"the Chinese Ethereum"
and
the oldest blockchain platform originating from China.
Not to be accused of stereotyping I'll preface this by saying I've read both The Asian Mind Game & Thick Face, Black Heart by Chin-ning Chu.
Since the Chinese have the reputation of understanding & thinking in long term goals of even 50-100 years, I have to wonder if there's a strategic effort underway in China to gobble up as much Bitcoin as possible through mining (if I'm not mistaken, Chinese miners dominate BTC) and be preparing an alternative in the form of NEO for, say 5-10-25 years down the road?
If there is, I can't see it being too bad of an idea having a few of these socked away. Once it gets added to the Ledger hardware wallet, you can safely store them long-term.
It never hurts to have some eggs stored away in another basket somewhere.
