Well, it´s a fully working platform that is overdelivering in every aspect. Nearly all other altcoins exist just as a potential - many ifs and maybe - most never deliver. With WAVES I get a working decentralized exchange, POS Leasing, fast transfers with a small fee, a platform for ICOs etc.... Since yesterday and the rebranding also the brand new wallet, that is far ahead many other wallets I have seen.
Besides that, from a technical analysis pov, it´s growing solid and steadily with no unnatural growth or dump signs...
The team behind also seems very competent at their job and working in a fast pace to develop new things being added to the platform over the next months within a reasonable timeframe....
Did I mention the easy accessibility for mainstream users?^^
What is not to like about such a project? Besides that, I don´t believe in projects that exist for the sole purpose of just sending money from point a to point b in some fancy "now more secure than ever - but no one understands why" way :)
