I really like Waves, but it's really too slow .. Cryptomarket is very fast and Waves team takes his time, which is good in real life, probably not in crypto ..
Good team
Good devs
Good long term view
But everything could be useless regarding the time they spent developping things..
Waves NG ? Nice but nobody needs that for now. New DEX ? Launch in December, still in BETA now .. New Gateway ? Useless, almost nobody is using DEX (except if you want to buy Waves with BTC, where there is small volume, on the other pairs it's nearly 0).
So I get that they want to create a whole product, but so far it's not a success and the more they wait, the more competitors overtake them.
IF they can create volume on DEX, IF they can catch market attention with a big ICO, then it could be very interesting. So far I'm not convinced anymore (after more than 1 year holding).
