Neo is a very strong coin and the Chinese government cares about its success. I think that this will soon make it very popular and very expensive
If the government really take care of this coin and want it to become a success than we should be investing in such a coin because it is ideally backed by one of the biggest government in the world. So it will not take much time for the prices to sky rocket in near term if we start seeing citizens of China start using NEO more widely than the other coins in their country.
Well every coin has its own journey in cryptocurrency. And actually I heard a lot from NEO this past few day. And it also one of the most recommended altcoin to invest in this 2018. So I think they say that because they see something especial in this coin. Means it has its own potential. So if ever Neo reach in the top ten. Then definitely Neo holder will be glad because they see an improvement in their coin.
