Anyone thinking about a 3rd coin that will take the first place than BTC or ETH? I think It's NEO.
There are many reasons to like NEO. They have a devoted community, A layer-2 scaling solution (Trinity) is being built, many upcoming ICOs will add to the already robust ecosystem, and NEO is cozy with the Chinese government.
NEO is unapologetically staying centralized (and censorable) for the near future until the ecosystem is mature enough to release into the wild. While I (and many others) disagree with NEO’s stance, it is the China way, and it’s undeniable that centralization is more efficient in some instances.
We could see geopolitical tensions between the US and China heat up which may incent China to go all in on crypto. What does a state-sponsored crypto future look like in China? No one really knows, but the NEO ecosystem is prepared to be the major public infrastructure. Sure, we might see a “CrypoYuan” being created, but I that will only add value to NEO.
