recently a lot of people have started investing in waves and have converted their coins into waves.
i havent done much research about waves,but i have recently seen some sites accepting waves as their payment.
so do you think it is going to compete with ETH for the no.2 spot soon?
or will ETH always be in a league of its own.

they dont threathen each other both are just miner powered encription systems they help encript obligations in form of token, thats it

speculants are to stupid to get whats going on here, speculants have pumped up ethereum price, so vitalik had to decrease amount of gas needed,

this then leads to different plattforms becoming valuable because their gas is less speculants infected.

No, i think it doesnt. Probably only NEO poses some threat to ETH at the moment.

Per my understanding, the answer is just "NO", there is NO Threat what so ever.
we have seen and heard of a many #ALTs trying to be the replacements for existing ones, saying #BCASH to $BTC, and a lot many against $ETH, but it is not happening, they just cant do the flipping.
I do believe in Waves too, but comparing it with ETH at the moment is a lot to think about, specially when $ETH keeps on growing and with ETH 2.0 coming into picture, others dont stand a chance.

I don't think. Maybe later but not now.
They are different and have enough room for both and others.
When Waves implement smart contracts and have many independent developers on the platform then we can think about it again. I don't think Waves has enough time and development to become decentralized so far. I like their visions though.

WAVES can not now become a competitor for ETH. Last year ETH was developing very fast and WAVES were already falling behind in development from ETH. This platform requires updates in order to compete with ETH plus it needs strong projects.

I do not think that even the most optimistic forecasts would show that Wave will reach the level of ETH, Waves are popular for the time, but it's different weight categories.

A threat? Maybe no...

Competition? Yes.

They are both high-tech platforms. They can transact cryptocurrency and money, create and transfer new tokens, run ICOs, run a decentralized exchange, run smart contracts (in near future for waves) and much more. So they can be considered rivals, although there has never been bad blood between them.

All these waves vs. ETH topics remind me of this old pic:

I dont think as of the moment that Waves will post a threat to Ethereum. The Eth blockchain has so much advantage to waves.
Refer to this thread for practical comparison.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/waves-vs-ethereum-2019276

This thread is just full of posts where people express opinion, I don't see any constructive thoughts on eth and waves there (the thread is extremely long to look through everything, though.

in my own opinion waves do not pose a threat to Ethereum because the two coins are very much different Etereum is much more stable and always increasing.

I would not say eth is more stable. They both experience price fluctuations. At least waves is a bug-free platform and it gives it a big advantage over eth. Another thing is that on eth you have to program a coin, whereas on Waves you can interactively create a token, so waves is a lot easier to use. Waves is a strong project, but in the world of cryptos the first one wins more often than the strong one, so I guess eth will always be in top-5 no matter how many other improved coins appear.

No doubt wave is a good coin but I do not see anything now that wave is a threat to ethereum. Ethereum is a far ahead to waves. Waves has a long way to go ahead to surpass the eth but eth is very strong at the moment & growing steadily. Waves is nowhere to eth. Ethereum is strong because most of the new coins launched on Erc20 support and very rare coins are waves supportable.

As Wave going from right now, I don't think it will pose a threat to ETH because Wave is different from ETH.

I never thought that waves could threaten the position of ETH because eth is a pretty popular coin and a lot of people are starting to recognize eth, and I think the opportunity is NEO because now I often come across ICO projects that use NEO.

I am yet to see a successful ICO under waves but ETH have lots of them. And then NEM is also slowly coming into the picture. I think it will be a tough competition and waves will still take years before it can compete with ETH.

Waves can't even compete with cardano, And, does it make sense to see waves will try to fight with ethereum? Ethereum is the only competitor to the bitcoin right now.
When you realize about the fact that there will be a lot of projects will try to make another copycat of smartcontract. Ethereum will be leading the smartcontract platform.

But waves still too far from ethereum. you must forget to think waves as ethereum competitor.

IMO it's not a competition.
We ALL should more care about the mass adoption of the whole crypto market. Waves and Ethereum are both great projects.

Waves has no chance to surpass Ethereum. But it's way undervalued atm and has potential to go up 10x this year for sure... so I'm gonna hold my bag of Waves

Nothing is impossible in crypto. Waves is one of the good coins and I really think it will be at top10 in 2020. Now it does not pose threat to eth though.

HODLing is an art, not just a word...

i believe ethereum is now too centralized and too big to be easily threatened by any other project specially since there is a lot of new coins being created every day (big mining reward) which adds to its total market cap and lots of advertisement that is filling the media for it and lots of ICOs to ensure its price stays up.

but this doesn't mean Waves is not going to grow big. it is a very good project with a lot of potential. and recently it has been growing well.

oh this number 2 spot again!
the funny thing is that if any coin can take that place, it woul be Waves! because it has 100 million supply compared to ethereum's 97 million and it is worth $9.23 right now with a lot of potential to reach $1000 and take the number 2 spot of ETH.

I can't see wave as a threat to ethereum will tip eos network instead. Ethereum is a threat to bitcoin not the other way round.

The project that waves compares should not be ETH, it should be XRP.
It is true that as more and more websites support waves, it may be a threat to XRP, but not ETH, ETH and waves are two different types of tokens.
