I was tempted, because of the hype. But I remember similar hype, because of similar reasons, three years ago regarding Vertcoin.
I decided to stay away. I always ask myself: Do I want this or that coin... and oftentimes, I don't, usually. The main reason I want many coins is because I want more bitcoin and I think those coins are going to get me that. But I've had more success with coins that I actually believe in, like NEO, than the wild bets I made on stuff that other people said was great.
