WIill waves have the same boom that ethereum had last year (2016) or not?
Will it kill Ethereum?
This is not possible because even Waves is now already existing for a while but still Ethereum platform was the top pick and the most commonly used by most of the ICO to support their projects. Most of us will choose not to join ICO if they will use the Wave platform therefore like Bitcoin, Ethereum now already build a deep foundation of trust at the most potential Altcoins in the market.
