John Wu just casually going on Bloomberg to drop facts about $link and $avax ETFs coming in the next wave as people get used to $BTC and $ETH ETF performance.
every few months here one of the group chats will be like "oh shit did you hear what happened to dolphinKiki?" and everyone is like"wow power to dolphkiks" or I "omg I love dk!" and I have never heard of this person in my life, so I go look at dolphinkiki profile and they have…

You don't actually want KOLs for your project, what you really want for marketing (and what we're aiming for

The team? I am on great terms with everyone (afaik) and cannot speak highly enough of the talent and hustle that puts in the work, not just to make

@SergeyNazarov
says it all the time. People are willing to pay for provable security. Chainlink expensive? Then get something else that's less secure. Up to you.
2. You have to figure out how to prioritize. If CLL helps integrate oracles into every blockchain, that's dev time

how do you decide where to spend that dev time? On some meme blockchain that your friend is trying to start to get on the L2 craze train?
Or on a chain with significant traction that pays you to make sure your global security standard protocol works correctly on their chain?

The fud: Chainlink is expensive. I was never in bizdev or integrations or working on any tech partnerships, so I don't know any of this from my time at CLL, but as a founder outside cll, word is there are significant costs upfront - why might that be?
