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'm really not trying to say "ignore the price" or even "wow look how high we are compared to all time low", I was just talking about the behaviour of Strat on the markets, and the observations we can make about that behaviour.

The price has sucked for everyone who bought Strat after this time last year. The price has sucked for pretty much anyone who bought any crypto in December 2017. In fact, I have a friend who bought Stratis at £3.40 November 2017 and sold that Stratis at £13.60 in January, 4X her initial investment, which was her target (very good planning tbh). She sold her Strat at very close to the top. However, she put that money into another crypto which has seen since a far sharper decline than Stratis: 98.8% as of today from the point at which she bought. Just goes to show that even people who sold a crypto at pretty much the top didn't necessarily walk away with the profits. This year has been brutal, no doubt about it. Calling out Stratis as being one of the worst market performers is demonstrably untrue, even in relatively short time frames.
