Stratis is a great coin. It is one of my long-term coins.
The bad news is that the release of Masternodes with the Tumblebit feature has been delayed. The plan was initially to launch these on the mainnet in December but during Beta testing they have found some bugs that require fixing first
This is NOT bad news. This is good. It means the team is committed to produce high quality product.
Oh yes, long term it's good and it shows professionalism, but since we're all waiting for it anxiously, it's bad news because we have to wait longer! :)
I have been investing in cryptos for 2 years. I have learned that the best profit is long term. I bought XRP at the beginning of the year. I got tired because its price would not move and every other coin was going up. So, I sold whatever I had. :(
Lesson learned: When you own a stake in a good project, patience is good.
Yes, I do agree: once you're bought in and the project is good, just hodl the hell out of it.
It's why I still have my Stratis, even though it has been disheartening for the better part of 6 months. If nothing else seems to work, just hodl, is my go to strategy :)
