Excellent job stratis team!
I am really excited to see every deadline met for this project more than being a long term investor. It is okay for large ICO holders to sell since they helped the project accomplish the first wave of deadlines. Eventually new holders or smaller holders will grow to retain the tokens to ensure the support is still there for entry and growth. Allowing the developer to do their work is what makes this project fascinating. Honestly, every project has potential to grow and succeed, and for me to be positive in this idea is to ensure the cryptocommunity continues to flourish and expand to grow into something greater than a few bits and pieces of cash here and there. It is understandable for people to want to buy/sell to improve financial gains, as long as they have a plan.
A good read for long term investors to think about when investing into anything especially with volatility of Bitcoin/altcoin projects:
Warren Buffet's Ground Rules by Jeremy C. Miller, "If we start deciding, based on guesses or emotions, whether we will or won’t participate in a business where we should have some long run edge, we’re in trouble. We will not sell our interest in businesses (stocks) when they are attractively priced just because some astrologer thinks the quotations may go lower even though such forecasts are obviously going to be right some of the time. Similarly, we will not buy fully priced securities because ‘experts’ think prices are going higher"
In the end, it's based on one's own perspective and research to mandate his/her decisions. No matter what you invest, when the money comes out and goes to another hand, you are entrusting the risk for the return. As for now, I am glad for the Stratis Team's accomplishments and the pace that they are going to update the timeline. I would say the same of any project that are putting some contribution to the cryptocommunity and sharing the ideas to the world.
