What happens if Vitalik leave Ethereum? Does he will really quit?
I found some news from Twitter that Vilatik Buterin may quit Ethereum porject. I am very concerned.l Please share some more info you have or your opinion.
Thank you so much!
PS: I am holding ETH with most my money.

Other co-founders have left and Ethereum has done fine. True that he wrote the initial white paper, but I don't think that is very significant at this point. He is the face of Ethereum too. I'm not sure I see him leaving.

If he does leave the Ethereum team, I am very sure that it will cause a significant change affecting the price of ETH. Hope that he really won't leave as most of the people are betting their lives in ETH than BTC. It will surely affect all altcoin in the market if ETH price crashes especially those who are doing an ICO which mainly accepts BTC and ETH as their payment.

There are many issues related to ETH that I have read and learned is that ETH's Burterin and Devs will divert development on their own route, which is towards the centralized supply. They are looking at it carefully. Burterin was one of the reasons I invested a lot of money in order to hold onto and trust the success of ETH. I did not expect him to leave ETH at any time.

Everyone knows Durov's telegram, but the first Durov's project in Russia was social network Vkontakte, few years ago Durov quit from VK. Vk is still working and feels very well, it's a giant social network with giant profit. So, I think that if Vitalik leave Ethereum, ETH will keep on develop, and Buterin will start some new projects.

I don't think that Vitalik will throw his project. If things will be bad, most likely he will make hardfork and continue to develop his own blockchain branch.

He get offer from Google but he don't accept till yet and i don't think he will left Ethereum, he can handle both.

For me the project should be fine, Satoshi left Bitcoin project and the project has scaled up significantly after he left, if Ethereum is decentralised the way they make it to sound then there should be no problem, the only concern I have is if he wants to go and create a competing platform to Ethereum

Everything will be all right with Ethereum. This is not a new project without a foundation. This is already a full-fledged working product that has settled on the market.

If ever he leave then i think Ethereum will continue to exist simply because the ERC20 stadardization is already implemented so therefore it will continue in that way but if ever that Ethereum cannot work without Vitalik then the ICO will force to shift to use the other platform like the Wave platform in which a chance for the Wave to become the top of all Altcoins in the history too.

There is a lot of indecisiveness rampant in the crypto world. Everyone and everything seemingly waiting for some sign or resolution. So no one can predict this decision, which is going to be tougher on the one taking it than on the ones wondering about it. indispensibility is not a given in this world, so i dont think anyone needs to panic here.

I don't see much trouble for the Ethereum, if Buterin leaves the project. I think he already gave the project everything he could and the Ethereum has an excellent team of developers who are in the project from the very beginning.

If this really happens, this may affect the price of ETH! I think Vitalik will not leave! This is a team he has worked so hard to create! Shouldn't give up easily! I don't think it will happen!

if if Vitalik leave Ethereum, i think Ethereum will still working just fine.
Cause something that already has a good foundation, would budge when it it got hit with a wave.

Other co-founders may left Ethereum already, but Vitalik is much different. He is the soul of Ethereum, I think.
Nothing can live & get better without its soul!!

If Vitalik Buterin really quits Ethereum project, I might sell out all my ETH and looking for another coins (maybe NEO or others)

I do not think that he will leave ETH so much effort was invested in this difficult matter. But if it does happen, then it seems to me that ETH and some altcoins will drop significantly in price.

Is there really such news? I do not think Vitalik will leave ETH. But there are also some cases of coin pumb being left by the Dev team. So if that happens do not think too negatively :)

This news is never true. Vitalik Buterin has worked very hard for Ethereum.
Good times are very close and Buterin deserves to see this. Buterin won't give up Ethereum  :)

Where is the source that he said he will leave ethereum? If its true of course this will affect the price of ethereum for short term. But always remember that demand will give the value of that coin. It will increase even without vitalik with it as long as there are demand .

tweets about Vilatik Buterin may quit from Ethereum project are FUD, a few days ago he made a tweet about job offers from Google but do you think he will accept it? quit the big project just to be an employee?  :D

I have not read about these rumors. But if it happens, the price will definitely go down for a while. Since Vitalik is still the face of the company.
Now American regulators are trying to impute him big fines and sanctions, so he can formally leave the project. But in reality, still continue to participate in the development. Completely Ether cannot disappear, even if it loses its leader. Too many projects depend on Ether, too complex web intertwines these all interrelated relationships of projects, miners & investors.

Is it definite to leave? Nobody leaves such a valuable project. I would do the best I can to get rid of this richness and improve to the contrary.

Vilatik Buterin, as the creator of Ethereum, will always be associated with it. But Ethereum today has its own fund and a large self-sufficient development team and is developing independently, without the direct involvement of Vilatik Buterin. Therefore, I believe that his departure from Ethereum will not lead to the degradation of Ethereum and a strong reduction in prices, although it is likely that some people will not understand the situation and start selling their savings, thereby pushing the price down.
