I sold a sports card for $16k yesterday. I have mixed feelings. That card will continue to grow in value, it was a 1/1, and of my favorite player. I will likely never get it back. Hopefully I can outpace the growth of that card and trade this $16k into something more meaningful
@CaptToblerone So you have Eth in the 2600-2900 range near beginning of April but you have Link going to 6ish range at beginning of April. How can this be?
We're excited to announce the launch of the Chainlink Reserve, a new upgrade centered on the creation of a strategic onchain reserve of LINK tokens.

The Chainlink Reserve is designed to support the long-term growth and sustainability of the Chainlink Network by accumulating LINK tokens using offchain revenue from large enterprises that are adopting the Chainlink standard and from onchain service usage.
The Chainlink Reserve is being built up by using Payment Abstraction to convert offchain and onchain revenue into LINK, using a combination of Chainlink services and decentralized exchange infrastructure.
Demand for Chainlink has already created hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue, substantially from large enterprises that have paid offchain for access to the Chainlink Platform.
With increasing demand from a number of the world’s largest banking and capital markets institutions, this form of paying for the Chainlink standard is expected to grow into the future as the industry grows.
The Reserve has already accumulated over $1M worth of LINK from this early stage launch phase, which is expected to gradually grow in the coming months as more revenue is converted into LINK and placed into the Reserve.
We do not expect any withdrawals from the Reserve for multiple years and thus it is expected to grow over time. We believe that as the industry demand for Chainlink’s unique capabilities increases, that adoption of Chainlink services will enable the Reserve to grow further.
