Why WAVES? I have had some WAVES since 2017 because I believed in the DEX technology that was presented in addition to a possible replacement for ETH. But today I think a little differently, WAVES actually has a strong duty to deliver products and be valued because it was an ICO and that's all. ETH was also an ICO and justified its collection. Many investors are expecting something similar from WAVES, at least there has been a slight appreciation in recent weeks.
The complaints are always been their platform they should make it something more appealing to traders, I like the transactions and how fast the transaction speed is, but there are new coins that also has good speed and making progress as well.
By the way, eos even big jumps show, I think you should not worry, it's just an indicator of progress and an answer to positive actions in development.
