He deserves it.  The protocol/platform that he made is amazing and has revolutionized this entire space.  Just think of all the tokens that running off the Ethereum network.  Ethereum is amazing.

Looks like this award news itself has proven super bullish for Eth, so till award day i think eth can reach 1000 bucks if the momentum and volume continues to grow like it is doing at the moment.

Vitalik deserves the prize without any doubt more than anyone else. He was the first who created smart contract and started the era of ICOs. Thanks to him we all have a change to earn money using cryptocurrencies. And I really hope that he won't stop and continue developing his project.

He deserves the price for sure, only a genius could have thought of something so revolutionary as Ethereum at that time. I'm sure that in the future Ethereum will develop more and become way bigger than it is now thanks to Vitalik.

Finally a big organization recognizes the Ethereum network and sees the genius that it provides.
I think that he really deserves the prize although I don't agree with his vision( relying the Ethereum network and setting it to fit ICOs only, ignoring the other benefits that smart contracts could have provided), this creation is revolutionary, and it could be compared to the invention of bulb or other useful stuffs.

Sure Vitalik has done questionable antics in the past with his quantum computing scandal but he was a computer science nerd who is exploring in his field.
Who can say their past is spotless without things that would not be scorned by others? Stand up and say this with a straight face. Lips sealed
He is a hacker let us all be honest about who he is. And geniuses can be those and even hired by the FBI in their bureau of investigations to fight against cyber terrorism.
He even was a speaker at a hackathon in Russia last year. Grin
He can not hide behind the mask of anonymous. Cool

At a black tie gala, inventor and founder Vitalik Buterin, will be receiving his genius award on May 11th in New Jersey City.
Vitalik was introduced to the blockchain at the age of 19 and was not satisfied with what he saw. So he developed his own decentralized applications and the concept of using smart contracts on a blockchain was born.

There will be three others who will take part in the awards ceremonies.

Here is a quote from the article of who those might be:

Other recipients of the 2018 Genius Award include Sara Seager, described as the “Indiana Jones of Astronomy;” Laurie Santos, renowned for teaching the “Science of Happiness;” and George Church, described as a “legendary genomics pioneer.”

 I personal think Vitalik desires the genius award because he is a game changer, without the Ethereum smart contract blockchain there would had been no ICOs dapps. How I wish to be there in New Jersey to witness the ceremony.

Nice to know that Ethereum's founder will be awarded for making Ethereum a reality. Since ETH was the first, original, smart contracts platform brought into crypto land, I'd say that Vitalik really deserves the award. As far as I'm aware, there's no other like him in terms of knowledge when it comes to blockchain related stuff. He knows what he's doing and could lead the Ethereum platform for future success.

Therefore, I believe that Vitalik could be compared to Nakamoto, in the sense that he's a pure genius just like Bitcoin's creator. He will be remembered for future generations as one of the most prominent figures in blockchain history. Smiley

The award is well deserved.

Also sooner or later, "Satoshi Nakamoto" would be given a Nobel Prize.

Other developers to watchout for; Daniel Larimer, Rong Chen, Eli Ben-Sasson,  Charles Hoskinson

sure okay vb gets the award...

David zimbeck, byteball dev, sys dev, zcash team, , jl777,  i'm sure anonymint is going to be up there in due course, cfb and a handful of others .


to be fair there is not more than 15 devs or teams that have created something of real note the rest of the projects are mostly marketing hype and dreamers.

That's nice. He's a scammer. If you support him or his work, so are you.

Really, I was just thinking what a rare moral man this dude appears to be.   Not that you can ever know for sure at a distance but I've never heard anything especially negative about him.   Did the ETH founders even gain especially from its rise, if it were me I'd have a million ETH stashed away betting on my own genius involvement and knowledge I stick with things.  But apparently they didnt do this, contrast this to Ripple for example and ETH looks golden in comparison.

Last best hope for crypto kind meme worthy Tongue, Vitalik is surely not that bad whatever it is you are mentioning.  Nobody is perfect of course
