How so? It has a lot of ties to industry already, good development, and plenty of evidence of delivering on their roadmap. That's already better than most crypto-currencies.
Like what? Every partnership or "tie" that I've ever heard of ends up being a rumor bordering on outright falsehood - like Microsoft (x2). 2 out of 3 ICOs they had announced prior to the ban ended up being delayed by 6 months or more, quite likely due to platform immaturity.
> good development
For an alpha / early stage crypto project, maybe. However they lack all the features that NEO actually brags about and the codebase is an untestable C# mess where core modules are more or less opaque to everyone but the main developer. It's a security nightmare waiting to happen, and a usability nightmare in the moment : building & publishing the simplest dapp on the platform is basically a non starter right now.
> plenty of evidence of delivering on their roadmap
Again, like what? The platform doesn't actually do anything yet. It basically consists of a few centralized servers and a centrally mined (and centrally owned) token. They're nowhere close to even delivering on dBFT itself, let alone high-concept stuff like mapping physical goods to a "digital identity".

Not if you compare it to other "currencies" in anything close to the same price range. Its valuation is far and away driven by clever marketing and uninformed speculation.
Is their website neo.org? Because that website won't load for me after about 5 minutes. Not exactly inspiring a lot of trust for someone who wants to learn about them.
