If you made $88,000.00 at the top, then you should wish that Strat price falls even more - in order to buy in at the bottom
Because it will be double figures within 6 months. Easy.

Reason for that is simple; The amazing news about Stratis is - amazing news to active Stratis followers - but not for the ignorant masses.
It's easy to lose sight (or the big picture) here in forums. Truth is, the big audience, a.k.a people out there don't know what's happening.
It's big and amazing news for us - but not for the big audience. They have no idea. And I kinda like it. It buys me more time to gather Strats with reasonable price

Marketing, consulting and pitching of the VC has not started yet. When it starts on full steam - then the big audience will wake up.

Stratis is still a bit of a secret, if you think about it

And once the audience wakes up, they will be listening

Would you borrow me 20 grand? I pinky promise to pay you back. I got some Stratis on my mind
Just kidding, of course

That of course doesn't mean that there's no money to be made by investing to Ethereum - of course not.
Many people believe in ETH so the price of ETH will go up - as well it will come down. So there are plenty of chances to make some serious dough by playing one's cards well.

I have invested in ETH (and Bitcoin) previously, and never lost a dime. I have always ended up winning - sometimes more, sometimes less - and I believe that it is still possible to play that game (although I also believe, that in the long run ETH will vanish eventually). My prediction, for example at the moment of writing (friday), ETH is down to $250. By monday (or tuesday the latest),  ETH will be most likely back to $275+ That wouldn't surprise me a one single bit. Been there, done that

Nowadays I have invested pretty much all of my stakes in Stratis. Because I feel that it has so much more potential in the long run. And the Stratis token is cheap. That means that there's room for ten- to hundredfold growth. Maybe more, who knows.

That is also a very good strategy, or a way to think about investments.

Just invest, and forget about it. One of my friends actually does that too. He invests long term, and comes back every couple of years later to see how he's done. He (like you or me) doesn't care about daily changes, because they simply don't matter in the long run.

Only time when one should start to pay a bit closer attention about which way markets (or investments) go, is maybe 10 years before retirement. If (at the time) they are doing well, it's time to sell, if not - well maybe wait a tad longer before cashing out. Just to make sure that the future (what's left of it) is secured

And you're absolutely right about Stratis - in the near future it should bypass ETH as a better platform - and should be much more valuable - if there's any logic in this universe

That actually was one of my primary reasons, why I invested in Stratis in the first place. I saw the problems with ETH - and I noticed how Stratis had a much better way to tackle those obstacles. It is simply inherently better concept. There's no dancing around it. Everyone who have done their studies, cannot deny it. Simple as that

I personally have such a strong feeling about Stratis, that I've recommended my company's tech board to take a closer look into it.
And I don't do such things without carefully thinking about it first. It's a long story but anyways...

So far I haven't found a single thing why Stratis shouldn't be a successful project - besides a mile size meteor striking UK and wiping out greater London area altogether - but odds for that are (pardon the pun) astronomically small.

Absolutely. Well said - and welcome to the forum

   The dogs bark, and the markets fall -  but the caravan goes on  

Many thanks for the Stratis team! Keep up the good work  

Only feel sorry if they sell now instead of holding.

Remember, what comes down, must bounce up.

History is full of examples like that. For example, 1929 stock market crash. Huge number of people lost their money by panic selling. But it was also an opportunity of the lifetime for the smart ones. They got very rich by holding - and buying at the bottom.  

Some say that "volatility is the traders best friend". True dat

I would love to buy Stratis at 0.10$ a piece

I believe that Stratis is going double figures by the end of this year.
If you are still worried, then I believe that you simply have invested too much.

My personal 'investment mindset' goes as follows; When I invest on something, I think that "all that money is gone" - instantly - at the moment I press the button. It's just gone. I don't expect ever getting my money back. Not ever.

The reason why I have that sort of mindset is, that if markets fall and prices come crashing down - I dont panic sell - because I've already accepted to lose my initial investment budget. Secondly, if I feel fine to lose all of it right at the beginning - I know that I haven't invested too much.

Having that sort of mindset protects me from flash crashes and I don't need to worry about my money. Because I'm willing to lose it in the first place.

That's the practical example what "don't-invest-more-than-you-are-willing-to-lose" means.

Those who dare to fail miserably can achieve greatly. John F. Kennedy

Oh, forgot to say...
I usually invest in the range of couple of thousand eur. Don't get me wrong, it is quite much for me, but will it be enough to last for the rest of my life? Heck no! But it has the potential to bring me tens of thousands, maybe even millions (if I'm very lucky). So what, if I lose couple of thousand trying...big deal.

I know that I have no regrets when I'm old.

Does anybody btw have any rational explanation (or theory) why cryptomarkets tend to go haywire especially on weekends?
Are all the Joneses selling crypto's in order to buy lambos for the weekend - or what's going on?

Every single cryptotoken / coin is coming down at the moment. Check coingecko.com to see it yourself.
Stratis coming down has nothing to do with stratis - it's just one of those days, when everything falls.

No biggie. It happens time to time. Especially on weekends. 

Wish I had loose fiat. I would buy more Strats without moment of hesitation.

Nobody knows - and that's a good thing.

If everybody knew, there wouldn't be any profits to be made.

I think it's fair to say that Stratis have set their sights and goals a bit higher than copying Lisk  

If in doubt, here's Stratis white paper:  https://stratisplatform.com/files/Stratis_Whitepaper.pdf

Breeze wallet is in alpha-stage, running with test tokens - in a test network.
It's not officially released for real transactions, and not all features are implemented.

So, Breeze is under testing at the moment to make sure it works, before it's officially released for the public use.

Sorry.

When I was five, my dad told me not to feed trolls

It's not.
Normal fluctuation. Welcome to the crypto market

Because big time marketing, consulting and pitch for VC funding hasn't started yet. Stratis is a bit of a secret at this point.

You bastard, you

I woke up late, and now I have to buy those tokens with real money.
Nevertheless, cheap they are considering the potential.

And I've never been the fortunate one anyways

I had to put this video up for grabs  

Playful side of me I hope Stratis takes me to the moon

There are of course some rules, when promoting Stratis to business colleagues (or friends in different companies).

Number one; No hype! Just the facts ma'am!
Nothing does more harm than promising moon from the sky - and one can't deliver.

Number two; No speculation!
You know what you know. If they ask questions and you don't know the answers, be honest and tell them that you don't know.
Very simple thing to do - and nobody blames you. But they will blame you if you have speculated - and therefore lied...

Number three; Don't push it! Let them decide.
Just provide the links to main page, media (like Huffington Post) and Microsoft Azure.

If they are smart enough, they will see the potential - all by themselves.

To sum it up...Be honest, professional and play it cool
