How could it be an ethereum killer while waves coin is less far than ethereum itself? Waves is little bit questionable to me and I will be surprise if they can defeat the current standings of the ETH in future. But let see what will happen on it since there are some certain things that can lift up the waves but seems the dev of it can put it down since it's been tag with shadiness for the past days.
I really do not like it when people refer to Waves as an Ethereum killer,,, since when do people like to regard these platforms as competitors to each other? Besides, if price and not product is the estimate of success, then are we saying Bitcoin Cash is the winner, and it has killed Ethereum? Of course not.
Waves to me has already incredible use as a decentralized exchange. The ease of use and basic attractiveness of the GUI is a beauty. Give it time, people will come on board. And they do not need to abandon Ethereum or anything. Just another tool, with different uses.
