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

I personally believe that people around him who share the same vision can replace him. I believe he couldn't have become as big as he is now on his own, there must be other great people on his team as well.
