That they've been faking it til they made it. Everything leading up to SmartCon hints at there being more fluff than substance. The mixing in well known companies into their speaker list, despite it being subsidiaries for companies like SAP and Samsung, the lack of any product launches in 2022, the absolute radio silence from Steve Ellis, Ari and DIEM hires the entire year
They either figured out CCIP and it launches at SC22 or they sneak out the exit while ETH2 takes all the spotlight. The timing is interesting, as well as the rumor that Eric takes over as CEO. Either way, that January 1st video will live in infamy for the Hamburglar
>If SmartCon ends up being a let down, we'll have our confirmation the last two shartcons weren't confirmation? they had swift come up and say they had no plans to use blockchain technology.

It will be a philosophical circle jerk, and nothing more. Piss poor node operators are not going to buy and stake millions of link and lock them forever. Nothing will change.

I read what you wrote, every word. But I'm not selling any Chainlink. Not before SmartCon, not during SmartCon and not after SmartCon. I'm not selling if it dumps to $0.10, and I'm not selling if it moons to $100. How does that make you FEEL?
Brayden Parker
I feel sorry for you. Your ego got in the way of massive profits and you've been bleeding sats/eth ever since exactly 2 summers ago
This is why I say this one is it. They lost a lot of credibility with the first two SC but they were virtual and were given leeway because of the pandemic and a delay to ISO20022. Now, with charging over $1000 for tickets, the Big Mac cringe outreach, and the lack of any updates since Sergey's January 1st video, having a big event like this end in nothing will destroy their remaining credibility.
Tweeting daily about Binance shitcoin casino integrations has already eroded their image enough, but not having any institutions jump in makes it even worse.
Alexander Torres
thanks OP, what should we invest in then? I'm so fucken sick of waging and need a way out frendo
Eli Richardson
I would pile into ETH and AVAX right now
Easton Ramirez
I feel more sorry for you, for thinking about me so much.
And then all the link marines aka XRP army 2.0 comes up w moarrrr breadkrumbbbzz. Fucking losers

No but it sounds like you're attempting to project

Checked. Bullish on fudders that /thread and then continue seething for half a dozen posts straight afterward lmao

What's this low level fud?
The switch to ETH2 with the merge is extremely complex and risky. It doesn't make sense to increase your risk on two different systems when you can wait a few month to launch on the second system and not have to deal with the first and the risk of the transition.
The announcement was made in January because the plan was to release the features in May after the merge. Unfortunately the delay of this merge caused the delay of the Chainlink feature releases.
Additionally some of the staking income comes from ETH2 changing its model to move some of their MEV to validators which will indirectly flow to Chainlink. Other changes include a partner growth program, and being funded as a public good by the ETH infrastructure and getting special public good priority and cheaper ETH lanes for reduced fees. The other part is the reliance of the L2 chains on the merged ETH version to reduce the risk associated with MEV.
And don't forget that Nexo is insolvent after shorting the bottom a second time.
Samuel Lee
You hold a lot of Link but I hope you lose the rest of it. You don't deserve to make it. Thought you should know.
Jayden Powell
Is this what you would do or what you have done? I'll pile into these two if you show your trades from link to ETH/AVAX or just whatever your stack size is for these two coins, PLEASE I can't trust people on here after all the fucken LARPS, there's so much fud and shills for link it's hard to know what's what
David Baker
Thanks user, that karma will come back for you

Bro you’re just speculating with muh crumbs like every fucking retard here and it never, ever ends up happening. How much more waiting and bullshit do we have to put up with? Why can’t Chainlink themselves be even a LITTLE bit transparent with where they’re at? It’s fucking September soon and we’ve got NOTHING. Honestly getting so sick of their bullshit. And I’m very confident SmartCon is just going to be some circle jerk bullshit around everyone’s aspirations around what they COULD be or WANT to be doing.
