LINK

LINK is looking like a bargain here. May actually consider it.

Prized-Man

Set up an alert for $2-3 LINK. Hopefully it gets there 😋😋

aerodeck

Which of these should i sell at a loss because they will never recover? - MATIC - LINK - DOT - SOL - ATOM - ADA - AVAX - CRO All of them? I'm so fucking depressed. Why did I do this?

milonuttigrain

Having sold LINK at $18 now I’m looking at it on the chart, trading at $7 and rank 25th Max pain probably dropped to $3

7101334

I don't invest in new coins really, I've lost money on ADA/LINK/ATOM/ALGO even before the recent crash. Even though I still believe in all of those except ADA. BTC/ETH/XMR for me

Megahert

Most likey all those are safe. I'm betting on BTC/ETH/ADA/CRO/LINK.

tldr; The largest ETH whales in existence are accumulating decentralized oracle network Chainlink (LINK) and a collection of decentralized finance (DeFi) altcoins as the crypto markets show signs of stability. The top 100 ETH whales are currently most interested in three stablecoins and over a half dozen altcoins. Chainlink ranks seventh on the list with the average buy-in of $990 for 130 LINK tokens. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.*

tojasma

Same advise I have offered to LINK and ICP maxis. Best to sell off such bags already as they may likely never recover from the crash.KOLnet is more of a viable investment for me at this point

synthesizednoise

LINK is only a utility token for reward payment. I believe in the project but not in the token.

jezusisthe1

Who still has faith in LINK? ✋

jwz9904

oh LINK, that top 10 coin, years ago.

Modern_Orange

My LINK and GRT bags have aged me dearly

Brandisco

The one that I felt most let down by was chainlink. Yeah sure, I may have lost more percentage wise on LRC, but LINK objectively has so much going for it that I bought a ton at $30-$40… and it completely let me down. I thought it was a comparatively sure thing. But it broke my heart.

willjmill3

LINK just seems like a glorified JSON parser to me

UBIQZ

Ah yes LINK, I’d like my $1000 back please 🤬

LINK

FetidGoochJuice

Gonna focus DCA on ALGO and LINK as I am down on them (and also would like more)

I_AM_MORE_BADASS

LINK always.

htbrdd4

I think VET, LINK, TRX AND ADA are the four coins that is looking juicy.

yeetboi_dangerous

Nice! Idk enough about ALGO and LINK to buy yet

20seh

I have all these as well! Order of %: ETH ADA DOT BTC ATOM. Also have ALGO and LINK.

Faze-Cumshot

Just enjoy your life and DCA into ETH BTC AVAX DOT LINK You will be fine

tb-reddit

I sold all my LINK a few weeks ago for that reason, it’s critical infrastructure. That doesn’t make it a growth coin. The tokenomics are against it appreciating. I used to buy just because I thought it was so important. That’s also why I don’t invest in power plants

SoySauceOnWhiteRice

LINK makes me sad. Hoping it will pull thru.

torvaman

they are clearly putting in the work...what should they be doing about price? pumping it with tweets? token burns? all that stuff foundations do for price is short term nonsense that doesnt add fundamental value. LINK isnt for retail buyers to buy and use, its for enterprise businesses. So why would they spend time marketing to people on r/cc with $218 in crypto when theyre product is clearly built to benefit multi billion dollar business. any project that tries to "help the price" is a red flag to me

dannyshalom

Why would institutions fight over LINK? Only 45 % of their total supply has been released. There are still over 500 BILLION LINK tokens waiting to be injected into the market.

poopymcpoppy12

BTC ETH LINK The holy crypto trinity.

nchapmn

does LINK actually need a token?

Brilliant_Ranger_543

Holding most because I'm at a deep loss and hoping against hope they will rise again. Buying ATOM, SCRT, JUNO, BNB, LINK, ALGO, AVAX, LRC (my biggest loss and biggest hope...) and IMX.

The_Tenshinhan

What have they done to my LINK 🤣

Brandbars

look what they did to my boy LINK

ShotCryptographer523

Nice stuff. Mine is very very similar apart from LTC and SOL, replace with LINK and MINA.

FredFrield

There are two type of the coins or you can say investment. One if safe one and that is BTC or ETH. But if you are willing to take some risk then DOT,ATOM,CRO,LINK,ALGO,NEAR,MOVR are the ones.

ShotCryptographer523

LINK and The Graph are crucial to the whole ecosystem as well. Chainlink also thrived in the last bear too. Keep that in mind. Can't see CRO surviving actually. I think they have lost trust with a lot of folks. FTT (FTX token) will be OK though when it comes to Exchanges.

Domtaka

Just went to maybe sell my LINK, looked at the value and just thought what is the point haha!

Hasage

This is always me, everytime I want to grab a bag I think about how disgruntled bag holders are. It's a decent project with a ton of support (on this sub at least) but most of the time LINK is allergic to pumping. *opinion*

3beeter

Some more LINK

jwz9904

buying LINK?

the_far_yard

LINK was one of the survivors from the 2018 bear market. Actually, they have done very well imo to hold up during those testing time.

#Chainlink Pro-Arguments Below is an argument written by FrogsDoBeCool which won 2nd place in the Chainlink Pro-Arguments topic for a prior [Cointest](/r/CointestOfficial/wiki/cointest_policy) round. > # Chainlink - Oracles, the thing no basic crypto investor understands > > Disclaimer: I own Chainlink, and believe it's a good project. > > * Chainlink is, confusing to say the least. It does a lot. Specifically with smart contracts. I really feel like I need to explain an oracle before I dig too deep in this. (it's okay, oracles are directly related to chainlink). > > # Oracles > > * Transactions when validated need to be sequential and agreed upon with every ledger? right? yes, but [smart contracts ruin that.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJfkNzyO7-U) (0:00-3:00, heavily referenced in oracle problem). Imagine you need to send $5 of eth to someone every minute, forever. great. cool. no. > * When we use an API in the smart contract to find the price of eth to send $5 to person A, we have to deal with the fact the price of ETH will changes, all the nodes that validate this one transaction take time to validate the transaction, therefore all the nodes validating said transaction will get a different result. Destroying the entire Ethereum network and making Vitalik cry. > * When we call transactions already validated to be checked again, the API used will be called again. So imagine sending $5 of eth to person A in 2017, which would be 0.5 eth at the time. But today 0.5 eth is worth like, $2000. So getting the history of all transactions.. can't happen. > * **How Oracles Solve this dilemma** > * Oracles in a sense connect historic data to current. They keep the data of API's, transactions, etc, so that they can bridge the differences in data and keep transactions able to be validated. For an easier explanation, they take the transaction, and bundle it, for all the nodes to get, to validate. > * **The Oracle problem** > * The reason many, many oracles have failed in the past is due to the [oracle problem](https://blog.chain.link/what-is-the-blockchain-oracle-problem/), in which we trade decentralization for well.. smart contracts to work. Because an Oracle keeps the data of all smart contract transactions to distribute to nodes to give one singular result, and the fact many oracles have used a single storage server, they're inherently centralized. It's similar to having a cryptocurrency being made on one node. > * [Centralization is not the only issue,](https://medium.com/@DelphiSystems/the-oracle-problem-856ccbdbd14f) Native blockchains cannot pull or push data onto off-chain data. This gives these networks security from hackers and vulnerabilities. Although, the world is kinda sexy with data, and apis, and oh my god. all the numbers. Smart contracts love numbers. > * How are these problems solved? Chainlink! > > # Chainlink, its use, purpose, and value > > * The actual coin, [Link](https://cryptonews.com/coins/chainlink/), is used similar to a gas payment, in which they use it to help validate transactions. It's been stated historically that Link as a coin is not needed at all, and is a useless coin.. But, nope, if that was true, then ethereum gas fees would be useless too. (while i wish gas fees were useless, they're not!) > * The more link a node has collected, [generally the more trusted it is](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2fg8qGWBYE), allowing it to get more data. This one key idea would make people think Chainlink is centralized, but instead, there's been a way to increase the speed of the network and validation of transactions, since the fastest nodes are also the ones with the most link. > * Chainlink works on several blockchains > * [External adaptors](https://docs.chain.link/docs/external-adapters/) allow smart contracts to be able to be used and validated on multiple blockchains, one of the earliest examples of attempting to bridge cryptocurrencies! > * External adaptors are also what chainlink use to bridge data from API's to the blockchain network in a decentralized way. > * **The Oracle Problem** > * Chainlink solves this issue efficiently, cleanly, and thankfully easy to explain. They basically built an entire blockchain on a blockchain just for smart contracts. > * [They have decentralized nodes](https://docs.chain.link/docs/running-a-chainlink-node/). The nodes collect data from API's, then validate them via specific oracles in each node, then is sent to the blockchain. Nodes are compensated in LINK coins for this work. They also receive data from the blockchain too to then send that data usually to API's. > * Real World Use > * Data feeds is the initial problem I basically introduced in this cointest, in that we cannot know the historic value of eth on an API that's ever changing. Chainlink, because of oracles, has solved this. Don't believe me? kinda hurts, but no matter. [Here's an example.](https://data.chain.link/) Data feeds are now a basic example of what Chainlink can do, and should be known as one of the first things chainlink and oracles, in general, were built to solve. > * the entire ethereum DeFi world is built on chainlink's protocols. Yeah, by the way, Ethereum is valued at 500 billion dollars. > * Chainlink is honestly, **the bridge to the internet** \- **to the blockchain**. It is one of the most useful projects that could ever be made in crypto, and it's one of the only decentralized oracle cryptos. > * Any data that can be scraped into an API can be put onto the blockchain now because of Chainlink. Bank information, financial statements.. you could even end up building an API on r/cc to scrape data, to host a website on web 3.0 using smart contracts, and by that nature, chainlink. > * Grayscale crypto etf's have a Chainlink trust, [specifically for chainlink!](https://grayscale.com/products/grayscale-chainlink-trust/?gclid=Cj0KCQiA4b2MBhD2ARIsAIrcB-RTNwh_LNWBoCGHuRRAbQYNuwpo095BoYlYF2xFPawJecHUBNYZgwwaAoqOEALw_wcB) > * Chainlink is used everywhere in most blockchains with smart contracts, because of its decentralized, ease of use, oracles. I'm grasping at straws just simply because Chainlink seems to solve specific issues that people would not encounter in daily cryptocurrency life, but Chainlink literally is the foundation of many things cryptocurrency. That's the key takeaway from this. > > ​ > > ​ > > some cool things i found: > > when looking over reddit, i found apparently the technical community manager vibing, explaining [oracles.](https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoTechnology/comments/81te2i/how_do_blockchainssmart_contracts_communicate/) back in 2018, when link was around $0.50.

Wonzky

Another day, more good news for LINK, yet price remains the same/drops

Domtaka

LINK has been the worst investment I’ve ever made lol. Even worse than LUNA

The_Tenshinhan

Damn I guess I’m a dumbass for buying. It was literally $10 worth of LINK I think I’ll be ok

The_Tenshinhan

I’ll keep buying LINK at these levels

ArtyHobo

LINK & DOT may suit that strategy, not sure the other 2 will survive that long tbh

Faze-Cumshot

$4 LINK $5 DOT $15 AVAX $25 SOL I'm buying these and not looking at my portfolio till 2024

Loose_Finding

If there's any question about how a coin gets 'x' info, the answer is always LINK.

duracellchipmunk

and LINK

Snowbattt

So were ARK, NEM, NEO, EOS, LUNA, VET, LINK, WTC, OMG, etc etc etc and look where that got them.

Impressive_Quote9696

Honestly i love LINK but the token is useless. They should be an oracle without the underlying token. Link token are hold by a few majorities and arent decentralized at all!

Omin_Jack

All I'm holding currently is LINK, LRC and IMX. Idk where they are going but I'm holding them 😆

maniacalBill23

This is the best time to take the entry into the LINK.

I_AM_MORE_BADASS

This is what I'm thinking. For now I'm buying up my fav alts that I think will survive winter. So far just Eth and LINK since the last dip. Lol

I_AM_MORE_BADASS

Bought 5 LINK today. Will again soon.

Modern_Orange

Top crypto advice: If people talk about how great a coin is on here, don't buy it. I learned that lesson the hard way with LINK.

branko7171

Instructions clear. Buy LINK.

Fivefinger_Delta

BTC, ETH, KSM, DOT, XRD. Flip-flopping on whether to keep my ALGO. Holding but not adding MATIC, LINK, ATOM, QNT.

nchapmn

What use case does the LINK token serve?

RossoneriEA

DOT, LINK, ATOM, ALGO, QNT, and ONE are the usual suspects.

RossoneriEA

LINK No other Oracle-related projects comes close to LINK. Alternatives that I know off are DIA and BAND.

iamjide91

Simple mate. I keep bagging my major altcoins. Some LINK, some DIA tokens every week till we bottom, eventually. Remember, you cannot know the very bottom, the same way you can not know the very top.

Dharmahuasca

Saw someone talking about LINK staking, is it coming out today?!

nchapmn

why are people so bullish on LINK? the LINK cryptocurrency serves no purpose lol

Huijausta

Would you mind mentioning the top competitors of LINK ?

420friendlyredbeard

Just bought $50 in LINK a few minutes ago. I’m fine with any pumps

Faze-Cumshot

LINK pump in 2 hours when staking is announced

Sideboard81

Mainly Bitcoin and Eth, but also a small amount of LINK and DOT for good measure

PathologicalUpvoter

LINK is a sad coin DOT is a chain so I think it may reclaim new ATHs I think DOT gets there first and LINK will get there when BTC has already doubled its ATH

HedgeFundsHateMe

I’d be more inclined to allocate more than 50% to LINK, simply because they are the leader BY FAR in the oracle space.

branko7171

50% LINK, 50% others?

HedgeFundsHateMe

I’ve had my eye on API3 for a while and will definitely pick up a small bag this bear market. My only fear is that LINK is too advanced for the smaller caps to catch up - their partnerships and team really speak for themselves

allstater2007

I don't follow Dot much but LINK is an incredible project. Once they get staking implemented I think we'll start to rise back up and eventually see ATH's.

Tommannerr

I DCA in LINK and ETH at the moment. 80% ETH 20% LINK. I believe link will be huge, also staking is coming to link

HedgeFundsHateMe

LINK is miles ahead of its competition though, so you really think smaller projects will be able to catch up?

pwnti

I would go with LINK as I think they will be needed for many upcoming projects and connections

ThucydidesButthurt

You’re forgetting the most important 2017 coin of them all LINK, which 4x’d its previous 2018 ATH before BTC halving even happened

ThucydidesButthurt

Yes; absolutely yes. Did it with LINK QNT and ETH last time and has worked out nicely; doing it again this time with LINK and ETH again and probably ROSE this time as well

10RealDeal10

What's the sentiment about LINK these days? Is it a good time to get in?

_Whit3

Need hopium for LINK please :((

lunargrover

Not sure, but ready to scoop up some LINK under $1.

KnackeredParrot

LINK team - please get me back up to where our sweet prince belongs (or higher).

CunningStunt_1

He's learning... LINK is a scam. Rumour has it schmit is only an advisor due to blackmail.

Woodpecker3453

>Who was fastest really doesnt matter much, except slowness is a common FUD topic against Cardano. I think Ethereum will be OK and they will coexist, to each its strengths. Completely agree. There will be an ecosystem of L1s like ETH, ADA, AVAX that are supported by L0s like LINK and DOT to some extent.
