I started this account in 2017 weeks after $LINK's ICO because I was excited. Excited because I knew beyond doubt
#Chainlink
would become a critical piece of blockchain infrastructure.
Today this account reached 40k followers. Thank you so much for being excited with me. ❤️
I'm pleased to announce that this channel is now part of the official
#Chainlink
ambassadors program. Looking forward to assisting the community and team in any way possible!

Absolutely huge. Anyone up for being able to cash out $eth directly to your

This is what
#chainlink
does. It connects the existing internet infrastructure to

#Chainlink
is a protocol that was designed to evolve. Each part of the architecture is able to be replaced or upgraded as new tech or oracle designs are implemented. This is just the beginning of what lies ahead. Whitepaper 2.0 is on its way and I can't wait to see what's next.
#Chainlink
is entering the next phase of building out a start up. It took 3 years to go from 2-50 employees. It'll take far less to go from 50-500. I believe last night's production use $LINK oracles by
@Everipedia
and the
@AP
in the US election will be an inflection point.

Day 1 of
#SmartCon

@Chainlink
team putting this thing together. If you aren't excited about the future that
#Chainlink
is helping to build....you have no pulse.
Want some hopium? Take a look at the talent that
#Chainlink
has collected on Linkedin. Amazon, Nasa, paypal are all there. Universities: Harvard, Columbia, Berkeley, MIT amongst an array of it other prestigious institution. Strictly the best & brightest.
#Chainlink
is a protocol not a product or a company. When we LINKMarines talk about a standard we're talking about just that. The standard oracle protocol connecting all contracts & Dapps on all blockchains to the off-chain world.
That's the goal. That's the tweet.
👀The

slide decks and we know that a PayPal external adapter for the oracle network already exists.
Top notch article by

This appears to be the first Chainlinked price feed supporting a traditional stock price.

"It seems to be a matter of time until
#Chainlink
integrates with every reputable
#DeFi
project, which in turn will make use of it token. This guarantees its foothold in the cryptocurrency ecosystem for possibly years to come."
Reminder: The most valuable data in the world is private and extremely costly to access. Some APIs cost thousands of dollars per month to subscribe. Those APIs require passwords.
#Chainlink
is the ONLY decentralized oracle that can access private APIs.
Off-Chain Reporting is now live on mainnet, marking a major scalability upgrade of Chainlink’s oracle network. OCR reduces on-chain gas costs by up to 90% & enables
#Chainlink
to bring 10x more data on-chain, accelerating
#DeFi
& smart contract innovation.
#Chainlink
is building what will become a ubiquitous protocol not a brand or product. The effort required to build something as ambitious as that is no small feat & requires decades of continuous development.
LINK is first & foremost a utility token. However, it is finite.
"The landing of
#Chainlink
’s decentralized oracles in the traditional banking sector would be the final consecration of the idea’s goodness in regards to entrusting the collection and publication of important data to instruments not controlled by anyone. "
"By utterly transforming our institutions of 1) finance 2) data & 3) law,
#Chainlink
smart contracts will transfer many trillions of dollars into the hands of everyday people."
#Chainlink
is not a
#Cryptocurrency
. It is not meant to be "spent" anywhere yet it has value. $LINK tokens are required to use the an oracle on the network. That $LINK is paid to the nodes that process your transaction & serves as incentive for providing access to data.

I think we'll see this out of
@Grayscale
in the future as well. Just more indicators that
#Chainlink
is a true standard emerging in the market.

One of the benefits of being a senior account in the
#chainlink
community is sometimes people working in the
#blockchain
industry reach out to me privately.
Being a
#chainlink
ambassador also gives me a communications channel with the team.
The likelihood of
#chainlink
ever being ruled a security has dropped to near zero.

"The price action matches between 2017 Ethereum and 2020 Chainlink almost perfectly."
Imagine Ethereum is Windows computer & Avalanche is a Macintosh. Both of them are amazing tools but they don't become super useful until they are connected to a network (The Internet).
#Chainlink
is the network that bridges the gap so you can get useful data on both systems.
China's BSN will use
#chainlink
.
"there are facilities for interaction with non-blockchain external systems. For these capabilities they have partnered with external solutions like
#Cosmos
and
#Chainlink
."
#Chainlink
has a dedicated globally distributed team of 50+ people working every single day to grow & secure the protocol. That team is continuing to grow rapidly. I can't think of many other protocols that can say the same. This is what scaling looks like.
