Hey crypto-investors, today I want to introduce you another underdog coin with considerably potential in future: Waves. This is a versatile 2.0 platform that allows users to trade tokens of value on a fully decentralized network. Gateways enable users to hold tokens which representing USD, Bitcoin or other forms of money - even gold, pieces of companies, physical or intellectual property. The Waves Platform is running its own blockchain based on a Proof-of-Stake algorithm. The blocktime is 60 seconds and each block has a capacity of 100 transactions.
The Waves ICO started at April 2016 and was very successful - during the ICO period the Waves Platform gathered 29636 Bitcoin. After this, it became rather quiet around the coin, although development and promotion of this project continued steadily. Month after month the Waves platform informed their investors about news, updates and further development - but Wave's price was pretty unimpressed therefrom. Bigger exchanges like Poloniex also doesn't add Waves until today. Somehow understandable - a centraliced exchange like Poloniex don't want to add the coin of their potentially future hangman, because Waves is a decentralized exchange platform. Bittrex is the only mentionable exchange where Waves is directly available at the moment. The total supply of Waves is 100,000,000 coins.
To cut a long story short - after a very long time of stagnation (basically since their ICO), the Waves rate moves up clearly since a few weeks. Meanwhile you can lease your Waves coins by "leased proof-of-stake" (LPoS) which allows you to raise your assets while retaining full control of your coins. Also, new coins/tokens can be created within the Waves platform. Both sounds very promising and Waves rate began to react appropriate now. Although it reaches it's all-time-high today (~$2.60), the coin is still affordable - yet. But many insiders talking about Waves as sleeper with huge growing potential for 2017 and 2018 - the real breakthrough of this coin is yet to come.
However, I´m not a clairvoyant, but as conservative and careful investor I also have a very good feeling about Waves. I can recommend you at least to keep this coin at the back of your mind. If you want to invest, you shouldn't wait too long - the Waves train is ready for departure right now, while so many people didn´t have it on their radar currently . Much more detailed infos about Waves you find at their official website www.wavesplatform.com. Waves Token coins itself are available at Bittrex exchange www.bittrex.com/Market/index?MarketName=BTC-WAVES
Concluding, I say "thank you" for your attention and "sorry" for my rookie English - this isn't my first language.
