Ever since Vitalik created Ethereum, the project has been on a road towards non-stop success. It's been around 6 years already with ETH being the world's second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. Vitalik's skills and great mindset will keep the project afloat for a very long time. But sometimes I wonder what will happen with Ethereum without Vitalik in play? The community could keep the project alive, but without a genius mind like Vitalik Buterin, ETH will be one step behind of its rivals. At least, that's the way I see it. But I could be wrong.
What are your thoughts? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Ethereum's success is inseparable from Vitalik's forward thinking in managing, ethereum has nothing in common with bitcoin, but he was able to make ethereum under one level with bitcoin, Vitalik proved successful in managing ethereum.
I think almost all the coins that exist today, want that kind of opportunity they can seize, but have we seen how far that level of ability can be taken by other coins.
I really believe he has a great team running this program, so that ethereum is able to prove that they really deserve to be in second place in crypto, it is not an easy thing to reach this peak, given the many rivals that exist and emerge in the crypto world today.
