Hi everyone !
I've got a question concerning the fiat gateway.
As far as I understand, it's meant to enable companies to pay for blockchain service directly in FIAT currencies instead of Stratis Tokens in order for them to avoid the volability risk of crypto, right ?
What about Stratis tokens, then ? The whitepaper mentions their finite supply, combined with their need to use the services should mechanically make them worth more over time, but if you allow users to pay for service in FIAT currencies, where's the need for these tokens anymore ?
Plus, the consultancy service seems out of the scope too.
You're mentionning that for big corps potential needs, they'll be able to deal directly with the core Stratis team.
Same here, isn't it just taking away the biggest potential Stratis demand, by bypassing it with FIAT ?
Hi Vinz421
"it's meant to enable companies to pay for blockchain service directly"
This statement is incorrect, the Fiat Gateway is to allow users and businesses to move Fiat into the Stratis ecosystem.
Services will not be paid for in Fiat directly, all services have to be paid in Stratis. The Fiat gateways allow us to greatly simplify and stream line the process of purchasing the Stratis tokens required by these services.
I do not agree that the consultancy service is out of scope. Any project claiming to provide business to business blockchain services, should have an incorporated business that these corporations can engage to provide design, development and deployment consultancy.
See my post below for more details on the benefits provided by having a consultancy solutions provider.
Im not familiar with these projects, but Im not aware of any startups offering private chain functionality that are targeting the corporate world in the same way as Stratis. Stratis is a unique platform is many ways.
I believe neither of those projects offer a Blockchain-As-A-Service platform that allows one click provisioning of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitshares and Waves nodes. While also being able to provision private chains via Stratis.
We have extensive enterprise IT experience in the team and our CEO has experience in business to business consultancy, delivering solutions and services to corporations around Europe. So we are not only targeting the corporate market, we will be actively marketing and selling services to them.
Stratis consultancy really separates us from the rest, none of the other blockchain projects provide consultancy services around their own blockchain tech and those of Bitcoin, bitshares and Ethereum. This is going to be of great importance when selling these services to businesses. The team has extensive consultancy experience and will be able to offer them a level of service that a enterprise organisation would expect. This also gives corporations the protection of accountability, as Stratis consultancy will be a registered business.
Stratis is not just offering one piece of the puzzle, we are building an end to end solution for Blockchain testing, development and deployment. Im not aware of any competitors offering a full blockchain development platform.
