Hey people,
Quick update to confirm I just opened an account with Neo at their branch in Nicosia and I'm very impressed by the whole experience!
Walking in the NEO branch felt similar to walking into a high-end bank branch - greeted by a very professional / smartly dressed / polite girl. I said I wanted to create a wallet and she offered to walk me through it.
She gave me a document to fill-in with my details and some questions assessing my awareness in financial services (i.e. if I have traded in financial instruments before etc.).
Then a document of about 10 pages with various terms and conditions which needed to be signed on all pages (I think the pages were posted in a previous post here by someone else).
To complete the registration an ID and proof of residence was needed. I was missing the second so I said I'll be back for that.
They seem to be covering all bases in regards to regulations - vastly improved over what is usually required on an online exchange service. It remains to be seen how the Cypriot / world authorities handle this on their side, but as far as NEO is concerned, I can confirm the process is as thorough as any "old-world" bank's.
As a Cypriot / Bitcoin fan witnessing the developments with NEO I'm glad they are on top of the game so far and hope they continue in the same vain

Neo team's presentations from their launch event on the 24th. Especially interesting Tuur Demeester's one from which I already posted some screenshots back then.

Interesting question directed to Danny during Q&A, if there is so much potential in the price of Bitcoin, why doesn't he just hold Bitcoin?
In summary Danny's answer:
o Bitcoin moves into a new paradigm
o Banks will always exist
o Sentece too big to fail is thrown around too much and he doesnt like it because its an excuse for banks to get away with things.
o He doesnt want his children in the future to go through bail-ins, austerity measures, inflation etc.
o What matters to the economy are the people, not the governments and corporations.
o He invested money in his venture but still owns Bitcoins.
o Also for Bitcoin to realize its potential it needs infrastructure and thats why Neo is here.

I'd like to have a break down on those numbers from the last picture.
It seems interesting.

Hey guys, here is an example of Neo's billboards: First one is in the theme of the campaign leading to today with tagline "who is neo?" Below text reads "he is coming and everything changes".

Second one is the new campaign that was from what I understand launched today. Tagline reads "I am Neo" and all characters of the campaign are now dressed in Neo super hero suit. This is how I got inspired for my nickname here

I second Danny above, this has got to be one of the biggest and, more importantly, most brilliant campaigns of the last decade in Cyprus. I couldn't come up with a better concept myself - and ofcourse as per any good branding, I'm totally hooked to the company and its cause. Well done people of Neo, and again best of luck with the official launch tomorrow

Do the Cypriots on here think people will stash their cash in Neo? What will it take to persuade them?
As mentioned above, we already probably hate the banks more than any other nation right now, which is good for Neo. On top of that Cypriots love outdoing each other with technology gadgets etc, so this is also positive, plus we are generally swayed by big publicity which is also something that Neo topped the past weeks. So all in all I think this will be taken up by a good share of people and more and more will be joining as the word spreads out
