The Waves platform announced very proudly they are now a crypto unicorn (over 1B$ market cap). Then they stated they have planned improvements of their technology to be able to handle 1000s of transactions per second in Q3 2018. That more than 9 months from now.
I suddenly realized that with a capacity of 3700+ Tx/s (source: blocktivity.info) on the Steem blockchain, we are lightyears ahead of them!
I think once the word gets out to some big cryptowhales, Steem will be unicorn very very quickly.
Is Waves any good? I didn't spend much time looking at it because nothing especially compelled me to investigate it more deeply.
I wouldn't know. I just saw something on the internets..
