It is crazy to compare these projects!
Look at NEO`s community and projects based on its blockchain and then take a look at Waves

Do you know at least 1 big project based on Waves blockchain , except Wagerr?
well,, NEO is great and very potential, but i believe if waves is good too
even there are a little great project born on wavesplatform,
remember my friend there are a lot of shitokens born on ethereum too, so, thats not a kind of big issue ,,

and waves already have a good decentralized exchange called by wavedex right ?
