Don't give me the DYOR bullshit. Explain to me like I'm a lazy but pushy and skeptical boomer how or why the fucking hell a digital token is "meant for contracts, escrow, law, and just about anything else that can be linked through API." Break the whole thing down for me, and probably hundreds of other people who post here.
know what the sad part is? its usually really poor anons who post this kind of fud so they can "keep accumulating" putting in pennies from their mcdonald job, greedily wanting the price to remain low because they wish they had 20k to put in at once. One day all this fud will add up and you will wish you never posted it
Andrew Wood
Deluded linkies.
That said, I bought 200 LINK just in case. Probably getting exit scammed by Ser-gay but I would fucking hate to kms if it ever becomes that expensive.
Also, there's no way LINK could ever hope to become $1k, because why the fuck would a company spend so much money to use LINK when they could just make their own LINK copy or use the myriad of other LINK clones that will surely pop up if LINK is successful?
Asher Nguyen
why? I don't want you and "hundreds of other people" to buy. If you buy, link gets expensive and I want to buy more.
Ian Parker
he's a pajeet shill. Literally every fucking thread here that talks about a single coin or token is an echo chamber.
Gavin Bennett
This image tells you everything you need to know about link. No more research, reading white papers or whatever bs.
Samuel Ward
The token is like a ticket to ride a plane. The LINK token allows people to use the chainlink network. The decentralized network where smartcontracts are able to be securely paired off to external data. The security that the chainlink network allows theoretically allows for high value usage of smart contracts in remittances, derivatives markets, insurance contracts. The reason we are only seeing smart contracts utilised as token exchangers is because decentralized oracles do not exist and data is not secure enough to trust.
Xavier Butler
basically this is the direction crypto has been headed toward from the beginning.
It is the first movie of a potentially world changing sphere, and being in the right place and time, has partnerships under NDA with swift and major players.
It makes ripple look like a fucking joke. if we do ripples #s we'd already be worth $150 rn.
whatever led you here, you basically lucked into the next Ethereum
Daniel Brooks
20.000$ eoy
Anthony Anderson
>It's going to $1000/token minimum
Linkies are so fucking deluded Even more than ARKies
The DEVS THEMSELVES HAVE SAID THAT THERE IS NO POINT IN HAVING LINK COST MORE THAN A CUP OF COFFEE
It's going to maybe $3.50, tops. That's if it REALLY catches on, but I doubt it.
Ayden Foster
Once smartcontracts infiltrate derivative markets it’s over. Everyone knows this is inevitable. ChainLink is how those smartcontracts can talk to off-chain information. It’s perfect.
Asher Ward
Link puts me at a loss for words
Jackson Nelson
it is a bit annoying, but a lot of them think this is some pajeet shit that sounds too good to be true. they weren't around seeing ethereum go up 1000x, what happens when a first mover meets its time.
Jayden Rodriguez
Hhhmmm. Yummy new tasty FUD pasta!
omnomnomnomnom
Ian Campbell
Hey faggotron, user here that you screen capped. Don't expect other people to do your research.
As I warned you in the other thread don't buy into LINK. It's a Pajeet scam coin and it already got shadow forked and is useless.
Zachary Sullivan
this
Michael Phillips
I bought 5k LINK at $0.33 months ago and held them during the prolonged dip below that.
But I still have no fucking idea what it does. People toss buzzwords around. "Dude smart contracts lmao." Fuck off. What is the actual use of it for corporations? It's a currency. How is it more "secure" than USD or credit? What exactly is it replacing? Lawyers? Literally what?
Josiah James
He's right you know.
Alexander Powell
literally kill yourself
Justin Morales
Wait the major claim to fame for link is 'it connects to an api', holy fuck
Colton Price
You have no idea what you're talking about dumbfuck, go read a whitepaper for once before you make a fool of yourself. Nobody here has any obligation to spoon feed you, either figure it out yourself or fuck off; you don't contribute anything here.
Samuel Perez
OP do you know what the internet is?
Imagine carving up the entire value of the internet into only 1 billion pieces, and having the chance to buy those pieces for under $1.
That's what LINK is.
Leo Hernandez
MY DICK IS SO HARD
Joseph Thompson
holy fuck and they have the balls to call arkies deluded
Easton Rodriguez
i see why people hate link holders. Im tired of seeing these fucking threads. buy it or fuck off
Ryan Martinez
I am sorry that explaining something to another human being is very hard and threatening for you. I take it you majored in computer science. We will find a cure for autism one day.
Something tells me that is not right. I don;'t even know if you're joking or not.
Gabriel Hill
fags buy a coin and haven't even read the whitepaper
Tyler Bell
This is why people say DYOR, because you're asking too many disparate questions. Go read the whitepaper, go read an informational guide, literally do the smallest amount of research and you'll answer all of your questions.
Here's a sample: it allows dApps to connect to off-chain APIs and data fees.
If you don't see why this applies to corporations, what this means for blockchain development, and can't conjecture what the LINK token will be used for I can only assume the following: a) you literally have done no research b) you probably don't have the slightest idea what smart contracts are, what dApps are trying to do, and what all of these mean for disrupting legacy business c) you unironically deserve to be poor if you're FUDing a project that you invested in without doing the bare minimum amount of research
Jonathan Green
right there with you
Nolan Nguyen
he is right except its more like a utility of the internet, so it's like carving up http requests, or 'having a stake in electricity'. link's value is too abstract right now because its the very first of its kind so no one can wrap their head around it.
Dominic Gray
Nah it is right. I'm not even being all that metaphorical with it. Data is the new oil, and at this point its like LINK is the only oil rig manufacturer.
I'm a developer for a living, which helps weed out the genuinely interesting from the novelty science projects a bit. Blockchain tech and dApps are still such a new concept that its like we're being a chance to invest not just in apps, but in protocols that will go on to become standards. LINK is the only project aiming to solve the Oracle problem in a way that could feasibly go on to become the standard, and with the partnerships they have lined up (zeppelin_os, SWIFT, likely Docusign), it seems increasingly likely that they actually will go on to become the standard for getting data into and out of blockchains.
Think of Ethereum like a decentralized computer, but one without an internet connection. You can have your dumb CryptoKitty games on it, but most of its abilities are cut off without the ability to talk to other systems. LINK really does stand to become the internet for the dApp era.
Evan Morales
>It's a currency.
What the fuck.
Gavin Nguyen
Then why does it have 18 decimals?
Good try though.
Anthony Rodriguez
I actually did major in Computer Science because it has some real value unlike most other shit. Anyways, I can't be bothered to explain a thing to you because you haven't shown anyone that you're worth giving an explanation to, you clearly haven't bothered to do your own research about what Chainlink solves; you just want to be spoonfed like the chubby little baby you are. You don't deserve a slice of our pie, go buy ripple instead.
Jeremiah Collins
But you can store data on the blockchain already without link?? dapps are already working without link?
Angel Murphy
this realization hits me in wave; like when you're on shrooms and think for a few moments you've sobered up only to start seeing monkeys again and the ride continues. i'm not sure it's a possibility i can accept.
Jeremiah Richardson
Okay. Thank you for the real explanation.
This shit is way over my head. Two summers ago I dated a girl who was doing her masters in data science at University of Chicago and I never understood a thing she said. I understand "data" and "big data" and all that are exploding right now, but it's very difficult to understand as a layman what you guys are even talking about when you use the term "data," and how or why this is some new thing. And especially how something like ChainLink puts a price on it.
Isaiah Baker
I already said I own 5k link which i bought at $0.33.
Also I am not chubby.
Joshua Carter
Block size is limited, can only store so much data 'within' a 'coin', scarcity creates value
Gavin Jones
tfw there is already a crypto that deals with the derivatives market
Tyler Robinson
Sell me some on the next dump, I'll gladly take them off your hands. Maybe you could try and download some more brain cells online so you might be able to understand how fucking important it is that you hold onto those links you have.
Carter Torres

Ian Ward
LINKLARP is the highest form of PoMo art and entertainment on the whole of the internet.
Mason Wood
but why?
Owen Cox
I'm not selling.
My desire to understand LINK has nothing to do with what I'm doing with the investment.
Sometimes you computer science nerds have no idea what insufferable, self-important assholes you act like and then you wonder why you can't get laid. I majored in English and psychology and have never been such a condescending twat when someone asks me something about these things. You are truly a cruel and awful person. Have a nice night.
Henry Robinson
>why would companies use microsoft word when they can just make their word processor software?
Dominic Phillips
I'm starting to do research on mobious. Getting a bit worried. Not gonna lie.
Xavier Hall
More trust behind LINK Seriously you think anyone's going to use the Pajeetcoin Mobius
Isaiah Taylor
It solves the oracle problem
Zachary Nelson
OP the name is pretty self explanatory. Links blockchains together like how the internet links computers together. Pretty fuckin easy to understand.
Christian Hernandez
This is a good question Libreoffice does the same thing as Microsoft Office but is free
Christopher Edwards
can someone explain to a normie where I would find the cost savings in my contracts escrows and laws by using chainlink
Ryder Martinez
LINK is the ultimat pajeet coin.
You completely miss the purpose of this coin if you believe that it could ever eventually go every close to those prices. It couldn't be possible to use it at those price you damn retards.
Lucas Nguyen
There's 350million link tokens circulating with a total of 1billion, right? Can you guys name me one $5+ coin with 300 million+ circulating?
Colton Bailey
>making a token with one click is the same as writing 100k lines of code.
Mason Rodriguez
No, it does not do the same things. Have you ever properly used office?
Alexander Barnes
No not really Anytime I want to do anything advanced I just use LaTeX like someone with at least an eighth of a brain would

I wouldn't have acted the way I did towards you if you didn't say some of the dumbest shit I've ever heard in your original post, do your own research before making yourself look like an idiot. Also, I have no issues getting laid, your wife tastes fantastic; goodnight sweetheart.
Nathaniel Campbell
EOS and ICON.
Jaxon Bennett
This has been a good thread and I've learned nothing from it. Let's keep it going.
John Fisher
EOS, ICX.
Now what?
Jonathan Martin
You underestimate office. Latex is good, I use it too. But word has many many things under the hood. I'm sure that there are YouTube videos on the advanced stuff. It is worth knowing.
Benjamin Williams
i mean biz shilled omisego until link came along and its been nonstop shilling and it literally is the worst project even worse than pajeet scamcoins because they think it was going to be used by swift lol
Eli Robinson
It is silly because crypto relies on decentralized trust, if you run a centralized crypto you myswell deploy a traditional solution
Easton Nguyen
kind of like how nobody uses mac/dell and everyone is using eMachines and compaq?
Jose Howard

is that way brainlet.
Jaxson King
>LINK is not dividable. Forget about the 18 decimals >Costs to pay node operators is set in stone at 10 LINK
I'll just assume you're fucking around.
Luis Robinson
Good night is two words, I am not married, and you have no idea how semicolons work. Also paying backpage hookers to condom blowjobs doesn't count as "getting laid."
Xavier Turner
the majority of the tokens are going to be held by large node operators (corporations) so just consider them nonexistent. The price is going to go way up when the actual available supply starts shrinking
Parker Ross
Lol, spoken like a true fucking brainlet.
Microsoft Word is around the same price as its competitors. Difference is about 20% at most.
Now compare that with a $100 LINK vs $5 new competitor. It makes NO sense for a company to use LINK at that point. Also, the new guy will probably have more innovation as well.
Jack Cruz
The FUD in chainlink runs so deep man. Deeper than any coin I've ever seen.
Colton Ortiz
love chainlink
Aiden Smith
Go back to pleddit if you want to correct grammer, no one gives a shit here.

Are you fucking brainlet? Single token price doesn’t matter to companies unless they want set up the node

HAHAHHAHAH so fucking dumb.
Gavin Williams
Ah welcome. I see you have joined us. Have you set up your MEw yet to purchase your LINK? I would be happy to help you. Praise kek and his prophet Sergey! I think you will like it here user.
Ryan Morales
...
Anthony Fisher
There genuinely are a lot of brainlets who simply are incapable of understanding what LINK really does.
We had the same type of fucking brainlets last year who didn't understand what a smartcontract was, so for them it meant that Ethereum was shit.
Joseph Murphy
Microsoft and IBM are building their own oracles. No one's going to use Chainlink, but since it's the only oracle with a token you can trade on exchanges, it gets shilled daily.
Nathan Phillips
>Go back to pleddit if you want to correct grammer, no one gives a shit here. Back to krautchan I go then.
Shut up, faggot.
Alexander Hill
>Microsoft and IBM are building their own oracles.
Adrian Nelson
LibreOffice is completely free. Not a single company I've worked for uses it.
Also, you don't need LINK to host a node, its actually for micropaying reputable nodes.
Kayden Baker
jesus christ the brainlet memes are killing me
Jeremiah Rodriguez
LINK is only used by the node operators. End users of the smart contract oracle solutions never have to buy link lmao. It is solely used to pay people to run nodes in exchange for their processing power to confirm the contracts. This is the part that makes us rich. Centralised oracle solutions won't. LINK needs us as much as we need LINK. LINK is love, LINK is life.
Aiden Turner
A;m I ;us;ing my s;emicol;ons pr;oper;ly n;ow;? Regardless, you should do your own research before coming here and asking questions that let everyone know you're a brainlet.
Angel Stewart
So true, they thought if we have normal contracts why the fuck would we need a smart-contract. Or we can simply add smart-contracts to all cryptos because we can't possibly justify Etheruems price.
The pajeet in your screencap is delusional. ChainLink will not replace the entire derivatives market. But that doesn't mean it's useless. It definitely has a lot of potential to be something big. Having a decentralized network of oracles will vastly increase the real-world utility of smart contracts and the whole thing is going to boom for a bit when a new DApp-focused software stack is developed and every webdev hops in on the smart contract meme. Right now DApps are limited by their lack of ability to access any data that's not stored on the blockchain.
ChainLink will probably be a part of any decentralized software stack that's used in the mid-term. Whether something eventually comes along to replace it is anyone's guess but ChainLink has an advantage of being the first mover here. Look at Bitcoin, a totally useless and broken shitcoin but everyone still uses it because it came along first.
Nicholas Perry
Can you imagine the power of link + fct.
God fucking damnit it's so incredible that I almost don't care about the fact that I'm a sweaty, out-of-shape social outcast with nothing going for him (not larping).
Henry Richardson
im not even going to bother reading the replies to this one. i see 6 replies and i know youre getting fucked reemed by every single one of them. idiot.
