I could see Waves raising between 6500-8500 BTC by the end. That's my guess, unless they start releasing some insanely amazing, "ground breaking" news that gets more attention.
6500 btc is amazing as is, but it's already at 5000 so I feel that It's going to reach far more then you suggested.
Yes, I agree. In fact, I'd be surprised if it doesn't surpass that number. But, it is my high/low range. I did forget to factor in Lisk speculators. If they get to dump their money for profit, and there are a lot of speculators interested in this coin, then we could see a huge surge of investments when Lisk goes live and is released to an active exchange.
