I think the LISK launch can give some insight on how waves might perform ...
You cant compare Lisk to Waves really, Lisk is Crypti rebranded and more hype based, Waves is like a combination of DAO, Ethereum and Ripple, focussed also on the business part allowing actual fiat to be used on the platform where Waves tokens will be acting as a fuel used on the background for every action the platform does, similar to Ethereum. Thats why Mycelium is collabing with Waves. I expect Waves to take over Ripple in market cap.
