At the moment, the Ethereum is far ahead of the NEO. Ether is the most modern and advanced blockchain . He is as many say a ticket for 95 percent of the ICO that gives it even more value.
I think that price of Ether till the end of 2018 will be about 5000$
NEO is also very good cold mining is great thing.

I like both Ethereum and NEO as well, and overall I agree with you, but one question appeared, why do you think, that the price of Ethereum will rise so much?
