$LINK Chainlink is the diamond in the rough because Chainlink’s biggest opportunity could only emerge after the rest of crypto matured enough to need it...it was always going to be last to the top 3(currently 13). BTC had to prove digital scarcity... ETH had to prove programmable blockchains.... Then came the L1s, L2s, DeFi, stablecoins, dApps, institutional tokenization(now) and real-world assets. Chainlink’s job was never to be another island Its job was to connect the islands, data, blockchains, banks, assets, applications and payment systems. That is why, in my view, LINK was always structurally positioned to mature later than BTC and ETH. You cannot dominate interoperability, cross-chain settlement and onchain financial infrastructure when there is barely anything worth connecting yet. Now there is... its happening NOW! The more fragmented the onchain world becomes, the more valuable a common connectivity layer can become and if tokenized finance grows the way major institutions expect it to, Chainlink does not need to replace Bitcoin or Ethereum to become enormously important...It just becoms the infrastructure they and the rest of the financial system increasingly depend on. BTC created the asset.. ETH created the programmable economy and Chainlink will connect that entire economy together. That is the bull case. Chainlink isn't late.. its just getting started..$1kisFud

We hosted 15 of the world’s leading fintech/crypto research experts for lunch today to share some @chainlink news and discuss the tokenization trend we are all witnessing in real time. There will still be disappointments and struggles ahead, but I could not be more optimistic and encouraged about the future of this industry and the wonderful community building it.
