Your are getting stratis at an unbelievable discount right now, if I were you I'd be accumulating because the market moves startis makes can and have made lots of people rich.
You're contradicting yourself! You say Stratis doesn't pump its price; that, as a result of the professionalism of its team and the quality of its product, it's made people rich. BUT STRATIS HASN'T DONE ANYTHING. The prices soared due to insane levels of wild speculation. People could have - and probably did! - get rich off junk. Some years back, Chris Trew was asked in an interview why Stratis was valued so highly - he said he didn't know! Even Ethereum doesn't deserve the valuation it has. Until smart contracts and blockchain technology take off, no one knows which coins will survive in the long-term. And even then, just because a product is good doesn't mean it'll end up a winner: if an inferior chain is more popular, then it could eventually overcome its shortfalls and kill the competition.
Most of these projects are black boxes and the future is unknown, so no one has the right to brag about how a great a particular cryptocoin is, or where it's heading. They could all crash to zero within 5 years. One important factor is having enough money to stay the course - does Stratis? Things could get brutal later on and developers could leave to work on higher ranking projects - blockchain developers are in short supply, I read. Tell me what I've missed that makes you so certain this isn't the case?

See my previous post. I forgot to mention that someone said the reason Stratis went so high initially was because people thought it might be an Ethereum killer, but that wasn't the case! So, it's now got to succeed on different terms. The fact that Stratis is apparently working with the UK government on one or more pilot projects is NO endorsement at all. The British government is known to work with numerous shady private firms, such as Capita - nicknamed Crapita! - and Atos, a French technology company involved in assessing whether disabled and seriously ill people are fit for work, which has led to thousands of deaths and suicides - google "atos mirror suicide" and "calumslist".
The UK government also paid a large sum of money for a rather crappy program that could have been written in a couple of days by any undergraduate with some programming knowledge - it was clearly nepotism! There's also been numerous and expensive IT project failures because the UK government goes with the cheapest option. I could go on and on, but you get my point!
Here's just one article about a corrupt firm supported by the UK government at MASSIVE public expense that eventually collapsed:

Yes, beware the FUDsters, but also beware the shills who don't care if other people lose their money. At the end of the day, it has to be the investor's call - he/she should be allowed to read the negative comments along with the positive ones - as opposed to CENSORED information. If you have incontrovertible evidence that Stratis is going to soar in value eventually, provide us with the links!
Finally, I must declare a conflict of interest.
Normally, I'm paid to FUD other coins, but I'm trying to get my employer - a blue whale investor! - to see Stratis as the potential threat that it is to give myself some extra work - I'm hoping to go on a one month luxury cruise in December and I could do with the extra cash.
