I do think 2018 is the year for Platforms (as well as Regulation) as this year a lot more attention will come to this space from Institutions and individuals. Future Quality ICO’s will need enhanced access as well as better security than just a DDOS proof website.
A good platform coin can also adapt to the future requirements and regulations by adding, modifying or withdrawing certain functionality in a short space of time if it is an OG coin or has a strong core development team. I think Stratis has All of these attributes. Peace!
