Big statement from Chainlink founder @SergeyNazarov 👏
#chainlink offers $6/ a share for LINK.
$link token doesn't move on the news.
LINK fills gap on the offer and wicks into the $9 range before cooling off.
3 weeks later the rebranding catches the eyes of those unlearned of the CL potential.
Volume increases for the stock and token.
LINK starts production of a printed sensor for Amazon shipping to track and trace products, damage, vehicle fleet, insurance and a wide range of similar offerings.
$200m contract for LINK. Stock 200% move on the daily then cools.
The $link token sees a 10% move on the day, gives back 7% the next day.
Fedex, DHL, UPS and others adopt this tech and becomes standard practice in the shipping business.
Another 100% move for LINK stock.
A 6% move for the $link token.
This becomes a standard for transportation and logistics.
It becomes a standard for envelopes too, creating a new market.
Stamps get an upgrade with this tech as well. Opening up a new collectable stamp market. The crypto market starts to nft these stamps.
Chainlink turns down an offer of $21/ share for LINK.
Everyone starts buying $link tokens.

A couple BIG TIME node operators are born.
Retail behind on the news and miss the move.
$link token trading over $100.
@saylor market buys $1.7B spot $link and locks it in a node operator position forever. Selling yield into #bitcoin as per Strategy.
Money markets fully onchain.
$link grinds to $1000/link.
Somehow 70% of retail traders take a loss on this multi year explosion of innovation and continous price discovery.
$link token falls into a $300-$500 price range during profit taking.
$link reclaims $1000, but retail still bitter on the price moves.
@SergeyNazarov on forbes as top 10 wealthiest billionaires.
@chainlink aquires google.
$link token barley moves.
Market sediment starts to mimic how it is today.
