With the Chinese stance on ICO bringing down Chinese smartcontract platforms, it seems that people have found a reason to pump Stratis. I'd be really careful - posted some of this before in other forums.
Also this guy did a really good research on a lot of red flags with Stratis, you should read it:

- For a C# smart contract platform (using a language that a ton of people already know well), development community and technical talk in forums is non-existent (look at early Ethereum technical discussions in reddit, there is NOTHING anywhere for Stratis)
- the CEO talks a lot of fluff and provides virtually zero technical knowledge
- there seem to be like maybe 1-2 developers behind it, that's it
- the full node has been downloaded maybe by a dozen people, total number of downloads for all versions is tiny for a top #20 crypto
- virtually non-existent communication from the development team
- a lot of non-technical people who seem to have bought it pumping it with fluff articles, blogs and youtube video
- Hype about releasing Breeze Wallet pumps up the price months back, then never released, then release hype then delay, months later we get hype again

That analysis says the following.

In short, it is my opinion that Stratis is a scam, likely perpetrated by the founders and members of the organization. I wouldnt be surprised if they own most of the coins
That is obviously FUD
Does that person truly believe the founders own most of the coins? Really?
the reviewer also goes on to say.

Considering that they make no reasonable case anywhere on their website to garner actual business clients (as opposed to just trying to get people to buy their coins), youd think they must have a very pro-active commercial marketing and development team: actively pitching companies on the benefits of Stratis Consulting and Implementation.
Stratis is one of the only projects to actually get a paying customer. So that reviewer was clearly off the mark.
Can anyone here name another project with a paying business customer?
