I don't know that it's about to pop, but I would definitely make a mental note of this, along with concerns that NEO may win out because it uses existing programming languages like C# and could be partnering with Microsoft and some heavy hitters in China.
I'm not a miner, so I don't have that perspective, but we've seen how mining profitability can shift the power balance back and forth in the cases of Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash in recent days.
I would like to know, if it is possible to look up the current hashrate of NEO? Are you invested in NEO ?
NEO has no security advantage over Ethereum from what I saw in the code. In fact NEO looked hacked together.
