Waves is overrated. There are many decentralized exchange projects. Waves' team is very lazy, they never work. That's why Waves will never be valued.
Not only overrated, they actually plagiarized codes from Cardano!

It has come to my attention that Waves is representing the scorex codebase and our whitepapers as their work for the purposes of holding a crowdsale. Iohk has no relationship with Waves. The scorex core developers are iohk employees and will not be collaborating in any capacity with the Waves team. We do NOT endorse their sale or claims.
We cannot stop Waves from using Scorex as a foundation for their project as it is open source; however, none of the Waves team have made any contributions to scorex and again the lead developer of scorex will not collaborate with Waves.

Hmm... I am personally staying out of Waves if their developer need to plagiarize from the hard work of Cardano's team.
This doesn't reflect well on the abilities/calibre of the developers of Waves.
If their team need to take codes build by other teams because of their incapability, at the very least, they will need to accurately give due credit to the team who have put in the actual/real work (e.g. explicitly include citations and references).
I come from a scientific academic background, and such behaviour is seriously not ethical nor acceptable at all. This should not be tolerated.
I have just sold my small Waves holdings at a slight loss in protest of this behavior.
