you are wrong!
Why should the Chinese government invest in NEO, while they can create a similar platform with full control?
They are easily lead people on their way, because they are dictate their demands, and the Chinese people are obedient.
Satoshi Nakamoto does not even exist. It was merely an intelligence operation to replace the USD Dollar with an alternative without real value. China and Russia are in conflict with Western powers because they do not want a unipolar world and China and Russia will introduce gold backed (fairly) decentralised national cryptocurrency and then you can put your Bitcoin where it belongs: In the trash bin. The Bitcoin cult comes up with terms such as 'mining' and you feel the need to promote it as a 'golden coin'. It is just hashing, but of course that does not sound sexy, now does it? It is all just propaganda. Bitcoin is heavily infested with a NSA, CIA and Worshipful Company of Information Technologists presence....not that that means anything to you. When countries start to introduce asset backed currencies NEO will still be standing as it is a smart contracts platform that adds value to the real economy that is fully compatible with all facets of real commerce and governments, but Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Monero, OmiseGo, Dash and many others will die out. Of course you will not want to believe that and I would not want it any other way. Why do you think various intelligence agencies have already been researching cryptocurrencies and blockchain for the last fifteen years? That is longer than Bitcoin exists.....think that is for no reason at all?
You talk about China being so much in favour of centralisation, but you obviously have no clue that the USA is far more centralised and the Great Britain has the City of London as sovereign state that has more power than England in many regards. The PBOC has taken care far better of its population than the Federal Reserve. There have been no free markets in the Western world for a long time with the Plunge Protection Team, the Exchange Stabilisation Fund and other chicanery such as naked short selling and derivatives.
For the financial powers of this world, it does not matter if centralisation without value backing, centralisation with value backing or decentralisation without value backing is used. All can be manipulated to greater or lesser extent. The only thing that cannot be manipulated is decentralisation with value backing. That is what will kill Bitcoin, but not NEO as NEO fully accommodates that on its platform. Look back a few years and Bitcoin had 90% market dominance. It has now already dropped below 50% and once NEO shows its full potential it will drop even far more. People in the real world will want price stability.....most people currently do not understand that, but that is why most cryptocurrencies are all first generation cryptocurrencies and they have no clue how second or third generation cryptos would differ from the ones that are currently around. Bitcoin also is held hostage by miner influence. Anyone who mines has influence and yet the average user has no influence. You call that fair? It does not even matter whether miners are untrustworthy....they all have a vote, whether anyone likes it or not. Bitcoin can also be forked indefinitely and therefore is no stable currency at all. Anyone who is not a complete idiot clearly sees that for what it is: inflation. How long before we have 10 different Bitcoins....each alleging to be more legitimate than the others? And with each fork, people will notice it more and more for the fraud that it is. NEO on the other hand does not fork and neither does NEO pretend to be all kinds of things that it is not. You stay on the Bitcoin ship and sink with it. Or will you jump of it like a rat when it will start sinking? I expect you to jump.....the pure Bitcoin supporters are not the most honourable bunch as they will use twisted arguments to further their own agendas (read: wallet), not unlike central bankers.
