I have noticed, since lurking on these forums, that a lot of people here are invested in or excited about WAVES. Maybe I dont understand the potential in its platform but it seems to me that it has had a hard time maintaining upward momentum and nothing I have read makes me think that it will excel in the future. What is all the fuss about?

Why invest in WAVES instead of seemingly more innovative projects like IOTA that set out to change the formula?
Similar to bitcoin, ethereum and some other altcoin, WAVES owns a separate platform, with its own blockchain, so its development is completely independent, which is a good coin to invest in, as it not influence from bitcoin too much.
