I think that Waves is a great coin,

It has a solid road map coming up over the next 6 months - a year and has already proven that it can run its own Exchange and host a number of ICO tokens on their platform.

The main benefit of waves for me is the Leased POS system that they incorporate, I can leave my waves leasing, check back in a months time and see what coins, both Waves/Mining and new ICO launches have been given to me.

I think the price is good at the moment, it can easily hit the same mark as NEO in my opinion, which has allot less to show for its value.
