Does anyone not agree that 500 GAS for now is a good idea? prevents spammy/scammy projects from launching on NEO, preserving reputation.

NEO projects are typically doing well, maybe this is an incentive to use NEO and pay the 500 GAS...

There's going to positives and negative no doubt.

A little off topic but it cost like 5-10 million USD to list a token on Binance, wait till NEX kicks off!

Interesting times ahead, I think NEO definitely has a place in the future.

I dont see a reason why China would ban ICO, the laws and regulations is there to prevent scam projects and bring more strict compliance and create an ecosystem that promote legit projects

as Neo ecosystem grow and mature, we shall see some ICO projects spike out of the forest and becomes the next big thing

The problem is that often old politicians are responsible to develop the young new world. If the US qualifies all tokens as securities for example, that might be really slowing down innovation as people provide less capital to the blockchain space.

I did not know this yet about the fake Neon wallet. Thank you for the alert!

F*ck you, scammers and thieves!!!   

Current release of Neon Wallet is 0.2.5 and is safely found here: https://github.com/CityOfZion/neon-wallet/releases

In General , in the last couple of years, probably along with the growing popularity of cryptocurrencies, fraud of all kinds of activities is also growing. I think now more than ever need to be very careful.

Will NEO create a platform like Etherdelta? It would be very popular and the trade will not depend on the registration on the stock exchange.
