Anyone heard of $NCR Neos Credits? Bought some about two weeks ago at $0.85 and today it is up to $7.55. I’ve never bought anything this early that has appreciated so much and am a bit scared to start counting my profits. I know there’s a lot of you that are smarter than me in here but haven’t seen it mentioned yet. Any thoughts? Of course people on Twitter are saying it can still 20x.
