What a freaking joke. This is more false hype. No way in hell Microsoft would want to buy Stratis out. Stratis is a joke in terms of competiton. Yes it went up greatly since the ICO, but it's essentially comparable to Lisk in relation to Ethereum. Trying to create market hype because of its leverage of C#/.NET. Ethereum's Solidity already has compatibility with every language. Same way you can build iOS apps without using XCode directly.

It's like me creating a fast food chain specifically designed for people who drive convertible cars, and then claim that McDonalds may want to buy me out. LOL.

Great way to get a little boost of the share price for a cash grab before it goes lower though. I know people high up at Microsoft. No one even knows what Stratis is - on the Azure team.

Way to have your head so far up the clouds you're having trouble standing on your feet. It's like an ugly fat woman claiming that even though she lost 50 beauty contests, it's only because she's too good and Miss America wants her to be #1, but she knows she's so good she won't even enter, because she's too good for them.

Someone must be on their period like the bloodbath that is currently going on. Chris simply answered a question that was asked directly to him. He never said anything about Stratis is being bought.

Oh really? What an innocent question. How naive. You mean just like all the people who used to ask questions about coins on the Poloniex Trollbox, to build up hype? If I go to Twitter and ask Vitalik if he ever wonders whether Microsoft will buy out Ethereum, and then he actually responds with a dreamy/egotistical comment, don't you think that's false marketing? No professional organization would bring up some thing like that. In a regulated market like the stock exchanges, such talk is actually very prone to investigations by the SEC, if not illegal.

Why? Because it creates a presumption that the said entity has higher perceived value and falsifies the possibility of some sort of buyout, which there is no possibility of. I would love to see the insider selling at the precise moment of that question/answer and this forum post. Too bad the market data for that is hidden and easily covered up.

If you had a crypto currency that was behind schedule on its roadmap, that had fallen over 75% in value (compared to the USD) in roughly a month of time, would you be busy fixing the problems or hyperbolizing false narratives and dreamy/egotistical comments on Slack? Even then, I'd take Stratis far more seriously if Chris was responding to real concerns and questions, most of which get shutdown. People are getting kicked out of Slack. There's some BS about lots of spam, which is simply not true. Chris can't handle the backlog of complaints and pressure from people who bought high, only see their money burn.

If you bought Stratis at $10, good luck even breaking even in this lifetime. Stratis was a very well-timed pump-n-dump, coordinated by a whale group (we all know who). I don't know for a fact whether Chris is involved with the pump-n-dump whale group, but I can tell his methods of marketing and providing information are very sketchy.

Why would a lead/founder of a crypto asset give heads up that there will be a blog post? Giving a heads up about 'news' is essentially a way of creating hype about news. From what I have seen here and in Slack, Chris and the fanboys are too busy claiming "Stratis should be in the top 3" rather than explaining why it belongs in the Top 50. Why does Stratis deserves so much credibility when it has essentially no actual users. Where is the adoption? Where are the businesses? Stratis only has hype.

I'm shocked that Chris of all people would make claims that Stratis will have a market cap of X amount, or that it should be whatever number spot in the top coin market lists. That's the type of claim that should be reserved for speculators and investors, not the founder of the coin. I have screenshots from Slack where he made these claims. Founders should not be making speculative claims about their share price. Again, this is an unregulated market, but any respectable coin separates themselves from price speculation and hype about their own asset. And if they don't, it's proof of a pump-n-dump, in my opinion.

Chris never even mentioned anything about hoping or expected to be bought out by microsoft. I don't know where that bullshit came from.
Did the team ask this coin to fly to 10 dollars? I surely haven't seen it. Maybe the slack community group wanted it but the team was neutral as hell in that discussion. So it must be the same group of whales that pumped all other coins and meaningless ICO's in the top 100 since last april.
The altcoin market is so easily manipulated nowadays I wonder if it's not just a small group of megawhales.

Yes last friday between 8:30pm and 12:00+ we had a massive amount of spam on slack so what you're stating here is pure bullshit. I was there myself. Go look in the slack logs if the mods haven't already been so kind enough to prune that spam from it.
People getting kicked out of slack? Can you give me some names for example so I can verify what the hell has happened to them?

Giving a heads up about a blog post? Are you really going to make a point of that? It's called transparency in my book. You can see for yourself that the news they've given a heads up in the past few weeks did not influence the market one bit so this 'hype' you're talking about is clearly an overstatement.

'Where is the adoption? Where are the businesses?' Are you even up to date on the current status of the project and it's development? You're clearly not. Some key features that would make it interesting for businesses to jump on the platform are still being developed and are on the roadmap to complete this year. It looks like everybody in this crypto space expects every project to go from zero to completion within it's first year/months of development. Come on is any team/business realistically going to be able to pull that off? I don't think so. So why is this team slightly behind on it's roadmap? Well the simple answer here is that tech has to be carefully developed and there can always be expectations that are skewed from what a developer would expect. I think the team also expected to have more developers join the team earlier but I think they started that recruiting a little too late. Plus existing developers have contracts of their own where they have a legal obligation to keep working for x weeks since they terminated their contact so that is also causing delays.

'I'm shocked that Chris of all people would make claims that Stratis will have a market cap of X amount, or that it should be whatever number spot in the top coin market lists.' First of all, All that chris has done is to set an ambitious goal for his project to be a top 3 player. What any single other person thinks about the position of stratis in the market is an oppinion of their own. Whether this project will get there at all will remain to be seen. It's a goal to aim for not a goal that can be met with 100% certainty. If you want to know my opinion of it; I think they have a great opportunity to make a difference with their current business plans. If that's going to be a top 3 coin I'm not sure that all depends on the business adoption and the further plans they have when they have a product to move.

Before you're going to bitch about my post count on this forum I'm a lurker I don't care to join the discussion that much because I prefer other channels for that.
