Where are the guys with waves 10$ by the end of 2019 ? have you lost your voice guys ? Also MarquiseMouseum, why don't you bring another statistical analytical plan of investment of yours when it comes to Waves ?
The team of development is a top one but the marketing team of waves have absolute 0 clues of how to promote Waves to world and how to attract long investors who really care about the stage of the project.
No one should gamble with large money in waves or top 10 crypto unless pros. Mainstream should buy some months worth of salary in waves and save it.
I am seeking up to 150k waves as a business loan only after several years as an active top ranked project on Waves and risk is almost too big even for me. Definitely too big past $2 for this loan so I need it now. 200k was of course in hindsight a great buy at $0.2 in 2017 and it can move there again if things get worse.
The main problem is systemic like hacking or asset freezing because platform gateway deposit/withdrawals is controlled by team and there is a rumor from poloniex listing agents many years ago that waves devs can override anything they wish in source code with secret backdoor.
Waves new monetary policy is driving my projects demand for waves because M2 benefits from it by weekly buyside liquidity from staking waves and this implementation may be part of the key to the golden lockpad for waves if they enable it for all top tokens and back it with increased trading fees and drop the fixed 0.03 waves fee because similar to the 1 waves token creation fee, it undermines maturity of platform by permitting spam tokens and low volume trades.
I view M2 as a coalmine canary to detect problems on waves that mainstream merchants will experience if they migrate business here. The biggest problem is Russia due to sanctions and interference by their government into this project which is why there are sanctions on Russia in the first place, because they interfere with freedom.
But they are not the only ones, in fact there may not be any free country on Earth for those who seek true wealth or are capable of technological invention, i.e science and merchant/investor class.
Other big problems that require remedy is no token liquidity support despite 300 million dollars ICO funding and low exposure venues for tokens except on tokenrating which is a great implementation but seemingly with little net effect.
No auto display and scroll function of unverified token tickers on exchange is the biggest blunder of all for a project that is marketed towards easy token creation for mainstream business. Recently it is even moving backwards with bettertokens centralized gatekeeping which could be part of government sock puppet show alongside VST.
The new exchange interface is a goldmine for user function as everything can be managed on tablet which opens the door for scalable payments when even the kebab shop can understand it and manage it quickly on customer per customer interaction. Mobile trading is too small but tablet works perfectly.
Ethereum isnt even close to waves with user tokens and its market cap is hundreds of times more. Pywaves explorer is the backbone of competitive edge as it seamlessly translates info in near real time with exchange activity. Convert pywaves ui into something like cmc and its thunder in a bottle.
Waves is a competitor with banner ads so marketing funds are redirected to existing users with airdrops and on platform activity which is smart method of brand loyalty building.
New user and merchant onramping is formed by payment gateway partnerships striking at core of business which is the terminal checkout. A simple widget with rate conversion and buy waves/payment option linked from any website or partner like shopify or Swedish trustly to waves exchange will ensure organic and scalable user growth. Qr scanning in waves wallets is already top level so website widget is a one day job for talent.
Car advertisement is most cost effective street level branding in city centers. No need hundred thousand dollar 3 week billboards, website sticker with catchy slogan relating to peoples money and how it can grow with waves is $10. Branded debit cards can be used as a marketing ploy but these will soon be going dodo with mobile pay. Marketing to business should exemplify crypto as a type of stock so that people have a reference what it is.
For leverage and borrowing on waves simply copy primexbt platform and plug supply inflation into premium fees when users trade with leverage option. Permit in wallet lending by locking stack with smart contract and keep interest reasonable. Lombardini offers 50% infinite ltv but forgot to fix interest repayments in $ instead of waves, and their interest is 40% per year which is borderline usury, half is fine.
Waves is not a remedy to centralization in fact they are moving towards increased regulation. This makes it attractive for established merchants and fortune 500. Waves will be competing with nasdaq crypto dollars who already owns all top clients.
Market capture is up to 10% of 20 trillion annual global commerce over 5 years, monopolization potential due to few competitors, market cap and revenue determined based on transaction fees derived from userbase. Visa statistics applicable.
Long term prospect of private crypto is mediocre with AI integration, thats where quadrillion global gdp vertical is hidden. Until then holistic solutions like waves will dominate fintech.
The decentralized vision is doomed unless built on hawala ledger which would make it analog and non scalable. It is likely that every windows, apple and android os contains not one but dozens of zero day backdoors that grant government realtime access to your phone as if they were using remote pc.
In the end, decentralization was a fringe thing, all the wealth is in establishment and they auction freedom in exchange for security so it will take many revolutions to break out of neo feudalist and totalitarian road and even so, mainstream is incapable of safeguarding funds if granted the power of personal banking which is basically sovereign privilege.
