I think the waves platform should be of interest to this community. It has an already functioning decentralized exchange. I've traded on it and while right now it has low liquidity and a very simple client, it is fast, cheap, and decentralized. The implications to me as a trader are...

That That was my only reason I didn't buy in at $1.00. ooops.

I think the take away is that you have to think for yourself. There is massive opportunity right now along with plenty of chances to buy garbage...

Not sure why we need another thread...2 most expensive crypto btc bch are the least useful of the bunch. It's a matter of time before they drop and the money all goes to the useful ones.
