I have been researching NEO to understand what it is, it’s roots, how it works and its storage options.

Many articles exist that explain the “differences” between Ethereum and NEO, but they do the debate little justice. They skim over things, don’t explore them well, explore only one aspect, or aren’t holistic in their analysis and don’t explain why the differences even matter and what their relevance to the real world is.

Therefore, I would like you to share your opinions about NEO and Ethereum, explain which one is a better long term investment then justify your reasoning.

This discussion is already in the marketplace section I hope. In popular smart contracts comparison ethereum is widely used for creating the new projects in the market but NEO seems emerging now.
We need to find the good project investors who have to create their tokens using the ERC20 eth smart contracts.
Investment wise ethereun is the best coin in the complete crypto currency market.

I hold, and will continue to hold, both. 

I prefer NEO platform because it has more advance technology than ethereum's plus the erc20 tokens seems to be oudated by NEP5 tokens which is under NEO's platform,NEO is has already started to expand,in fact there are new coins that are being developed in NEO's platform which is great because the community has started to take some step forward so we can have more complex coins than erc20 tokens.

Ethereum all the way. Although it may not take off as much as NEO eventually might, at the end of the day, Ethereum is way more reliable for me. As such, I have no doubts using Ethereum as a long term investment.

I would totally go for ETH. The good fame (barring scammy ICO) ETH has brought to the crypto world, no other coin even comes close to it. Secondly, I think ETH is much more FUD resistant than NEO. ETH is pretty much stable in that respect. Just a few months ago, we all saw what happened to the NEO prices when China banned the ICOs. Right now also Chinese Govt. is very strict against all cryptos. I don't see a good future of NEO, until either China softens on cryptos or devs decide to relocate entirely.

And if you ask me which coin is the biggest competitor of ETH, then it is EOS for sure. Gotta see, which one gets more support, EOS or ETH.

Of these coins, I would definitely choose ETH as it is more competitive and reinforced by a good plan and a strong team that will bring it to peak this year.

ETH: more reliable but less profitable.
NEO: more profitable but less reliable.

so when you invest on these coins,you should take in considaration this.

personally, i like risk and i prefer NEO

buy both of them , both have a bright future and also buy LTC .

i love all these 3 coins for long term investment
and for main coin btc is always my 1st choice .

If i am going to choose on Ethereum and Neo i will choose Ethereum because it was much more stable than Neo also being the second biggest crypto currency i am pretty sure that it has more and full potential than Neo . Ethereum also can dominates crypto currency according to some expert and can surpass what Bitcoin has done in the past. Ethereum also has the possibility to become the new face of crypto currency in the future.

Choose ETH as of now - no doubt about that. Going forward NEO might become more useful, but there is high risk associated with that. May be put in a 75-25 allocation, with 75% being ETH, rest NEO - this is just between these two coins.

 Will for me i choice ethereum. Ethereum has more security than other coin. And very awesome block chain and smart contract thats make him unique.and i think ethereum have big potential and popularity than neo. Neo cant use in investing ico while ethereum they can. Because maby ico know how ethereum secured.

NEO is a altcoins based on its own blockchain, despite its own fast grown in short time i dont think it is more reliable than Ethereum, ethereum is more stable than any other altcoins, we use ETH more common than NEO and ETH is used by many ICOs than any other platforms. So i will keep investing ETH rather than NEO.

I also go for etherium,it has a great developer,more stable,advanced technicalities and it is not surprising that it ranks as second to bitcoin.Although Neo have a potential but i think the majority will still choose etherium.This is just an opinion and everyone has their own.

The only profitable thing from neo is the gas emission for those neo staking holders. but ethereum gives a better user friendly platform rather than neo which easy to be used by a lot of people around the world. Remember there is a lot of people interested to developer 3rd development for neo project.

NEO is very promising but still has to prove itself. Over 90% of ICO's are done on the Ethereum platform.

for long-term investment, it seems to me much prefer NEO because it still has chances to ascend to a higher price. In addition, see further development is also nicer NEO.

Both. NEO is superior to Ethereum in many aspects but Ethereum has the advantage of scale. They belong to the same class of blockchain and are good bets.

I suggested you have to choose them instead choosing one of them. Both of them has a really big potential in the future and it will start this year. Just HODL Bitcoin, ETH and NEO just diversify it properly. Like 20$ on Bitcoin, 40% on ETH and 40% on NEO.

I'm more familiar with ETH than NEO so I prefer ETH. The ETH platform is generally an option on every ICO project so it has good potential as many people use it.

It's tough question, ETH & NEO both features different but goal are same. But NEO will become more popular for trader for free gas holding NEO. Lot's people don't know about free gas so when this news available to most of people it will grow.

Yes it is, many people now comparing both ERC20 and NEP5 tokens with their respective advantages. From the point that I see, the NEO is a good progress for the next smart-contract project development, so it is not just dependent on ERC20. NEO, which is a Chinese-made Ethereum, use Blockchain technology to digitize the assets using smart contracts and common programming language. Currently I am more interested to invest in NEO and see its development in 1 this year.

IMO i prefer ethereum for long term based on it s potential  which is until now it keep pumping although there are some fluctuation.  And as i see eth is the most secure alt in the market and it has a good team behind so even you hold it for a long term no more worries and for sure it will give us a good return after.  And also NEO is not yet popular so perhaps its not good for long term. 

I think both are good coins, but the difference lies in its fame where eth is already well-known compared to NEO and most ICOs are already using Eth but it seems that in the future Neo will also be comparable.

The real difference between neo and ethereum is adoption of technology based on region.Neo getting popular because lots of Chinese investors looking to invest for neo based project and also rumour about Chinese government support for neo. Where ethereum is already proven blockchain technology for creating smart contracts and holding lots of successful projects even some gaming solution like crypto kitties and decentralised exchanges etherdelta , idex .

both of them has a good potential.. maybe you can divide your investment for 2 part for two of them..

The difference between Ethereum and NEO; Ethereum is "developing in response to new demands" while NEO is "developing their platform in anticipation of future demands". So I prefer NEO because it will favour for long term investment.

Neo is the murderer of ethereum and some people call it the shadow of Ethereum, since Neo is allegedly using a almost identical system with ethereum, much speculation that Neo will be a tough competitor Ethereum for the foreseeable future.
For long-term investment of course i choose Neo, the reason as i mentioned above.

If you have the money to buy both it would be great, Eth has the first move advantage and it will not be overtaken by Neo anytime soon, Neo on the other hand is very early at this stage could give better gains at the moment. It would depend on how much you want to buy. One advantage of neo is the Gas it gives you also need to put that into consideration.

I really like both Ethereum and Neo. I think if it's hard to decide which coin to choose, it makes sense to give 50% to Eth and 50% to Neo  :) Anyway if i had to choose only one, it would be Ethereum.

I also like both, but at the moment on the eve of chinese new year NEO looks more promising

If you are going to check the interface and their similarities it is almost the same actually, They are both good to  hold em in long term which can give us big rewards after 2 to 3years from now. So for me I don't need to choose between the of them. Due to I hold them both in a long term anyway.

For me, it doesn't look like the erc20 tokens are being outdated by neo's. In fact its seems that projects are still coming and coming with the erc20 token. It still keeping up. And the market is still really active. Eth has its advantage now. And neo is still just starting and has so much rooms for improvement. If compared to a Man's cycle, Eth would be a teenager and neo is still a baby. So I would suggest to go for eth.

both is good is good
but you can chose the creator you like
and I think you should hold both because in crypto there is nothing imposible

if you can hold both ,that would be great .if not , in terms of ROI ,i think NEO has more potential to grow than ETH (given marketcap value of both) .However,in terms of value ,i think ETH is more valuable asset as most ICO now rely on ETH .

both of them have a great future IMHO, so they will be my long term investment, devide into 70% for Ethereum and 30% NEO. for me ethereum is still will my Biggest percentage investment because it has solid project & development also have a large community .

I'll go for both to enjoy the best of both worlds. You'll never be wrong with choosing  both of them for long term in my honest opinion.

Both will do well in my opinion.

Ethereum is doing well as it is the default blockchain to go to for new token launches and they have the most developers working on the blockchain developments. Hence this is the most reliable smart contract blockchain in my opinion. Many are just trying to compete with ETH but none has really garnered the same type of support like ETH.

NEO will be the Ethereum of China. New ICO from china are launching on NEO and they seems to be tolerated by the chinese government despite the government banning ICO and crypto trading. I believe that (my personal opinion) that NEO must have agreed to share information with the government and to comply with all the government's regulations. This would give NEO a real stake in China's crypto future.

I am vested in both. But I think the greater gains would come from NEO eventually.
