Waves enterprise is VST
It was rebranded.
Total available supply of WAVES is
100,000,000 WAVESTotal available supply of VST is
1 billion.
So, WAVES cann't be VST or some another rebrended, otherwise this will be another coin.
These two coins will be connected with a side chain and merged into a new native token so that russian army through rostec can dilute supply by 90% ownership control of new chain. This is why VST is x10 times more supply than waves.
Everything about this is clearly written in the articles, did no one read them?
The only question that remains is that one article says two will become one new native coin, and the other article says that these coins will not be merged at all.
Ivanov was paid $120 million and he could not refuse this partnership because there may be problems for him legally otherwise...He was hotel jumping and then got intercepted, this is very easy for FSB operatives to find him.
It is nothing strange here, this is typical how governments behave and there is not only bad news because Russian oligarchs and Putin is capital strong and can influence price alot to attract significant userbase.Most normal people will use this anyway, they don't understand anything about money and power.
All the early investors who have coins now, will probably be rich, but the price to pay is that the old centralized system still is in control.
But atleast, they cannot print new currency unless max supply is changed in the future. And because they have 90% majority stake, they can now decide everything with voting.
The reason why Russia is early in this industry is because of international economic sanctions, it is a problem for their lackeys to hide capital around the world now because of international treaties.
None of the top coins are decentralized, NEO is china, Binance - China, NEXO - Goldman, CMC - Goldman, Bitcoin is same rich people and governments as before.
This industry stopped being decentralized years ago in 2017 with bittrex subversion by American Government through KYC implementation.
It was very easy to contact developers and demand that they follow the rules of their military commanders, because these developers are unarmed.
I already proposed a mobile militia currency to counteract this subversion, like flash mob but on a more advanced level. So when these things happen with government blackmailing, the mobile militia can intervene and protect devs.
Crypto is a big problem for fiat central banks, they lose all power without their money. So they try to do something smart and fool everyone, but it is obvious how their game works.
Russian, China, US and EU will have separate interests and stakes in different chains, similar to baidu, vkontakte, facebook and so on. Waves/Vst can become Russias main entry into blockchain, perhaps there will be some local cryptos for national and municipal election tampering and so on, but the mother chain for all these could be Waves/Vst because no investor will put money into something that is obviously controlled by Kremlin or Central banks. So they use the back door method of subversion.
Did someone think that these century old super powers would simply disappear because of crypto? This is soft power of influence, there are alot of bad things that can happen if there is a shift towards use of traditional force, such as civil wars and mass criminalization and persecution of investors who do not follow the rules. In their mind, this method that is used here with VST, is like diplomacy. They take all - business as usual.
There cannot be a decentralized merchant and retail adoption because this is brick and mortar stores subject to border control and domestic law enforcement. These wealthy businesses have no where to run or hide from governments while still making money.
Global market cap over $1tn requires government control because the capital influx will be fueled by retail and merchant onramping with crypto/crypto payment gateways within 12 months.
Decentralization is a pipe dream of crypto anarchists and they can have their privacy masternode sandbox at a far corner of crypto space, but mainstream will always follow the herd. It is the people who choose this Neo Feudal model of society for 21st century due to passivity and compliance. Everyone gets out, the effort that is put-i-n.
