Ok lets say like that Waves seems like a low level Ethereum to some degree. Waves wanted to offer the stuff but easier but in the end made it somehow crappier.
I mean all the ICOs on Waves were really bad and really low level ones.
On the other hand Sasha is really a guy who is into the stuff and that pushes WAves forwards!
That is the truth, I do not know any Waves project can increases the value of token to high price after crowdsale completed, even it has completed in a long time. Some projects used the Waves platform in parallel with the Ethereum platform but still become the failure project at the moment. Example: MobileGo, Suretly...
However, I do not know these projects still have chance to grow in future or not, because these projects still young.
