This is an opinion piece from due.com. The disclaimer in the article states:

This is a typical way to mislead people on this forum.

Not at all. People should do research and make up their own minds. This is a crypto forum not the BBC World News! The lady protest too much, methinks! However I have changed the thread title to reflect your concern. While we are at it. Here is another 'Opinion piece' featured in Engadget! Waves - the evolution of bitcoinhttps://www.engadget.com/2016/12/02/waves-the-evolution-of-bitcoin/

Well, hopefully these authors are not simply selling their "opinion" to the highest bidder, but nothing would surprise me.
It would be hard to resist selling out, because the authors on these sites probably don't make a lot of money. Imagine you were making $15,000 a year from your website articles, and some developer offered you $1500 to promote their coin. Turning down 10% of your yearly salary to write one article might be difficult.

everything is money my friend, including opinion. if you are a well known writer, people will ask you to review their product and i'm pretty sure you will do a good review if they pay enough. Still valid tho, it's not like they are lying to sell... and like @glerant said, people need to make their own mind, do some research before put some money.

Someone was paying people to give good reviews of counterfeit apple products sold on amazon. Not one of those reviews was bad but the products were often defective. Those paid to give the reviews didn't know or care anything about the quality of the products they were reviewing. They weren't lying to sell, they were giving good reviews because someone was paying them to. Their reviews weren't valid, and those opinion pieces are invalid for the same reason, their authors were getting paid to give a good opinion.

Are you really saying that you are comparing some random reviewers leaving some paid reviews on Amazon for tat with a News piece on the official Nasdaq site? Really?

Nasdaq's not backing waves. Most of the news pieces in the Nasdaq news section are copied from other websites that don't have the money that Nasdaq has. If someone offers them money to give a good opinion piece they will take it exactly the same as those amazon reviewers took money to write good reviews.

Yes unfortunately these sites need need new content, and they may put up stories without doing a ton of research. Especially if the person in charge of making the decision is not totally familiar with Bitcoin and Alt-coins.
I don't see these articles doing anything. The people that know about crypto probably already know what Waves is, and the average person reading Nasdaq news probably could not care less about Bitcoin, let alone some new coin with a small share and marketcap.

It is good that they are mentioned in more mainstream media websites. I hope they will have their full nodes available soon. It has been promised to be released last September.
My question for now is how is the development of Waves these days? Are they still having a hard time turning the Scorex code base to productional use?

Well, if you say so, then the thread's name is not quite correct. Yet we can't know it for sure, which is the first thing, and the second one is that people might not get so deep into details and believe the news which can result in price growth. So, overall, it's good news for waves anyway. It's a fine platform, maybe it will gain more popularity in the future. People on Nasdaq will at least become more acquainted with the whole new world of cryptocurrencies.

This is %100 ordered but its still good PR. I think Waves team now realized how to spend their money for publicity. Guys, anything in the world works with money. Of course writer wasn't completely biased but affected by offered money. I don't really see any problem in this. He wouldn't accept it if he didn't believe.

I hope this news will pumped the price of Waves because they deserve it and i hope they will attract more users on WAVES. Hoping a lot of new tokens and coins will be created under WAVES, and it is also easy to trade using their lite app on Chrome.

Well well well, This article may help WAVES Platform to gain more users and i do have some WAVES coins that needed to be traded but i guess i will hold it for now, I want WAVES Platform to gain more fans and users and also Investors, I hope they will continue to add more features on their lite app. WAVES Platform has a big potential that's why i am using and supporting it.

I have two news about waves platform All good WAVES tokens have to be liquid, and this fund is gonna make sure this is the case. Token airdrop will take place on the updated MainNet, and will be a good test for WAVES NG. Check this out the link https://t.co/BjKYfyYuNT and December is going to be hot for WAVES holders. You can joint in the telegram channel at https://t.co/c6AeFdZtv8 for latest news and hottest announcements on Waves Platform, but i don't recommend to joint if the group will makes uncomfortable on your smartphone.
