I admit that I fell over laughing at the BitShares guy; really, you want to compare Waves to BitShares?  He might be right that BitShares has had more time, but look at where Waves already is with less time.  Waves is an interesting crowdfunding platform and it will be fun to watch how it evolves in time.

Also, once glance at the history of bitUSD and bitGold and their "pegged assets" are absolute joke.  Kind of like Steem Dollars; can't seem to actually be $1!

Waves is now featured on what cryptocurrencies pay a dividend.
