WIill waves have the same boom that ethereum had last year (2016) or not?
Will it kill Ethereum?
No. Waves are not good like you think, if it were, so long ago they would be higher, but for now they are far behind. Its price is low and do not look good to invest now, i think is it good only for really long hold but ethereum will start growing from 700 dollars in next weeks and probably will achieve over 1000 dollars
