In my opinion, waves have more potential than ETH, NEO, Qtum or Lisk
Not only because I think Waves has more to offer, but also because Waves is totally undervalued by comparison.
Look at ETH or NEO, what they had for a rise since their ICO.
Waves does indeed have a lot to offer, I would not say that it has more potential than ETH/NEO etc but at least equal, eventually. It definitely has been lagging behind all the others since it's inception, it deserves a lot more. All we can do is be patient and let the team continue creating good functionality and spreading the word of the Waves ecosystem.
