 :(
Brayden Collins
100% of the oracle fee goes to the node you mong
Jonathan Butler
>Do you think the usage of smart contracts will outpace the rest of the blockchain tech in terms of growth? what rest of the blockchain tech? smart contracts are literally the only way for blockchain to be useful in the future
Lincoln Nguyen
>$18k >15k Link
lol. bought at the recent ATH.
Brandon Sanchez
guise what should i buy for a few days gain to get more linkies in a few days?
linkpool.io/ If need be pooling will be an option.
Lucas Kelly
the community around this coin was exactly the same as before ETH ascended into the heavens. I didnt listen then, but i sure as fuck listened now.
Nolan Fisher
deus vult!

nolinkers are truly a sad bunch
Isaiah Robinson
nice, just sold 200k
Hunter Anderson
What's going on with it right now? Are we tanking boys? Still holding with iron hands but what the fuck senpai
Nicholas Cruz
Get to $85 a coin already FUCK
Colton Perry
ETH is soaring, people pulling out to catch to gain train. This is how you accumulate, my friend. These are the periods to be buying in. Dumbfucks chasing a 15%, you buy and gold for a 15,000%. No big deal.
Matthew Scott
I bought 672 more LINK at $1.19, I accumulated. I am now 100% in at 8672 LINK.
Isaiah Wright
what are y'alls thoughts on Stratis? looking to put my XRP gains somewhere to gain some more before buying more link.
Logan Nelson
FUCK FUCK FUCK i only have 120 linkies cuz im a poorfag, fuck i hate being poor
Juan King
Same.You guys r fucked up but usually right.How long do we hold LINK? Forever?
Nathaniel Jackson
Until you're in your coffin, and you hold it even after that.
Michael Adams
I have mostly ETH and Chainlink and I can't fucking decide when to stock up on Chainlink... ETH will not stop going up fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
Joshua Nguyen
Poorfag here. Managed to get 2k linkies after a shitcoin moon.
Will I make it?
Logan Morris
Realistically ETH will not moon at the rate that ChainLink will. I'd go 60/40 LINK/ETH
Ian Murphy
I've got 140...
Are we going to be worth anything at all? What will we miss out on with this volume? Can anyone tell me?
Brandon Edwards
So buy LINK now while it's dipping... I'm gonna do it. Thanks
Brody Davis
That's what I'm doing -- may not find cheaper LINK ever again.
Ryan James

if it goes to 100 dollars EOY you will be worth 14000. Use it to build your stack and buy more LINK

An open order. Playing the waiting game until your the price you asked is filled. It may go unfilled
