I am a full time chartist and crypto trader since 2 years.
My workmate wrote a master thesis about BTC,Dash and XMR.
He is studying on the doctorate graduation and is using the waves platform for the dissertation.
He bought the first BTC around 70USD.
We have the same opinion about $waves!
It's one of the greatest crypto projects and it will be successful, waves offers the same capabilities to grow like ethereum a few months ago.
We are pretty sure waves will be a game changer in the crypto history
The two of us think waves will hit about 35 USD maybe this year, or at least in the year 2018.
best wishes

Waves: updated roadmap
Q4 2017
In October we plan to deploy Waves-NG. This is a remarkable new consensus algorithm based on Emin Gün Sirer’s Bitcoin-NG protocol. In bitcoin and classical blockchains, transactions are included in blocks and added to the blockchain retrospectively, once the next miner has been decided through the proof-of-work mechanism. This approach, along with block size, places fundamental limits on the throughput of the blockchain.
In bitcoin’s case, it’s somewhere around 3 transactions per second. Bitcoin-NG pre-selects the miner, which creates a “key block”, and then microblocks of transactions are added to this in more-or-less realtime. Throughput on the blockchain is then limited only by network speed. By implementing this approach, adapted for proof-of-stake, we expect Waves to be able to handle hundreds of transactions per second — making it the fastest blockchain in existence.
This huge and ground-breaking development will be accompanied by an update to the lite client in November. We’ll be calling this Blockchain OS 1.0 (the term ‘client’ is misleading for many users outside of crypto, and that’s the market we’re targeting). That will entail a full overhaul of the user interface, and some great new features for the DEX. We’ll also be releasing a block explorer in Q4, which will allow anyone to browse and search the blockchain easily.
2018
With our network able to handle large transaction volumes, we’re going to be introducing several new features and services throughout next year. We will be implementing a form of smart contracts. As we’ve stated before, these won’t be quite the same as Ethereum’s Turing Complete contracts — we see risks to that approach, and there have been a few issues with Ethereum such as The DAO and the Parity wallet multisig vulnerability that demonstrate it can result in serious losses.
Waves’ smart contracts will be a more direct generalisation of bitcoin scripting that will be able to handle most of the same use cases without the security implications. It’s a better and safer approach for business logic, whilst still comprehensive in its capabilities.
Tokenomica will be launching next year too: this is an organisation that will enable compliant crowdfunds and share offerings on the blockchain, with full KYC where necessary. We expect this to be a big use case for Waves, and one that will bring many new users to our ecosystem. As we ramp up our business development and see new tranches of users and investors, we’ll also be releasing Blockchain OS 2.0: the second iteration of our reworked client.
Last of all we’ll be implementing a couple of new features in the protocol that people have been asking about for a while. We’ll have multisignature transactions, again improving security, and we plan to launch a blockchain messaging system that will enable fast, encrypted communication between users.
