It's not for everyone. Some people have the appetite for risk and others don't and never will. You can invest or watch and complain while others become wealthy...all the while claiming to be highly technical and that everyone else is an imbecile who happened about their new found wealth by being careless.

Risk often appears careless to those with a weak stomach. Risk is typically very ugly. It's not supposed to be pretty. If it were, all and sundry would be participants.

Risk wouldn't be risk without risk is all I'd leave you with.

Actually, I place ETH in the same league as ANS/NEO technically with a few differences here...

But like one of the contributors on the sub points out, ANS/NEO has some govt support (I use support lightly because there have been discussions with govt about NEO but nothing officially announced yet). Therefore, if this turns out to be the case, then undoubtedly, you'll find that NEO will be the crypto that wins in China. I think that this alone would make it very very big in terms of market cap.

Finally, technically, contract writing in ANS/NEO aims to be as easy as possible compared to ETH where unless you learn solidity, you cannot immediately jump in and start writing code for it. ANS/NEO aims to make it easy for any developer anywhere in the world to jump right in.

EDIT:

I think that many crypto-variants will exist simultaneously but that there'll be one or two that win because they implement ease of use quickly and well. Let's consider the internet in the early days; it was only useful to a select few who could withstand the pains of getting up and running with it. Crypto is the same way today. Few are willing to withstand the pain of its use - be it devs or regular users who may or may not double up as speculators.

If a coin can't be stupidly easy to use, then there cannot be mass adoption. ANS/NEO seems to have figured that out - making onboarding devs easy and attempting to reduce the energy required to run the network.

No point in building the wrong thing well

Very powerful statement there.

It's easy to hold an opinion when it's other people's money.

Is this is the only metric to warrant having an opinion?! Every stakeholder has a right to speak their mind. For the employees, they may not have the money to buy into the business but they do so via sweat equity (effort + time + risk).

Your attempt to trivialize their involvement amounts to nonsense for these reasons.
