I feel that vitalik created blockchain 2.0, which should be regarded as a milestone in the currency circle. In the world of blockchain, his contribution is second after Satoshi Nakamoto.
I don’t think anyone is discrediting Vitalik’s achievement in the crypto and blockchain industry. He has done a lot and we should applaud him for that. Before, we had Ethereum, there has been so many other cryptocurrencies that came before it, such as Litecoin, dogecoin, and the rest of them. But ethereum is the first smart contract we had in the crypto currency and blockchain industry.
Until now, it has remained as one of the top alternative coins in the market, and has steady maintained its number one position in altcoins market, and the 2nd biggest cryptocurrency in general. So, Vitalik did very well and no one is doubting that.
Vitalik has definitely contributed much in crypto because ethereum's smart network has been very useful and reliable to the different projects that have been rampant in the market. And yes, no one is doubting that. And because of the potentials of ethereum, aside from being a smart network, its also being used nowadays as a currency to those who accept ethereum payments.
Not just Satoshi Nakamoto but also Vitalik Buterin should be applauded because of their great contributions in crypto. Without bitcoin and ethereum, crypto space may not still be acknowledge this time.
