Very eloquently put.

There has been a very discernible shift in sentiment over the past month or so. Back when I first decided to invest in Stratis in mid-September, the price was somewhat static, but market sentiment was undeniably bullish and one could make a reasonable argument how the completion of specific milestones outlined in the road map could lead to significant gains over, say, a 6 month time horizon.

None of that holds true anymore, as the market has largely discounted the release of the full node framework later this month. The addition of, in my view, purely gimmicky anonymity features has correctly been identified by market participants as a mere stop-gap, diversionary measure, and the price reflects this.

As things stand now, the only hope for salvation is real world institutional adoption, which is a long shot. If history is any guide the project will fail to gain any traction and the price will slowly trend lower towards oblivion, as funds run out and the team moves on to other projects.
