There is no user-created crypto-assets in Uphold. No financial intermediary institution can create its own assets without the assent of the company. No crowdfunding project raise money there. So Uphold is basically and essentially a company, not a crypto-platform.

They have Bitcoin and Voxel (uphold created). If they wanted more profit, they would add ETH and other currencies in due time. Unknown if that's in their plans, so if WAVES can get the not even born atomic trade functionality working, might be a selling point. But right now it's just in the idea stage. How's WAVES going to get this ready , even as a test by summer, if it's dependent on another groups' work?

They may not be a crypto platform, but they sure act like one. Joe Schmoe won't tell the difference, he'll just go with the faster and easier one.

This doesn't mean WAVES can't succeed, they just have a very steep hill to climb, and a bar set really high from the perspective of avg Joe. I'm all for competition because so far, none can match Uphold in ease of use, tradeable fiat, BTC and even gold. If WAVES starts to look like an NXT wallet, I'm thinking mainstream adoption is just not possible.
