Excuse me, as a cryptocurrency enthusiast, I'm curious to understand the intricacies of various digital assets. Could you please clarify for me if NEO is indeed a Bitcoin? My understanding is that Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency known for its pioneering blockchain technology, while NEO is also a blockchain-based platform that aims to facilitate the development of decentralized applications. However, I'm not entirely sure if NEO is a derivative or an entirely separate entity from Bitcoin. Could you elaborate on the key differences between the two, and whether NEO could be classified as a type of Bitcoin? Thank you for your time and insight.
