Waves NG - has been released today making Waves the fastest blockchain in cryptocurrency. 1000+ transactions per second compared to 3 for bitcoin. I'm tired of waiting for 3 days for my bitcoin transaction to go through, and paying $30 USD. Bitcoin was the first and is well known with the media coverage it receives. Usually the first coin people buy. It's time for a new coin to take over, some day. I think Waves is the best!
These two things are different Blockchain technology. Both are decentralized and also allow for transfer of value, there some factors difference for one , waves is a platform that give access for the creation of custom tokens, Bitcoin is a digital currency thus is used for peer-to-peer transactions. Waves uses a different consensus mechanism than Bitcoin, it's focus on scalability. While Bitcoin is focus on decentralization and security.
Historically Bitcoin remains the winner because Bitcoin was the first crypto created, making Bitcoin the choice for everyone. Even though the transaction is very slow, only 3 Bitcoins per second, everyone still wants to have Bitcoin rather than other altcoins like Waves.
Waves has a very fast technology for more than 1,000 transactions in 1 second, but Waves is still less popular and now Waves has been delisted from the Binance market. It all comes back to each of us to judge each coin because each coin in this crypto has a different purpose.
