Chainlink HODLers are called Link Marines because they wage war on crypto Twitter, shilling Chainlink to anyone who will listen.
The biggest army of shills in the crypto game, are no doubt Chainlink’s Link Marines.
Mobilising as one on Twitter, the Link Marines’ mission is clear, relentless and unwavering.
To elevate Chainlink to what they believe is, LINK’s rightful place as the number one cryptocurrency on the market.
This section of our Chainlink crypto guide takes a look at the biggest army of shills in crypto.
Why the Link Marines?
If you’ve been in crypto for any period of time, you’d no doubt have seen the influence that memes have in the space.
The military-themed Link Marine name is actually a homage to a previous group of crypto shills who repped Ripple and called themselves the XRP Army.
Yep, remember those guys?
With all of Ripple’s regulatory and legal problems, their own army of shills has done an excellent job in pushing through and maintaining XRP’s top 10 position.
If nothing else, you’ve gotta respect the hustle.
The Link Marines had a ready model to base their own shilling on and upon adopting the military moniker, have taken things to the next level.
Are the Link Marines good for Chainlink?
Well, let’s answer a question with another question.
Do you think Chainlink should be a top 15 cryptocurrency by market cap?
If you don’t quite agree with that statement, and to be honest we’d probably say that only the Link Marines do, then obviously they’re good for Chainlink.
While Chainlink has slipped to 13th in the list of cryptocurrencies by market cap, they’re still above huge projects like Polygon (MATIC).
Publishing this blog on the often directionless Hive blockchain and watching other projects like Chainlink and SafeMoon get laser-focused attention from the public, we’re in a good position to offer an opinion.
And there’s no doubting that the attention LINK has gained on the back of the Link Marine’s shilling has been extremely beneficial to the project.
Attention leads to price increases.
From there, it’s up to the devs and the technology itself for the real building to occur.
Is Dave Portnoy still a Link Marine?
The profile of the Link Marines got so big, that even Barstool Sports’ Dave Portnoy once considered himself a member of their ranks.
“I am a Link Marine, I fuckin’ love it.”
“I’m a huge Link Marine. I think I’m $300,000 of one and that thing just rips.”
But after a bit of a public falling out on Twitter with the army where he called them weak, Portnoy jumped ship to invest in SafeMoon.
Whether Portnoy is still a Link Marine or not, actually doesn’t really matter.
The attention that his celebrity endorsement garnered was priceless to the cause and while the Link Marine’s may not publicly say it, they will be thanking Portnoy for his service.
Best of probabilities to you.

If Portnoy he was so loyal to chainlink why did he leave him? doesn't that mean he's not a real hodler?

Yep.
He's in it for the pump and dump and I would guarantee that he dumped on these guys on the way down.
