[LINK dropped 80%, but the real danger is that you’re still holding it like a “mainstream coin”]
Last week, a friend messaged me privately. He said he’s been holding LINK for almost a year and asked whether he should add more.
I asked him: When you bought LINK, what did you think it was?
He said: A leading oracle—an essential infrastructure for Web3.
Alright, then let me ask you this—have you calculated how much this “essential infrastructure” has fallen from its peak? It’s down nearly 80%.
I’ve been through four market cycles, and I’ve seen too many of these situations.
When a coin drops seven or eight tenths from its high and then starts trading sideways, someone always comes out and says: “It’s oversold.” “Valuation is reasonable.” “It’s about time.”
But the issue is never whether the price has fallen enough. It’s—has the business logic actually worked?
LINK’s logic is: put off-chain data on-chain, and feed information to smart contracts. Sounds great—Web3 can’t do without it.
But if you really ask the people running real businesses now, how many project teams are actually willing to pay real money for LINK data services? How many DeFi protocols entrust their core security to it? Back when the ordi hype was going on, how much did LINK’s usage data actually grow?
I haven’t seen specific numbers, but the general feel in the community is: it’s more like something “everyone says is great, but everyone uses other methods instead.”
This isn’t a hit job—it’s me asking you one question:
A coin you’re down 80% on—what are you holding it for? Waiting for the next hot trend to boost it? Or truly believing its business logic can be realized?
I’ve seen too many people holding “value coins” waiting to break even, only to end up with zero.
I’m not saying LINK will go to zero. I’m saying you have to think clearly about what you’re betting on.
Right now, are you still holding LINK because you really believe in its deployed applications? Or are you just unwilling to accept that loss number?
If you can’t figure this out, whether to average down or cut your losses—everything becomes gambling with your eyes closed.
I’m not saying you can’t hold it. I’m saying you need to know what you’re gambling on.
Are you still watching LINK? Do you think its business logic can truly run?
