Antshares -now named NEO- surpassed Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, and Ripple, growing by over 3,053% in a month. Since then- as of August 19- NEO has retreated to the 9th place on the cryptocurrency charts, it lost 90% of its increase. However, the NEO believers believe this is just the beginning for the now dubbed "Chinese Ethereum," some are stating by the next month, NEO will be number one on the cryptocurrency chart.
There are a ton of features that make NEO distinguishable from Ethereum, Litecoin, and even Bitcoin. The NEO community will argue that these features make them better than every other cryptocurrency on the market. One cryptocurrency, in particular, the NEO community is trying to overtake is Ethereum.However, unlike Ethereum, NEO's blockchain technology is ready for real-world-use. NEO's rebranding has brought in newer and more revolutionary features like quantum-resistant cryptography, a distributed storage protocol, and a secure communication protocol. Also, the smart contracts in NEO are coded in Java, C#, and C++, meaning developers no longer need to learn new languages, unlike Ethereum which is coded in Solodity.
