Waves, just like Etherreum and others are suffering the bear market, Ethereum was $1437 when Waves was $17. Also both have delayed progress, where is Sharding and POS on Ethereum which I heard of a long time ago ??!!
I believe waves would be next Ethereum. For this, we just need some time and need a big market cap. When BTC was ATH,Waves coin price was $17 and I think its a good sign. It's the best time to buy some waves and full the bag. I am trying to buy waves nowadays.
The platform has good prospects. I think the market is waiting for big players to buy more coins from promising projects very cheaply. Then there will be a rapid increase in prices and the entry point to the market will not be the same as now.
