I've used Waves in an ICO before (it failed, probably not the fault of Waves.) My experience has been that total noobs, I mean people with zero crypto background, can easily be taught to set up a waves wallet and seem very willing to do so and waves is just so dang cheap in an airdrop.  The prior discussions about lack of exchange adaption is very scary though.  That could be a deal killer.  On the other hand, it would be so easy to establish a market for noobs on the Waves Dex.  I'm getting ready to try another ICO, I wonder how the transaction costs compare too? 

Wrong, their main aim is to make a profit.    This is also one of the reason why more than 90% of them fail. They start out as a project with very ambitious goals to change the world, but that is quickly forgotten, when the money starts rolling in. Many of them are blatantly scamming people and the whole, changing the world thing is just a bunch of smoke and mirrors. 

Let's just face it... only a very small percentage of them will change the world. 

99% of them are just looking for cash grab, usually they work hard but once ico has ended - I dunno but they seem like they lose motivation or something. Whatever they claim, never comes into fruition.

In this situation, in my opinion, it is necessary to be patient. And do not sell. Cryptocurrency will necessarily return its positions.
