What does everyone think the price per WAVE will open at?

20k sat?

really hopeful the project is going to be of help for users. do you think one wave will be a $1?

It probably wont open there, but will probably eventually get there and beyond. If the devs can deliver what they are going after.

I think Waves = $ 10!

If devs deliver $1+ easily reachable.

might need to add another one on the right, what price should be at 1 year or 2

the project take time for mass adoption.

Was there an ico for this coin or is it only the signature campaign thats used to distribute the first few coins before mining?  maybe worth buying a few of these just in-case . fomo and all that =p

Just had a look over the announcement thread and cant quite see if you can buy into the ico or not.

They are collecting $400 Bitcoins (more than 5000 BTCs invested till now, and 4000+ of them in the first day with %20 bonus, which makes me believe they have some big time investors); but their release date will most probably be around Bitcoin halving, with $God- knows-how-much Bitcoins, and not $400 BTCs.

Now one of the important questions is, that will people think: I've bought my Waves X satoshis, so I won't sell them cheaper than that, or they say: I've bought my Waves for $X, so I won't sell them cheaper than that?  ;D

If people think satoshi-wise, maybe HODLing waves from ICO will be a better strategy than HODLing Bitcoins.  ;)

Is there anywhere that shows what the current ico price is? At the moment i can buy into the ico but it doesnt actually say what price i will be buying at? Am i missing something?

Realistically speaking and as it stands:
5445.83 BTC have been raised.

According to this spreadsheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xxP6h3zFVtGbhmKT4yjBdRd4oC77CQ4R623TFWjA_qo/htmlview#gid=1885855148 (which is relatively accurate or at least a good basis to work from) we can get a reasonable idea of the price direction waves is headed for.

Based on a presale amount of 6400 BTC the current price per wave is 0.028 usd/7529 satoshi... lets round it off and call it 0.02 usd/7000 satoshis per wave considering the current presale amount stands at under 6000 BTC. Using the same spreadsheet and if the ICO/presale hits 13200 BTC (which is a realistic end of presale number) one wave will cost 0.058usd/15529 satoshi. For arguments sake lets say at launch when waves is added to exchanges an additional 15000 btc worth of waves (ball park figure) are bought by investors within the first week/2weeks/month... that means (at least speculatively) a single wave will be worth more or less 0.16 usd... beyond speculation this is of course relative to the bitcoin price which is on the rise...  realistically and on a high note 0.3 to 0.5 usd per wave is an accurate entry level number to expect (which is a good thing because more people will buy).

I have no doubt in the potential of this coin and I wont be surprised if we see 10 usd within the first 12-16 months after its release.

Cant help but think that you may be extremely optimistic with your prediction. That would put this coin basically ahead of any other coin excluding bitcoin which i will assume will be around the 400 dollar mark by the time this releases. Eth i think has given people a bit of jope for upcoming coins but i think we need to be wary not to get dragged into buying coins over hype.

Waves is revolutionary project and i think price will be over $5 at the launch for sure.

Interesting and valid point. Ether definately surpassed expectations. I dont think 0.3 - 0.5 usd is unrealistic at least as a start. I can see this coin headed for 5 dollars at some point per say. What makes you say the btc price will be around 400 dollar mark taking into consideration the upcoming halving?

the reason i believe it will stay the same is because (and i hate this saying) its priced in. If you look at the last halving it took 2 months before there was any effect on the market, and the massive rise that came 2 months after the event doesn't necessarily mean it was due to the halving. I Do hold bitcoin so i hope im wrong and it goes to $100000000000 per coin or whatever but im not too convinced that it will. We can dream i suppose ;)

This is a very realistic break down. The thing that matters the most is the initial market cap. The smaller the better, since it will mean higher multiples when the project is a success.

Who knows? It depends a lot on the market conditions when it starts trading, as well as the FOMO level 'round here. As long as enough folks get the idea that WAVES is the new Lisk & Ethereum, there'll be a big pop after trading starts.

Waves isn't the new Lisk, its different and more interesting for my taste.

too early now. probably 0.4/0.5$

Eh, any of the above posters could be right and this could be the next big thing...who knows.  I may have to gamble with this one.  Is it going to be traded on any of the exchanges any time soon?

True, but reasoning-by analogy is all that I've got. If I had to stick to "I dunno," I couldn't run my keyboard. ;)

If mainet launches with everything working, then $1 easy. Every financial institution that joins will push it up even more. Waves still needs to support more currency and have assets that retain value if it really wants to blow up imo.

Are you serious about that?
Waves = $10
Many of people will be rich after the Ico.
But I'm not pretty sure waves is $10.

It will be over 1 sat for sure.  ;D

Since it is speculation thread, any one could give a unreasonable price, like $20 or $30. But when the mainnet is launched, the market will tell us.

If i had to guess then i would think the price would start around the $0.03 per wave. Hopefully going up after launch as well. $10 would be great and everything but i think not so realistic.

Depends on how many coins the team bought from themselves. The more they did the higher the price can be.

if everything goes smooth we should see 1$ 6-13months after ICO

under 10K sat than , 1 years could be 0.70$

At least $1 at launch. It looks very useful and that is what drives up price and demand in crypto is ease of use and the usefulness of the coin.

Seriously? You think Waves at launch will be valued at over $100 million, just behind Litecoin and ahead of coins like Dash, MaidSafe, etc.?

Don't you guys think It'd at least reach $5 in the first year? Besides, don't you think that this system that they want to incorporate is better for banks the higher the price?

Depends on how many btc they raise in the ico. Either way, everyone gets their fair share.

Tai Zen did 3 nice videos on Waves. He mentions some great advantages and Risks. Off the top of my head, the 2 (yeah, only 2) guys behind Waves (Which is based on the NXT platform - a good thing imo) are tech guys, zero marketing experience. So, the word needs to get out there (and they have the money to do so.) Worth watching.

Not sure what the price will be but if they use a reasonable amount of BTC to market Waves, and if the platform does perform, they will probably do ok.

Its about sharing

I don't think it will reach $10 though. waves has been promoted massively and if eople hyped it like how they did on ETH, it may somehow reach $5. that may just be the peak of it.
How useful can this wave be by the way?

As much as id like it to hit 5 dollar, theres 2 chances of that, Slim and none. even if the ico gets to 10000 btc thats roughly 4.5 mil for the ico across 100 million coins. It would take some serious investment from people post ico to bring it up to 5 dollars per coin. Obviously not impossible but something that very few coins have managed to do so far. 99% of coins just dissapear down the drain.

I am quite sure price will be over $2 when Waves will come there, Waves have more power and potential to go the moon there.

The Wavesplatform GUI v0a is looking a bit better after 34 commits, preview in http://supereth.github.io/WavesUI/

this is good and fast work  :o :o :o :o

I think the question is how unique and revolutionary is the Waves platform going to be? While it is correct that a majority of coins go "down the drain," I think it's clear that Waves is not your ordinary coin right from the start. So for me price speculation for Waves really centers on how unique and successful one believes they can be with this project. The potential for something special seems to be here.

I dont think it has much to do with how "revolutionary" the idea is. I think 90% comes down to having the necessary resources and the ability of the Devs to execute.

Stay tuned ;)

Waves team is building first production system on top of Scorex framework where Waves token will be the fuel of whole platform and all transactions happening there, When you will be trading with other crypto currencies or fiat which will be represented there as tokens, Waves token will be used, when you are transferring assets, Waves token is used, when you are withdrawing asset in form of currency to your wallet, Waves token is used. When someone is issuing the asset Waves token is used. When all other projects will be using Waves platform, the same Waves token will be used for all their operations. Other currencies will be just supported on the platform. Focus is on custom asset creation, lite client, end-user, no blockchain download, decentralized exchange, asset-asset trading, fiat assets, working with payment providers from the start and being decentralized kickstarter at the same time. Waves will have own transaction types also. Other features and apps/plugins center will be appearing in meantime.

$5+ is reachable.

+1 +1 +1 +1 +1

i say its somewhere around 1-2$
but i wouldn't be surprised if its  .40 - .75

Ok this is quite interesting. You need to give more details than just a tease. This is because Mycelium is looking for a crowdsale, and would be very positive if it's done on Waves, but I don't think they will considering their time frames and Waves is still unproven. If it's just a wallet creation, that's less bullish.

0.5 cents....too low? Maybe in a couple of months we can see a 5 dollars per wave.

I think that we are on the good hands to have a really good product. ;)

I think it will open between $0.10 - $0.50 cents per Wave.

Beyond opening, who knows.

Even a 100M$ Market Cap seems possible at the moment.
But let's see.

Certainly possible, but hard to see it not being dumped heavily if it opens near there.

Slow and steady wins the race.

Haha.
I guess you're right.
I would probably dump a part of my bag at 1$.
So... ;D

As my speculation i think 50 sat each will be the price of waves after you can see it in the market places...
And i think more dump will be happen about waves.. in near future..

50 sat?   Probably you are thinking in dogecoin. The price of Waves will be high.

How big is the Marketcap right now?

And what is going on here?
https://yobit.net/en/trade/WAVES/BTC

If you want to speculate then WAVES is already trading at double what LISK was on YoBit's iou's.

There's also going to be buy walls and support on exchange launch at or above ico price.

The team have already confirmed, then deleted, the intention of major interested parties in the chat.

*Several major exchanges are now lined up according to staff in the chat.

Aside from that LISK imo already has blockchain problems. I don't believe in the team AT ALL. They messed up the launch and ETH for me is so much better as an alternative.

WAVES would also appear to work better with ETH. Hence I love being invested in these two.

There are many other things as-well but I'm not going to write a whole blog post.

(This is a generic post as I'm struggling to keep up with all the speculative WAVES threads)

does anyone have more infor on this?  will we be able to deposit in one currency and than withdraw from a different currency without going through an exchange???



or does it mean that you can withdraw as any currency once you own waves?

How?

has sasha  got this actually finished and compliant with trade laws?

Guys, keep in mind that saying Waves will be traded at 1$ means a marketcap of 100 million dollars and at $10 means a marketcap of 1 billion dollars. Now compare these numbers to ETH numbers. Waves will have to dig a lot to get to the price you are willing it to go.

Those numbers might me achieved at long term if the project succeeds. This will depend on MANY factors....this is not a get rich overnight game.

50 - 85 cents is my current prediction.

Idk about that. The crowdsale way surpassed Sasha's expectations, and it makes sense the market cap climb will do the same (Way before the ico ended Sasha said he expects the market cap to be $100m within a year). We obviously have a very popular idea on our hands here.

It would be nice if the opening price was at least 50 cents then rising to a dollar or two but no idea how ICO peeps will handle it and sometimes ICO peeps they go below ICO price for the whales to scoop up and buy, it can go anyway in the beginning.

I would be real surprised if Waves went under the ICO price for any significant amount of time. I was more worried about Lisk dipping than I am Waves.  If it does dip, I plan to buy more at different percentages.

waves for is acting weird when the waves was releasing it in yobit.. they are now resetting the ico price.. they are starting the price of 0.025 btc until the price goes down into 50k sat.. and they announce of resetting it.. waves looks like the same as lisk..

I think it will be easily above 80000 satoshi. Maybe if you put different ranges for voting options you could see more healthy results. Most people already think that the price will be more than 80k sat.

If it follows the same pattern that 90% of the coins follow, it will be released, the market will dump to collect profits, then it will gradually pick back up.  This seems like a good project, so i wouldn't worry too much about price right off the bat,  just HOLD your coins.

This topic was created long before the waves ICO ended. At the time everybody thought waves will raise as much as lisk did, and nobody thought it would raise 2x more. If the OP knew waves will rise 30K BTCs he would have doubled every option! ;)

I think the price will settle around 65k sats that's about 2x

i think so. after all the potentials it may bring to the crypto table people will still dump it. but It will gradually rise after all the dumping.
 it may drop to 30000 and then starts to climb after users get to hold.

My guess is waves will start at 3 time the ICO price and will stay at 70k sat to 650k sat a piece if some people to decide to sell right of the bat we may see a 40k sat a piece.

in my opinion it will start at 3-4xICO, then drop to ICO (because of lot of awards to members), and then back to 5xICO

If BTC continues to rise, it may even go to the ICO price at start.

$1 per wave seems reasonable

This may be the case, but I don't think it will be this consistent.

With the price of bitcoin going up so much now i actually wouldnt be surrised to see the price drop below ico buy price just so people can reclaim back some of the money they have spent. Even by selling below ico they will still have more profit than they did to begin with.

Things are not going well in WAVES. There are only broken promises, one shitty exchange and no development announcement. I hope we won't lose our money just like ETH and DAO did. If it goes up 50k sat I'll dump all my 50k WAVES.

When are other exchanges going to happen I thought polo was next

I'm suprised to see it trading so low, to be honest.

Give it time, sellers will sell into stronger hands.

is there anything going for waves that could help raise the price?

Its going to take a good few months before price  can rise,   there is 100 million out there with no more to be mined so it was expected to start off low until the coins get into more hands. 

You need to pay better attention.

So am I. Another short-term speculation that's turned into a long-term investment. ;)
