Are tokens in Waves a full-fledged cryptocurrency?

Question

Cryptocurrency

I honestly read the contents of waveswiki.org, but a significant part of the points did not become more obvious to me. Help, please, if someone has already figured this out.
1. Are there alternatives to this platform with identical functionality? For Waves, despite a strong start, still looks frankly raw and never friendly. They could have hired at least one normal specialist in creating interfaces and another one in developing the eco-environment for these millions gained through the ICO.
2. I am a beginner in cryptography and blockchain, and to be honest, I have no desire to get into these elliptic curves up to my ears at all. However, I want to understand this:
- are the tokens issued within the Waves platform a full-fledged cryptocurrency (such as BTC etc.) or not?
Well, that is, on the one hand, of course, it is convenient that you can easily issue your tokens without downloading the blockchain, and immediately start trading them on the exchange built into the wallet. But on the other hand, it is not entirely clear:
2.1 Are transactions with tokens issued by me written to the blockchain or not?
2.2 If they are written, how can they be viewed in this blockchain?
2.3 If all of a sudden tomorrow (let's say) all the staff of Waves go on a drinking binge for a year or something else happens to them - my tokens, it turns out, will be covered with a copper basin, or what?
2.4 Is it possible that these tokens issued by me will be stolen? But not with me, but with Waves. Well, like how recently there was an infa from some crypto-exchange that 7000 BTC were stolen from them and therefore excuse everyone and pack-pack (-:
And one more thing:
- Can I (or someone else), for example, write my own wallet for Waves?
- Is it possible to clone this system to improve its functionality?
Thanks in advance for your replies!

Answer 1

you can’t clone
tokens they won’t steal
Wawes - * luck is
something like this,
and those, if you want to figure it out, delve into Bitcoin Ethereum, not into trading, but the blockchain itself - blocks, browsers, etc.
