Does any one thinks that Ethereum can survive with the rising of Waves? I've heard that "Waves will be the next Ethereum"
I never heard that waves will top ethereum or will be the next ethereum, but I know waves has a potential. Waves and Ethereum is comparable because they do many almost the same tasks. But there are times that you may say why waves? why ethereum? Waves is designed for easy crowdfunding, it's pretty direct when it comes to token operations and fast transactions. Ethereum has a feature that waves doesnt have like the smart contracts.
I do not think any of the Waves team is concerned with overtaking Ethereum, not does it ever want to be competing with other platforms. That is actually one of my favorite things about Waves, they are simply focused on their platform and do not seem to give a hoot about the others being better than them.
Sure, they are comparable, but Ethereum is very corporate and high profile, Waves is still very rooted. Not saying they will not turn into a giant like ETH, but if they do, I hope they do not suffer the same hacks that are the big headache of ETH!
P.S. ETH has smart contracts actually,,,
