I bought waves a while back.  I always thought waves would be big and people say it would beat ETH.  Well besides the price going up a lot when every other coin went sky high a while ago, this coin has shown no progress at all.  The price has done nothing but drop down or when other altcoins go up, it barely goes up much.  Also most ppl definitely bought waves at higher than the current price.


What confuses me is how is this possible when there are so many updates and things going with waves?  Shouldn't the price at least go up a bit?

you keep saying "when other altcoins go up" as if Waves is the only coin dropping while everything else is rising! that is not true. all the altcoins are getting dumped these days because bitcoin price is rising, that is not something specific to Waves or any other altcoin, it is because people are exiting altcoins and going back to what they have always cared for investing in (that is bitcoin).

in altcoin market if you want profit, then you should learn how to trade instead of buying and bag holding and hoping for a rise. that strategy will never work.

Waves has huge community, Waves platform is open source Block chain platform for cutting edge dApps, Waves has its own DEX, In my prediction Wvws will be in top five in next year.

Waves is  huge community,huge company.Maybe we see no progress on waves this past few years but when the devs started to work on getting waves on the top it would be easy i assure you.Its just happend to be dormamt noe adays

Its very much controlled by the early investors who bought a ton of it. This token must have been worth much more along with ETH but were not growing because there ain't much dapps created on it and their platform has tons of scam tokens. I am one of those who also hold the token since 2016 but right now there is not much hope for it. If soon I can login to the account I have or perhaps when I receive the Vostoks, I might dump this as well.

The cryptocurrency market does not have a generally accepted means of price increase, every coin price answer to the demands for it at the exchange market and wave is not the only coin that did not rise during this bull run there are other coins with the same price decrease in the face of this rise. Wave is a great coin and I believe it will recover very soon.

Waves is a solid alt but very much prone to pump and dumps. Like all the alts this is nothing unusual, but the reality of things. If you want proof, lLook at how Waves price dropped to a few satoshis on binance for just a few minutes on April 17. This is an example of classical pump and dump. I had hoped that some of the ETH competitors, like Waves, would have replaced ETH by now. This is not happening and who knows if it will ever happen. Maybe all these "ETH replacements" should look for another "unique selling point" to market their coins. So Waves should probably find one too.

i'm really have faith on this coin once, something weird happened on 17 April 2019 masiv dump on binance, I don't know what the hack is that? then I simply sold my Waves . i'm losing trust with this coin .
yeah Waves is very overrated, there are so many coin better than waves like NEO, EOS, IOST etc.

2017 - news will usually pump the price
2018 - only few people buy the news


You are still living in 2017.
I don't think it is overrated. The price may not be performing well as people like you are expecting but the development is still going.

WAVE is always different. lol. It often moves contrary to the market. If you remember, when the market collapsed it increased up to $5. But I hope that it will not continue this kind of long.

The advantage of Waves is that it's one of the earliest altcoin and hence have a large community. Truth is, like many other altcoins, Waves has no serious real product, aside from Waves Dex with poor volume. I have a bad feeling that sooner or later, Waves will become an abandoned project.

Once upon a time I was a fan of waves platform. Not anymore! Their team really sucks. They have no interest to take the product to the next level by adding some features instead they focus more on partnerships and others.
Waves platform is really easy to use. Anybody can create a token easily unlike ethereum. No coding knowledge needed.

I just noticed that only waves did not grew from the top altcoins. I think, not only I noticed it ;D, and i want to buy some waves now, because price will grow up anyway if in the whole market the bull trend continues.

waves is good project, with smart contracts and decentralized exchange too, also  this project have strong community and smart dev
i believe for now waves price is undervalued my friend, you should increase your patience, soon or later waves price will increase my friend

news has never pumped any altcoin to want to start in 2017 or now. the pumpers have always pumped altcoins and they are not magicians so they can't pump any altcoin at any time. the timing has to be good and that altcoin should not already be pumped.
in 2017 the altcoins were pumping and have not yet been pumped so they could get pumps and they did do that. but in 2018 they were already super pumped so nobody could pump them anymore, instead they dumped them which is the next step.

WAVES is just a platform for shittokens due to its simplicity. This is a shame because it is actually a great project, but unless the cryptosphere gets cleaned up waves will continue to attract scam projects while good ones move to tezos, cardano, perhaps ethereum too

Actually, it is not that bad.

Their project is really good and their dex is better than most of dexes. But the problem is projects doesn't choose waves blockchain and because of that their price stays low.

I think the problems with Waves is that it is so easy to issue tokens on the platform that many really useless tokens have been created and that has damaged the platforms reputation. I have about 50 different wave tokens in my wallet that I never asked for, they are just spam that got airdropped to me. The spammers did not even bother to give them decent names. They are called Atoken, Btoken, Ctoken, Dtoken....etc.

Basically, almost all of the altcoins are listed to a Decentralized Exchange, or what do you really means when you say, it has its own DEX? Am I mistaken? I wonder really if you are pertaining to an exchange like forkdelta, or maybe assuming that this coin is listed on a DEX? Sorry please enlighten me about it.

Waves have one of the biggest communities in crypto and they all love their coins. But i started to think they are not buying it because waves never care pumps on the crypto market. Is it overrated, not sure.

It is not like that some coins take more time and can give growth trends at their own unique time period, i do agree with you on price point and i think waves should have been better value wise because i rate it much bigger and better than many alt projects and i think it is both under rated and under valued at the time.

Waves is still a good coin, there's be a hype before saying that they can beat ETH that's why the price its price pumps high but right now there's no big progress at all. Its normal for a new coin to say they can beat the top coins that's the way to attract investors before, but of course if there's more coin to be made under waves platform for sure they its possible. If there will be more good coins under waves, then a chance to place on top is high but right now its more on a shitcoins and ended up a scam project.

Actually I think you have well observed this. The movement up is not like we see with some altcoins like etheruem but I know that waves is still a nice project.



And what would the devs possibly be waiting for when other altcoin is pumping while waves with large community platform is neither here nor there.

To some extent, yes.
They are quite popular among the crypocurrencies, but they have near zero use in real life. Most of the tokens on waves platform are scam or useless.
One of the reason for their popularity may be due to it's attempt to copy what's Ethereum was doing. There were very less such project when waves started but soon many advance projects came to rival with Ethereum that made waves obsolete.

I don't think Waves is the most overestimated project, but it's still one of the most overestimated, because it hasn't made much progress

I like Waves, and I think that this project is underrated, because it has a great usability and hugest potential for future growth. I believe in Waves.

It has to be the most redundant and un-innovative blockchain I have seen. Even tezos proves to be more worthwhile day by day with partnerships and continuous improvement on the network framework

Waves is a dead coin. Taking a photograph alongside of Vitalik Buterin won't make them a good token.
The concept was good but they were never able to implement properly and they soon declared themselves the loser.
They just tried to become an easier token issuing platform while not giving focus to much more important principles. 

it is true that there must be good news for the waves and of course there must be an update of the platform even if waves need to be able to work with several commercial companies so that it will make demand high and will increase the use of waves.

I do not think that the Waves will show a good growth in the near future. As it seems to me, the last large increase in prices were artificial and the price of the toen will continue to fall.

There is time for everything ! I have done somebody analysis on the market and projects which is why I said so. Here in this space it’s all about patience , sometimes some coins get pumped without any FA/TA, some get pumped with TA/FA, while some don’t even pump despite much news and work. A coin must fall into one of this category at a time. It’s all about patience.

I have heard that before with many alt and most of those alt coins now didnt met what people are expecting. So what i suggest to you if you believe on that project hold and wait. If you think project will not meet that then you have the option to sell all your assets and move to another one.

Waves isn't overrated in my opinion, what we had experienced with waves till date is the real growth. Waves has got its platform and it is highly potential compared to many other altcoins. In specific I found waves grow good over last year when there is drastic price fall with bitcoin. As an user mentioned keeping hold of investment on waves will surely get you good profit in the long run.

maybe the point is waves are coins that have good resources from the market to technology that is good enough to allow waves to continue to increase.
but in my opinion it's not enough to be able to become the top 5 in the market if investors still hesitate to invest in the wave.

The price doesnt bother me. What matters is the quality of the technology and how active it developers are.
I haven't seen anything interesting about the cryptocurrency. I read that it is very fast but it could be due to its low transaction volume.
The cryptocurrency is not even very decentralized.

Waves is a middle of the pack, currently #34 in the marketplace, type of coin. Seems about right to me. Not overrated, but like many alts, down in price currently.

Bitcoin Gold, Bitcoin Diamond, etc are overrated coins in my opinion. At least Waves does 'something'.

There's always positive and negative in each projects though this coin wanted to be like ETH and they've offers platform which can be used by developers but until know it's not that much used as developers mostly used ETH platform, not sure about overrated but I agree that if project have good usable product it will be supported and hype by the community.

Even if we invest in waves the coin can't grow over night and i think the waves can't value more than Ethereum, because Ethereum is more used and always was used on ICO and a lot of people mine it.

It should be like that, but the increase in waves occurred only during the last year's bullish where the price had exceeded 10$, and also I saw lots of tokens from waves also being dead tokens only a few tokens that actually live but that is also very little

By the look of things in the crypto space, Waves is obviously undervalued. If you judge Waves by the bears that ate up the altcoins (even Bitcoin was gravely affected), you miss it. Just like ETH, many projects also make use of the Waves chain for their tokens. You can find this out yourself on the coinmarketcap.com site.

This is a coin that should soar like ETH and Litecoin. I known it's a matter of time before it begins to moon.

I don't feel Waves is overrated at all, though I don't own any WAVES. They have a solid platform and community, but they are facing stiff competition with a number of smart contract platforms. I believe they have worked hard at establishing partnerships and may have a partnership with the Russian government. I personally would prefer Ethereum or Cardano.

Its a platform war and obviously they aren't winning since the birth of EOS, it just made the platform very inferior that with just a short period of time, EOS had already got a ton of projects raising the EOS flagship unlike waves that they have to seek developers to use their platform. The programming language isn't also a familiar one.

I keep token waves a very promising project; if you follow social networks, you can see a lot of activity. In any case, if there is a bullish trend, it will not remain at the same levels as now.

id say it would be bch/eth. also why would you use waves when you can do smart contracts on bitcoin way cheaper and with robust security (thanks ⚡️)?


activity should be on github, no? any idiot could have active social media, check altcoin anns))))))))))

Price will only go up a bit if there's a demand and people are buying it. Whethere there are so many updates, the demand from the people will still decide on how the price would go. Add also those investors that are starting to abandon the project because of that.

BCH and ETH is overrated? I'd agree with BCH but ETH? no it's not overrated.

Smart contracts on bitcoin? or you mean ethereum?

yea, and its even before it moved to PoS)))) was there any non-scam use case besides cryptokitties there?). this is besides the fact it was shit @$1k+, and its not getting better, for some reason.

and no, i am definitely not  :D :D :D https://www.coindesk.com/mit-testing-smart-contract-powered-bitcoin-lightning-network

Waves is not the only coin having this type of challenge, we have other coins too that has been very great in the past now so stagnant and not moving in the market.
I just believe that the recon why some of them are no longer increasing is because we have less investors, and the few investors that we have keeps getting carried away with so many new ICO that are coming up now with the promises of having a better idea than the existing ones.

One thing I am sure about is that these once great project will still get their glory back as we can see that attentions are now being diverted again to old project, which is why coins at the top marketcap has been recently gaining so much increase.

Just like you acknowledge, this situation is not only related to wave alone but virtually all altcoins too and I believe that waves has not become a coin that should be classified as bag holder coins. Most people selling their altcoins now are just doing so temporarily, those are the ones that really understood how crypto market functions.

When it is the right time for investors to pull the altcoins out of bitcoin after getting the desired profit, I am sure they will not hesitate to put the investment back into altcoins, and this is the actions that usually lead to suddenly increase in prices of altcoins later in future.

Well if that is your take about ETH.  ;)

Yeah, the price did actually hit $1,300 - $1,400 for eth and that's what people is looking again because of the possibility that it can be back again there once the bulll run gets in.

Thanks for that info as about smart contracts on bitcoin. So it's still on a test phase, I didn't knew about that.

I've hold Waves for about one year and sell it at the beginning of the year. I guess there are many more interesting projects on the market. But Waves team has money for MM and they can pump their token very huge.

Yes, there's a lot of competition, and EOS is among those giving Waves some of it. I actually like EOS, but I like Cardano a bit more - something about Charles Hoskinson is very appealing. I suppose it's the scientific and mathematical approach of Cardano that sets it apart. Anyway, I think Waves will always be around, but it will need partnerships to entice new investors.

I think Waves is not overrated altcoins but i know what you mean mate, there are so many updates but yet people still not using waves. I think it's because of people prefer using ethereum platform than waves. Waves is good too but most projects out there prefer using ethereum than waves.

I feel you since Im an avid fan of waves too.Its just that there are so many very competetive crypto out there which have their own uniqueness in terms of wallet storage not just waves. But I believe in the long run waves has still big chance of proving itself the worth.Lets just wait.

In fact that waves have already become a loser even before EOS already exist. Im here since the waves ico and so many promises that have already created by the team but the fact said the different thing than what already promised by the team. WAVES DEX is failed, even WAVES created centralized wallet called tidex and it's failed too. Waves smartcontract is also failed to consider it has no users.
What should be expected from WAVES NLG? The next failed protocol without any demand and users at all? We will see that.

Two years ago, Waves is a must coin to have I remember having almost 200  Waves, although a small amount I was looking forward to adding more, all through this two years there are not many changes in their trading platform and people are asking to have one I sold some of my waves for a much better coin in the market.

It is good project and over time it has being a instrumental in getting many investors and believing in this coin which has being returning some good returns too in the best of the times. Though future still looks good and one can hold certain % of it.

Yeap, it disappoint a lot knowing it got 30K BTC for ICO.

I was also here during the ICO, I bought some every time I got some BTC on my wallet and all the time my eaves kept decreasing as time goes because more and more people are investing to waves. Its been hyped, a lot are expecting its price to go up after mainnet but nope. WAVES was listed by yobit as IOU and things went all crazy til the price drop. Yet the investors thought this could be the best thing that had happen.

it can go back again, no question on that. but i think it would happen due btc price jumps. performance rate is still low and when sudden tx increase would hit the fan its gonna be 2017 all over again, but idk if it could get any worse tho)) when btc, on other hand, conquering space traffic right now and scaling topic is on another level after ⚡️

Are you really sure that waves will not fall below $2?
Waves is pretty simple straightforward platform yet it can't attract many users to utilize their platform.
Those who tried to use their platform and launch their waves assets couldn't find any success for themselves.
Only waves itself is having real value in the crypto market while almost all the waves assets created via their platform are found nowhere.
I don't know what it would take for the waves team to make their platform valuable to create those assets.

Its all-time high was $15 right now it's only above $1.50 but still a good coin to invest, and a good coin to buy in the bear trend, some people are now forgetting Waves and it's potential they've come to the market strong and now it is losing its appeal just like some of the old coins in the market, it's time for them to do things dramatically.

Price does not reflect real development always. News doesn't have influence on price as much as it did a while ago. Waves is overrated, but still a good alt coin, hold for a while.. if you can.

As we always notice, ethereum and other alts are basing their move to bitcoins jump so whenever bitcoin goes on high, they will follow the leader.

I'm already expecting that tx fees would increase gradually as sign of the markets shift from bear to bull just as you stated.

Truly, it may seems Waves is actually overrated judging from what we outlined in whitepaper, articles, peoples predictions and all. But this doesn't deduce Waves not being a promising coin with so many potentials to rise through the ranks

Doing a reaserch over a coin before going in is key has buying at high when they surge is risky and when it dump doesn't mean it is not a good project .

The time you buy determine the gain or loss and am sure it will surge later and surpass your buy area but base on the TA it need some correction and you not knowing it was why you are still in .

It is not overrated. However, those, who bet on Waves mostly, might not get high returns. In May 2019 crypto specialists made an analysis of this altcoin, and they came to a decision that the crypto will be falling this year. They have made a long-term prediction, which says that its maximum will be 13 dollars.

Now that there are more platforms more likely better than waves, it may never get a chance to fly like the last 2017. $13 is even too ambitious to think. A lot may focus more on what can become like the Binance which is becoming a complete platform, EOS and of course ETH. One day if there is no significant thigns that can happen on WAVES, cardano and TRX may have a price of more than $5 each and waves be left forgotten.

I never trusted the design of the wave, it alarming me.  I do not see anything in it that would be worth my investment in it.  There are many projects that are better than him.

Honestly these so called "crypto specialist" doesn't exist, they just throwing anything and if they're wrong they can just tell the market is unpredictable, waves still have the chance to develop and prove itself, time will only tell.

I think WAVES is rather undervalued and not overrated as you mentioned. Many DAPPS are building on WAVES blockchain presently especially games. So many new good projects, still hidden gems are going the WAVES way. They keep the development coming through too. The price of a token doesn't depict the efforts put in by the team in most cases.

I don't think Waves is overrated altcoin. And I think we shouldn't just consider the Waves over its price. Waves is really a big company. And Waves has great potential. I also think that in the future Waves will be one of the top 10 coins.

I agree with you, that means that waves in underrated at the moment. There are many platforms out there, waves is one of the good ones, really strong community, leasing waves to earn some of their tokens is a great thing. Waves have great potential, and who didnt invest in waves until now should do it, price will not be like this for a long time.

Waves hasn't done anything at all...

I think that the waves have something that deserves and does not think it is overvalued. There are coins that really underestimated, not like the ethereum, for example, it should cost much more, but we have what we have and should accept it.

I think waves is one of the most overestimated coins on the market, which is in the top, because it can not compete with other coins with similar technology

I have since sold my wave, it was always dumping when I expected it would moon. I will still buy some in the future because of how fast it's in terms of transaction conformation time.

It really should but the potential for this coin to reach $20 or more is high, it reaches $15 on its an all-time high, it's the most underrated coin in the business, and the funny side is it's an old coin, that has a lot of development, it seems it lacks marketing, the most important one.

for myself I invested in waves last year and sold them in early 2018 and until now I am still monitoring the movement of the waves.

I think Waves is good long term investment and its like ethereum. But to compete with ethereum, i think its hard for waves because ethereum already have big community and used by many token in market. Waves have advantages like having their own DEX and its good for trading

Take a look at the community backing waves.
It is small and mostly fringe.
Not only that, it has become known as the place where shitcoins, jokecoins, and scams go to make a token.

After a year of the market crashing, we are finally at that point where coins/tokens just don't survive off of hype anymore.
Take a look at all of the other successful smart contract platforms out there.

You will see that the ones that have a robust, stable, and well known community are doing well.
Whereas the ones with terrible backers or ones where the mainet isn't even working are falling.

I expect a lot of these will be dead by next year.
In fact, take a good look at the top 100, 80% of those won't be around as soon as next year.
