By the looks of it, $1 can be a reality soon. With the BTC split coming in Aug, things can go either way. But nevertheless, things will go green soon and i still believe Stratis is yet to reach its full potential..
And if ever Microsoft is to buy Stratis Platform, then we are in for a joy ride...
I have to disagree with your 1$ suggestion - however, with everything else you said I do strongly agree

One dollar price for Stratis means that somebody has to be willing to sell his/hers Strats - and accept that price.
Weak hands and surrender monkeys may do, but there's not any of them left here anymore.
One can offer a price of 1 dollar, but if there's nobody to take that offer - it's pointless.
In economy terms it's called a 'wall'
Edit: If you look at the largest Stratis wallets, do you really think that they are going to sell any Strats at the price of one dollar? Hardly, I would imagine. Or to be frank, never ever in this lifetime. And same goes with the smaller wallets. I, personally would sell my strats, if the price is right. For me it's 10 000$ per strat. Under that, there's no deal. My Strats, my choice.
You might think that I'm crazy. But I'm not. It's not crazy to set the price - but it is crazy to pay it
