    someone was describing how to bridge over there and it sounds like a pain in the ass. I did stock up on FTM tokens though, maybe I'll move over when eth gas prices go down

    I bridged USDC today after I got the FTM and it only cost the ETH gas and was less than a minute.

    Personally I think the idol worship of him is more what this thread makes fun of than hating him.

    I sold and bought back at the same price (thank god). And I bought 2 extra ETH at 3200 as well. One was accidental though.

    That’s basically how I explain it, but then they ask well how does it do it. I just say it takes out a lot of the human checks and balances and speeds up the processes while cutting out unnecessary expenses.

    Most transactions / contracts are just a rule set that can be programmed without human intervention as long as you can trust the data.

    Hence why I’m such a Chainlink bull...gun to my head, had to put it all in one coin and minimize risk it would be LINK

    user15000 Well-Known Member

    Link is the least risky coin to you? On what time horizon?

    That’s a wild statement. As with most alts, I’ll be surprised if it exists in 5 years.

    By far the least risky, a bet on Chainlink is just a bet on Crypto as a sector. If you think Crypto will be successful, Link is the blue chip data provider for bringing off chain data on chain.

    BTC, ETH could all be replaced, but LINK is agnostic to coin and protocol

    Edit: time horizon is whatever you want it to be, it’s performance is already largely uncorrelated to BTC and all the large caps

    Data, smart contracts, decentralized oracles, abstraction layers, and other magical buzzwords.
    Safe to say I don’t think there is a world where btc and eth are “replaced” but Link is still chugging along. I’d entertain arguments that btc or eth are the least risky. And I’ll define risk as lost opportunity cost measured vs btc or eth. There is not a chance in hell that any predictive market would set link as a favorite to outperform either of those 2 over a 5-10+ period of time.

    Yeah I don’t think it will be the top performing coin, but I’m more confident it will be around in 10 years than I am BTC or ETH (for the record in confident both will still be around)

    They all have websites, and they’re mostly dope AF. Major VC’s involved in low cap projects. Actual rockstar teams.

    Then you get down into the real sleazy stuff on BSC where a new 12 year old becomes a millionaire off his $20/week allowance every 5 minutes.

    You’d have a lot of fun over here imo. It’s a bull run until it’s not

    I don’t think Elon did anything last night to kill doge. I also won’t celebrate people who bought it recently being down 30+%.

    Just seems like a classic “sell the news” event. I think it’s more shameful that the Winklevii sent out super positive Doge emails this week from Gemini encouraging people to buy it. I’m more convinced than ever that those dudes were just right time right place idiots.

    Problem was he hyped up his fan base all week like he was going to do something big. Shiba blew up because he tweeted a picture and everyone thought there was going to be a crypto skit. Instead they got one joke during the monologue and 60 seconds on Weekend Update. Like with everything he does, reality never matches the hype

    Looks like the huge Doge wallets didn't really sell much yesterday. That top one lost like $14 billion in value since yesterday
