Sh8tcoin? Hhmm I am not really sure with that but afaik stratis was once a popular coin and a top coin.
Not until it isn't.
With a billion dollar market cap, the project definitely remain in the top 8 in CMC[1]. However, the.NET and C# smart contract platform they provide appears to have failed, and neither investors nor the developer community appear to be interested in the services they provide. Now, the stratis Dev team decided to initiate this nonsense involving a token swap and altering the inflation rate after they ran out of money and needed to re-fund their failing project[2].

Sometime it isn't, given their circumstances before they do the token swap. If the developer decides to change the concensus rules, it is highly likely that it's failing in the first place.
Normally, when doing a token swap/coin swap, like the IOTA one, there is a time window in which you must claim in. If you don't claim within that time window then you lose your funds. Sometimes, if you're lucky, like in the case of CNDL coin. They launch a token before the mainnet and you can choose to swap or keep trading the token on Ethereum. In that case there is no time window. I'm not sure which is the case for Stratis.
