Nice post!!!

So that will dispel any questions people have about smart contracts in Stratis - its coming folks!

I guess what you're trying to say is that I'm using the banks to my advantage?

I would say yes, I am using the banks to my advantage. I am milking the banks for all their worth, the same way the banks have milked the every day person for all their worth. The banks are making people slaves, but now the bank is my slave.

The bank and its slave ripple does all the work, and I am pocketing all the money. Let them continue to work like slaves...I have made my money and will milk them the way they have milked the every day person.

I am stabbing the banks in the back, for sure. The banks and those that support them are corrupt.

We should milk the bankers for all their worth and execute them tomorrow morning for their crimes.

You should not be supporting these banking criminals. You should milk them, and then throw them in the ditch...the way they have done that to others.

I didnt make money off the banks. I made money off XRP tokens that were bought and sold on the free market.

Banks dont operate under free markets. They dont operate under decentralisation. They dont operate under open doors.

What banks do operate is a ponzi scheme which is why people are forced to take out loans just to buy a property. Before they never had to do that.

You have to realise that banks don't have the every day person's best interests at heart. Decentralisation of the financial world is a brilliant way to keep the banks and other institutions in check, and that is what crypto aims to do.

I used to have close to 2mn XRP - sold them all

I no longer believe XRP is in the best interests of crypto currency as a whole

It has made me money obviously, but ideologically its not a good fit, and the profit I made was good enough that its ok for me to now sell and move on

Crypto is about decentralisation and taking the power away from the fat cats and establishment.

XRP is about supporting the corrupt bankers...bankers which absolutely nobody likes.

It doesnt matter how good their idea is...XRP is in support of corruption and criminal bankers who should be in jail

Ok thats a respectable amount....Ive made over $3mn+ from crypto and quit my day job about 9 years ago

I didnt make it by chance..I made it by looking at fundamentals and the common themes for why things succeeded

Stratis has all the right things going for it...most cryptos dont

That is why its not gospel to say its not a good time to buy. Anything which has strong fundamentals is good to buy at any time

Also, its not necessarily at which point you buy that matters depending on your investing strategy...its the price you sell which matters

Coinbiz how much money have you actually made from crypto to be having such a strong opinion on stratis?

Lets talk actual numbers of your crypto holdings

Stratis is in a brilliant position right now...its gonna get even better

Now is the time to HODL in my opinion...other investment styles might differ

You are giving investment opinions here and talking about them as if they are gospel, constantly arguing your way is the right way.

Whether stratis is good to buy now or not depends on your investing style. Not something set out in stone like your making it out to be

For you, you believe its not a good time to buy - other investment styles may differ

That's the bottom line. You've stated your opinion and you should leave it to other's to make up their judgements.

Coinbiz you have been called out for being a troll by about 10 different people here

Idiotic opinions to say stratis is like novacoin shows how little you understand this tech

You clearly should hold your breath instead of sprouting FUD and total complete nonsense

The other thing with Stratis is Stratis allows a corporation to implement blockchain super quickly.

It speeds up the development process and massively reduces overhead costs.

Imagine the costs of implementing something like ethereum for a massive corporation, testing it, making it bug free and all the other overheads which come with it. Ethereum is a foreign coding language, its code needs to be heavily tested inside out (taking huge amounts of time and resources). It would be a nightmare and monstrosity to implement because corporations have so many different coding languages, different softwares and different levels of IT infrastructure. To replace all that in favor of ethereum would be a HUGE project, and corporations wont take that risk.

Corporations build on top of their coding instead of replacing it, because its so vast and huge, it would be a nightmare to replace things. This is something people outside of corporate IT don't understand

In the Stratis whitepaper, it shows how enterprises can be provisioned with blockchain in just 10 minutes, using a 1-click provisioning service, and the organisations can keep their existing IT infrastructure, coding and everything else as it is.

This IMHO is a game changer

Like the way we can provision a server by clicking a few buttons, the same will be with Stratis. The organisation just clicks a few buttons, the private blockchain gets provisioned, with all the parameters they need, and everything else IT wise can stay as it is.  And they can run lisk, ethereum or any other crypto tech they want without having any of the headaches.

And if the organisation later wanted to replace its IT infrastructure, it can do that in steps, whilst knowing their info etc is being written to the blockchain securely, and the organisation is getting all the benefits of blockchain.

Compare that to a monstrosity like ethereum. Its a completely new coding language that has to build stuff from the ground up, the code would need to be absolutely solid and thoroughly tested to be bug free to even be worth considering, and you have limited developers on a new language. You would also need to factor in huge costs to replace your existing IT infrastructure to build a whole new network on top. IT infrastructure that tracks millions of transactions, billions in assets and extremely complex code that isn't so simple to replicate or replace. It simply isnt happening.

This is why you have the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance - because enterprises like the idea, but they're struggling to implement it because its such a monstrosity. So what theyre doing is ripping ethereum off and building their own little things (like Corda) because ethereum cant be implemented so easily

With Stratis you dont have any of those problems. Press a few buttons on their blockchain provisioning service and hey presto your away, able to use any blockchain tech, with the parameters you want, whilst protecting your legacy code and allowing real IT infrastructure updates to happen step by step.

Stratis is practical, it makes sense, it takes a huge headache out of enterprises and it understands the reality of the situation.

Are you absolutely kidding me?

Breeze wallet is not just an UI design!!!!!!

The UI is something that they are of course working on, but its based on an underlying technology which they have been working on

Breeze wallet implements Tumblebit..see here:

https://stratisplatform.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=141438

"TumbleBit is an anonymous payment protocol that aims to solve two of the major challenges faced by Bitcoin, scaling to keep up with the increasing demand, and protecting the privacy of payments made via Bitcoin. TumbleBit is implemented as a layer built on top of Bitcoin and is compatible without requiring changes to the existing Bitcoin protocol."

Stratis will be interchangeable with the breeze wallet...given Stratis a direct link to bitcoin, the most widely used crypto currency in the world with millions of users and thousands of different technologies built on top of it.

Tell me, where are all the ethereum and lisk ATMS??? Where are all the ethereum and lisk credit and debit cards?

I see bitcoin with the ATMs, I see bitcoin with the credit and debit cards, I see bitcoin blockchain is what other technologies are writing on.

And Stratis will have THE DIRECT LINK to this global bitcoin technology which is changing the world. Bitcoin is now worth close to $45 billion..and it will get to $100billion soon. Stratis will have the direct link to this with the breeze wallet...its a huge huge huge update

And on top of that, stratis can run ethereum, it can run lisk, it can run any blockchain technology!

The reason lisk isn't higher is because their implementation and code output is weak. In other words, they have a weak team which takes too long to bring things out, and the market has reacted accordingly.

Stratis delivers what it says it will do quickly and efficiently, with a clear roadmap that they're actually sticking to. They are also based in central London which is arguably the most productive place in the world (and I know because Ive lived there)

This is one of the things that sets Stratis apart from so many other techs. They are a solid team that delivers quick results, on time, with none of the faffing about that a lot of other cryptos have (like lisk). They are super productive and are in the right environment to deliver quick results.

They are also in the banking capital of the world with rapid access to so many financial institutions, literally next door to them. Something that a lot of cryptos dont have.

Stratis can also be used with any language. The C# is used as the link for the existing enterprise code which already exists.


Sorry but this is complete and total bullshit. Novacoin has absolutely NOTHING to do with this


This Novacoin BS means you've lost your credibility. Smart contracts is also written very clearly in their roadmap




Again, your forgetting that its not ideas and concepts that matter. Lisk might be a good idea in practice, but their implementation sucks, their team sucks, their location sucks.

- Its implementation and ability to deliver results that matter (Stratis is delivering what it says it will do, and super quickly).
- Its location, access to corporations that matter (Stratis is based in central London, the banking capital of the world)
- Its team that matters (Stratis is a team with its experience in Enterprise IT)

The CEO of Stratis Chris Trew has been in Enterprise IT based in central London, the banking capital of the world. He sees how corporations have structured their IT infrastructure and he has seen that its C# and .NET which is common throughout their infrastructure. This programming language and infrastructure is used as THE LINK to allow their blockchain technology to develop.

The reason side chains exist is so Stratis can run multiple blockchain languages in one core technology. Stratis is like a blockchain hub where multiple technologies can run together at the same time.

Again, it honestly seems you dont know what your talking about


Do Dash and Monero make Bitcoin transactions and coins anonymous?

Smart contracts are not a big deal like your making them out to be. What is a big deal is getting an easy to use solution that corporations can use to implement different blockchain technologies, by respecting their existing IT infrastructure.

What your failing to understand is that corporations cant just jump ship with all their code and start using ethereum or any other crypto. They have an existing legacy code that needs to be maintained and respected, especially when it comes to banks which basically are continually building on top of their existing code and software without actually deleting or changing anything.

By Stratis using C# and having an indepth understanding of how corporate IT works, they are respecting the REALITY of corporations. The C# is used to link into the existing legacy code on the .NET framework

As for Ethereum, corporations are ripping off ethereum left and right. Look at Corda for instance...banks implementing their own smart contracts by looking at how ethereum works and then making their own system.

You are seeming to think that smart contracts is some magical thing, when it isn't.

I see a lot of potential in this little coin..ive put a nice investment in

It could be big...and with the updates coming out, im sure it'll get a lot of attention too

A listing on bittrex would also be killer....fingers crossed...

Whales arent dumping...you can tell by looking at the sell orders in the depth chart...the next wall is at: 600k sats

Anyway, time to HODL

The trollbox was the funnest part of logging into polo

This will cause polo to die...we will see....

For sure, it goes for saying with any crypto. If you have big stakes, then selling a bit helps spread the risk

Major announcements are literally just around the corner though...tells me its stupidity selling by being reactive to the EMA curve more than anything. Real investors dont sell just because the EMA moves down

Each to their own

Most people are completely clueless when it comes to investing...pulling money out at the time when the token is about to explode shows inexperience more than anything

A lot of people wrongly sell based on what they see in graphs - EMAs falling below SMA is normally a sign to sell, if you're basing your judgements purely on the graphs, and not on the tech fundamentals.

Real investing however relies on looking at tech fundamentals, sentiment, roadmaps, whitepapers, teams and lots of other things. And not just relying on the graph.

And yes, I made a lot of money in stratis (over $1mn to put it mildly), and that was by looking at the tech fundamentals, not by seeing what was pumping temporarily to make a quick buck.

Im expecting stratis to pick up again sharply very shortly.

When the idiots sell, you know its time to buy

Idiots selling is why people like me make a lot of money

Those are highly subjective opinions with a lot of gross assumptions...

And so what if he's buying ethereum? Totally mute point...even I and most people here have bought ethereum! Doesn't mean you don't invest in other great technologies.

And no, most big companies are merely investigating ethereum..doesn't mean they will actually use it. Ethereum is being ripped off left and right so corporations can build their own systems based off it. Look at Corda for instance...a banking smarts contract platform in practical use now

You sound like someone who has no clue what they're talking about

Stratis is btw in talks with a lot of companies already...see there blog for more details

It sounds like your trying to reduce the price so you can buy more

See technical analysis here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/stratisplatform/comments/6ftf8a/does_stratis_look_like_its_setting_up_for_a_break/

Almost everyone is saying stratis is going to break upwards soon - some major major announcements coming

IMHO, 3 days is a silly window to raise funds, and they will have definitely cut themselves short.

There can be plenty of legitimate reasons why someone who is extremely active and interested in the tech may be unable to invest in the 3 days.

A better window could have been 1 week, or 2 weeks at a push. We don't need to drag out for a month.

As for communication, the initial signpost to their priority pass was buried deep in a blog post....

Anyway, it is what it is, plenty of other ICOs out there

Doesnt matter if its overvalued...what matters is they have the money in their hands to give themselves a head start

To cut themselves short like that lacks common sense imho

They could have easily raised significantly more

But anyway, it is what it is

I see it as being a disorganised ICO with poor communication....

In my opinion these people are idiots - totally disorganised ICO and not clear at all

It sold out in the pre-sale from what I hear...though they said it would open at 11am EST today

Capping their funds like that is the height of stupidity...they could have easily tripled their money if they stuck by their word

I view this organisation as disorganised and lacking common sense
