It is a pity that some people always criticize rather than analyze.
Look, Sasha said back in January or March, "MARKETING IS ON" and then a few months later suddenly announces a new project using technology paid for by Waves investors, with the bulk of the coins going to rich investors with 500K+ to invest. As I said, he has form in doing this, though at least in his earlier projects, he wasn't so elitist. He was paid MILLIONS to make Waves a success, and so he should stick with Waves until it becomes a success, to pay for the advance he was given, NOT promote a new project and say, "Waves was the second-most successful ICO at the time" - that means nothing! To date, not a single project of his has been successful.
The new makeover given to Waves exchange is also worrying - why is it being changed suddenly? Is everything being done on the hoof?
It's NOT my job to shill for Waves - Sasha should be promoting HIS product, but he's too lazy to bother - he takes Waves holders for fools.
He abandoned people in the past, coinomat, so I've lost faith in the guy. IT'S ALL ABOUT HIM!
Compare Sasha with the guy behind Lisk, Max Kordek:

He's sticking with his project, and hiring more people. That's what Sasha should be doing to give investors CONFIDENCE.
Hey TomThumb, why you think marketing is the key of success here? For sure things can be improved by the Waves team, but the platform is progressing with regular updates, soon smart contracts and atomic swaps are expected. Looking at facts, Waves team is still committed to this platform. Regarding Vostok, the intention is to complement the Waves platform, as centralized institutions will not work with public open blockchains. I compare it to Windows home and Windows Enteprise, both the same basic tech, but each serving a different market. Creating new funds for Vostok makes sense as the current Waves funds can remain to be used for the Waves platform developments. The strenght of the Waves platform is not only it's ICO platform, but a combined platform where ICO and DEX works together. Volumes on DEX are increasing daily and has the highest volumes of any DEX platform currently available. Good times ahead for Waves. If you still believe in Waves, keep positive and help contributing to the project instead of complaining. If you dont, sell your Waves tokens and move on with your life.
That's exactly what I wanted to say: VinnieG has a far reaching view of Waves.
In addition it is necessary to have a corresponding patience concerning the WAVES price.
TomThumb, when I read your part, I get the impression that it's about profit.
Sure, Vostok can be a risk,, but the Waves team has identified a problem and tried to respond accordingly.
Many other projects look straight ahead without reacting to external changes.
On the day that the WAVES price rises exponentially, most critics will say, as far as they are still invested:
"I have never doubted that waves will be a success."
Anyone who has prematurely sold in impatience and frustration will be annoyed accordingly.
I'll say it again, the current prices of each project are not meaningful.
To TomThumb, thanks for explaining Waves/Vostok relationship. Yes, Waves is a great project with a diligent team. However, complaining is just as valuable as hollow fan-boy endorsement. And no one is gonna sell their tokens and move on at $2.95. Get real.
To patoperro, yes it's about profit. Watching Waves fall below Dogecoin (a literal joke coin) on CMC is scandalous, and speaks to poor marketing. We are right to express our concerns.
I agree that the Waves team can improve their communication on the selling points of the plaform to the world to increase mass adoption, but only looking at CMC/price as a measurement of success is narrow minded. If you are a real investor and look for profit, look at other value propositions. Prices are manipulated as hell by wales and timing is important. If you did not time correctly and are in a loss, don't blame the Waves marketing for this.
