Bitcoin Forum

For once, NEO was the hottest Blockchain project in the crypto space. Prices were well above $100 per coin, and there was a lot of excitement among people within the mainstream world. With quick transaction speeds and ridiculously low fees, NEO stands up against other popular smart contract platforms like ETH and EOS. An advantage of NEO relative to its competitors is that smart contracts can be developed in various well-known programming languages such as JavaScript, Java, and Python. In the case of ETH, you'll have to learn a new programming language (Solidity) that's not as tried and tested as other languages within the mainstream world. On other hand, EOS uses WebAssembly but this language is relatively new. Mainstream developers might find it easier to develop new dApps within the NEO blockchain than either ETH or EOS.

Most recently, NEO has announced that it will be upgrading to NEO 3.0. The cryptocurrency has been rather silent since Bitcoin began decreasing in price back in 2018. This improved version of NEO might attract a lot of people into it. But the cryptocurrency needs a lot of marketing/promotion to be able to gain traction within the mainstream world.

What do you think about NEO? Will it survive? Or will fade from existence over time? ???

i think NEO should survive, i like the way you described it by highlighting that smart contracts can be developed in other languages, i think thats its biggest selling point
does it still give GAS as PoS mechanism? i always liked that about it too, as far as chinacoins go, NEO is a dece one i think
it was a good ICO (as ANS) too, i regret selling all mine when it hit ath there a while ago, the GAS was nice to collect :(

Agree. The diversity in programming languages is NEO's biggest selling point yet. Unfortunately, people are focused on the big players which rely on newer programming languages that have not been tried-and-tested over the years. NEO makes smart contract development easier by making use of existing programming languages for the benefit of developers in the mainstream world. Not to mention, NEO's dBFT consensus algorithm allows for quick transaction speeds and cheaper costs for smart contract execution. With enough marketing/promotion, NEO could've been a huge contender of popular blockchain platforms like Ethereum and EOS. So far, people can earn "GAS" by simply "hodling" their NEO on a wallet. That's not possible with ETH, while EOS has a much more complicated process (resource lending) for people to start earning money right away.

With the upcoming version of NEO 3.0, things could become interesting for the cryptocurrency in the long run. We might be able to experience a "FOMO" among people in the mainstream world, as the improved version of NEO becomes a fierce rival of existing blockchain platforms (like the ones mentioned earlier). Time will tell us if investing in NEO is truly worth it or all the other way around. Just my thoughts ;D

I can remember when I came into this space in 2016 NEO was one of the few coins I used to trade on bittrex exchange and because of that I was following up the project closely, but I don't know wassup with them lately.

There too were some ICOs launched over NEO blockchain but NEO has failed to tap the market. The blanket ban from China might have affected NEO to some extent but they are not growing at all. The team is still active in conferences and meetups but I haven't seen any update on the blockchain or it's token platform for quite a time now.

For me this Coin is one of the strongest coin in this space that has stood the test of time and I strongly believe that if the devs should put little more effort into the project this Coin can compete with coins like Ethereum and bitcoin.

NEO is practically dead, and that sucks.

I invested in this project when each NEO was around $120 per coin, sold out when it dropped under $90, and now I can see that it's less than $10/ea.

As far as I'm aware there are almost no Dapps running on NEO, and both Tron and EOS have come along and stolen its spotlight as a competitor to Ethereum.

I don't think it will recover, simply because it hasn't managed to achieve anything yet, while several upstarts have already gained ground on Ethereum.

If it has failed so earlier, then the future looks bleak for NEO.

NEO was not able to take the benefit of the struggling blockchain of Ethereum while it was the only viable competitor. Now NEO is being lost among the competitors. After all these years, every dapps you see on NEO blockchain are their own home apps. No developer or project are interested in using NEO. NEO is an example of failed project.

for a token to have a price of $9.62 each, its a successful coin still despite how few dapps created under it. the GAS for its stakers i guess are the ones that makes this project holds the grip. its sort of an easy money for them that comes into their wallets without risk. to be honest i haven't tried any dapps using NEO, not even once. maybe because its in chinese which made it a failure as you point out. but for the rest like TRON and EOS, its becoming a regular for me.

And then they baned crypto in China and all went to hell :(

Luckily now no one in china is allowed to call NEO blockchain a scam anymore :)  So at least NEO organisers that got rich by selling tokens in ICO can walk proud in China.

NEO is not dead, but it is not a coin that is mentioned in every crypto news portal like Tron. They slowly work on the decentralized smart-finance ecosystem. But, with recent situation in China investors are now more cautios and that is the reason why NEO is very cheap and not attractive for newcomers. We will see what happen after NEO 3.0 release.   :)

With the way things are for this project, it seems the Whales driving the price are gone, the Chinese Ethereum playbook seems to be over. People were holding it then because of the feeling people are going to migrate to the platform for ICOs but the ICO market is over so I don't know what would drive the price up again. It will just be there until the price dumped to zero finally

NEO was one of my major holdings and I sold 60% of my entire holdings at 180$ hoping it might keep going up in price. Even though things fell apart for NEO with regards price, I don't regret my investment there, it was profitable. However, I've been following NEO and I'm impressed with their development so far, although the astonishing aspect is that it doesn't reflect on the price. I believe with more cool strategies, NEO will do well in the long run.

I think that it'll do just fine.

However, long term I really don't see any sort of major developments especially when you consider that it, being a Chinese project, has competitors that do somewhat of the same things that have started to come about in recent days in TRON and whatnot.

So yeah, I'm not super bullish nor am I that pessimistic. I think it'll be one of the coins that just sits in the middle of the pack during this bull run, honestly.

I think Neo is a good project from the beginning, but not a good coins to invest for now. Neo tech has not too much special, they also have not much users, dApp using their blockchain. These reasons make this project become less attractive than ETH and EOS. I think they should be active in marketing, teach developers how to use their chain, what benefit from use Neo. If this project not too active to try these things, i believe Neo will become zero soon.

Basically, a big upgrade is not needed when the developer was very skilful. We have so many options to fix the problem just like using the offchain solution or something else. This coin looks dead coin but it's still alive caused by speculators are not taking the development progress of the NEO correctly.
I don't even think if this coin is worth to invest as lack of the update, news and to re-structure the whole blockchain is not a good solution.
Remember so many platforms are doing so many improvements through use improvement proposal. that's why this coin is getting dumped.

Sadly NEO is not doing well in the market since 2018 to now, which is not good news at all. NEO was a pure gem, there was too much positive hype on this coin, Therefore NEO is known as a second Ethereum, it has great technology with great partners! Many coins like Ontology, Spot coin launched on NEO network! But NEO coin price is not growing at all, I held it for almost one year but did not get a single profit. I hope in the next bull run, NEO will find its base once again and will hit a higher and stable price.

in fact, I think NEO is not a super interesting project. at that time when he was so popular, all the projects which tried to become competitors for ETH raised a lot of money because people thought that all such projects brought them thousands of profit %, but as it turned out it wasn’t. and now only those people who still did not sell it are talking about NEO

Can someone refresh my memory and remind which successful milestones NEO achieved in 2019? Maybe some can remember any good project on NEO or an update in already working one?

NEO was popular years back and even though I haven't checked it out lately, I guess it does all it can to stay in the game of altcoins even if its lowkey nowadays.

I am one of those who think NEO is one of the best project ever appeared in crypto space.  Even though they are quite silent in this past months, I believe NEO are continuously developing the project and in due time they will be able to survive any obstacle.   About fading, well there is no permanent in this world, time will come that NEO have to cease its operation but when is still unknown.

NEO is still stay in a top 20 and they have huge marketcap so again it will going to moon shortly. Nowadays everyone concentrate the crypto hype and right now it will raise gradually so most of the altcoins are going to moon further days. I think games are designed by huge investors so we are all pick the trusted platform it will never end the game.

Any crypto coin with a working product or a working technology which is very useful in the technological world will definitely be in existence so far as the technology is useful. NEO presents a good and working technology. So far as NEO makes a difference in the crypto space, its never gonna fade from existence.

I'm in the more bearish camp.

I don't think that NEO has put out anything interesting ever since it got evolved from Antshares. And interest in the project has been diverted away into other PoS coins in recent years as well given that so many of them have popped up with significant staking rewards in their respective cryptocurrencies as well.

Perhaps I am biased because I missed out on the ANS sale initially, though :P

Not only NEO coin but also almost all altcoin have lower price when bitcoin going down, give chance for bitcoin could back with higher price and have most opportunity with altcoin back to higher price again, always have second for NEO back with higher price during bitcoin keep stable with the top price, but when time for bitcoin back on higher price again?

NEO will survive even though there are many competitors like the EOS you said earlier.
however neo has become one of the many coins to hold because it has been around since 2016.
and also already have GAS in their blockchain, maybe another coin will be released in the near future.

well if you say so what about people who invest in bitcoin when the price is $18000 ?
does that also mean that BTC will die, of course not right.
I think you are in the wrong position to buy where the market conditions at that time may be down, so you blame this coin for the market conditions are down, and maybe you do not see the market when you want to buy.
You blame the other party because you lost your money, hmm there's nothing wrong with that.
but you also have to realize that investing in crypto does have a high risk ;D

neo was a little bit unlucky and late. neo based projects were about to start strongly however the bull market was over that time. so neo was not as lucky as ethereum at that time because of bad timing maybe.

😀😀😀
same here I am also trying to find out what exactly is happening with NEO. I haven't heard anything from 2018 till now. It is supposedly was given the the " Ethereum killer".

It got killed by Ethereum 😀😜

NEO is indeed altcoin that can be considered, we all know that NEO was once a favorite in the 2016-2017 period, partly turning to ETH because the price is pretty decent. Of course it would be great if NEO would rise later, let's see, I think 2020 will be a year of many surprises

NEO is not the only coin doing unwell in the past two years though,,, so we really should not worry too much about it. I am quite surprised however that China has not done more for NEO, but I suspect we will be seeing a surprise run up, also alongside NeoGas, once people properly build all their dapps on NEO. My experience with NEO dapps has not been good so I understand the lack of interest.

I'm pretty sure that all cryptocurrencies that have been programmed, marketed, transacted, bountied, etc., have been great. It just depends on the quality and integrity of the actual crypto that it would be used. We all know that Bitcoin has been the start of all of this, and this is it now. It's still not going to be trumped because a lot of people have invested not only their money but their time sharing and learning about Bitcoin. It's never going to be changed by another cryptocurrency.

For NEO, I think it would stay in the cryptocurrency space. It wouldn't be the top 1, but it would be one of the top currencies like it is now. I checked CMC and it's top 19 so, not bad for NEO.

I think the only success NEO had - when it has announced ONT airdrop for holders in 2018.
Since then, NEO had nothing to shock community in good way :)

I also dont like or support the NEO project due to it been centralized in nature and if thats not the reason why you make the above statement then you totally dont understand the genuine reason why NEO seems to loose some crypto investors confidence.

it looks like NEO will reach $ 15 in a few weeks, if you look at the chart you can judge it, currently the price of NEO is at $ 10, a 6% increase today I think is enough to satisfy traders  ;D

NEO is good blockchain technology especially for transaction. I also liked this coin during 2018 but choice is always change. This is the perfect example for those who can't take risk just rely on top coin. NEO was in top coin although now in 19 but future could change more until NEO 3.0.

This coin often rises unexpectedly and unpredictably so your predictions may be accurate because NEO is currently very cheap and I have great confidence in investing in this coin. In fact, NEO used to be my favorite investment in 2017 but after that time this coin only dropped and made me lose a lot of money.

This year I will consider investing again because the value of NEO is currently very cheap and can completely help me earn high profits if the market enters the uptrend period. Of course, it will take time but I'm sure it will happen.

As you have said, the project practically dead but right from it implementation because most of it pumps were done by the system involved in the project creation and majority of crypto investors dont understand that part which is also the reason why people are advised not to invest in centralized project.

Those are the year when alot of  crypto investors believe in the false ranking done by the Chinese CCID but I hope you understand the do's and dont's of crypto investment because a coin which it majority consensus nodes are controlled by it creator on purpose shouldnt be trust much.

Invest in it this year is still fair since every crypto with good concept and hype will experience a surge in price when halving take place but i hope you'll sell once it reach your target price.

Right now i am skeptic on every China coin out there, either government bans them or they will enforce kyc-like services and use them to spy people. And latter is honestly the best outcome i can see with the current atmosphere.

I've thought so. After all, there hasn't been any mention of NEO within the crypto space since last 2017's bull market. Other smart contract platforms like Ethereum, EOS, and Cardano have taken the lead in the Blockchain industry. There's only a select few dApps available on the NEO platform which means that adoption is very low. Without demand for NEO, you cannot expect higher prices in the future. Most people who bought NEO by 2017, have already lost a fortune. Perhaps, NEO's next release will be the biggest one yet? Or will it fail in the long run?

It's surprising to see the sentiment of people in the mainstream world towards NEO, after being more flexible than its competitors in terms of smart contract development. With a wide array of programming languages to choose from, you can't go wrong. As of now, NEO works as a source of passive income (via its distribution of free "GAS" tokens) than anything else. We'll have to see what the outcome of its development will be in the future depending on mainstream adoption from average people and developers alike.

Nonetheless, there are better and bigger smart contract platforms out there which could render NEO useless over time. I still have hope for the cryptocurrency to grow into something massive in the future. But what's happening now is telling otherwise. In the end, NEO could turn out to become abandoned in its entirety as people make use of other platforms with greater options to choose from. Just my thoughts ;D

NEO should rise soon, rank top 20 in the market now and it's rank 13 in trading volume.
it's a legit coin with a huge potential and as long as there are supporters who trade NEO, it will always survive, maybe it's just waiting for the right time to pump, let's be inspired by BSV, though we don't like CSW but BSV was a good investment for short term, at least.

Neo was one of my favourite coin back 2017.NEO was my 2nd or 3rd best profitable coin.Neo will rise.Already NEO is listed a top listed crypto currency in coinmarketcap. I always try to keep NEO update.As far I know Da Hongfei is doing great for NEO and I have enough believe on Neo.

three years ago I saved 250 NEO In my wallet, and today I regret losing my private keys, NEO is a good platform, but not everyone knows NEO

I have been following the progress of Neo for a few years already, but am still not sure about it's future. On one hand, they have enough money to develop their ecosystem and to launch NEO 3.0, but on the other their Dapps are much less popular than Ethereum of EOS ones.

They may have a lot of money, and the team required to build a robust Blockchain platform that will last for years to come. But, NEO is missing one key element for survival. And that is mainstream adoption. Most decentralized applications are built on top of Ethereum, EOS, and TRON while NEO is left behind in this regard. It's odd to see this, since NEO provides an extensive compatibility with popular programming languages such as JavaScript and Python (unlike ETH or EOS). Maybe the project needs more marketing/promotion? I've noticed that most Blockchain projects based in China end up being unnoticed by people in the mainstream world. Such has been the case with QTUM, Matrix, and now NEO.

The NEO team needs to provide top-notch solutions for mainstream developers and individuals alike. Only then, the NEO blockchain will be able to rise in price and mainstream adoption worldwide. Considering that there's been a slight increase in major cryptocurrencies' prices across the market, NEO is still a bargain these days. While NEO has so many interesting features, it's has a greater level of centralization than EOS. I've noticed that "bookkeeping nodes" are largely controlled by NEO's own development team (City of Zion). This is terrible for the censorship-resistance of the NEO blockchain, as we know it. Maybe that's why people have been supporting both ETH and EOS more thoroughly (as they're decentralized).

Nonetheless, no one knows what will happen with NEO in the future. While everything is indicating NEO is somewhat dead, things could change over time. At least, that's the way crypto behaves within the mainstream world. As long as NEO is still traded on crypto exchanges, there might be nothing to worry about. Just my thoughts ;D

Aside from actual news from NEO we should look at charts without any context to understand the progress.
And you know what - it goes sideways for 1,5+ years now.
This fact should start a certain thought process.
I highly doubt if you should keep funds in NEO.

I'm particularly very happy to know that there's still project development with Neo. The Neo 3.0 is a big shot and people really need to know what Neo has to offer. I believe that some advertising and marketing would go a very long way in making projects realise how awesome  is the Neo platform.

in my opinion this is a good thing for neo to continue to compete, this is actually a good momentum for neo to continue to develop and increase its value, because in the midst of a market situation that is still in a negative trend, the existence of neo with its development and also the pump, will certainly be a breath of fresh air .

Actually NEO is a good project he has a smart contract like ethereum but to be able to survive it all depends on the developer how to work on the NEO project in the future if the NEO developer does a good innovation maybe NEO in the future will still be able to survive but if there is no development in my opinion just wait time NEO will be a project that will be forgotten.

Yes, NEO is one of the best crypto projects so far, it's because of the platform is big and development keeps happening here, this coin is a gem, in China, still, NEO is known as second Ethereum! The fact is NEO blockchain is not easy like Ethereum blockchain! Maybe this NEO 3.0 will be good for people to know the real potential of NEO network! NEO price seems very stable, anytime it can jump to hit a higher price, which for I have been waiting for years!

NEO project has a pretty high price in 2017 because of the huge HYPE, especially the news that NEO will be ETH's main rival, but after 2 years have passed, I think we know, NEO is not as discussed in 2017, this proves Investors are starting to turn to new coins, like Minter or Grin, or Cosmos. in other words, NEO must have better development in order to win against new coins.

Currently China is preparing to launch the National Crypto.  I am wondering how NEO, NULS ... and other cryptocurrencies will exist.  While they are private blockchains and their technology looks good, where will they go?  The most disappointing Crypto is NEO, which has dropped the most seriously from over $ 200 to under $ 10.  I don't think NEO will be a good choice for future developers.  For a long time projects on the NEO platform have moved to other platforms.  This is a testament to a failure

Completely agree with you, mate. Back in 2017, it was all about hype. But after a while, people started to abandon NEO for the next big thing in crypto. The introduction of EOS and TRON into the Blockchain industry, has greatly diminished NEO's prominence within the mainstream world. This could've been easily prevented by increasing development and marketing/promotion efforts for the benefit of the project. For a Blockchain network based in China, NEO should've been one of the biggest smart contract platforms in the world. After all, China is the world's second-largest economy behind the US. The NEO team could've used some funding to improve its development and increase marketing/promotion within the mainstream world. By now, NEO would've been worth at least hundreds of dollars across the market.

With big players on the move, it's hard to believe that NEO will rise again to its former glory. The implementation of NEO 3.0 will greatly increase the performance of the Blockchain. But, what matters most is adoption. And the lack of adoption within the mainstream world, has caused NEO to be a forgotten coin in the industry. I hope that this year would prove us wrong, as NEO gains traction once more. Just my thoughts :D
