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

Well, let's start with the fact that due to the openness of the ETH ecosystem, almost any developer can enter it with their developments. In addition, now there are many projects with cross-chain links between ETH and for example. Solana, Polygon, Near and others. Vitalik is, of course, a genius developer, but with the efforts and access of the minds of the whole world, this ecosystem will never die and will feel great among cryptocurrencies, it may even reach the top 1 in a few years, when people finally stop this hype among outdated BTC
