Taking a look at 12 months from now what would you invest in, when you have to pick a safe coin? Safe means extremely low risk of loss in value, but obviously a smaller percentage of increment in price per token.
I'd like to hear your consideration, other coins that match this profile are accepted as well.

Both are safe to invest. NEO has a lot room to grow this year we may see it. We may look into Monero, NEM, VEN imo every has potential.

I already have eth right now but not neo. I have heard that neo is one of the altcoins that has potential to kick in this year. Honestly I have so many altcoins in my mind that I want to invest in and one of them is neo. So thinking which one of the two you want to go in to? I suggest that you try them both. it's worth it.

For a long term like that I think both of this should be safe invesment, and for me ETH still better investment than NEO. IMO top 30 coin on CMC list have a strong community and large market so make an investment on it should be low on risk.

If you choose one between the two coins I recommend for choosing ethereum. Ethereum is more potential because of some projects that support against cryptocurrency, can be sure the price will be high. But the safe thing is you keep both coins, can be seen in several days back NEO go through a good increase when the price of bitcoin and altcoin decreased. And the last, investment is depends on our capital, if our capital is a lot then we will get a profit many as well and otherwise.

Dont forget ETH Casper project (proof of stake), that could have lasting implications of the price of Ethereum...and also likely Ethereum Classic, if gpu miners go from ETH to ETC.

ethereum is still the favorite platform of ico, but we should not underestimate neo, as some ico are getting interested in using neo platforms. both are good and worth it if you want to invest there.

Analyze coins from the top 20 coinmarketcap and choose the most interesting in your opinion.

I think neo should be better than eth, and there is a lot more room for neo to rise than eth, so I prefer to invest in neo instead of eth.

neo is also known as "chinese ethereum" has good potential and rapid development, there are even some ICO that initially use Ethereum platform switch using Neo platform, both are equally good, but for now I prefer Ethereum, because many platforms used on ICO, especially in the use of ERC-20, are increasingly popular today, so in my opinon ethereum more profitable

Both ethereum and neo have the same similarity, they are high profile coins and they are also blockchain-based and specifically designed to host smart contracts, DApps and ICOs in a decentralized concept. Ethereum is leading the way while neo is slowly inching up and since it is comes from China, it will have a big home market in the future. Both coins are also safe to use for long term investment. Other coins that is safe for investment are bitcoin, litecoin, ripple and monero.

These two coins are high profile coins based on Blockchain coins. Since one year I have been observing that these 2 coins are performing quite well. Undoubtedly any one can invest in these coins.

In my opinion, bot of them are good coin. I've been following ETH and NEO almost 6 month. The progress is quite amazing. ETH has been widely adopted by ICO project. NEO look like the next ETH from CHINA. But I disagree with your statement which is you need an extremely low risk assets. Cryptospace is dangerous and hard to predict.

Thanks for your honest answers! I'll cherish them.  :)

I bought "ANS" last summer. It did cost 1 $ for one coin. Later i sold them 10 $ for each and was very satisfied with the result. Until the price hit 50$. I bought again and the china's government banned ICO and the price started to fall very soon. I decided that NEO is doomed and i sold a half of holdings. Now i'm happy i didn't sell everything.

Check out Kepler

Its worth the read if u want to consider a serious project 250 cap should speak for itself . And a project worth this comunity atention and participation. Why ? It will eventually contribute to Bitcoins overall performance and increase overall market cap. SO be it 10 USD or 10 Btc lets thing long term not day to the moon trading that aint happening

If you are looking for something to invest in safely, one of the uniqueness of crypto is its very high risk. if you want to play it safe then I suggest never invest in just one coin. I mean this, if you only invest in one coin, you will incur losses when the price drops away from the purchase price. however, if you have some coins you will not be worried about the price drop because you still have another coin that is going up

The time has not yet come when you can safely predict the change in the value of any crypto currency. This year is complicated: the world states have not yet decided exactly with their attitude to the crypto currency, and there are many new improved coins in the market. As before, one can invest in bitcoin and ethereum,
since these are crypto currencies with minimal risk.

Nobody knows what gains will be made, they can only speculate. ETH has already proven itself, NEO is a rising contender.

You can never go wrong with NEO long term. Way lower in Market Cap value which theoretically means higher potential. Also Neo produces gas on the daily which is a huge bonus.

NEO is really cool because you get GAS dividends daily still probably more upward potential than Ethereum.

There are no safest coins to invest in,you need to know that our market has high volatility that could rise and fall in just few hours,NEO and ETH are solid coins which has their own platform,do a lot of research so that you will which one is better,but i prefet NEO because it is an upgraded version of ETH which has a lot more advance technology,future proof NEP5 tokens are promising and most of the developers are starting to use NEO over ETH.

NEO is far more greater than ETH,and it is getting more massive this year the new developers are starting to use NEO's platform over ETH's because it has more advance technology and it is future proof than ETH,but you need to do your own research so that you will have a good idea to what i am claiming to,NEP5 tokens are far more advance than ERC20 tokens that is why NEO could replace ETH's position in the future.

I agree with the opinion that there are no particularly stable coins on the market, everyone can have a significant drop and not predictable growth, for this reason I would not like to advise you something. Decide only you, what will you invest.

I think both of them are really safe, the question behind you r question which one will give you more profit. considering their actual price i think neo will be more profitable

Both these coins NEO and Ether are really safe investments. If you are looking for something similar, then look at Stellar. This year a real breakthrough is expected. And the project itself is very promising and it is actively developing.

Both ETH and NEO will be safe. All cryptocurrences from top20 (by cap size) are safe for investions at least for long-term investment. For example Stellar, Litecoin and definetely BTC.

Any of these coins would be a safe investments because these are the most solid platform in the whole cryprocurrency community,NEO is better because it has more advance technology than ethereum which is being outdated by the NEP5 tokens which could replace the ERC20 tokens in the future but it is depends in you because if you want more future proof platform that would be NEO.

IoT Chain (ITC) is great. They're going up against IOTA with better tech. Their main net is set to launch this year. Been holding pretty steady since december. https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/iot-chain/

I would say qtum and nano are the low risk coins that you can invest in. The other I like and support are Waves and Monero.

Both are safe to invest. But if i need to choose i will prefer NEO. This coin looks very promising for me, and now starts a lot of NEO based ICOs and airdrops . Also cold mining is very profitable if you have big portfolio. But Ethereum will be safer.
Regards.

These are two coins with huge potential and good future. ETH is better than NEO in several aspects but  i think id take both for a long term investment. yo stand to gain more with both of them

Yes, neo not only provides a great platform for Dapps and ICO’s, but it also provides passive income in the form of GAS which is tradable and can be exchanged for fiat money or other crypto currencies on exchanges such as binance, etc. recently new project called ontology was launched on the platform of neo and it has a real life application of connecting the blockchain with real life info and storing them with security and privacy. So in all neo will be far more than ethereum in neo future in terms of market cap value.

ICO base on ETH is more 1000s than Neo ICO

I agree with the fact that ripple is also a great coin for long term investment. It has been announcing quite many partnerships recently with various banks and financial institutions world wide. Moreover ripple XRP is a well know company that has a reputation in market. XRP is a crypto that is solving real world problem of real money circulating in the world. It is helping to transfer money overseas with less transaction fees and high liquidity, scalability and speed.

Everything is in this world is not safe for life time, risk also has huge profit. If you don't risk a bit, you cannot earn huge profit. I would suggest you to go for any coins after thorough analysis on those prospects and growth potential, you are your own boss to decide and you are the one who face loss as well. Taking risk some times is worth of it, go for both Ethereum and Neo splitting your investment into two.

The only piece of advice you should cherish from this thread is one telling you there's no such thing as a safe cryptocurrency investment.  Bitcoin wasn't even intended to be an investment!  Traditional assets first , make sure your retirement is on track, and with the extra spending money buy cryptocurrency (if you've done your homework and believe in the tech).  Right now if you're looking for most stability with highest upside potential then Bitcoin, not Alts.  

 ETH love it or hate is easily the second most "stable" benefiting heavily from early mover advantage, Coinbase, and sexy sounding smart contracts.  That could change in 6 months, a year ...who knows.  

Did you use any metrics to determine which of them are likely to grow? I'd like to know how I can know whether a coin has a great potential for growth.

Do homework.  Stop being lazy.  Asking someone who said they both are "safe to invest" is probably not a wise move to say the least.

I consider Ethereum a low risk investment. There are chances that it may lose value but it definitely wont take a huge dip. NEO has a very big potential but isn't as established as ETH, its still has a long way to go.

If you had asked this question to me few weeks ago, I would have said eth. But I got to know about neo not long ago. I studied their project and technology and I was pretty amazed at what great work is being done by it. Also the team working on neo is pretty hard working and awesome. Their platform is trying to solve some real world problems and making digital solutions for them. It’s a bridge to connect the outside world with digital experience. Moreover neo has been working hard for the past year and has gained quite much interest from investors looking for great platform with modern technology.

Yes, I agree on your statement and view. Other than neo and ethereum, the other risk free coins will be VEN, XMR and NEM. These coins also have high potential and great technology. There is still plenty much of room for these cryptos to grow in the market.

XMR is know to have great security next to bitcoin in matter of transaction and is one of the most decentralized blockchain that exists currently. XMR also has an upcoming fork on 14th of march, so we are surely gonna see some spike in the price.

Then I suggest you invest in BTC and NEO, because these two tokens, even in a bear market, but it has been a rising trend, ETH not look good, however the ETH because as the ICO market cooled, so to reduce the demand for the ETH.

Hmm, this is quite interesting for me. I just found out that NEO can produce GAS. I am a little bit curious, how do I get the GAS?
Should I hold NEO on specific amounts? Maybe I'll try to research it later.

Both coins are good in market, Ethereum is running better than other coins but it gets down according to the position of the market and high level timely. The demand of NEO is less now but if we buy at low price than it can give more profit. With the passage it depends on your investment.

I always prefer for a safe investment Eth becuase after bitcoin eth is the most potential altr coin in crypto world . so if you try to invest in a long term eth is the best . its price always stable and its have a bright future

ethereum includes safe altcoins in the investment category.
eth can survive compared with the existing altcoin. in every investment and trade almost all investors hold eth. so eth is better than neo

The safest investment this year is the NEO coin. But ETH and NEM, also have a very strong fundamental foundation, which can mean a steady growth this year.

With plasma coming it is going to be able to do millions of transactions per second. If you realize how much that is than you are going to be compelled to invest in this coin. Also Ethereum's founder, Vitalik is helping in development of the plasma technology so thats a huge plus too.

I quite agree about investing on NEW and ETH. But I didn't know much about NEM platform. Is the platform using (XEM) ticker right? Last news that I heard about this coin is, NEW wallet on Japan exchanges has been stolen by a hacker https://cointelegraph.com/news/coincheck-stolen-534-mln-nem-were-stored-on-low-security-hot-wallet

This is unfortunate advice from a legendary member.  Please do not view this advice as credible, because it is not.  There is simply no such thing as "risk free".  Period.
