One exchange for this huge ico was so poor planning I'm not happy at all with the direction. Poloniex should have been a must or otherwise delayed the launch. Hate to beat a dead horse but it was a huge let down. The fact they still haven't listed it is jaw dropping and totally fucked up tbh.

Yes with hindsight holding off launch until several exchanges including Poloniex and possibly some popular Chinese exchanges were involved would have been better.

A small exchange like Bittrex is too easily manipulated and just does not get enough traffic to benefit from the ebb and flow of volume that larger exchanges get.

Just witness the long dead altcoins from 2014 that have been pumped recently as investors desperately try to exit from ether/DAO and also due to the pre-halving jitters over BTC. WAVES could have benefitted greatly from that.

I can also sympathise with Sasha and the rest of the team - holding off the launch would have resulted in much anger and flaming from the ICO flipper brigade who just wanted to sell their WAVES ASAP to move on to the next ICO. It was a difficult situation and they gave in to pressure from the flippers.

Unfortunately what's done is done and it seems things are gradually moving in the right direction.

The lesson here to set better expectations. Saying 'trading' (which people thought meant polo-sized exchanged because it was never clarified) would start June 14th (quickly after ICO) with buy walls drew in a large crowd, but it set up unrealistic deadlines. It would have been better to say July 14th and launch with polo / bittrex and the good news. The Waves team has been doing solid work, and the fundamentals are as good as they get in crypto. But if you do good work, but overstate expectations people will get rightfully upset.
