Will WAVES do better than LISK on the markets?

[StinkyLover]

I say no.

I think LISK is a damp squib and WAVES will be even worse. I don't see WAVES overtaking LISK in marketcap. Maybe day 1 (if even that), but that will be it. I see it two-stepping with Dogecoin at position 9/10 in the first few weeks.

I'm not even sure it will be able to stand against DOGE. Might even drop to start sparring with Monero. Crowdsale hype is starting to hit the skids (and about time too).

We cannot really predict these things.  But what do you mean in saying 'do better'?  Do you mean their coin/tokens do well in the market or do you mean will the platform get enough users to become successful?

I mean how well their tokens will do on the market in terms of price and overall marketcap.

Of course we can't really predict these things as a certainty.

If you mean the price and market cap, then the question is, when? In the first days, when the initial dump by the day traders is happening to waves while lisk has more or less passed that stage, maybe waves will have less market cap for a while. At the end of 2016 I believe waves will be bigger than lisk and have a higher market cap though.

Ah then it's just a matter of common people and the big whales buying in, thereby increasing their marketcap.  That can be manipulated...  Easily.

On the other hand if their respective platforms do get enough meaningful users, that's a more solid statement that they 'did well'.  A lot of platforms were created and tried, but I have yet to see a truly successful platform in wide use today.

It's a very smooth looking project, best contact to the userbase I've seen so far

That's the thing. I'm not sure it will. The potential is there but the market will always do what it wants to do regardless of potential.

I remember NXT in the early days, now look at it.

I don't know why you are comparing Lisk with Waves if they are totally different projects with different purposes. It would make sense comparing ETH with Lisk or Waves with NXT or BTS. Waves is a token platform that aims for fiat integration via gateways while Lisk aims for blockchain applications.

That may be so, but they will ultimately be judged by this

WAVES will be bigger coinmarketcap. great platform.

[disam]

[benthach]

Agree with you.
Maybe not at the begining but waves will be bigger then lisk. The ICO already was bigger than lisk ico.

Waves have a better project too, with more use than dapps so.. i'm betting in waves for now.

ps: as a trader, i do have a few lisks at the moment, because lisk will grow for now, i just dont think lisk will be bigger than waves.

[btcmylove]

I support you.

Waves will surpass Ripple on Coinmarketcap. Waves is an evolution of what Ripple attempted to be, its blockchain and banking in one platform so dont compare it to Lisk.

[Rkana]

WAVES will be great! LISK not so well (because it is ripoff from another coin).

Whichever he mean, they don't categorically be compared but since he did. i think Lisk is no match to WAVES.

And this is the issue. Great tech, innovation, and outlook doesn't always mean a high marketcap in this industry. As I wrote earlier, look at NXT. I see waves as a kind of Crypto 2.0 version of NXT.

I think LISK might have been the last properly profitable crowdsale in market terms. Lisk raised approx $6m and now has marketcap of $45m, The DAO raised $168m and now has marketcap of $150m. Even though WAVES has raised $16m I'm not sure it'll break $50m (or even $30m)

This is not based on science, just based on what's been going on recently. And to be real about it, most people invest in these ICO/crowdsales for profit on the markets. That's what I'm looking at.

Longterm lisk will be trending to 0 and waves will be trending towards billion$ marketcaps.

How the launch goes is impossible to say though, i'm guessing it'll be a flat launch.

This is purely a market performance question. I am not comparing the two on a tech level.
