The Venturebeat article is a very good one. As with Ripple that is exactly the reason why I invested in NEO. Being centralized and Chinese gives it a good chance that the price will explode in the mid long term (because the gov. backs it). After this hype I will sell this centralized coin to buy more decentralized Bitcoin. The same I did with Ripple, never believed in the project, but bought some for a few cents and dumped it at 2,20 and bought BTC with it.
