I was considering investing some money on 12th to get the 20% bonus but in this case it might not be a good deal.
With so much hype from ETH, Lisk and now Waves, it seems most people are not aware of how different those 3 projects are.
- ETH was in the making for couple years
- Lisk is gonna use a Crypty base that was already tested for couple years
- Waves is starting now and wants to launch the test net in the summer
All 3 seem valid to me, but i sure wont value them at the same price, that would be insane.
IF by any chance the investment in Waves ICO goes to ETH or Lisk levels, i think it will be VERY hard to justify the value.
With such a long ICO there is a fair chance the ammount raised will be high.
It seems to me that it's best to loose the 20% bonus and only invest in the last day, when i have a better idea of how much was raised and how much will 1 wave cost.
I think that's fair but not the whole story. WAVES team was highly involved in the NXT project so it's not like they're a couple of newbs deciding one day to make something crypto. They also have the support of jl777, well known highly respected developer. Sasha also owns coinomat.com , which is also integral to what he's trying to achieve with WAVES so I see alot of experience here.
All true!
That's also why
I will invest in Waves, just trying to figure out when is the best time to do it.
The amount raised for Lisk was surprising (for me). It's reasonable to consider that Waves can also reach "surprising" numbers.
Maybe it sounded that way, but my remarks didn't mean to demerit Wave's project in any way, just seems in an earlier stage.
Sometimes (not many) you put your money in for the long run, but Crypto people tend to be impatient. Getting in after the ICO is something worth considering, at least partially.
There is a lot to like about this project and I will be investing on day one. However, given the recent hype into other ICO's and the length of this one, I am not expecting much of an ROI. I am expecting that they will get a large fund to work with and that they may be able to really create something great from it. I am not trying to discourage those seeking large profits from investing, just saying that it helps with expectations if you broaden your range of "success."
Edit (FYI, I agree with you. Just elaborating)
