Hello, thank you for your interest in Waves Platform.
How does Waves get the word out about themselves with so many of the large platforms completely banning crypto advertising?
It is a politics of Waves Platform that cannot effect the developing of the project and scaling it all around the word.
As far as I know there is no successful or popular token that is made waves. Ethereum is still the best in terms of smart contract. IF waves didn't change its strategy other smart platform will overtake waves and they will leave behind in the race.
Waves Platform is intended for assets/tokens mainly. And the whole Waves ecosystem is build up around them: matcher, fast transactions, gateways, multi-cryptocurrency wallet, (smart contracts, atomic swap are coming soon). The Waves blockchain is faster than Ethereum, it is easier in use, and makes all the actions with tokens more comfortable. As for smart contracts, 90% of Dapps on Ethereum are tokens. We also have tokens that are native, simple and built into the platform. What is more tokens will also become smart when Smart accounts and Smart Assets are issued on Waves blockchain, that will allow users work with predictable price of assets, do quickly and safely basic tests as well.
What about the Waves project? I think that today people already know what Waves is and who is Alexander Ivanov. But the Waves project has a very bad feature, they have a lot of projects that are based on the Waves platform, which are scams and why the Waves do nothing to remove them.
There are lots of scam projects everywhere and all this is just the matter of people consciousness, which gets them in trouble in searching for easy money. Waves platform gives everyone freedom for bringing to life practically any incredible idea, but freedom is always conjugate to risk of wrong usage.
Best wishes,
