These two crypto currencies have both had some good jumps in the last month or so. Besides the recent pullbacks today we have noticed quite the shift from Ethereum and Dash growing immensely to NEM and NEO starting to out pace them in growth.
I believe this is because of the simplicity of NEM and how easy it is for everyone to participate.
NEO on the other hand I believe is going to be a really good competitor with IOTA, EOS, and ETHEREUM which are all competing in the same area. NEO obviously has a hold in the Asian markets which are a large portion of the Crypto markets as of right now. This will drive NEO's price up until it reaches some hard resistance and its technology is tested for mass market adoption
