Stratis just announced its updated roadmap for the first and second quarter of 2018! I've got to say,guys.. I'M EXCITED!!!
I've been telling people for a while now what should happen to the stratis price once products get into Full Production Release. In one simple word: MOON!
Did you know that Stratis pretty much incorporates all the main features that most of the top coins in CMC have?! And beside that they offer extensive consultancy services for entreprises and corporates to help them "get" into the blockchain era?
So let's break apart and analyse the roadmap:
ICO Platform
As you can see this product is in full production release. That's not a surprise as Gluon and Beyond Global Trade,the first two flagship ICOs on the Stratis platform will launch in the next few weeks. Both of these ICOs already have a working product and/or services,but I will cover them in another blog post. They are mind-blowing, I assure you. Below is an screenshot of the test ico that was run on the platform ~2 months ago if I remember good:
Full Node GUI & Full Node
The developers have been working extensively for a long time on these ones. I have tested both of them on a VPS from Vultr running Ubuntu 16.04 and beside some build errors on my side, they worked wonders. This GUI will be the stratis legacy replacement for the classic QT wallet. As you can see in the below image the design is modern and clean hence I'm sure it will be polished before the mainnet or production release. Credits to Benoît Philibert for the GUI!
Breeze Privacy Protocol
The long awaited product and technology from Stratis that is yet to disrupt the privacy industry. Imagine privacy coins like ZEC,XMR,DASH,etc. becoming useless as people will be able to anonymously transact their bitcoins using TumbleBit and implicitly the Breeze Privacy Protocol. Also I believe that all that turnover that is running through mixing services will be redirected to this premium solution. The team has been conducting extensive internal testing of the wallet with coin safety as a top priority. Taking into account the enormous amount of money flow that is going to go through the wallet there has to be a perfect product especially on the security part. I don't worry about that as they have one of the best cybersecurity experts in the niche, Jeremy Bokobza.
Sidechains & Smart Contracts
These two products are still to be released in their alpha versions, but when they get into production-ready ETH & NEO will be a small babies. Blockchain Generation, Blockchain Customization technologies combined with the sidechains will make Stratis a powerful,rich in features platform.
Stratis Identity
The Secure Blockchain Identity Management solution build by Stratis with enterprise developers in mind. The devs need to add some features for the Apple iOS release. Once those are integrated, the application will be re-submitted for Apple's verification.
Stratis Academy
Stratis is dedicated towards building a global .NET and C# blockchain developer community. On this matter the Stratis Academy will be created and offer some extensive courses for developers and blockchain enthusiasts.
CONCLUSION: I can confidently state that Stratis has the "full package"! And at the current price of 0.00091930 BTC/ $7.87 is a BARGAIN! My price prediction for this year:
0.01 BTC/STRAT ATH
OVER 0.005 BTC May-June
OFFICIAL STRATIS BLOG POST: https://stratisplatform.com/2018/02/13/stratis-development-roadmap-update/
Stratis will hold particular significance to me as it was the first thing I bought other than Bitcoin.
That was one of the scariest moments of my life sending $750 dollars over to changelly and wondering if I'd just f@#ked myself as I waited for it to appear in my wallet.
I still keep 10 STRAT in the old wallet as a reminder.
Nice post.
Thank you for the comment! You should be getting Stratis directly from an exchange like binance,bittrex or poloniex. When buying it from a swap service like Changelly you pay more fee,but you have less headache if you are a newbie. ;)
Yeah at the time I couldn't be bothered creating yet another account just to save 0.25% on the exchange commission rate with respect to rex and polo. Though I know with changelly you have to watch what rate they give you on the actual coin value, as that's how they stiff you on losing 10% etc when not looking elsewhere, so the whole 0.5% is misleading by them.
To be honest I have been using Binance with the BNB coin option switched on, and that suits me fine for crypto to crypto trades. That and Kucoin has given me a decent range of options.
Pushed in about as much fiat as I am going to now through Coinbase, so really what I am looking for is a better option for getting money back out when the time comes. Though not intending that to be for at least a couple of years, if not more. So I'm sure by then I'll be able to find a good exit path. Or just spend crypto when that becomes a reality. Assuming it will as that's the point of some crypto projects at least.
Follow back I have follow you
It doesn't work like this, Waheed. If you post quality content and really bring value to other people, I will follow you. Just be nice and try to engage with the steemians.
