instead, I have different question: how many people actually read the white paper?
Lots of people read it http://wavesplatform.com/whitepaper_v0.pdf
I did too, instead of being newbie...
And it seems to me that Waves can get somwhere if it's played smart by its team...
still, I have a feeling many are here just for free bounties and hoping for easy $ after Waves are tradable...
I didnt bother with Lisk,DAO etc but I had some coinousd for a long time and when you look at the devs other projects waves has a good chance of acheiving its goals like attracting financial institutions to work on open blockchains and also implementing some form of decentralised KYC etc but this time he will have proper funding and btw he is also an expert at forex bot tech so thats all plus plus too.looks like a good slow and steady project but the pump dump stuff in some comments are really just distractions from the mundane I think.
