The second most asked token I get is $LINK. And it’s a tricky one. As a product, Chainlink is indispensable. RWAs don’t scale without reliable data, proof of reserves, and secure offchain → onchain infrastructure. A lot of this market will depend on them. However… I’m still not fully convinced on the token. Yes there are fees. Yes there’s staking.bBut it’s still not clear how much value actually flows back into $LINK itself. From my standpoint: The product = essential The token = still proving itself Bull case for $LINK would be : > Becomes the standard for RWA data + verification > Trillions in assets rely on Chainlink feeds + infra > Staking scales → large % of supply locked > CCIP becomes the default cross-chain settlement layer > LINK becomes economic security for the entire system If all of that plays out… Then LINK isn’t just a token, it “would” become the backbone collateral of onchain finance. Right now, I see one of the best products in crypto attached to a token still trying to find its final form. I feel it’s pretty hard to argue with that.

I see a lot of the TL celebrating this news, and honestly it feels strange to me, because my reaction to it is almost the opposite. To me this news feels sad, in a very specific and almost difficult to describe way, because it feels like the last confirmation that the period of crypto as a rogue financial movement is over, and that realization has been settling in for me for the last 6 months or so. I’ve been into crypto for almost 12 years now, and I did not get into Bitcoin because I wanted a new asset to trade or because I thought it would make me rich. I got into it because I have always been an open source geek, and I stayed because I genuinely believed this technology could do something historically important. I thought it could be the thing that separated Money from State, in the same way there was once a separation of Religion and State.....That was always the deepest promise of it to me. If the separation of Religion and State was about protecting freedom of thought, then the separation of Money and State was about protecting freedom of action, because money is not just some abstract instrument, it is stored labor, stored time, stored choice, stored future. I have always looked at state control over money as something much bigger than policy or economics. The State is, at its core, a forced monopoly over whatever domain it controls, and money is probably the most consequential monopoly of all because every other part of life eventually runs through it. Central banks have always felt to me like a modern priesthood, using opaque language, complex models, and institutional authority to maintain public faith in a fiat system that very few people actually understand but everyone is forced to live under. And the dangerous part is that this control does not feel violent in the obvious sense, which is exactly why people underestimate it. When your religious beliefs are yours, your conscience remains your own. When your money is yours, your action remains your own. But when the State controls money, it gets to reach into your life through inflation, dilution, and monetary expansion, and redirect pieces of your labor toward projects, wars, subsidies, or agendas you may completely reject. It becomes a way of taxing conscience without ever calling it that. That is why I always felt money should behave more like a commodity in a free market. It should compete. It should have to earn trust. It should not sit behind legal privilege and state enforcement. In a pluralistic society, religions compete for belief. They persuade, they attract, they lose legitimacy, they gain legitimacy. Money should be subjected to that same discipline. The fact that it is not is one of the great distortions of modern life, and I really believed crypto was the first serious attempt to change that. Which is why seeing people celebrate this kind of news makes me feel more emotional than I expected. It feels like everyone forgot what we were here for. This whole thing started with a revolutionary spirit, or at least that is how it felt to me, and now that spirit feels almost fully gone. The energy has shifted from trying to build an exit from the system to trying to secure a higher seat within it. A lot of people who once spoke the language of separation now seem perfectly content with integration, as long as they get richer in the process. And that is the part I find sad, because it feels like people stopped trying to fight the architecture itself and instead decided to benefit from it, which is a very different ambition. There is something even more ironic underneath all of this, because even the immense wealth many of crypto’s early believers have created still lives inside the same broader structure they once claimed they wanted to escape. These riches feel like victory on the surface, but at a deeper level they are still claims, still entries in systems that depend on legal recognition, institutional enforcement, custodial layers, banking rails, regulated exits, state tolerated ownership. So even the win has a strange hollowness to it. The revolution produced new nobility more easily than it produced new sovereignty, and those are very different outcomes. That is why this announcement does not read to me like progress in the way others seem to see it. I understand the business logic, I understand the market significance, I understand why people will call it validation, but emotionally and philosophically it feels like a closing chapter. Crypto was once this wild mustang, impossible to fully domesticate, carrying with it this raw possibility that the structure of money itself could change. Now it feels broken in. It feels stabled. Literally and metaphorically. It feels like the system looked at this force that once threatened to exist outside of it and decided to absorb it, formalize it, smooth it out, and put it to work extending the very machinery it once challenged. And maybe that is the clearest way I can put what bothers me here. Crypto increasingly feels like finance that finally caught up to internet speed. Faster rails, better settlement, cleaner ledgers, more continuous markets, more global access, but still downstream from the same fundamental issue of permissioned claims, institutional dependence, and state legibility. It becomes a more efficient financial layer without delivering the separation that once made the whole thing historically interesting to me in the first place. So no, I won’t be celebrating this one. Maybe that makes me out of step with where the space is now, but I can’t help that. Watching people cheer this on made me feel something I honestly did not expect to feel this strongly, which is grief for the part of crypto that once aimed much higher than this.
