So what are we looking at here? this is the OG in the node space, STRONG is the true mother of all NaaS projects. I am not invested in this but I do know that STRONG is the biggest catalyst for an uptrend and the future of the present/upcoming node projects. All these cryptos are pretty simple. in order for the early investors to make profits, new money has to flow in. it's pretty basic ponzienomic at play here. I like to be an early investor so I will skip STRONG for now until I see some breakthrough in their tokenomics
According to STRONG Twitter page, they are about to release a v2 of their coin. A new chain and somehow implement the NaaS contract into the new version, which is great for the utility of the nodes as a whole. I guess we have to wait and see how this pans out in the long run. something I do know is that they have the support of their followers and the rest of the NaaS people. With a forward-thinking and charismatic team, this might not die in the short run and might as well be good for the NaaS community and make it prosper.
As I mentioned before, I don't like to be late for projects and do prefer to look for newer ones. here are some projects to have in mind in my opinion: hive investments, aleph finance, project Europa, corkscrew finance, valifi app, and etherstones, they are not like the other projects out there, with roadmaps that stand out and a good community that believes in them. And my personal favorite due to its stability, Polar nodes.
the road to financial freedom might be tough but here we do have a shot, so compound and do some decisions based on price action and you might reach your goals someday. it's worth a try.
