I don't know where you read this "news" but since you're asking a very rookie question, I would advise you to be very careful about following suggestions given to you on this forum, on Youtube or related sites, and even from legit crypto news sources. 

All of crypto is pure speculation.  When you hear about the possible benefits of networks like ETH and NEO, it might sound like this stuff is going to change the world....but it hasn't yet and might not ever.  And NOBODY here is going to be able to tell you with any amount of certainty which coins are going to make you money.  All they'll recommend are coins they own in the hopes that you'll buy them too, thereby driving up demand and price.

When you're researching coins to invest in, all I can say is read carefully and try to put your emotions aside.  Traders often experience greed and fear, and those are the enemy.  Don't get too excited about the stuff you see or read about, because a lot of crypto videos on Youtube, for example, are done by people who are literally screaming about the opportunity to double your money on some shitcoin, and if you don't invest soon you'll lose out, and blah blah blah.  Just be careful.

Finally, if you stick with bitcoin you probably can't go wrong in the long term.  But again, that's just my opinion.
