NEO I think is very good and has great potential in the future I am sure armed with advanced technology I am sure NEO will continue to grow and become bigger in the future but I think to beat Ethereum NEO have to work hard first because now Ethereum already has trust from many people.
I also agree with your suggestion because ethereum has been in existence before neo and it has gained alot of trust from investors and it also have a large community and has a very high price value compared to that of NEO. NEO will have to do a lot of work before it can worth more than ethereum.
