Vitalik is definitely a big figure for this project, I think if he prepares a worthy public team of professionals for his departure, then everything will continue as before and the market will not react to the absence of the former leader and creator.

It is no doubt that Vitalik has contributed tremedously to the success of ethereum since it creation, and he deserves a lot of credit for that. But if he is unable to continue to lead ethereum, like every other company in the world, ethereum would survive. Vitalik is not the only one responsible for ethereum growth. And if he is unavailable, other people would rise up to the occasion.

For sure, Vitalik being there plays an important role in the Ethereum community. But let’s assume that he decides to leave tomorrow and leave Ethereum for the rest of the team, I think that Ethereum will still be able to survive. Take for example, when Satoshi left the cryptocurrency community, a lot of people must have felt that it was over, but the community still continued and it never failed till today.

So Vitalik is going to leave as well, I believe he must have trained a lot of people who are as good as he is and they will be ready to take in case he should decide to leave. And one thing that matters the most is that community remains there, that’s what keeps it going. And in the case of Vitalik its going to be different from Satoshi, because he’s still going to be there to guide them. It’s not going to be like Satoshi that is hiding his identity.

Bitcoin survived without Satoshi because no one knew his identity. But with Ethereum, that's another story. Everyone knows who created Ethereum so his disappearance will be a huge blow to the project itself. The community could find someone else to replace Vitalik, but things won't be the same. The same way Apple lost its luster after Steve Jobs died, the same could happen with Ethereum in the future. I'd be a "miracle" if Ethereum survives without Vitalik. It will show us that the project is truly decentralized and resilient, able to stand the test of time. If ETH's fate turns out to be the same as Bitcoin's in the long run, then it could last a lifetime. For now, let's focus on making Ethereum a better cryptocurrency for all by supporting it every way. Just my thoughts Grin

Vitalik's average cotton is the second most popular coin Ethereum in the whole coinmarketcap.  Etheteum is the mother of all Ethereum Blockchain coin.  Which is centered around other coins.  I hope the next generation like Vitalik will take the etherium coin to the next level of improvement.  While Etherium's more prostheses are in the market, Vitalik's next generation, Vitalik, will be at the forefront of further development, leaving behind all prostheses by leveraging skill.

Ever since Vitalik created Ethereum, the project has been on a road towards non-stop success. It's been around 6 years already with ETH being the world's second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. Vitalik's skills and great mindset will keep the project afloat for a very long time. But sometimes I wonder what will happen with Ethereum without Vitalik in play? The community could keep the project alive, but without a genius mind like Vitalik Buterin, ETH will be one step behind of its rivals. At least, that's the way I see it. But I could be wrong.

As it is often said there are no irreplaceable people, so the team of Ethereum will definitely manage to maintain their product. Nevertheless, some people can lose trust in Ethereum that is why its price can drop.
I can compare it with Buffett's company Berkshire Hathaway. There are a lot of analytics that make all decisions, but in case of Buffet’s death, stocks of this company will drop.

I disagree, this idea that people are just parts of a machine and that you can take them off and put another one and still obtain the same results is not correct, maybe that is true for the people that are not key to an organization but for the people that are key this is not true and you cannot replace them, and it is obvious this is the case here, as I stated before I really think that something similar will happen to ethereum than what happened to Apple once Steve Jobs was out of the company.

Not all agreements have coins, or then again in the event that they do, they may not be generally perceived, important, and exchanged on trades. Will such agreements pay charges without ETH?

Clients of a tokenless agreement can pay expenses in whichever tokens they need. For instance, a client of TokenlessContract can pay their expenses in a 50/50 blend of LemonadeCoin and TeaBucks. To guarantee liquidity among clients and excavators with various resources they would pay or acknowledge expenses with, a client can just issue numerous fundamentally unrelated exchanges paying with charges in various resources.

If ethereum does not survive without vitalik, its mean ethereum is not decentralised and its mean people buying and using it just because they trusted vitalik but not the network. Look at bitcoin, its still survive without satoshi nakamoto. Strong decentralised and open source project will still a live even after the founder is death.
bitcoin and ethereum are very different.
You can see what happened to some of the projects that were left by their top brass. or maybe just replaced with someone else. the situation is mostly bad even though their market is already pretty good.
but ethereum, without a founder. I believe this has a very bad impact on project development. all cannot just focus on the community and the market.

Well, that's why it's important to build a decentralized network in a way that it can survive without you. Satoshi probably left many years ago yet his successors were able to carry-on without Bitcoin degenerating to something else. I feel it's also very important to build a system that fairly promote very talented people with similar passion and ideologies to position that will guarantee they succeed you incase you are nolonger there. It should be a merit-based that almost guarantee the talented people work in harmony.

Hope he understands that pos contradicts what I watch him promote on YouTube.

That's how decentralization should work. But the fact that the Ethereum project is too tied to Vitalik, tells us that it's not as decentralized as we would thought it would be. Bitcoin is much more decentralized than Ethereum because the community is in-charge of its development. There are various developers working on it day and night to make it a rock-solid project for mainstream use. After all, there's no single person or leader taking direction of the project (unlike Ethereum). I fail to see how ETH will survive without a brilliant mind like Vitalik, as the community itself cannot provide true innovation to make the project stand out among the rest of its competitors. PoS will add even more centralization to the project, so I doubt ETH will last as long as BTC in the future. Just my thoughts Grin

Yes Vitalik is a smart person.
he has such extraordinary abilities that he managed to take ETH to the top level in cryptocurrencies.
I believe that ETH without Vitalik is like a soldier without a commander in a war.
Because control is needed

What people are mistaking is that Vitalik was just a content writer back in the day, who happened to have a lot of bitcoins earlier on because of his timing and then he basically took over ethereum and thats it. He is not the king of ethereum or the only owner or operator or manager or president or anything of ethereum.

Ethereum is a decentralized currency and yes Vitalik does some stuff for it and if we like it then we follow him and accept his offers but that's it, we accept it. The moment Vitalik does something which majority of people disagree with then his idea will be shut down as well, there is nobody more powerful then the people. So nothing happens if he dies tomorrow.

Ethereum will definitely survive even without Vitalik, it's been developed for many years already and it will not be successful if only Vitalik is the one developing it. Like any business, the founder or the owner never last forever as we don't live with infinity, him as the CEO knows the time will come that he cannot be the CEO anymore, so he needs to make a plan to keep the project keep running even if he retires or dies.

Vitalik already laid down the foundation and the roadmap of Ethereum, and part of it is creating a team that will oversee and continue the development of Ethereum and maintains their edge over the other projects, I don't think it's going to be the end of Ethereum if ever Vitalik decided to leave the project, a good developer and organization know that they can only move forward if they have fresh talent that they can recruit and train, Buterin and his team already knows all of this they have a contingency and future plan laid out.

While I understand the content of your post and the intention behind it because Vitalik is the most public figure of Ethereum, we shouldn't forget that behind the scenes there are several brilliants minds who are able to discuss most of the technical things on eye level with Ethereum. It is not that every line of code is based on Vitalik's last word. A lot of the code by now is the result of heavy discussion between a bigger circle of people who take responsibility for Ethereum's way forward. I do however agree that Vitalik is one of a kind, he probably can't be replaced 1:1, but that isn't necessary to keep Ethereum competitive throughout the future.

Ether without Vitalik can live. And I think that after a while Vitalik will want to retire.
There are lots of developers actively working on the ethereum protocol. These developers were also giving so many new innovation to be implemented or to fix the problem that faced by ethereum but remember that if the community will be also seeing it whether it will have needed by ethereum protocol or not.
Vitalik was a smartguy and even when ethereum can survive without him and im sure that his contribution was so big

The initiative was Vitalik, now everything isn't the vision or idea of him. Ethereum has got a big team, the combined effort is getting reflected on the regular upgrade and growth of the market. Nothing to worry about the Ethereum after Vitalik. Just think of Bitcoin, the initiative is from Satoshi. Further what happened, none knew the identity but it's keeps growing and stands on the top.

You can find many jokes about Vitalik Buterin on the forum, but this is the only person who did a lot to create a truly decentralized project.
Several hundred programmers around the world are developing updates for the mainnet and thousands of programmers are doing
applications on smart contracts.
This is a good start, but the network still lacks scalability.

I'm sure behind a great leader there must be a super team who always doing 101% of their work moreover in this crypto industry new projects coming every day and the competitor is anywhere. Luck is one of from many factors that good leaders having a good teams also, so i think it's already the destiny of ETH having both of it, great leader and great team.

Ethereum's success is inseparable from Vitalik's forward thinking in managing, ethereum has nothing in common with bitcoin, but he was able to make ethereum under one level with bitcoin, Vitalik proved successful in managing ethereum.

I think almost all the coins that exist today, want that kind of opportunity they can seize, but have we seen how far that level of ability can be taken by other coins.

I really believe he has a great team running this program, so that ethereum is able to prove that they really deserve to be in second place in crypto, it is not an easy thing to reach this peak, given the many rivals that exist and emerge in the crypto world today.

The community will lead Ethereum the way they did with Bitcoin.  The success of Ethereum is to have added smart contracts to their project and created many valuable Daaps. Vitalik leads Ethereum and makes things better and faster. Without Vitalik, Ethereum would be chaotic and difficult to improve the source code because the project always has a conflict of interest between miners and the Ethereum core team.
It's beyond expectations that ETH will be led by the community without Vitalik, I think Vitalik will inherit the development of ETH to his confidants and he must involve trusted people from the start to be active on the stage so that we are familiar if Vitalik is no longer leading ETH.

He is not the only genius we have, and can they develop a team that will overlook the Ethereum technology, they have the funds to do it, so I don't think, there will be an issue when it comes to Vitalik leaving Ethereum, they are ahead of the competition right now so I'm sure they have this on their plan if ever Vitalik leaves Ethereum, they don't want the project go down when they have the support of a huge community.

Well, let's start with the fact that due to the openness of the ETH ecosystem, almost any developer can enter it with their developments. In addition, now there are many projects with cross-chain links between ETH and for example. Solana, Polygon, Near and others. Vitalik is, of course, a genius developer, but with the efforts and access of the minds of the whole world, this ecosystem will never die and will feel great among cryptocurrencies, it may even reach the top 1 in a few years, when people finally stop this hype among outdated BTC

Vitalik isn't going anywhere I guess. He has made his billions with his pre-mine, all the forks and all the airdrops. He has a bigger stake in Ethereum than anyone else. So the question isn't that what will happen to Ethereum if Vitalik goes, the question is, what will happen to Vitalik if Ethereum goes, lol.

Vitalik raised money by selling Ethereum to people for at a rate of 1 BTC= 2000 ETH. That makes it a security and someone will have to own up to it. So Ethereum will basically become just another blockchain corporation with Vitalik being personally responsible for its ownership. Of course, this is not some horror outcome for Vitalik. Although, it definitely is as far as can be from being a decentralized blockchain.

This is a non sense question. OP you should try to understand what means of blockchain and how it works. Ethereum was a protocol and this can be considered as the decentralized chain. Vitalik plays nothing in this case except an ethereum developers that were contributing a lot to the development of ethereum protocol. That doesn't make sense to see the blockchain to be pegged with someone.
Vitalik was not only the creator of ethereum but this blockchain depends on the nodes

Well, there is one other example that might give us a hint at what might happen to a coin without the creators support. One perfect example of this is when Satoshi Nakamoto suddenly disappeared and Bitcoin development was passed on to the other members of the developer's team. So I think the same thing will happen if Vitalik stopped continuing his participation in the development of Ethereum. I am pretty sure that Ethereum will survive without Vitalik.

Bitcoin has done just fine without the head of the serpent.  These projects are much bigger than just one person.  While Vitalik has been monumental for eth if he leaves then they will be just fine there are plenty of other talented developers that can keep it going.  Satoshi left bitcoin, Charlie left litecoin, etc etc.

Bitcoin has done it without Satoshi around, why not on Ethereum, there are a lot of good developers within the team Vitalik can train them, and besides they are a stable organization they can hire fresh talents that can infuse more development within the Ethereum technology, Vitalik knows that he cannot be at it forever.

He needs to think very carefully about this and begin to groom a successor or he needs to do something similar to what satoshi did and find a group of people that take care of his project when he decides to leave or he dies, if he doesn't I really think that something similar is going to happen to ethereum than what happened with Apple, Steve Jobs was Apple, and when he was forced out the first time the company was struggling, then when he came back the company once again reached its former glory, and now that he has passed away Apple is once again not what it used to be.

What if without Vitalik when the situation of Ethereum is already established? I guess that's just the same as bitcoin and the development will continue through the hands of those concerned people in the community. But if it is the other situation which is there's no Vitalik from the very start, I think that it will still succeed but not the same as today since most of the early projects still got the recognition and thrived through the years because of their development.

So what is the value assumption of bitcoin if it is no longer anonymous of its founder?  Lol
There will be a panic if this thing happen because Vitalik did a great job with ETH and many believes that if he stays with ETH, this project can still go for more peaks. Yes, there’s a lot of good people under ETH team, that’s a total team effort this is why they are experiencing a good support from the community. Vitalik is very professional, I’m sure he will not leave ETH yet, he is still working good.

This is the difference between Bitcoin and Ethereum. Bitcoin runs normally without any changes, even though those who created Bitcoin have left Bitcoin, Bitcoin can run normally.
Ethereum continues to be upgrade, if there is no Vitalik of course the upgrade will stop, such as the Ethereum V2 upgrade. And blockchain site changes. Could Ethereum still be safe if their development team is gone? Hopefully my way of thinking is wrong, and please correct me.

I think it's difficult to understand what will happen to the progress, development and sustainability of Ethereum in the absence of Vitalik, I think the circumstances surrounding his exit is what matters the most, if for example, Vitalik actually plans his exit from the Eth network, then I don't think there will be too much of a problem, cause he would prepare how exactly he'll handover the network and what he'll want the continuity to be like, that is in the case of a premeditated exit.

But having said that, if Vitalik is to leave unexpectedly on the occurrence of an unforeseen circumstance, then it could be disastrous for the network as it'll take quite a lot of time to balance things out in the absence of Vitalik.

Only one answer: ETH is losing its zest for life, which will obviously lead to price chaos. Because of course this is the key to the success of ETH, and until now Vitalik still can't be used, even if there is it won't be the same as him.
There will be many people looking for face, and wishing to have it, but still ETH is no longer the same.

So without him for sure there will be no ethereum anymore once it fails again or there's an error occurred on the project,. Because tbh only vitalik is the real key why ethereum became a successful project in the space.. So without him there's no ethereum even before IMO and maybe there are crypto currency that will replace the throne..

I ❤ ₿itcoin and Ethereum
of course with the community of Ethereum, so as long as Ethereum is still popular and remains the choice as a long-term investment, then of course Ethereum will definitely survive forever and I also believe that Ethereum will definitely remain the right choice for a long-term investment, especially if ETH 2.0 has been launched, then of course it will affect for the price of Etheruem to be able to increase higher than its ATH price, therefore I chose Ethereum for my investment, because by investing in Ethereum, then of course in the future I can definitely get a lot of profit and become rich.

Ethereum without Vitalik is like the earth without water (the source of life) looks barren, barren and cannot grow a blade of grass. Maybe we'll go to Mars.
Honestly, Vitalik role cannot be separated from Ethereum, maybe if it wasn't for him, the fate of Ethereum would not be as great and crazy as this in the cryptocurrency industry.
Because the husband has an end, there must be someone who can replace him, miners are still struggling and investors are still willing to pay for it. I believe, Vitalik already has a plan for Ethereum future not to stop after he dies. We just don't know for sure.

Most of the biggest organizations I know have an established plans for succession as we don't know what can be in this world. And I am sure that Vitalik Buterin himself is aware of the importance to have this succession plans in placed. Now, we know that Ethereum is always connected with this young man and if ever he can be taken out for any reason then most probably the whole network can be affected but it does not mean the end of it. Just look at Apple right now and soon we could see the main man in Amazon to be stepping down and even CZ of Binance is already thinking of having someone filled up his shoes in Binance. Ethereum will still be Ethereum and will continue to be growing without Vitalik though I am not wishing this to happen any time.

I think Vitalik should find a successor at some point. I'm sure there will be some people who will be available to continue it's development with same vision.
Then what for development which is currently still not good in your opinion? because what I see on Ethereum is very worthy of praise because it has really helped Ethereum users in the past and also at this time.

Well, that's why it's important to build a decentralized network in a way that it can survive without you. Satoshi probably left many years ago yet his successors were able to carry-on without Bitcoin degenerating to something else. I feel it's also very important to build a system that fairly promote very talented people with similar passion and ideologies to position that will guarantee they succeed you incase you are nolonger there. It should be a merit-based that almost guarantee the talented people work in harmony.

Hope he understands that pos contradicts what I watch him promote on YouTube.

This is a good question! Unlike Bitcoin where Satoshi left the development so there's no central point of failure, in ETH, Vitalik seems still controls the development. If he steps down in the near future, I think there will be a civil war in ETH community. However, ETH community will mature over time, so in the event where he steps down (when he gets old, retired or something), I think the development will still continue.

BUT the question of survivability isn't entirely about him since there will be smarter people born every day, and may come up with greater idea than ETH. Wink

ethereum has grown enormously in the market. we might see when ethereum is without Vitalik in the future. the community is certainly a strong background for the survival of ethereum in the market.
but of course, there has to be someone as extraordinary as Vitalik to continue the development of an already large platform.
If you only depend on the community without project development, it's like waiting for time to die.

Vitalik was playing a role to give a contribution for what kind of innovation that must be implemented into the ethereum protocol. We know that if the bug and problem will always there and that's why vitalik was playing the main role to think about what kind of solution to be implemented to fix the problem but this doesn't mean if vitalik was not with ethereum and ethereum will die.
Ethereum's life depend on the miners and parties who have been helping to run the network.

Ever since Vitalik created Ethereum, the project has been on a road towards non-stop success. It's been around 6 years already with ETH being the world's second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. Vitalik's skills and great mindset will keep the project afloat for a very long time. But sometimes I wonder what will happen with Ethereum without Vitalik in play? The community could keep the project alive, but without a genius mind like Vitalik Buterin, ETH will be one step behind of its rivals. At least, that's the way I see it. But I could be wrong.

What are your thoughts? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Smiley
