I could understand if you said QTUM would skyrocket but NEO has a huge elephant in the room that nobody seems to either a) be aware of, or b) is flat out ignoring.

I have already found the relevant statement within the ANTShares whitepaper and posted it on telegram several times and now I can't be bothered to do the same.  Anyway, it goes like this.  The Devs of ANT held 15% of the original ANT shares, and released half of the remainder onto the market.  The total amount of ANT was set to 100,000,000 and the initial release was of 50,000,000 with the rest being locked away until 1 full year after the release of the MainNet.  

Are you with me so far?  Okay, the MainNet was released in October 2016 - which means one year from then is October 2017 (next month).  Their intention for this 50 million is for it to be split among the devs to 'support development'.

The knock on effect of this isn't necessarily that the devs hold 65% of NEO, it's the fact they will also be producing 65% of the GAS.  

Sure the price may well go up, but having the devs control such a huge proportion of the shares is suicidal for investors.  QTUM devs appear to be more in the pocket of Gvt officials and if either of those two were to be picked up and traded QTUM is the simpler option.  Don't forget that NEO is not that popular in China, it's popular in the west but the Chinese are more invested in QTUM.  You also need to be heavily invested to generate any significant amount of GAS - 2000 NEO only produces 1 GAS per day.  It's GAS that is used as the trading element.  This makes it both overly complex as a trading standard and ineffective.  If China banned BTC (which they won't - the leaked document is the work of someone who knows what they are on about and most certainly not from any Government official source - or do you really think the Government know what an 'exit node' is?) then it'd most likely be a different coin they'd use as a means of exchange.
