It’s crazy to me the hoops that established crypto VC firms will jump through to pretend that Chainlink doesn’t exist They would rather gaslight you about how amazing commoditized chain #572965 is than acknowledge LINK It’s obvious why though Chainlink’s overwhelming market-share dominance and established platform approach nullify much of their early stage investments Chainlink is the ONLY unified, modular platform that offers: - Onchain data delivery - Cross-chain interoperability - Privacy-preserving compute - Automated compliance - Legacy system connectivity - Workflow orchestration A platform with 70%+ DeFi market-share (80%+ on Ethereum) and increasingly being adopted by the world’s largest financial institutions (Swift, DTCC, Mastercard, JP Morgan, UBS, SBI, ANZ, etc) Fundamentally, the crypto VC business model is buying tokens privately at extreme discounts, hyping retail up on a new narrative to inflate token value, and then dumping on retail post-TGE Which is fine if those tokens were tied to successful projects, but most are compete vaporware both tech and adoption wise, and ultimately made redundant by the Chainlink platform With Chainlink, you have no choice but to buy spot at the current market price, which to crypto VCs is antithetical to their entire playbook(Zach Rynes | CLG)
