Waves has picked up a lot of momentum & will be a big mover over the next 18 months.
Also Waves don't hype their coin like other projects do, instead opting for organic growth.
Sasha has been getting attention from mainstream media in Russia and now has made headways with a Russian political party who has launched a token on the Waves platform. Look up Boris Titov, a Russian billionaire appointed by Putin as the Russian business ombudsman. He has met with Sasha and it's his party that have launched the coin!
Instead of Sasha trying to convince little teenage boys on bitcointalk to invest in his coin, he's actually got off his arse and made a whole bunch of major business connections and partnerships.
You have to wonder what the motives are behind people that make a constant effort to bash the project - I guess they just want cheap coins!
