So what is STRAT exactly?

[thejaytiesto]

What is STRAT but another Ethereum clone? It has even the exact same total supply, which makes people speculate about it reaching an higher price.

Why would STRAT go higher than what we have already seen? Is this another total shitcoin or has some fundamental value?

[tokyoghetto]

its the next ETH.....that is all you need to know...buy buy buy!

seriously though, I have no idea why its going higher.

Stratis is Ethereum but with C#, and as far as I can tell that's it.  Lisk is Ethereum but with JavaScript, and as far as I can tell that's it.

Well shit, on that case it may as well pump bigly. Lisk pumped pretty big. What's the ROI on that thing since the ICO?

Strat is already pretty nuts so I wonder if it will keep going on.

People seem to love the ethereum clones. Just make an Ethereum clone under another language and launch an ICO.

[overnightmillionaire]

Stratis is not an Ethereum clone. However I can't say it will not rival Ethereum once the tech is finished.

I suggest you all do more research if the best you can come up with is C#. Trust me, you don't want to miss the boat, breeze wallet is due this month.

The popularity of Stratis is beyond me - it's basically blockchain in a suit. Anything else?

looks like a insider pumping polo coin.

what did the ico look like? small under the radar job ?

[chutchmcgillicutty]

It seems like whatever coin i read about on this forum blasts off shortly thereafter...

I missed the opportunity to own a strat before, i was able to join in an Ico offering strat yet i dont know why I didnt push it. I just regret it now.

If Lisk follows Stratis, then it has a long way up. Any other ethereum clones that have not taken off yet?

[TKeenan]

Stratis is interesting (I like C#), however I feel like it's facing the wrong direction. It's focused on integrating with Bitcoin and trying to get corporate partners onboard (since a lot of corporate businesses code in C#). However, Bitcoin integration may be a waste of time if Ethereum really does take over, and even though corporate support is important, if you aren't working towards mass public adoption you're bound to fail IMO. Nothing about Stratis seems to be focused on ease-of-use for the general public. It seems like they're hoping for their academy thing to handle that for them? The economy is based on consumers, and you need to focus on getting them into the ecosystem IMO.

They say STRAT is a platform and not a coin but personally I think it is still considered as a coin/token. Probably it pumped too because it was just nominated recently in the https://theeuropas.com/awards/.

I don't know if that's saying much though. I don't recognize any of the other cryptos on that list?

There is no such thing as Ethereum taking over. Bitcoin and Ethereum do completely separate things. One is digital gold, the other is a corporation backed & controlled, semi-centralized platform with bailouts.

Nothing about Stratis seems to be focused on ease-of-use for the general public.

It does not have to be at this time.

LISK is trash. It will not follow Stratis.

Waves is also very similar, not quite a clone, but you'll notice Waves rising with Ethereum.  In general, I see Waves, Ethereum, and Stratis as the 3 major business/finance coins.

Waves is the same as what I wrote for LISK. No idea why it has any value, then again everything is in bubble mode except Bitcoin.

At this time Stratis is only hyperbole & vaporware standardized to a non-preferred programming platform.

I think this is a correct calculation to arrive at current market valuation >

Cool Name = $500 Million
Cool Logo = $200 Million
Association to Blockchain buzzword = $300 Million
Vague Association To Microsoft Brand Name = $200 Million

VOILA! $1.2 Billion Market Cap Achieved

Well shit, could have guessed that by the time the ICO kicked in, now we all would be rich. This thing just went from $5 to $10. I can't help but feel like an idiot at the idea of jumping in, but i've been feeling like that since it was $1. I hate this feeling.

I just need to hit a homerun with some ICO and get rich so I can forget about paying attention to all those shitcoins. I want to focus on few coins but I dont want to miss the next STRAT or whatever.

To put your words in a more exacter manner:"I have failed to invest in a very prosperous project at the right time, and now I am envious of anyone who has heavily profited from it. Therefore, this project must be bad."

If you had invested 1 BTC in Stratis, which was around ~$600 at the time, you would now have over $1m. Stratis is bwy far the most profitable ICO that there has even been. Ironically, it's usually the people which one classifies as "a fool and his money are soon parted" that tend to hit these "homeruns".

Stratis is kinda similar to ETH since both of them are platforms for dev smart contracts and applications based on the blockchain. However, thit is where their similarities end. Stratis' native language is C#, which is different from ethereums and it means that devs don't have to learn a new language from scratch to develop the apps and smart contracts.

yep . Developers who already know and use C# (and there are loads of them) will be able to easily and immediately create apps for use in business.
Compare that with Ether where they have to learn a new language

[adhitthana]

Stratis will also run the application on sidechains. So umlike Ethereum the main chain won't get bloated.

Also Bitcoin core developer Nic Dorier, working with Stratis,  created a Bitcoin full node in C#

i am waiting for strat down so i can buy  strat again because i am selling strat too early but its fine for me because i am make big profit. i think strat is a good to make profit as long as the coins have power to go up, but it need more time before the price is increase more, maybe it will have correction price first.
