Chainlink (LINK) probable choice as Request Network ORACLE. And WHY should I care?

1 - Do you agree with me that fiat integration is going to be the main growth factor for REQ?

Joint first with the Pay with Request initiative.

2 - Do you agree with me that REQ is going to use LINK's oracles to access fiat?

I agree that it will be one of five potential options, as they described in the blog post you linked.

3 - Do you agree with me that LINK's oracles have to adopted before REQ can release fiat integration?

No, nor should anyone who read that blog post.

4 - Do you agree with me that LINK's adoption will cause LINK's price to explode?

Yes.

If you agree to all four of those points. Then realize LINK will explode before REQ and there is no point in holding REQ over LINK right now.

As mentioned in my previous comments, I disagree with points 2 and 3.

Think about this. We both agree that fiat gateways are essential if Request is to achieve its ultimate potential. Imagine for some reason Sergey said "Request is not allowed to use ChainLink as a fiat gateway". Do you think the Request team would give up on the idea of fiat gateways forever? Or do you think they would use one of the four other options they have in mind?

It seems pretty obvious to me that they would go for the second option, hence my belief that REQ can succeed with or without LINK.

Personally, I'm holding a ton of LINK.

That much is obvious. :-)

I wish you well with you LINK holdings, and I think your strategy of investing in the LINK ecosystem would be a great use of LINK profits.
