CHAINLINK

Opportunities:
With oracle, blockchain technology and smart contract will become vastly more useful. People would be able to execute different kinds of contracts in a trustless manner. I believe ChainLink’s oracle will help blockchain technology reaching mass adoption.
ChainLink’s partnership with SWIFT, which is used by over 11,000 banks worldwide, allows ChainLink to easily partner with other financial institutions going forward.
The team has been working together in the blockchain space for a few years already and came up with functioning products in their previous venture.
Network effect is present because the ChainLink platform is more useful when it is the go-to source for blockchain data feeds, so that users don't need to go to several sources for different types of data.

Concerns:
The team has not been very responsive to community's questions for the past two weeks. This may drive some potential participants away as they may prefer a team with more transparency.

Conclusion:
Overall, I like this ICO both for short- and long-term potential. This is one of the projects that can push blockchain forward and allow smart contracts to be actually “smart”.
Our thoughts of the tokens for short term and long term are as follows:
For short-term holding:
Good because 1) the project has a strong team and advisors, 2) the partnership with SWIFT legitimized ChainLink and provided traction, 3) tokens will be distributed immediately after the end of crowdsale, and 4) a portion (amount unspecified) of the hard cap is already sold in presale.
For long-term holding:
Good because 1) ChainLink is solving a real and highly lucrative problem with tons of use cases, and 2) the project has traction already with SWIFT being a paying customer.
