DO you have any idea how many ico shitcoins are claiming to be the next ico platform / smart contract / masternode / staking ethereum killer?
Every one of their bitcointalk threads is full of die hard hodlers like you who keep saying "ignore the price" or "wow look how high we are compared to all time low"
"great time to load up on *shitcoin#443* " its getting really sad

I know a bloody shitcoin when I see one. I've been involved in the crypto scene for damn near 6 years. Yes I have a good damn idea of this space; I know that there are several coins that make outlandish claims about this or that and get pumped to the moon price-wise with absolutely bugger all to show for it. Stratis, as of the past 12 months, and last month and next few weeks especially, actually has something to show for it.

If you bothered to take your time to read articles such as:

And bothered to follow the developments of the platform, and the recent releases that will make a FUNCTIONAL, WORKING PRODUCT WITH ACTUAL USE CASE, you'd bloody know this.

But instead, because the price and volume is currently not to your satisfaction, you decide to revert to old, tired and sad adjectives such as "shitcoin". If there is anything I've learned during my years in crypto, it's that the price rarely reflects the actual fundamentals and tech. Most coins, by and large, simply rely on hype and word of mouth, no matter what they actually offer to the crypto space. It's a sad state of affairs, but it is what it is.

I'd definitely agree with you that this is a shitcoin were it not for all the progress in tech that has actually been made in the past year or two. But the evidence is now here for all to see unless you're a FUDding troll. So please crawl back to your cave.

I don't ever promote "loading up" on X coins...do whatever makes sense to you and do your own damn research. But evident FUDding for no reason and with a complete lack of constructive criticism ("LULZ, INVESTOR CONFIDENCE AND VOLUME IS LOW, ERGO THIS COIN MUST BE SHIT") is partly a reason why the crypto space is currently in a dire state right now and why there are so many genuine shit and scamcoins out there - the swamp needs to be drained and this bear market will hopefully give us just that.

The price of coin X could tank to 0 for all I care. But to argue that coin X is a shitcoin based on its price/volume is fundamentally flawed on so many levels.

Alright! YA CAUGHT ME! Pretty good FUD tho right?

Nah, too obvious mate.
