Waves has some potential, but not Ethereum potential. They got hacked, their platform is less popular. Investors are still there because marketcap is still quite small. I believe in Ethereum more.
Well the biggest blockchain hack in crypto history was the DAO - hence we have Ethereum & Ethereum Classic. Also I do not recall Waves getting hacked beyond the recent purile social engineering hack on their DNS for wavesplatform.com. Not a problem for anyone with more than a week's worth of experience of basic web security.
So you have a very short, or selective memory, my friend.
