0/ "If Chainlink is so important to smart contracts, is the solution to the huge bottleneck which everything depends on, why is it so obscure? Unless it is some FREAK accident that 4chan got hold of $Link, WHY is nobody talking about it?"

There's a few reasons:

1/The first and foremost is that ChainLink is not marketed at retail investors.

Really stop and think about that.

The developers don't tweet. They don't spam reddit. They don't buy ads on crypto sites. They don't do any of the bullshit that true scam coins do.

2/That's why it's not talked about. The developers don't give a dipshit about marketing it, and the only real new information that we get is from research done on 4chan. Why would an average Joe even know that Chainlink exists?

3/This leads into the second reason.

People do not fucking trust 4chan. They just don't. The average person thinks 4chan is full of shitty incels, so why the hell would they ever trust them for investments?

In the beginning I didn't trust Chainlink shillers at all.

4/ It was this fucking weird ass box logo. Then I finally decided they post so much that I'll do some research, and it was hella fucking complicated at first, but after a while I finally understood what $Link was.

5/It may be a simple idea to me and you now, but assuming the average Joe will understand the benefits of decentralized oracles is a lot to ask.

6/The white paper is virtually incomprehensible to brainlets and midwits, so the 'DYOR' meme isn't useful unless you're smart. Probably the best learning souce for fully integrating what Chainlink is and does into your mind are Sergey's presentations.

7/The big picture "a-ha" moment for chainlink is very elusive and we shouldn't be surprised that more people haven't caught on.

8/We have understood Chainlink for so long now that we take it for granted that it's easy to grasp, but like trigonometry, it's actually quite a bit harder to understand first time around than we give it credit.
