NEO Could Surpass Bitcoin By The Year 2019

By Simon Chester on   February 20, 2018 2 Comments   / 6648 views
NEO is a Chinese technology which marries the concept of the smart economy and cryptocurrency. It’s a cutting-edge player which looks set to become a cornerstone of the Chinese economy in the future – and as China continues to go from strength to strength as a world superpower, this essentially means that NEO will also become a major league global cryptocurrency in its own right with unparalleled real-world potential.

At the time of writing, NEO is currently the seventh-strongest cryptocurrency at $134.28USD. From an investment perspective, it makes perfect sense. This is because with NEO, the buyer also accumulates another crypto; Gas. That’s right – by simply holding NEO, the investor will incrementally receive Gas, which is tied in closely with China’s biggest Crypto. Gas can be spent in much the same way as any other cryptocurrency, and essentially demonstrates the confidence China has in NEO.

Revolutionary

NEO is linked to smart contracts and artificial intelligence powered by the blockchain – any investment essentially funds these revolutionary technologies, which is precisely the reason why developers and investors are turning to NEO:

These emerging technological advancements are more exciting and forward-thinking than Bitcoin, which despite its recognition does not have the same real-world applications as newer currencies like NEO. While Bitcoin has brand-recognition, as the most renowned cryptocurrency it tends to suffer from over-inflation, whereas NEO’s reputation is based completely on what it is capable of being used for.

Bitcoin killer

As the public consciousness adapts to cryptocurrency technologies, NEO could easily become the Bitcoin slayer. Given China’s economic prowess and continuing technological advancement, NEO’s overtaking of the rest of the big five coins is only a matter of time – when it eventually topples Bitcoin remains to be seen, but some experts are predicting that it will become the cryptocurrency of choice for many traders as soon as 2019.

Given the parameters you have set I don’t think that Neo will surpass BTC in year 2019 simply because the time frame is so narrow. Neo is a good coins supported by the largest population in the world but I think BTC is so establish that anyone try to challenge him is will become frustrated. What I think the good thing to do is add NEO in our current portfolio. Since it possess great potential then it is good to be included in long term investment.

For more than a century, the banking system was used to fund state, endanger the stability of the economic activity, robbing private savings, eliminate one road, promote the financing dependence, even make violent reached an unprecedented scale, all because we do not have different techniques to implement monetary exchange. Now the monopoly is being broken. Bitcoin was born. The fear of the ruling class is only just beginning.

Do you think bitcoin will replace Banks in the future?

I don’t think bitcoin will overrun the banks in terms of volume and size. Even with great potential of BTC banks will always have a place in the financial system of the human race. Banks are one of the oldest business and challenge by other instrument yet still exist because of their ability to adapt in changes.

I looked at my pc screen 247, 20 hours out of the 24 hours in a day. I am familiar with all the trading signs like hammer,  inverted hammer, doji. But even with these I still lost while trading. Most times, I decided not to trade without news from a particular project but even with a huge news like partnership, burning folks, I end up still losing.
What's really the cause? And how can I trade without losing much?

Even seasoned trader experience losing in trade. Losing are part of the game in trading. What you can only do is to increase the winning percentage in your portfolio. I suggest you to never stop learning in trading. Treat your profession as a never ending cycle of learning. Thru this, you can increase your winning day trading.
44  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: 👓 Trading routine 👓 on: April 25, 2018, 01:45:30 AM
Greetings to fellow traders and enthusiasts. I am an amateur crypto trader, learning and trading crypto for a year already  Grin
Here I am writing my daily trading routine. Hope it will help newbies, and get feedback from experienced traders.

Why I don’t like HODL
I just don’t trust almost all altcoins. There is always something shady happening, you never know, when the coin will fly down and wipe out all gains.
I do trust big coins like BTC, ETH. Thinking about Monero and Ripple.
So, I prefer to hold my investments in three equal parts: BTC, ETH, USD.

Firstly, I have a list of interesting coins, which will grow in my opinion. I revise this list once a month. Trying to have 7-10 coins on my list.

Daily routine, Step-by-step:
  • Revising my list of coins; reading Twitter, Reddit, Bitcointalk on each coin. News, announcements, public opinion, everything counts. Highlight the most interesting for today.
  • Sort the most active coins by recent growth. The most active – first.
  • Doing technical analyzes on the coins. Looking for trading signals: MA crossings, Stochastic rebounds, Support/Resistance levels and Trend Lines. The most valuable for me is position regarding Support/Resistance lines. For example – the coin has recently crossed important Resistance.
  • Then I open positions on the coins, where I see the signal. Target – 1-5% profit.
  • Waiting 😊
  • If position closes – making new analyzes and reopen position if conditions are right (Growth momentum still high and Resistance levels are far enough).
  • If at the end of the day some positions stay open – trying to close them with any profit. If the price went down, I leave the position hanging. Till now I manage to cover the losses from hanging positions from profits on other coins.
I avoid trading if Bitcoin is falling or has recently fallen, markets react really bad on such days. I avoid trading if all of the coins on my list are in red.

What do you think about my approach?
How do you trade?


What you are really doing is actually called trading plan. Your plan is actually good for beginners; but in time this plan would eventually subject for change for better effectiveness. I also agree with you that there are times that you do not do holding especially in not known altcoins. Top 3 cryptocurrency are the only worth holding for long term.
45  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Should I Consider Investing in Ripple? on: April 24, 2018, 10:27:40 AM
Chasing performance is never a good strategy, but Bitcoin, the heavyweight in this sector, continues its ascent toward higher prices, and there is little to suggest that this trajectory cannot continue to fuel an advance in all cryptocurrencies.
This raises the question: Should I consider investing in this sector? If so, is Ripple (XRP) a good investment?


Investing in XRP is a good choice simply because the platform is clear and has potential for growth in coming years. The possibility to overtake BTC is highly probable if they will only inject correct strategy. I can consider XRP as one of the good coins available in cryptocurrency.
46  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The analyst of the Bank Saxo predicts the growth of cryptocurrency on: April 23, 2018, 01:19:53 PM
The influential investment Bank Saxo has released a 35-page indicative forecast for the second quarter of 2018. In it, the cryptanalyst Jacob Ponce (Jacob Pouncey) noted the risks faced by companies in the first quarter of this year with respect to digital assets. Given several factors, he believes that the next three months could be a breakthrough for digital assets that could trigger a bullish market.

In its forecast, Poncy notes that " cryptocurrencies have returned to earth in the first months of this year, after a sharp increase at the end of 2017. The situation remains fragile, given the prospects for increased regulation and bans on social media advertising. However, we cannot exclude the possibility of their return."

Poncy also notes that"there were several large acquisitions of crypto-exchange by financial companies, such as Goldman Sachs, which is an investor in Circle, which bought the Poloniex exchange, as well as the Monex Group, which bought Coincheck and Yahoo Japan." In addition, cryptocurrencies such as Coinbase have been able to hire talented professionals from Silicon valley, and they are in key leadership positions.

Poncy concludes: "several events can serve as springboards for the crypto-currency 'bullish' market in the second quarter through fundamental driving forces [...]..]. In my opinion, we will eventually see the end of the cryptocurrency fall."

Many Finance gurus expect the easy credit market to dry up a bit in the coming months as part of hedging against inflation. This may mean that traditional stocks will become less attractive and the search for "uncorrelated assets"will begin.

These are " assets that lie beyond the reach of a traditional financial system in which cryptocurrencies are a potential alternative," Poncy insists. "Historically, many prestigious cryptocurrencies have grown in conditions of global uncertainty and [...] the inflow of institutional capital to the cryptocurrency market due to increased regulation and protection of investors may lead cryptocurrencies to a positive trend in the second quarter of this year."

In December last year, Saxo Bank did an awesome bitcoin forecast for 2019. Then analysts of the Bank predicted that in 2018 it is expected to increase the value of bitcoin to 60,000 dollars, after which it will collapse to the fundamental "cost of manufacturing" a coin of 1,000 dollars in 2019.
Do not regret for me merit

OP it would be better if you inserted the link of this article. It is hard to give comment like these because I would look stupid if your posts are not accurate or misleading. But let say that your post is correct; I would say that all of these are only one of the possibilities of BTC. We should take these as guide for investment and trading never rely on single source make a habit of comparing the chart.
47  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is the risk necessary to make a big profit? on: April 23, 2018, 10:37:53 AM
Hello guys, I see that many traders are afraid of risk, and they always want a guaranteed profit, but unfortunately, this gain is always  a little in value.
And in many threads, they always ask about "how to make a safe method in trading".
 

For me, the risk is essential in every field ( especially in  trading) to win a lot of money. Furthermore, when you are afraid, then you will never achieve what you want.
Many businessmen/women (billionaires) and  successful traders become rich because they take risks.

Come on , overcome the fear, make a risk , we will only live once.
Now the market in crisis,  you must  take advantage of this opportunity, your life may will change for the better.

This quote is  very expressing :
"If you want it, go for it. Take a risk. Don't always play it safe or you'll die wondering"
                                                                                                                            -Ms.KG


What do you think guys?

Profits are always associated to the risk you have accepted. There is no short cut for success; you need to do something risky if you wanted good return. People who are tend to practice guaranteed return or always playing safe often didn’t get better opportunity.
48  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT MARKET NOW on: April 21, 2018, 03:31:22 AM
now btc and btc grow up from bottom :btc 6800usd and eth 375 usd,do you think this is below limit and support line for eth and btc??btc pass line resistance 7200 and 7500 usd;eth pass line resistance 400 and 420 usd,btc increase more 10% and eth more 30% from bottom,liquidity seem higher normal days,everyone start buy more coin,the whole market grow up in suspect of evevryone? do you think trend down is stopped?trend recovery is avaible?i hope from now the market will strong grow up

If I will interpret the TA using candlesticks and fib retracement, it is worth to try to invest again in BTC. Based also in your analysis BTC would reverse it current trend to uptrend. If the growth will be supported by big volume then we are certain that the market bounced back to 10,000 USD at the end of the month.

Yes it is true! You just get a few tokens in Social Media Campaign unlike with Translation Campaign. A translator can earn up to $1,000 per project and it is really helpful. But translation campaign cannot be done easily and it is hard to be first in a campaign since a lot of people are translating right now. Signature campaign is good but it is hard from now to rank up since merit system is implemented.
50  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: My $36,000 Invesment Turned Out Now $12,000 - Still Holding on: April 04, 2018, 06:18:51 AM
I know how people feel, those who invested in December or January like me, who fell love with crypto, and the way price was going up, never believed I have to see market cap under $250 billion. However, Everyday I check my Black folio app, I feel sick in my stomach. Sometimes I feel what I have done? But i knew there was a risk, i knew, I could lose money, but I couldn't control my rush of blood, seeing people buying right and left whatever they could.

But my question to all those investors, do you believe in crypto? If you do then hold tight because good days will come, if you are not in need an emergency cash, then hold your coin, It can't be red all days, it will be green. have some faith in this industry. I know it's hard seeing the bloodbath, what's happening, but we will rise again.

Even though I lost 70% of my portfolio, I'm still holding because I know good days are coming soon. Good luck guys.

Well, my current holdings are.

1. NEO
2. LISK
3. XLM
4. MCO
5. BAT
6. POWR
7. WABI
8. START
9. WTC
10. RPX

This is part of the risk we’ve have taken when we invest in cryptocurrency. What you are now experience is just only a paper loss. If you will continue to hold your position I think you have still chance to recover. Maybe all you need to do is not to look at your portfolio so you will not get depressed every time you look at it.
51  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: If your coin increased 40% - 200% in value over night. What would you do? on: April 02, 2018, 12:02:12 PM
Do you continue hodling or sell? A lot of people say to hold no matter what happens and I'm not advocating daytrading but I think in a situation like this, it'd be advantageous to sell.

Thoughts? What would you do?


   

It doesn’t matter how much percentage you have already gain. Based on my personal trading plan; percentage of increase is just one criterion for selling your trade. I usually set 20% gain then I exit already. But if other indicator tells me that the trade will still go up then 20% ceiling will be override.
52  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Biggest profit from an AirDrop? on: April 01, 2018, 10:42:48 PM
If I have a few mins to kill during the day (usually when waiting for ETH/BTC to hit the exchanges from my wallet) Ill sign up for an airdrop or two. Most of the ones that I have either haven't hit exchanges or are worth under $1.

TRON (TRX) was the first one for me that actually did something.

500 free TRX peaked at ~$30 and is currently worth ~$19


HODLing!
Currently, I did not earn airdrops but I usually joined at the free give aways in campaigns. I don't know how much worth of every tokens in airdrops but I think right now, it is not anymore profitable since a lot of users are joining in airdrops and the pool is not big as what before.
53  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Cartel are the reason for the BITCOIN Dump?????? on: March 31, 2018, 02:25:05 PM
From one YOUTUBE channel i got to know about one interesting article on median explaining why the cryptocurrency market manupulation happening due to presence of Cartel.


 
I was eager to know first what cartel means then i found meaning of Cartel with help on that YOUTUBE Channel on INVESTOPEDIA which defines CARTEL as follows A cartel is an organization created from a formal agreement between a group of producers of a good or service to regulate supply in an effort to regulate or manipulate prices. In other words, a cartel is a collection of otherwise independent businesses or countries that act together as if they were a single producer and thus are able to fix prices for the goods they produce and the services they render without competition

Since 3 month cryptocurrency market is down and going in bearish trend, we all were predicting after G20 summit positive result, cryptomarket will take bull run but still no effect?Huh I believe in this article written by "Super Crypto"  who did a great job explaining his theories and this may be the possible reason of BITCOIN price dumping. You can read the rest of his article here: https://medium.com/@super.crypto1/4th-dimension-bitcoin-manipulation-cartel-can-it-be-burnt-no-way-c53de65c166a

Read this article which really makes sence and share your views can this be true?Huh Is cartel manipulating price of bitcoin?Huh







I do not believe that cartel or the bitcoin whales are the reason behind the dump. Cartel is used in oligopoly and I think the word cartel is not applicable in crypto market. It is just about how the producers manipulated the price by hoarding the supple. Well, it might not happen in bitcoin.
54  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Teens in the crypto world on: March 28, 2018, 02:05:31 AM
We often are asking question whether we should educate youth and teach them crypto, but for my opinion if they are interested in they are able to educate themselves, even better then we are able to do.

Hear is an article that proves the theory: https://cointelegraph.com/news/teenager-who-hacked-ledger-hardware-wallet-says-devices-still-vulnerable-devs-deny

What do you think?

Teens today are more knowledgeable if we will compare it to ourselves during our time when we we’re teens these are due to access on internet. Teaching them is a good idea since they are more impulsive and risk taker. It’s a good idea to show them that parents are concern with their personal lives. There are things that teens cannot learn in the internet which the parents can do.
55  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: More traders.... Good or not? on: March 23, 2018, 01:48:00 PM
I’ve been wanting and taking my time to enter the trade game. But before I do, just wanting to know the prod and cons of having a lot of new traders coming in.

Trading is much more safer and easy to learn. I’ve been preparing myself for months now and wanted to start my journey here in bitcointalk. But like me? New Traders are comming in fast. Will it be a good sign to our world of crypocurrency? Or will it affect the competition inside?

The general rule in every market is the more trade the better. It’s beneficial to have quality trader in cryptocurrency. Since many are having good income in trading many people are being entice to do the day trading. I must correct you on your notion that trading is safe; actually it is the other way around. Trading is the most stressful task to do. You need at least spend more time on analysing data and interpret it according to the trading practices.
56  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ICOs in 2018 not same as 2017. on: March 22, 2018, 01:29:32 PM
this is my own opinion but it may help others.

I have found that all the ICOs i have invested in have launched at almost the ICO price but in a few days dipped below the ICO prices by half or 5X for some.

With this i have discovered its better not to invest in an ICO but wait for the launch and the DIP to buy it at the corrected prices made by market forces.
Its just too hard to tell the real or recommended value of a token in an ICO these days.

Hope this helps to the new investors thinking of ICOs

Year 2017 for ICO is the golden year while 2018 seems to be the other way around. Your observation may seems to be correct in some point but if all of the investor thinks the same way you are then there will be no more ICO. What I think in the future must do by ICO is to control the bounty and airdrop token conversion to fiat. They should at least maintain the token for 2 months in order not to affect the price of Altcoins.

Ethereum price is now below $500
https://www.coingecko.com/en/price_charts/ethereum/usd
Is the sky falling?
Price move drop way faster than bitcoin does

Nope! I think the drop of price is only temporary and open doors for other opportunities. I think the price of Ethereum right now is very competitive and will gives opening for new investors. I still believe that ETH will become number 1 in years ahead. Fundamentally speaking ETH is still in good shape.
58  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin mining is banned due to its great demand for electricity on: March 20, 2018, 01:29:17 PM
 Shocked Shocked
~~~
Mining Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies demands a huge amount of electricity, which is greater than the energy needed for the whole system of electric vehicle in 2015.
Morgan Stanley’ note stated that Bitcoin mining could use more electricity in 2018 than the entire Argentina.

Based on the calculation, electricity needed to mine Bitcoin could be more than is used by the whole system of electric vehicle by 2025. It also said that power for bitcoin mining has already been estimated to use more than 159 countries in 2017.
SlashGear claimed that cryptocurrency-related activities can be seen in Plattsburgh, New York (USA), a small town with low-cost electricity. In order to take advantage of the low-cost electricity, mining cryptocurrenies blooms in this area, soon becoming a threat to the city.

Cryptocurrency mining uses a huge amount of electricity to operate the system days and nights. It poses a threat to the crypto environment. In Plattsburgh, it also does harm to the consumption and electricity price.
Plattsburgh, whose residents are a quick jaunt from the Canadian border, has put an 18-month moratorium on cryptocurrency mining to preserve natural resources, the health of its residents, and the “character and direction” of the city.

#VCX
#VCXCoin

I don’t have issue banning the large scale bitcoin miners. This is because only a small group of people get the advantage while those small players are left behind. If you look at the situation it is really disturbing that bitcoin mining consumed large amount of energy. Maybe the good thing that government must do is regulated the large scale miner control the negative effects in the stakeholders.
59  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Making 1% Daily on: March 20, 2018, 11:42:52 AM
Hello,

Would it be possible to make 1% of your capital every day?

This would be 30% in a month, this is a lot.

It really comes to your capital:

1% of 100 would be 1$ daily, so 30$ on a month.
1% of 1000 would be 10$ daily, so 300$ month.
...

Is trying aiming at 1% daily too much? to ambitious?

Your 1% objective is not only ambitious but also greedy. These are very dangerous path of investment because you have disregarded what actually happen in real world. There is no proven investment tool that has guaranteed 1% profit per day. My advice to you is to become realistic in your objective. Try to study investment books for your reference.
60  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I don't care about the price now. Nobody knows how much my portfolio is worth on: March 19, 2018, 02:16:53 PM
I don't even look at the price anymore. Just looked today after a few days... Eth is now being negotiated at 480. LOL

Nobody knows how much my portfolio is worth. I will hold for a few years. I am not going to sell now, even if it were 10x more than it is now, so why would I care for the price now?

I put some good money into this market. But I really believe in the technology, I really like it, I am even studying it. I am not worried.


We have the same thinking in terms of cryptocurrency. I also don’t look on the present price because I choose to hold my portfolio for the long term. Right now is the best time for buying more crypto because of low price. As of the moment trading is the most difficult task to do due to volatility. And because of this I will not suggest to do trading.
