The more I read up on Waves, the more I like it. I am tempted to invest big into this, as if it is a bonafide challenger to Ethereum then I would consider the price HIGHLY undervalued. Just wondered what peoples thoughts on it were? Could it challenge Ethereum in the long run for being a kickstarter for new ICO and crypto-projects? Or does the ease of use hinder it, and perhaps make it more susceptible to produce too many shitcoins, thus devaluing the coin.

A few things I like about waves.....

It has a DEX
It is working with Deloitte to help integrate big business to its platform
Ease of use on the platform to create new ICO's
Peer to peer lending available on the flatform


Thoughts on general business model and obviously coin price in both short/mid and long term.......

There are several "Ethereum killer contenders". EOS is the latest one. Stratis is looking good, and if they are able to make it do what they say it should do, it may go up in price, but it had a ton of sudden uprise so im not sure what a good entry point.
IOTA is another one, but i've heard some stuff about the technology being a bit of a vaporware promise. Im not sure, im not a coder.

WAVES has been in the game for a long time, im not sure about what it does, but the problem of not being in Poloniex may have an impact on the price. For some reason, Poloniex rejects WAVES...

There are similar threads out there regarding waves, yes it is an interesting and promising platform and the most strong ethereum competitor

I think Qtum or ANS has a good chance to be ETH contender.  The best chance to overtake ETH at this point, would be something that markets heavily in the east.  There are already several Chinese ICOs launching on Qtum and the mainnet hasn't even been released yet.  It reminds me of all the projects launching on ETH right before the ICO bubble.

It is one of the many Ethereum contenders and has a few projects/coins on its platform.
I own it and expect it to do well but do not expect it to surpass ETH.

Waves coin is one of my favorite altcoin and i think will increase the price at 100 dollars each before end of this year 2017 and i hope it trully happen so i can make a lot of profit or money.  Waves its look like ethereum coin the price before is very cheap but if you see the price today is very high . So I see also waves that happen after 2 to 3 years so be readt if you invest a lot of monet in waves for sure they have possible you become a rich people in the future.

$100 before the end of the year is a little bit ambitious. I'm happy if the price reaches $15 - $20 before the end of the year ^-^

Agree with your forecast!!!
Let's wait tomorrow and we might see another explosion in the price of all the currencies.

I'm not suggesting waves will surpass Ether, but if it can compete it could have a market cap of say $1 billion by the end of this year? Which would make it $10 a coin. Seems possible.

Dude, 10Bil marketcap = 100$ per coin

Thanks for the correction.  :)

if the bear market goes away and the bulls come back to play then 30USD by the end of the year should be attainable.

Lets talk about what Waves are doing or have accomplished just recently.

Partnership with governments - Boris Titov, Kazakhstan, Moscow Stock Exchange
Partnership with Deloitte
Ether + USD gateway and im sure the Chinese Yuan gateway is soon - when this happens expect the volume traded on Dex to go up significantly
Tokenomica is coming
The new Dex Gui is coming
Smart contracts and scalability in september/october
More ICO's and probably more partnerships/blockbuster news

Waves is definitely undervalued in my opinion. But you cant keep a great thing down forever! You could still say it is still in its infancy. I expect they will be giving Eth a run for its money within a year.
When this market turns around Waves will be charging - I am sure of it!! But lets see

WAVES is curently under a way to find next support,
it may still take time to jump,.... so HODL.

There were a million bitcoin killers and look how those turned out.  I feel like all these coins will find their own lane and be able to thrive together.  It's not about being able to destroy other coins.  I hope all coins can grow and live in harmony and peace.  That is the future I dream of :)

Waves, Hush and NEO (Ans/Antshares before) are my favorite currencies. Currently putting a lot of hope in Waves. But I don't Think it will surpass Ethereum. Ethereum is the big one just like Bitcoin. I'm holding Waves long term however and hoping that Ethereum will somehow fail, in that case Waves could become big.

First off, I like Waves, and I believe in the leadership of the company. I don’t think it is a competitor to ethereum.  I think that Waves and ETH are working towards a great partnership. It helps when the creators are from Russia. We may see more ICO work with Waves and ETH. There are a few ICOs on both blockchains.

Definitly waves and eth can coexist and provide healthy competition and alternatives to the scene

What do you think about counter party?
Could it ever arrive at that level? Or higher?

about trust this now bittrex above poloniex, so i think poloniex rejected waves is no problem
i think waves need incraese trust can equal with etherum token smart contract

there still long way before waves can be contender to ETH  there is many other altcoin  better than waves at this moment like stratis but im still looking forward what will next move of this coin and i aready bought some and lease it.

Its waves thread again xd

I wouldnt say its a direct competitor of ETH as both platform has their own pros and cons

But i am very positive and can assume within Q2 of 2018, it could hit $8-10

How many waves do you have?  Im curious because you say if it goes up to 100 dollars, you would make lot of profit.

Hmm as for me waves is much better than stratis, even in team that is working on the project. Sratis was gaining value really great, when there was a huge pump( i also have invested in it, after it hit price of 7 sold out everything), but now look at it, it just stays in the middle of something and drops in price always. Team need to figure out something, to make this coin great. At the moment i think the best altcoins on the market such as ETH are WAVES and EOS :)

waves is not as completed as eth, its not same, when you create token in eth you can modifie it, bu5 with waves you can not

i agreed this, market caps shown its failing down since last 2 month, its going hard to reach 1 billions, but nothing impossible too.
this would be homework for dev team to make it target, reaching price before end of year about $10 are realistic.

Waves beating ETH is just as likely as Bitcoin Cash beating Bitcoin.

In other words, ain't gonna happen. ETH is the soon to be king of crypto.

Your comparison of Bitcoin Cash beating Bitcoin should have been between Eth and Btc. As you seem to believe that Eth with surpass Btc, but that Waves won't surpass Eth. I would guess the majority of people would find it more likely that Waves would surpass Eth at some point than Eth surpassing Btc (at any point).

The smart accounts have been activated on Waves MainNet!  8) This will not only make the platform more secure and flexible, providing additional tools for businesses and end users, but also offers entirely new use cases and scope for powerful decentralised applications. I am waiting for the implementation of the next stage.  :)

many good developers use waves because its not abused by gas speculations.

and its better to use for all as well

Dont be ridiculous, WAVES isn't anywhere close to competing with Ethereum,  Eth is the most used cryptocurrency after bitcoin and nothing else comes  close.

Waves are cool, believe in them. Yes, the Ethereum was the first, he has the largest community. I think that Waves will take its place again. On the Waves platform, you can create an ecosystem on your knee, tokenize, sculpt a business model, and everything at once on the exchange with penny commissions, and on the Ethereum these operations are much more complex and expensive.

That is, the main difference between bitcoin and Bank accounts is that it is the owner of the wallet who owns the money, not the Bank and regulatory state structures. And the rest is almost the same, except that bitcoin has no boundaries and restrictions unlike banks.

ether is increasingly squeezed by many competitors like stellar, eos, waves and a new coin like universa, need some good news or new progress on ethereum from vitalik.

as an ethereum holders and i not agree with your statement dude. Vitalik has been giving a lot of update to the development of ethereum but it gets a little delay and the constantinopel will have launched at the first quarter of the next year. Is it not enough for you?

I'm totally in belief in WAVES project, they work over the project so hard, always hear about them good news, and the product developed every time.

Stellar is gradually expanding its adoption but EOS is still relatively new and not so easy to use

Waves is still rather under utilized and Universa is far too new to be thrown into the same ballpark as the rest

The ICO market simply isn't growing at a quickly enough rate to fully cater to all platforms which means not all will flourish in the short term

There are many contenders to take on ethereum but waves is not one of them. It serves a different purpose which is to host scammy ICOs, professional companies will use something else like EOS and soon Cardano. Some might prefer NEO as it complies more with local laws

I think it's too early to compare or call waves as rivals for ethereum , obviously the waves are still far behind ethereum , more precisely, in my opinion rivals ethereum in the future are neo and eos

Yes, I remember how many people said that Waves is the future direct competitor of Ethereum, but since 2017 Waves could not even come close to Ethereum. Waves is a good project, but his team is weak to compete with Ethereum.

Ethereum is not as strong as many think or would like. Even the fact they had to postpone the update/fork because of bugs, even the fact the new date is extremely late, shows quite some weakness imho.
Of course, Waves still needs to grow a lot. And needs more successful legit ICOs/tokens.

You can put cardano, stellar and even monero in the same row with the waves and competitors of the ether. So while we are thinking over the fork of the ether, other coins are thinking about improving and attracting demand and increasing capitalization.
