Everything can happen, but I do not think Ethereum will die or fall. Look at the big projects like Steemit, Bitcoin. Even if their leaders leave, these projects continue to evolve. Satoshi Nakamoto and Dan Larimer after leaving, there will be others who will continue to grow, which suggests that if Vitalik is die, Ethereum can continue to grow.

Agree. Bitcoin is still standing strong even after the disappearance of Satoshi. On the other hand, Larimer left Bitshares and Steemit, but these projects have been growing on their own. Which means, that Ethereum could experience the same thing right after Vitalik's death. An open source project that's decentralized, allows anyone to participate in it to improve the software for the better. That's the reason why there are many developers working on Ethereum, as well as, the community supporting it.

In the end, Ethereum could live for future generations as a cryptocurrency and smart contract platform for the masses. If Vitalik dies, then he'll be remembered as one of the pioneers of the crypto space that brought the concept of smart contracts to life. Therefore, I wouldn't worry too much about Vitalik's death (at least in the meantime). Just my thoughts Grin

never. Vitalik does not hold too much ETH as people think. He is the only operator and developer of blockchain technology. If he dies, there will be another substitute and ETH will continue to function normally. ETH was controlled by whales.

What do you think will happen with Ethereum if Vitalik Buterin's death is confirmed? Will the price crash and the project fail? Or would it continue to grow into infinity and beyond? I'm concerned about this, since previously, there were rumors about Vitalik's death which caused the price of Ethereum to fall drastically within the cryptocurrency market. Fortunately, Vitalik showed proof that he was alive, which calmed the downfall of Ethereum's price.

However, if Vitalik dies, many things could happen either good or bad. Perhaps, Ethereum may fall if Vitalik dies, because he's been leading the project every step of the way. By not having a leader, the Ethereum project will disorientate itself into oblivion, IMO. Nonetheless, what are your thoughts about this? Roll Eyes

In my opinion ethereum is strong and stable for such things like this. It has investrors trust and if Buterin will gone ethereum will be fine

That's without a doubt, mate. Compared with most altcoins on the market, Ethereum has the most trust in a similar way to Bitcoin. Many people have used this cryptocurrency at a large scale, which means that there shouldn't be any reason to worry about Vitalik's death in the future. If he dies, then he'll be remembered as one of the most prominent figures in crypto land. Another person might succeed him after his death, but if it doesn't happen, Ethereum will continue with the vast amount of developers working on it.

The pioneer smart contract platform not only has support from a wide number of developers across the world, but also from individuals, businesses, and companies alike. With many things that have happened (such as the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance) and those that will happen in the future (Raiden Network, Plasma Framework, Casper PoS, Sharding), Ethereum will be here to stay for a long time.

Therefore, investors shouldn't pay much attention to Vitalik's death, if Ethereum remains a solid platform for dApps and tokens. Just my thoughts Grin

No it won't, he has an amazing team around him which will continue his vision. ETH is not some extension of him now- It is a great platform with its direction decided by many

That's only FUD, but the correct tittle should be if bitcoin dies and ethereum too. If there was no vitalik and there was a community behind it, that will create more development on the ethereum platform. Vitalik is not the only one but we have a lot of professionals behind it.

That's without a doubt. At first, I've thought that Vitalik's death would negatively impact the Ethereum project. But then, I've kept researching and realized that there are too many people working on the same. Which means, that if Vitalik goes away, the community and developers working on Ethereum will replace him. Vitalik only represents Ethereum but he has no stake in the future direction of the project.

The Ethereum blockchain would continue to live on its own, just like Bitcoin did without Satoshi (after his disappearance in 2011). In the case of Bitcoin, many believe that Satoshi is dead since it quickly disappeared without trace a couple of years ago. Despite this, Bitcoin has been alive and running, with its newest ATH last year. The same way Bitcoin had success on its own, the same way would be with the Ethereum project.

Therefore, there shouldn't be any reason to worry about Vitalik's death (at least in the meantime). Just my opinion

it seems like when vitalik dies then ethereum price will fall and certainly there will be many who panic because they think with ethereum vitalic death will not have a good development anymore so that makes ethereum fall.

the panic will come to eth just a while if vitalik dies my friend
i know the idea of eth come from vitalik,, but ethereum dev teams not only vitalik,,
so i believe the development of eth will continue without vitalik

I'm starting to think the Ethereum will fall without it.It is as bad as possible at the moment and already any belief in a better future of this cryptocurrency is reduced to absolute zero

I think so. Ethereum falls at any opportunity and now reacts to any negative news. as it becomes clear, buterin's death is a negative news that will definitely have a significant impact on the market

This might be the reason why Satoshi Nakamoto prefers to be unknown person as he anticipate this kind of negative news and he will be pressure by the community. Nowadays it's so easy to create fake news around crypto as the people will ride due to market situation.

it seems so because Vitalik is the founder of Ethereum, if Vitalik dies then the price of Ethereum will drop due to no development for Ethereum. Vitalik is the main key of Ethereum, so far Ethereum has become more developed and popular or widely used in ICO projects. but after Vitalik is gone, maybe Ethereum will fall. that's just my thinking about Ethereum and maybe some of you have other opinions.

As we know that Vitalik is still alive and he can't do anything to make ethereum great again, ethereum prices continue to drop and I'm regret that my biggest investment is ethereum, this proves that without or with Vitalik, ethereum depends on the market.

I don't know why people are propagating negative news about the ETH and Vitalik, due to market fluctuation the price of ETH is going down but how can people simply call them a scam, we have to wait until the market starts regaining in order to increase their prices.

I heard that there was a fake news about Buterin’s death last year. then ETH has fallen in price as far as I know ...

Yeah right . btc is the one and the only real one that controlls all cryptos including eth . now if btc dies , im pretty sure that eth will also die but if only vitalik dies i dont think that it can affect the status of etherium .

speaking of deaths , many people already claimed that eth and btc or any other cryptos are already died or now dying just because they only see that it is not recovering anymore and the value is only dropping . i guess that is only their terminology or term but in reality valueable cryptos wont die because they have thier own purposes .

I think that Ethereum is one of those projects that do not really depend on everything in order with their leader, it would be foolish to hope that some problems with Vitalik Buterin could somehow very strongly affect the capitalization of such a giant project. Especially since, as I heard, he himself confirmed this fact on his twitter.

That's good to know, since many people have closely related Ethereum's success and longevity to Vitalik. However, that's not the case since the vast number of developers working on Ethereum (and the community) have been responsible towards making Ethereum what it is today. Vitalik is only an advisor for the Ethereum project and the co-founder. In case he went missing or dead, the project would live on its own due to its decentralized nature.

Despite this, it was best for Vitalik to never reveal his identity from the start (just like Bitcoin's Satoshi Nakamoto did). That way, people in the mainstream world would focus more on the project itself than Vitalik. However, now that everyone knows who created Ethereum, there's a risk involved since anything that happens to Vitalik could either positively or negatively impact the project. Despite this, I have good faith in Ethereum the same way I have it in Bitcoin. Ethereum would survive for a long time alongside Bitcoin, due to its unmatched security and continuous development.

Therefore, all that matters is that Ethereum will be here to stay with or without Vitalik. Grin

Something unique about start ups is the co-founder standing by incase of eventualities to keep the brand/product's vision running. Take a cue from Apple and steve jobs. Ethereum will not go into oblvion should things go south with Vitalik
