yeah of course. don't be funny guys, vitalik is a one of the most brilliant guys in the world right now and you will see 5 or 10 years ethereum is going to moon easily.
Yes, Vitalik is very valuable asset. I wish I've participated in this "scam" ICO and was patient enough to wait several years.
Bitcoin and Ethereum are very different but ETH has good chances to beat BTC IMO (I think the advanced tech will make it possible)
