We get asked a lot why we chose to run our ICO on NEO instead of Ethereum. But once we joined the NEO community, we never looked back. Best call ever. Here are just some of our reasons:
1) Speed: the future will only be faster.
NEO is built for speed and blows Ethereum out of the water. Right now, NEO boast 10,000 transactions per second, and aims to increase this to 100,000 in 2020. For comparison’s sake: the Ethereum blockchain currently manages 15 transactions per second. That’s far too slow, if you consider that for example the VISA creditcard company already processes 2,000 transactions per second. Sure, Ethereum is working on it, but right now, NEO seems far more future-proof.
2) The NEO family
NEO cares. The companies using the same NEP-5 token standard feel like our cousins. We get together, and help each other with advice. That’s why we’ll register all of them on the Spotcoin exchange for free — family doesn’t pay. It’s also why feel comfortable promoting each other to our communities, we know these are trustworthy companies. We ran airdrops giving away free SPOT to token holders of RPX, QLC, SWTH, and EFX tokens. The best part about belonging to such a promising group of new companies, is that our Spotcoin exchange will be an important, and sometimes the only direct point of purchase. We will be a one-stop shop where investors with USD, EUR and several Black Sea fiat currencies can buy and sell NEO and NEP-5 tokens without having to transfer to and from other exchanges. This way, we can provide simple liquidity where it’s needed and make a real difference where it’s needed.
3) The City of Zion and the NEO community
It’s not just about the other companies on the block’. The NEO community is actively supporting and improving NEO. To such an extent that a group of volunteer developers called City of Zion has grown to a solid organization whose single aim it to improve NEO and develop high quality services like the NEON wallet, the NEOscan and coordinating the translation of NEO documents in several languages. You can join and help out if you want, via cityofzion.io. Of course, NEO actively supports the City of Zion developers and there is nothing amateur about them. In fact, one of our very own developers is working with NEO and the City of Zion to improve the core code of NEO Sharp. You can read his amazing story here.
4) Pro transparency, pro regulation
We want digital currencies to improve our world, we’re not out there to tear down the old structures. So we will always ask for KYC and do due diligence. We want to be the bridge between between legacy financial markets and the emerging digital economy. NEO is suited to respect both privacy and regulatory concerns. There are some great companies operating on the NEO blockchain like BRIDGE, who can safeguard your ID data while making sure KYC and AML due diligence is handled professionally and smoothly. We will always prefer co-operation with governments and regulators and are actively consulting the Georgian government whenever we can. In the end, making digital currencies work for everyone includes the regulators. NEO has its own respectful relationship with the Chinese government.
So, there you have it. 4 solid reasons why we love NEO. We could go on, and when you ask us in person, we probably will. Feel free to ask though!

What's this NEO coin?
Your call to go with NEO was the correct one!
NEO is for real projects because you need to spend a bit to start up, in ETH network anyone can create a new token for cheap! Nowadays I only invest in NEO projects, because IO know they have future.
And the community around NEO, and even between projects is awesome.
I like Neo blockchain.
Of the pluses I want to cancel the consensus algorithm Pos, hence the possibility of obtaining dividends in the form of Gas and the absence of commissions on the operation with tokens
Yes it is a question for everyone and it is incredible that you explain it so wonderfully. I learned a lot in this process with you and I am grateful for it.

I consider that spotcoin will be the successful project. Even against a background of a falling market, the project is under the close attention of the community.
NEO is my favorite blockchain as it has lot of features and it addresses most of issues that other blockchains suffers from. Therefore, I am glad see that Spotcoin chose the most suitable blockchain to build their upcoming fiat/cryptocurrency exchange.

The uniqueness of this project is due to its originality.

When it comes to NEO vs Ethereum it's pretty much a no-brainer. Speed is of the essence and it's great to see projects like Spotcoin work to take advantage of all the benefits that NEO has to offer. Both Spotcoin and NEO and are setting themselves up to be future-ready and make a great impact. Being Pro Transparency and Pro Regulation is also a huge deal going forward. Great stuff!
I love NEO because has found instant support among the developer community because it supports programming in multiple languages like C++, C#, Go, Java. I believe that NEO is the future!
NEO is the main reason i looked into Spotcoin. It has a great sense of community and with the airdrops SPOTCOIN held for NEO holders, keep that spirit going. Of course the blockchain tech of NEO is important too!
Transaction speed is very important for customer satisfaction. Neo can manage 10,000 transaction per second. Its way more faster than Ethereum. So Neo is the best pick in this situation.
