The recent news about Vitalik Buterin considering to leave ETH for Google made me think about the potential aftermath of such situation. Of course, no one takes it seriously now, and neither do I. But what if something like this could really happen? Of course, we can be safe that it will not happen right now, and all of us understand it. But what if one day he really left the team of Ethereum, then would you personally continue supporting this coin? Or you think that ETH will just die without its creator?
I would, but the thing is that if he lives then the coin will likely suffer from some losses for a while before it can get back on its feet again. I think that a lot of peopel like me would not leave the project but the creator of a coin leaving their own coin is one thing that might put a lot of people off their gam and cause them to start panicking and selling their coins.
