maybe the guy who didnt know if someone was dead shouldnt be in charge of a tontine

that is a job for a smart contract which would never be wrong about a person being dead, for example Gerald Cotten Cottan.

here is the most likely scenario for chainlink in the next week

>Sergey drops the blogpost on Tuesday or Wednesday
>mainnet will go live without reputation contract
>also no deposit/withdrawal contract or penalty contract, meaning no staking from day 1
>but node operators will still be able to accept and complete jobs, just no staked LINK involved
>this means high quality users of the network will likely not be announced for a few months pending the completion of these contracts (no penalty = too much risk for blue chip companies)
>however, data providers will be live from day 1
>data providers will include SWIFT and docusign among others (see video here: https://twitter.com/chainlinkmarket/status/1131264893808664576)
>a list of data providers will be specifically mentioned in the blogpost, because sergey is mostly concerned with developers building their dapps with chainlink, not speculative partnerships) this alone will push us from $1 to $4 over the next 4 weeks
>flood gates are now opened, a steady stream of data providers will be announced as they are onboarded
>realistically, we reach $10-15 EOY
>reputation contract, penalty contract, and deposit/withdrawal contract or completed
>literally 10's of millions of LINK will be locked up in nodes
>once SWIFT, microsoft etc are announced as USERS of the network and not just providers (Project Bletchley collaboration is made official, chainlink is integrated into SWIFTs core business model as the oracle of choice, docusign uses LINK to expand their product suite) we hit $200-$500 (probably sometime near the end of 2020)
