Yes and Vitalik is the only man behind Ethereum.
With all respect,
Vitalik BULLterin and Alexander BOARodich still have a bit different results when it comes to project knowledge and PR... Even if Vitaliks face looks much less trustful than AB. (Vitalik looks like a member of some russian gang with fishy eyes and criminal face).
Nevertheless, i still evaluate Universa with very decent 20 percent when it comes to the chance "to be a next big thing"
