Red Pulse is a bust for me.
In an email sent out On Sept. 31 Red Pulse announced they will not be accepting citizens from US, Singapore, and China.
So what does this mean for the future of NEO? Absolutely nothing and its still my coin pick DESPITE this news sending the value plummeting. So what is it really that makes me so hopeful of NEO?
Well perhaps you have not heard the news, but China is considering a full stop on ICO's.
This is exactly what I predicted would happen and exactly why I dove on NEO.
Allow me to explain. NEO is a public blockchain as we all know. Is a blockchain very much like Ethereum.
What most people don't know is the same team that created NEO, is also working on another blockchain called Onchain.
Onchain is to be the NEO for the corporate world in China.
Now as we already know, NEO is basically given a green light go on passing all new Chinese laws. This is logical considering the belief is they worked directly with the government to make this possible.
This means only two blockchains are likely to be legal in China - a corporate blockchain and a public blockchain.
What China has no plans of doing, or at least per my understanding, is to stop the investment tokens, smart contracts, etc. This again is a logical move. Why would they stop this if they have control over the blockchain itself, they know every asset created.
So why is this lack of competition good for the value of NEO? Because all assets MUST go through NEO or Onchain.
If you try to register an asset on NEO, you will find this is not a free practice by any means, though it is INCREDIBLY easy to do.
In fact, if you were to release asset tokens in the number of 5,000,000 you would find it will cost you close to 5000 GAS - or a value of $75000 USD.
Now stop and absorb all this. Chinese people will only be allowed to use 2 blockchains - either corporate or public based on who they are and what their project is.
To utilize these blockchains - they have to pay hefty fee's.
What do you suppose happens to the value of NEO and GAS each and every time these projects take place.
This is why Red Pulse is no concern and I welcome a falling price. This is why the panic and fear is wonderful to me.
Just like people getting fearful and dumping bitcoin means I can buy it up cheap, panic about NEO means the exact same, and the scarcity that comes with GAS is just a benefit of it all.
I try to give rewards to every single person that likes and comments on my posts, so be sure you drop a comment if you read the post. Share your thoughts! Just keep it on topic and relevant to the post. Do not ask about unrelated coins please.
I was first worried about NEO.. but I think I'll be buying a few more coins based in this info..
thanks.

Just to clarify, you're saying that NEO is going to be the only blockchain left?
But ICO's are banned, so no one will be issuing tokens using NEO. So, I'm a bit confused how does this work out.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

I could understand the confusion, there is a lot of it these days because of different terminologies.
A cryptocurrency is not specifically a token, it is a token that acts as money. What China is saying is.... no no no.... you will not be creating new money and new tokens that act as money and new blockchains for our money. You can however create INVESTMENT tokens. (similar to the US saying cryptocurrency is okay but if it is an investment security it must register with the SEC - not pose as a cryptocurrency).
For the record, NOTHING I say should be taken as gospel. Please understand in most of my posts I try to stress to people I AM NOT YOUR INVESTMENT ADVISER. If you lose every penny you have listening to my advice - do not blame me!

Ok, thanks to share your thoughts about NEO, great "economy" analyze of the coin.
What you say is that it is basically going to be without competitors in China for creating assets, smart-contracts etc...
NEO has also a great technical feature for me : it will allow writing of smart-contracts with any programming language (contrary to other coins who accepts only one "obscure" language for smart contracts).
So yes, with all this, I agree with you, in the long term, their potential is huge.

Both are the same development team, thats how they are related. One works as a public blockchain. So think of the way you understand crypto to work with crowd funding projects.

You can't farm NEO. NEO distributes the asset of GAS. To produce GAS you have to hold NEO in a WALLET - not an exchange. You can buy GAS on Binance, Yobtc, and 19800. You can get NEO on to many exchanges to list... bittrex being among them.

Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Yes, but this is NOT a typical type dip like as happens with bitcoin. This is all about the fear of China stopping ICO's. People vastly don't understand. China is not stupid enough to stop blockchain tech... they are just going to have tight control over it as thats what China does. When the fear and dust from bad news settles, people will see - china just does things different than what most people are used to. It also caused a HUGE dip it the bitcoin price... because people think ICO means crypto is banned.... bitcoin is not ICO.... NEO is not ICO.... so its all fear from speculation.

You got it buy buy buy buy buy. Literally treat NEO like Bitcoin. Expect prices to go way high, and then panic to drop it way low, and then another rebuild... and again and again. Every time an ICO is rejected there will be panic. Everytime China breaths about crypto there will be panic. Just hold tight NEO is here to stay, China may be a lot of things but stupid is not among them, they are not missing out on blockchain - and embracing a technology that forces businesses to be even more transparent to the government.... I promise that is just not happening.... :)

If you can afford to lose 77 NEO go for it. The future is very sketchy at best. Just realize it is an investment token not an actual coin. Despite all the news of China stopping ICO's they are not stopping Red Pulse - likely cause it excluded their citizens.

First of all thanks for this great article. I also agree with a lot of points you listed. My original thought was, that wales try to dump the price down, since the RPX ico is fixed to Neo. 1000RPX cost 1 Neo, so it might be a reason to want to collect more NEO. But regarding the scale of this drop, i dont think this is the case anymore. Its mainly FUD, where as I tend to buy those Cheap Prices! I really believe in Neo, especially with the Facts and Points you listed.
