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

Bitcoin has done just fine without the head of the serpent. These projects are much bigger than just one person. While Vitalik has been monumental for eth if he leaves then they will be just fine there are plenty of other talented developers that can keep it going. Satoshi left bitcoin, Charlie left litecoin, etc etc.
