As far as I know, Waves is also a coin from Russia that carries technology about Smartcontracts so the information used to be that Waves was an Ethereum Killer but in fact Waves was actually less popular because of the strength, solidity and technology owned by Ethereum.
Waves is also now losing its community, after the removal of Waves from Binance I am sure all the Waves community felt devastated so I think that Waves is now more suitable for short-term trading than for long-term trading because I think it is better to secure assets.
