 figure I share this info with you to make it easy for even idiots or people who simply do not have time to understand why the hell so many god damn smart people are literally obsessive over chainlink. I unironically think Chainlink is a big deal and will continue to capture the attention and mindshare of the leading academics and blockchain/AI developers (and with that an emergent ecosystem fueled by VC $$$):

The core value proposition of Chainlink can be summarized with a single word: Synergy.

Each new project making an announcement that their leveraging Chainlink in some capacity becomes a multiplier on the existing value of Chainlink, resulting in exponential, rather than linear gains, for every new project can integrate with the others (and borrow intellectual capital inherently incentivized by the immediate thought leadership opportunities gained by introduction a NEW innovation to the emergent ecosystem at its earliest stages--think bitcoin/ethereum pre-MSM media advertainment. Similarly every time any one of the above mentioned projects gains a new user or somehow grows in size, it ripples through the list and positively effects every other project in one way or another. Another huge advantage is that all of the integrations and synergies listed above require zero direct interaction or collaboration between the projects - it just emerges by itself due to the open source nature and streamlined standards currently being developed by the Wall Street Blockchain Alliance/Open Law/The Accord Project, DTCC, ASX, Microsoft in their white-label offering of Chainlink (DYOR), et al. Of course in most cases there is still direct collaboration between the projects in this early stage of the ecosystem, but it's still important to note that this isn't a requirement - this will become a huge advantage once the network starts to really scale.

The result of this inherent synergy is an unbeatable network effect in accordance with Metcalfe's law. Every time a VC/banker/investor asks me which blockchain projects are interesting to look at in the industry, I tell them the same thing: Chainlink has already won. It has reached critical mass and become what can best be described as an unstoppable, ever-growing snowball. Let's not even think about the more advanced use-cases Chainlink can provide to enterprise-level institutional clients.

I invite you to notice the recent in-roads they made with Google (there was even a Google Meetup a few days ago), their collaborations with OpenLaw, Oracle, Kaleido, Polkadot (founded by Gavin Wood, Co-Founder of Ethereum with Vitalik Buterin, et al.

Link is great indeed, but will this make it a $10 coin any soon? i don't think so.
Although it's solving already a real life problem with it's great partnership with google, the sad truth remains that crypto is the most volatile market & everything may take it down to the ground for no logical reason.

I keep seeing shitty coins that worth $1 while other great lockchains & projects worth less than $0.02 simply because they are not into the right exchanges & have 0 market makers.

I watched their live stream of the Google meetup and I was impressed with their progress. Hardly anyone knew of Chainlink last year around this time.

Probably yes. Crypto market is down for quite a period and the whales seems to be active buying the coins of their choice.
Chainlink is one of the hyped and still a popular token with a lot of involvement. When we would be having a crypto bull run, there would be a place for Chainlink.

Now that's completely different, which makes me wonder how much upside there realistically is left without the retail fomo crowd pumping prices to the moon. I would say that if I were to be an early bird, it's time to cash out.

This of course doesn't mean that it will not go up anymore. It's just what I would do in that scenario. Some times you just have to be happy with the profits that you made and take out a large chunk just to be on the safe side of the fence.

Chainlink had been ranking up this year which many of us must have noticed it on CMC. I tried checking it just when I learned its on the first 100 to see why people are buying it. Real world use is what it offers. I would really be buying more of it.

This is one of the news about this project and if you are folowing the ETH developing in Defi -  Breakthrough for DeFi: Chainlink and Synthetix enter into partnership (https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/breakthrough-for-defi-chainlink-and-synthetix-enter-into-partnership/)

I think its a positive prediction about ChainLink! but only time can tell when it happens, As we all know that cryptocurrency market is very weird in terms of price movement, high volatility rate because of its unusual fluctuation, that's why it can only rely on the Chainlink development strategies to spur demand that can drive the price of its token in the near future.

Project worth isn't calculated by a price of the 1 single coin. I don't know what one would accomplish by comparing them like that. LINK $ value doesn't have anything to do with the $ value of some random project with a smaller supply.

Yes, I see the Chainlink chart on Coinmarketcap, for a year, it has a good improvement. Chainlink will definitely be more like this year, it will improve the quality of its development, and maybe cooperation with large companies will have a positive impact in 2020. I still haven't invested in Chainlink because I want to see this process going forward.

LINK is one of the best altcoins in 2019. In 2019, LINK has had huge growth and helped many investors get profits, in addition trading LINK is also a very good choice. that in 2020 LINK will continue to surpass ATH, it's best to add Link to your investment list before it's too late

In 2019, the development was very good. In general, it was important that LINK was doing so well in this process when Bitcoin and the market were not going well. But to maintain this, they need to work hard and establish close relationships with their communities.

Chainlink is of course a good coin for long term hodl because it expands application possibilities of blockchain ttechnology. Chainlink also more cooperates with real life and real use cases through decentralized oracles.  8)

already crossed $10 USD mark and expected to cross $20 USD till end of 2020

It’s possible considering that DeFi hype will not gonna exhaust this year. Your source is possibly using fibonacci and elliot wave indicator that’s he come up to that price list. Chainlink is the leading DeFi project so that means that it is the most beneficial on this current DeFi hype. The explanation OP about the growth of LINK was very accurate. It’s good thing that I onboard on this project before it start to get upward phase.

Chainlink seems unstoppable. It has broke into the top 10 coins by marketcap and is on number 7 spot. It's total valuation even larger than Litecoin, Cardano or EOS. Don't know where this Defi craze would be taking us but interblockchain connectivity is still a new field to be conquered. We could expect a correction soon as the development and adoption is not going to boost as quick the price boosted.

I missed this thread which was created last year and i neglected the entire DeFi hype thinking of the tough memories i have in the past with all the hype we had in the ICO market but i made a big mistake and i was monitoring the Chainlink on the daily profit page on CMC for a long time and now it has crossed $10. Not confident to invest at this price but i missed this one, will be following the hype and will try my luck in the upcoming projects.

Chainlink and Tezos are the two coin tops mentioned a lot in the past few days due to the huge increase in prices. Although there hasn't been a lot of good news over the past few days but the price of the Link is still going strong, is this because the whales are fomo about it? Although the Link technology is very top notch, the price has gone up beyond the value it is giving to the market. Be careful when investing in Link, which can be a big trap for whales.

Not only for whales, I think traders who usually like to look for moments when ATH should also be a little cautious because I think if there is one bad news, this might make link a bit dump, and I think buying Link It's too late, but if the fomo partnership and DeFi continue, I think the target ATH link could be more than this.

Chainlink is a great coin and a great project whose price has been skyrocketting for the last year and half.
And it seems that now that the psychological 10$ barrier has been broken, the pump is only beginning with investors trusting it more and more.

Congratulations traders for achieving a >$13.5 price today for LINK. It's a huge achievement for us to see something growing insane while all other coins were red and were crashing since 2018 crash. LINK was the only coin to show stable growth and is now more than 100x from its lowest price of 1000 satoshi.

Even Chainlink is a great coin, you are too late. It has grown more than 750 times! So, I would like rather buy a coin that has this rally still in front of it and not behind it.
Look at undervalued coins, that are not mentioned in the crypto community so much. My two hidden gems are: PolkaDOT and DFinity.

Chainlink is great

Well, to be honest the thread starter was spot on and it is amazing to see how he spotted the right project and within months it has grew so well and already hit $10. This is what i like about forums and discussion boards like bitcointalk, you can easily get knowledge, critical analysis and wisdom being an active community member here.

Seeing that one of a new altcoins such as this Chainlink goes up is a very good indication that any altcoin can really be a potential coin to invest with and can give you an opportunity go gain and earn more. Hoping that it will go further higher and continue to bullish.

Link turned out to be crazy, 6th place in coinmarketcap, I would never have thought that it would fly so high, congratulations to all who believed in the project.

Link is truly one of the strongest coins in 2 years. this project created a lot of noise in the altcoin market. Now everyone is talking about this coin. I think that soon we will see Chainlink in the top 5

Since the OP posted this thread, the price has gone up more than 10 times. This is really a great growth for this altcoin, Link is really one of the best projects in this market and it is sure its price will continue to increase in the future.

when project keeps coming up in the cryptocurrency news when the sentiment is better, discussed on telegram groups, trending on twitter and having reddit discussion update, especially for development and relevance in trending technology in the space, It is likely to enjoy a good run of price pump. The price movement since the year begins is gradual which I prefer to those steep movement in short time. I just expect the team to keep the good work and retain the communities hope

What is so special about Chainlink? Or what makes it different from all the second tier altcoins currently circulating in the market? I have done a bit of research on this coin. And it looks like the only major use with Chainlink is for speculative trading. It went up by more than 50% today. But this rise is not matched with any real life increase in demand or acceptability. The spike was entirely due to speculation.

Nothing really but the issue here is not about the market it is providing, some people would argue what is special about Ethereum that the like of Tezos and other competitors can offer. The momentum behind chainlink is so strong now that people are predicting it to hit $100 this year, DEFI has also helped the hype but for me I won't bet against the market

Honestly I already don't know what we can expect from chainlink, I was bet that it will stop grow at 5 dollars or even will start fall but it continues to grow, I believe it shouldn't cost so much bu I didn't know what expect.

I really didn't expect LINK to reach new highs, this is amazing for me,
your research about Chainlink was really good, I appreciate this thread is really amazing

Link is one of the most impressive growth in altcoins in 2019 and 2020. However, investing in a coin with too high a rise is also risky, people are very susceptible to FOMO. Money is yours so be careful before deciding to invest.

Congrats to People that got to this post and took advantage of the Chainlink Am sure you are smiling now But even though I think Chainlink have shown its dominance and the things it can offer to the market Am very sure price will continue to rise toward the years end

As long as altcoin can bring something good for the investors and it will happen but we must know the capability of any project will be different and chainlink is chainlink, there will be another coin that can be the same like chainlink.

It's really is making some grounds already, even topping bitcoin as some point in the number of transactions. But then again, we have this fall recently, and if I'm not mistaken it suffered 20% declined. So that's something that we need to look for.

Why the sudden dump? Is there some kind of manipulation behind it since it is an altcoin? So there's still a lot of questions to be answered it. The good thing is that we are already in a bull-run. But make no mistakes about it, we really need to research first and not FOMO, just saying.

This coin has a very big potential and compared with the old platforms like EOS and ADA. LINK is much more solid and you can try to use the tech that has already created by the link team and you will know how it was getting very big demand

I am just surprised how I got so careless to miss the sight of such a great coin. It is the most successful DEFI with the largest hardcap now in the market and I see new whales also arriving as some are leaving which might see sequence of price pump and development in this era. I always feel any billion cap project can control the project to better direction if they can manage their fund very especially when the project does not have full release of circulating supply.

LINK is more than 15$ today and that's something no one saw coming since 2019, there is a lesson here mate, a project with this good quality will always bring surprises, many are too impatience and don't know how to hold for long time, I know it's not easy to hold but the best way to witness a life changing event in crypto space is holding coins

In 2019, Link's price is only 0.5 $ and no one can believe it will go up to 16 $ today. Obviously this market is unpredictable, so choose the top projects in this market and hold. I believe other altcoins will see similar growth in the future

One reason for LINK’s amazing rise is its growing mainstream awareness, entering the top 5 tokens in terms of market cap and an increasing attention in the online community. Despite the volatility if it maintains the same trajectory, link can be this cycles top performers.

I do not believe in the endless growth of this coin. I am very glad that the project has grown so much, but I also expect that soon the price of the coin will fall

chainlink become the TOP altcoins now, because this coin is the best defi type project
all of us know, if in this day the hype on defi is very huge right?
and one more good news coming, for people who trade this coin at kucoin
https://www.kucoin.com/news/en-chainlink-landing-surprise-trading-fee-30-off

Definitely, there hasn't been any coin with infinite growth. Whatever goes up will at a point return back to it's ground state. However, i still believe in the potential that this coin has got. Chainlink right from time has got so many big eyes on it. They saw what it kis made of and ran after it. Even if there will be a reduction in price, I do not see it going below top 10 again. It has got there and will continue to be there.

Yes there could high chances that the crypto could go ath. we do not know but this time it keeps getting high beating other strong crypto in the market in terms of market capitalization. This is rare thing to happen because other establish crypto had never shown anything like the sudden surge of increase in its rank base on coinmarketcap.com list or ranking. If that crypto development will going to continue then high chances that there could be ath. It coule happen not only to bitcoin but also to other crypto. I suspect eth will do the same.

It has already started to go to the bottom price again caused by the bearish market was happening with some major cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and ethereum. LINK is having a lot of potentials to go break another ATH and it can go back again to the top price. You must see that it's still in the green candle right now.

yes and there were people who knew about Chainlink in the last year but didn't invest in Chainlink (including myself), then who would have thought that now Chainlink is a successful project and is in the top 10 on coinmarketcap, so it makes me regret why I didn't invest in Chainlink from last year, but I am sure the price of Chainlink will continue to increases and it is never too late to invest in Chainlink, so when the price of Chainlink goes down then I will definitely buy it for a long term investment.

Yep, thing is no one knows if a certain altcoin is going to go high or not. However I was kinda sure that Chainlink would go higher simply because of the activity of the team behind the project and the general idea and roadmap behind it. I have a feeling there'll be a new ATH very soon for this project and yep I'm invested in it.

It feels good reading this post today since you posted this in 2019, you underestimated Chainlink and today Chainlink worths more than 12$ per token, it's one of the best DeFi project today, I hope that those reading this will learn from this, a project with a rare use case like Chainlink will surely do better but year ago many criticised the project, today many are still buying at 12$

Yes, it can happen. A wide reason is that it has a good community and currently it is in upward momentum in terms of its market. I also bet this coin and I think that coin is a good asset in the future. Still, doing own research before investing in everything make a good sense enable you to get a desired result than just by reading lot of FOMO especially this time crypto market is good.
