i believe ethereum is now too centralized and too big to be easily threatened by any other project specially since there is a lot of new coins being created every day (big mining reward) which adds to its total market cap and lots of advertisement that is filling the media for it and lots of ICOs to ensure its price stays up.
but this doesn't mean Waves is not going to grow big. it is a very good project with a lot of potential. and recently it has been growing well.
so do you think it is going to compete with ETH for the no.2 spot soon?
oh this number 2 spot again!
the funny thing is that if any coin can take that place, it woul be Waves! because it has 100 million supply compared to ethereum's 97 million and it is worth $9.23 right now with a lot of potential to reach $1000 and take the number 2 spot of ETH.
