Waves, a token platform with the web developer generation in mind, has seen its base token rise nearly 50 percent over the last 24 hours amid a generally-stagnant crypto market, making analysts scratch their heads – what could be driving this?

Aside from the normal hustle and flow of cryptocurrencies gaining wider adoption, we think we might have found the answer to increased demand for Waves — their updated mobile wallet, which now enables credit card purchase of Waves that can then be exchanged across the mobile exchange for Bitcoin and a host of other cryptos.

Waves shows that cryptocurrency projects can develop and not be dependent on Bitcoin or ethereum.
 I think that in 2019 the waves can grow to 10 dollars

Waves surprised everyone, this is a fact. But I think that should be, the waves will come to even better places after the smart contract.

maybe the price of waves explode because of this news,, buddy

There have been two coins that have really caught my eye during the last two weeks. Those coins are Factom and Waves. In the middle of a sea of red, there are 2 well-known coins in the Top 100 that really act differently. They go against the overall market situation and come out as winners.

Things like this are really great to see. Not purely because of the nice green color they emit, but the fact that they go against the price graph of BTC. Now that's something we need a lot more coins would do.

look like the power of waves and sasha ivanov coming in this red market and the result is the price of waves growth 50%
from the beginning i believe this altcoin will be huge,, because sasha is a smart guy  ;)

what kind of power is it? the price declined for almost a year of time without any pullback before, even when other cryptocurrencies got pumped in May or June, it kept moving down without getting any pump from others. Personally I think, it is all about the time.
sasha does not have that kind power to pump the price because he said, waves only has 40.000BTC in on their cold storage.

As i predicted about the down trend of waves has already started https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/waves/
That news was creating a short term hype for waves and then you must see that about how it will go back to the bottom. Sell your stash or regret it later.

what do you expect? Of course, peoples were predicting and expecting it to go down after it went up for more than 50% in just 2 days, there is no such a thing called move up forever or get pumped forever. Everything is possible in cryptocurrency, and obviously, peoples were expecting it not only you.
also, What kind of hype? did not hear anything from them before this pump began.

Well is a good thing to know such credit card support that cause such major changes The only reason i like waves is their onboard exchange thats handy enough but in terms of smart contract support i think it will need more from the community to thrive

it is a very frightening graph because it can make traders get stuck at expensive prices because the price of waves is too high, be careful when you want to buy coins when the price is too expensive.

I was also wondering what could be the reason for the spike in price, it is good for the Waves tokens holders but for me, Waves platform has not got me on my feet, I really don't know how to classify the project, a Decentralsied Exchange or a Smart contract platform and in both space it is lagging greatly behind

The price is back where it was only a couple of weeks ago so it seems that the main reason behind this surge was just that the price dumped down too far and too hard in the last 2 weeks.

Waves is not a project that will grow despite a general decline in the market, but similar price surges are found in many coins and they do not indicate that the coin will continue to grow. In most cases, after a large increase in price, the price falls to the previous price. Alexander Ivanov is a good programmer, but he didn’t bring marketing to a high level and the project is more focused on the countries of the former Soviet Union, which limits the number of investors.

I think it's only a temporary pump, and if you see it now the price of Waves is back down. Currently the price of waves is 0.00045059 BTC or down (-14.03%) from the previous price.

Seems like a rando pump out of nowhere. Price is now falling and no one seems to have any real reason for the pump. Maybe just some whale deciding to buy big and force the price up. Waves has performed pretty terribly since the beginning of the year.

I think this is what caused the sudden increase in the price of waves in binary, but in the current market situation there is a possibility that the price will fall again.

There's no apparent reasons apart from more value being realized from slow yet steady growth and this demonstrates the benefits that can be gained from HODL'ing a good quality alternative and being patient and waiting for it to appreciate as it can happen when you'd least expect it to

I did my research again before and found out,
There are a lot of reasons why this project got pumped a lot for a couple of weeks before,
first they published their first mobile wallet after a few years of time, another thing is in September they launched their smart contract. And do not forget the fact that this project has been suppressed for a year, this project never made any movement in Q1 2018 while almost everything got pumped back then.

so everything is revealed. but obviously, I would not recommend anyone of you to buy it right now, because we are not done yet with the bears.

Now waves is 3,5 dollars.
Waves is one of the great undervalued projects. Next bull run waves will made an easy 10-20x. DYOR of course.

They are also raised $120 millions in the vostok project
https://blog.wavesplatform.com/new-addition-to-waves-ecosystem-d9aec7e1d8c3?gi=e106df576c48
They will airdrop some $VST to all $WCT and $WAVES holder at 1:1 ratio

Smart account/asset lauch in less 2 weeks (this open the way to build more "sophisticated" DAPPS) they are already launched a little example as christmas game where the profit go to charity : https://2019.wavesplatform.com/
more info here: https://blog.wavesplatform.com/waves-christmas-game-powered-by-smart-contracts-3fd3f4e242f7
The game is also using Waves Keeper (something like metamask for WAVES).

Recently , sasha annouced that they will pay the cost fee to use bettertokens.org  (Decentralised Token Verification) to get your token verified by KYC : https://blog.wavesplatform.com/decentralised-token-verification-our-vision-for-the-future-and-a-fix-for-the-present-fefd5531b33d
This wil also help all users who are crying that WAVES have only scam ICO/token.
