everyone who put btc, time, and effort into waves has been punished as of this point. its been no gain all pain for waves holders
It's never been easy, not only waves, basically, all of alts are doing the same. Let's say Wanchain, I bought it at 17k satoshi and now it's around 2k satoshi.
compared to Wan, Waves is doing fine, to be honest. It's just it is not time yet.
I know a person who bought Waves around 80k satoshi but overall situation is pretty hard for all altcoins it doesn't matter what is going on. I also Waves will show good performance when there will be some kind of relief will come.
