In my own opinion, neo does not look like a certain crypto rival, it looks more like a coin that divides opinion amongst investors, there is no significant adoption of the platform and likewise, there is no form of surge in price of neo
NEO is just a normal coin in this market and should not put too much faith because Chinese coins are easy to evaporate. I think if you are only trading for profit from this coin, then this is recommended but if you choose to invest long-term, this coin should be careful. Besides, in the past NEO was once an opponent of ETH, so this coin can still increase if the altcoin season returns.
