The Bull Case	My Core Doubt
SWIFT partnership testing cross-chain asset transfers aggressively throughout 2023.	Do banks actually need the LINK token to operate, or are they just licensing the tech?
Over 1,000 distinct project integrations active today.	Token utility still feels heavily tied to paying node operators—not creating scarcity.

It's frustrating. The real-world adoption metrics look amazing on paper, right? But I'm just an intermediate guy trying to read the tea leaves here.

• Are the v0.2 staking mechanics actually removing enough supply from circulation?
• Does anyone here see a realistic path forward based on actual network revenue sharing?

I'd really appreciate hearing how you guys are valuing this right now—because my spreadsheets are basically useless at this point.]]> Future & Projects Elite-Hacker https://totemfi.com/future-projects/what-is-chainlink-link-future-nSxzM/#post-382
