Let's say i have an infinitely long chain. I wonder what is the maximum height, the curve can reach

The length of the chain is irrelevant. Only the weight of the chain above zero position.

An infinitely long chain has infinite mass and would crush you and your stupid question to death.

Wrong. The top of the chain arc gets higher the more chain has gone out the siphon.

The beads in the jar act like a compressed spring that is very slowly uncompressed as the beads leave the jar.

An infinitely long chain would also be infinitely large so it would either: 1 - be perfectly straight and go on in both directions forever, in which case the gravity at any point on the chain would be zero, or 2 - crumpled in an infinitely large quadrant of space. That quadrant has no center point where you would be crushed but it has a center line which you'd be pulled along infinitely faster.

Your mother's an infinite whore.

the only thing that can explain this (according me)
There is more that the eye can see, the chain touches the glass and bounces back in high speed
