So its 2017 and still no additional exchanges (specifically polo) that would cater waves. Its really anxious to see how it would fare .
A listing on Polo does not guarantee a price increase. Polo is doing nothing for Stratis as an example. The increased volume would help but in many cases just to dump. A good usable and solid coin will flourish on any exchange as people will go there to get hold of it.
What would make Waves price go up is some concrete delivery by Sasha and team and actually rolling out functionality in a production state for companies to adopt. Then we are talking.
This is true and is, what I personaly think as well. Polo, or no Polo, all is about what can Waves provide to users, then people will be looking for where is trading that coin. More exchanges will come shortly after, important is bring promised from Sasha and dev team functionality to platform.
