@PhuocLe26@grassfdn Itโs embarrassing with how much work people put into keeping their devices on 24/7
I make more that this daily from staking rewards from other projects
Fundamentally, tokens are an incentive alignment mechanism
This is no different for $LINK
Unlike many crypto projects which have two competing sets of stakeholders (equity investors and token investors), Chainlink has just one: token holders
CLL employees donโt receive any company equity as part of their comp structure, but rather receive base comp in local currency and long-term incentives tied to $LINK
As a result, every individual at CLL helping build Chainlink has a direct financial incentive in seeing the token capture value from Chainlinkโs success, their financial outcome is tied to it
Personally, some of the largest $LINK whales I personally know work for CLL, the incentive alignment is strong
Yes, there are still challenges to overcome and improvements to be made, all feedback is heard loud and clear
But I wouldnโt mistake opacity and strategic risk aversion as a lack of economic alignment
@LUIZ000100k@grass@okx Yes, it would be helpful if we get a conversion rate so everyone can calculate approximate earnings.
Iโm hoping to have at least 3500 diamonds at the end of the season.
@brianeskow Entertainment. Watching people give their unwanted opinions on how he should spend his wealth rather than actually doing something themselves.
@African_K1ng Institutions are recognizing that AI will need a way to interact with payment rails. Blockchain tech makes this possible like never before.
Elon just created 4,400 millionaires in a single day.
400 of them are now worth over $100 million.
These aren't VCs. They're SpaceX employees, and the list includes welders, technicians, and cafeteria staff, because for two decades the company paid every level of the workforce in stock instead of higher salaries.
Juan Hernandez immigrated from Mexico and took a $28 an hour contractor welding job in 2015. He says he didn't even know what SpaceX was. The company gave him a $10,000 equity grant and let him buy more shares through payroll deductions. That stake is now worth $880,000.
Trevor Hise's parents wanted him to take a stable job at General Electric. He picked SpaceX instead, stayed 12 years, and accumulated over 100,000 shares. At the $135 listing price that's $13.5 million. He's 37 and semiretired. His words: "The magnitude of this has been ridiculous."
The most telling detail came before the listing. Over 100 employees quietly banded together and negotiated a group wealth management deal covering up to $5 billion, because none of them had ever needed a wealth manager before.
Software IPOs have minted millionaires for 30 years. This is the first one where the money went to the factory floor.
