Perspective (or hopium? you be the judge). The "great reset" by @WithoutTheRope has positioned $Strngr $Strong to succeed, arguably putting them in a stronger (no pun intended) position than they have ever been. Obligatory multiple tweets to explain why:
1. A few days ago the 600k (or whatever) announcement was annoying. As more nodes = more "debt" to the node holders. This is no longer the case. More nodes now means more buying pressure as the nodes taper or expire. This cannot be understated, it has a big impact moving forward
2. The $Strngr transition solved the issue of exchanges not listing StrongBlock due to enough tokens. There's 500k and 1.5M in the background which can be unleashed. This means Binance, Coinbase, etc are now viable options. Don't know how easy it is though, but it is viable
3. With frustration comes a lot of narratives that are not true. We can question the "how" but they have delivered the $Strngr transition, entangled nodes, and mostly got rid of OG whale sell pressure. They are now on a level playing field with no such baggage
4. Addressing the elephants in the room. Yes it's still adopting ponzinomics and no, there is no utility as yet besides making nodes. In a recent AMA, @WithoutTheRope mentioned they have partners lined up but won't commit until StrongChain. Rose tinted glasses, or something real?
5. Recent action proves the team is RELENTLESS when it comes to sustainability, which is good for investors frankly. For the doubters (understandable), I ask, what haven't they done recently to address sustainability? The only thing is they were slow but they caught up now right?
6. Early critical mass is super important as it provides a buffer against better stuff. Look at #Ethererum, there is faster and "better", but chances are it will end up being the L1 with the most users. StrongChain should launch with 50k+ users, super desirable for app builders
7. TBH I don't know if nodes are critical. But given the recent issues with hacks, etc, ordinary folk (and companies) are prioritizing security. StrongChain should have 600K+ nodes on launch! Market it around security and that's an edge as a BAAS (even if it's marketing babble)
In closing, most $Strngr investors are not looking at StrongChain as the L1 to save us, we just want the token to reach triple digits and stay there. Will it? Who knows but given where we are now and where it was before, why won't it? BTW, $200 is still 80% lower than ATH!
Just wanting to add, I disappointed in the actions and misleading of the community by @Strongblock_io whether intentional or not. We are here to make money but that doesn’t mean integrity shouldn’t exist. They wronged us and seemed to just brush it off

Guys I'm still trying to digest the $Strngr $Strong announcement. Having most of my nodes being S1 ETH, I don't know the impact fully to me yet as an investor. But when I try to look at it objectively, this move should is good for long term and these are the reasons why:
1. S1 ETH nodes are a liability on the protocol that's a fact. We cannot complain of prices dumping yet not accepting S1 ETH nodes to expire. Could it have been done in a different way? Maybe, but we don't know the inner workings and how this links to the items on the roadmap
2. Around 100k nodes expired when this announcement was made. So let's get rid of the narrative that @WithoutTheRope doesn't care about the PA as he is raking in monthly fees. This move should tell you that his number 1 priority is sustainability, and NOT investors
A narrative has popped up lately that @Strongblock_io and @WithoutTheRope doesn't care about the price action of $Strngr $Strong because they rake in millions of dollars worth of fees monthly anyway. I get it as there's a lot of frustration as the price has tanked big time,
with the lack of comms making it worse. But here's my take based on this based on some anecdotal factors which at least to me, kind of make sense. And also why I think the team is a lot more business savvy than many give them credit for
1. The end-game is a cross-protocol compatible StrongChain, processing millions of transactions daily with multiple Dapps running along with other good stuff. That's the real prize, not the in-between which is where we are now
