NEO / AntShares seems to be on a rampage.

I had the funniest interaction around Antshares in the evercoin office.

We were all hanging out talking and Yasin said something funny:

Hey look AntShares is going to the moon, it’s the Chinese Etherium!

So I pulled out my trusty Trezor wallet and I did what people should never do. I bought AntShares on an impulse buy. I bought pretty close to the all time high of 11 dollars, only to watch it fall to earth, as expected.

After a while, this whole incident became something of a joke in the office, and we had a good laugh about it. We even once literally had ants that had formed a line to my desk to eat some crumbs that had been left there, and I pointed at the crumbs and said “look, Ant shares!”

So today, AntShares / Neo is at $32.66 on http://coinmarketcap.com and the thesis (“Chinese Etherium”) is actually proving out to some extent. China has a history of creating their own versions of every imaginable Internet service, so why wouldn’t they want their own cryptocurrency? Chinese investors can build their own wealth instead of that of Westerners, and they can invest in their own countrymen. The language is sufficiently different that they can tap into a different developer talent base and so the concept of a “Chinese Etherium” sounds a bit less comical that it did that first day.

So the question in this blog post is “Should Evercoin Exchange List NEO / AntShares? is a serious question. We have already had our sanity questioned for listing Dogecoin, but we feel that the developer team at Doge is great, and that the coin has a deep cultural history with the cryptocurrency community. So what about AntShares?
