Hands down Stratis is the most undervalued project in crypto space. Finished product and starting to onboard the customers. The huge C# developer scene will do the rest. But people need to find out about it and Stratis Team is very quiet with their nearly non existent marketing strategy. This machine needs some fuel to get to the second gear or it will slow down and be replaced by a newer model.
I know the CEO played it excellent. No money wasting and focusing on tech. They achieved a lot so far but isn't it the time to show your product to the world?
I know it is easy to criticize and I'm sorry if anyone feels bad with it. No FUD intended.
The reality is that nobody is using this tech, the biggest thing on ETHEREUM, the multi bullion dollar blockchain was crypto kitties. There is nothing of any use to anyone in this space, its all completely over hyped useless technology at the moment. Nothing of any value has happened yet anywhere in this entire space.
I would personally say that the biggest application of the tech so far has been as a vehicle for getting money to new ideas; the "killer app" for 2017 was ICOs. So in that sense I agree that crypto has got a hell of a lot to prove. ICOs were a hotbed for scams and misguided allocation of wealth, so even the killer app was a mixed bag. Now, after a year or so, the majority of those projects that got funded are struggling to deliver on the promises they raised money on.
That said, I believe that there are genuinely valuable applications of the underlying tech besides cash-grabbing. Gluon, for example, who are building on top of the Stratis Platform, integrate blockchain tech to achieve something with their product which would not be possible without the cryptocurrency. Moreover, I believe that there are general applications which benefit from achievable distributed consensus. Nakamoto consensus isn't just good for hard money, I believe it's valuable in many areas that require coordination between mutually untrusting parties when coming to some agreement about the state of some system.
I DO think that a lot of crypto is a solution looking for a problem. However, that does not mean that I believe that there aren't problems for which crypto tech does provide a better solution. The Stratis Platform is a modular blockchain tech development kit. It can be the platform to host those solutions.
Time will tell. The tech is still incredibly young. Bitcoin is well on the way to demonstrate the worth of dist. consensus tech when it comes to hard money. Within the next ten years, maybe, we will know whether the broader crypto space has a raison d'etre or not.
