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 Smiley

While I understand the content of your post and the intention behind it because Vitalik is the most public figure of Ethereum, we shouldn't forget that behind the scenes there are several brilliants minds who are able to discuss most of the technical things on eye level with Ethereum. It is not that every line of code is based on Vitalik's last word. A lot of the code by now is the result of heavy discussion between a bigger circle of people who take responsibility for Ethereum's way forward. I do however agree that Vitalik is one of a kind, he probably can't be replaced 1:1, but that isn't necessary to keep Ethereum competitive throughout the future.
