Do you have any evidence for that. It sounds like you have gone from being too positive about the coin to the other extreme now, where you are seeing everything negatively.

Stratis had Nic Dorier on board from an early time, and an idea that was different enough. I don't see any reason to say or insinuate that the Stratis team misled people.

Personally I think the price really has some work to do if it is going to go up.

The thing that I suspect is that so many people bought so many at lower prices that this situation needs to unwind.

I had a lot of Stratis at one time but have been  selling for some time, buying some back at times but always selling more. I have less than a third of what I had when it peaked, but like all these projects the price is driven by psychology and supply and demand. We are getting close to a good buy area I think...but m'eh I could be wrong it's hard to know with these things.
It's very common for the mood to get very negative at good buying points....just as when the coin peaked people on here were thinking it would never stop "

We can see this in this thread. As the price falls and remains weak, people come and say "I told you so" they say the team is dishonest (but don't supply evidence) they criticize more strongly.

We see this phenomenon repeated over and over in markets everywhere, not just crypto
