Reddit user Hitchcaster caught up with NEO co-founder Da Hongfei at the recent Shanghai community meet up, filming a 15 minute interview.

They discussed such topics as GAS prices, KYC, Chinese rumours and development. The list of questions Da answered can be found underneath the below the video.

0:26 – What do you think will be the first country to develop mainstream adoption of blockchain?

1:03 – NEO to me is basically the blockchain of China, and the only thing stopping it from being one of the top three blockchains in the world would be China. Do you think China is going to stop NEO from being successful?

1:44 – Is KYC a reason why the government doesn’t have a problem with NEO?

2:06 – Is the only way to run a consensus node to have 1000 GAS?

3:40 – Do you have any idea if the ICO ban is temporary?

4:32 – Some people on Reddit in the past have complained about a lack of activity on GitHub. My understanding is that maybe it’s not as popular with China’s programmers. Is that true?

10:46 – Do you have any idea what the price of GAS will be in relation to NEO?
