Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin said he was not going to leave the project in the near future, and the community misinterpreted his recent tweet that the platform could survive in case of his unexpected departure.

Good to hear that. Because there's a lot of news going around speculating what would happen if Vitalik leaves Ethereum. At least he confirms it and now those speculators will be quiet because they're putting a lot of spin on it even saying that Ethereum will suddenly die as well when Vitalik goes out.

This is very good news, because so many people began to seriously worry after Vitalik's recent comments!

Now this makes sense. Etherum is the second biggest cryptocurrency in the world. Why would he want to leave this at first place?

This happened in so many times when the haters are creating their own interprete about vitalik's tweet. These haters are so blindly because they don't even understand about the meaning of vitalik's tweet dude. in fact that vitalik will always stay in ethereum for long term development progress.

I have guessed it, I don't think Vitalik Buterin will leave Ethereum project very soon. There are many plans to improve Ethereum, and it will be unfortunate if a person like Vitalik decide to leave Ethereum. The project without the leader will be unstable, it can be very bad for Ethereum if it happens. Now, It is clearly answered that it is only a rumor.    

This is positive news indeed and only proves the point of people shouldn't jump to conclusions regarding huge changes without first clarifying the source of the information is legit or not, but at the same time let's see what happens before jumping the gun on this as well.

There has been a lot of FUD recently regarding Ethereum, i.e. Vitalik Buterin leaving Ethereum and Vitalik Buterin says the death of Ethereum is imminent.
People not looking for the actual source but citing FUD articles in panic. But what everyone should realize is even if both of the above statement were true, that would not have any large effect on Ethereum. It does not depend on a single person or how a single person thinks.

It's a very good news.At least he confirms it and now those speculators will be quiet because they're putting a lot of spin on it.So many people began to seriously worry about Ethereum.

I am already tired of seeing the speculation in the media on behalf of the vitali that he leaves the ethereum. in a day this is all refuted and all this is done to ensure that the price of ethereum falls

this is what we should have expected - this is a market for speculations and the media, and you don’t need to trust the media

I've heard the rumors that Vitalik will leave the Ethereum project. But I didn't think it was real. We are at a time when so many speculative discourses are spreading.

I don't even understand what Vitalik thinks. Before, I heard that Vitalik will leave Ethereum, and it also said that the cryptocurrency is close to the ceiling, but now Vitalik said that he will not leave Ethereum.
I am not sure there may be fake news, but Vitalik has not clarified anything. If these news are all true, so Vitalik is really a contradiction.

Vitalik had always had plans for leaving Ethereum behind and he has never been shy in showing the truth of that publicly but some people choose to close their eyes on it and not see how he has always been only making money and building a developer's history for himself to be hired later on and have a solid job with the government or banks which he is already lobbying with.

It is highly predictable that Buterin will not leave such successful project. Especially that we know that he has a big amount of Ether and if it will leave, his capital will decrease because of decreasing of value of Ether.

The recent rumors are very numerous. But I think he even left the Ethereum . The Ethereum will also survive. BTC has lived for 10 years without Satoshi Nakamoto. So don't worry.

Of course not, but anyway he would not say anything bad about ethereum and going away would be something really bad for the chain. If he does it will be by surprise and to move into something else.

Yeah, I have the same opinion. I think this is just a rumor, it's because he writes a post in his twitter, right? Then many rumors are appearing after that, but I don't think he will leave Ethereum. Let's wait for good news about Ethereum, so the ETH price can rise again.

The news is neutral, because the project as a whole is already living on its own, there are a lot of developers who would like to take part in the project and in development, so I probably wouldn’t get very upset.

many people misinterpreted what Vitalik said, from the beginning I was convinced that Vitalik would not leave Ethereum, and it was true, it was impossible that Vitalik would leave the project that had raised his name, Vitalik would certainly continue to develop his project, so that Ethereum could continue to compete

Everyone can twist a news or what you said on social media which will be used against you to lessen your credibility. Vitalik is a well known personality and we all know that every altcoins are trying their best to replace ETH. I strongly believe that Vitalik will never leave ETH community behind and I just read that they are currently building ETH 2.0.

I also believe that Vitalik Buterin will not going to leave ethereum community actually, this is a good news nice to hear that.  Yes it's true they currently build an improvement for the community.

I don't think that's good. This is very similar to how Elon Musk recently announced a possible share buyback affecting the price. I think people with a lot of influence should be more thoughtful about their statements.

He can leave anytime if he wants to but I think he's an honorable man. He'll make sure that the platform is well developed and that there is someone from  the team who can lead without him.

I'm really glad to know it. Who know what could happen with Ethereum without its developer? I think it will have a bad effect on its price.

so much ethereum yet to achieve, i dont think he will give up on it. unless he do something stupid and get kick out of game. Like Steve Jobs in case.

Ethereum is definitely a better cryptocurrency than all of the rest. It has more room to grow and a great development team. Although it has been developed so much over the years I believe that it can be developed more and increase its efficiency.
Vitalik is a knowledgeable person and he will surely not leave Ethereum for any reason. Even if he does so in the future, he will still be there in case of any issues with Ethereum. I like his principle that a coin should be left on it's own to grow naturally.

If the inventor himself said that, who are we to oppose. But as it's business, nothing can be declared for sure, may be it could rise from the ash like a phoenix bird.

I’m very happy about these things, it’s okay that all this was false information about Buterin’s leaving! This information was already on everyone’s ears, the hypotheses of the existence of Ethereum were so different!

Good to hear that!  Vitalik buterin has a great mind and staying in ethereum developments will surely boosts confidence for all ethereum users.  I believe the dev team can come up with innovative features that would push ethereum far ahead of other competitors.

This person have all he need to make Ethereum survive, never lost faith with him. We don't know how he do that but with his track record I believe Ethereum will become more powerful and create more audiences to support. For this one I'll keep use Ethereum to make money and built my business.

Would you leave your successful company? Initially it was clear that he was not going to leave the Ethereum project. After rumors spread that he was sick and what would happen in the event of his death. In general, Vitalik will be at the helm for a long time.

Well certainly. The recent news of his departure from Ethereum did not affect the price of the asset. I think that was the main reason for the news. Later, he announced that he did not intend to leave the project to reassure the holders and preserve the reputation of Vitalik Buterin. That's almost good news.

I am glad to hear this, because it seems to me that precisely because of the rumors that Buterin is leaving his ethereum project, this coin began to fall in price. If he previously simply expressed confidence that this coin will develop without him, then it is also good to hear. Now we can safely say that ethereum will grow in popularity. We look forward to introducing Casper and Plasma projects into this coin, as well as ethereum scalability up to hundreds of thousands of transactions per second.

How about a damn fucking source to this? You can't just come out and quote things without listing a source. Recently Vitalik said that he is considering leaving Ethereum, so until you prove otherwise that is still the case.

People like you annoy me.

Absolutely Ethereum can continue without Vitalik and i support the idea that these coins/companies should not be tagged with a specific person, these are supported by global investors sothese companies should be truly decentralized and autonomous.

I noticed that on the forum bitcointalk already very often spread false information. I remember everything with you agree on the sources of information, because any information requires confirmation, otherwise it should be considered false.

I'm very happy to hear that.. Vitalic Buterin is one of most imporant personalities in crypto and if he would leave Ethereum this coin will have a deep loss for sure for long time.

Why would he leave? Ethereum and Buterin are worthwhile together. All he has to do is trust the community and develop Ethereum.

I also thought, he was exiting or maybe working on next big thing. But to be fair, the guy is very talented. And he can't possibly stick with ETH forever. He will ultimatelly go for another project and I guess if I were in his place, I'd done the same.

But if he stays with ETH, or even just pretends; then it will be good for all ETH users and even crypto world in general.

I immediately thought that it was just a fake news that Vitalik Buterin plans to leave ethereum.
Good that now the confirmation comes.
He would certainly have been a loss to ethereum.

Most of those people that saw his tweet actually misinterpreted him. Buterin has done a lot of technical work on ethereum project development and he can't just make such statement that he can leave the project unexpectedly.

I can tell you this: Those people who follow the latest news in the world of crypto currency should know such important news, and not be annoyed by trifles, which they unfortunately do not know!!!!

He got personal problem aswell, thinking that vitalik will always stick to ethereum is just so wrong on many level also, why people thinking that ethereum will be dead just because vitalik is leaving meanwhile ethereum from the beginning was meant to be decentralized meaning no one owns it but the community.

I can't believe people are still caring about whether Vitalik stays or not.

We haven't heard about Satoshi for years now and last we heard was when he said he wasn't someone, aside from that it has been god knows how long last we heard about what happened to Satoshi at all and we still here worrying about if Vitalik will leave ethereum or not. What happens if he leaves ?

Nothing should change, ethereum is a great coin by itself and by decentralized logic we should not care if Vitalik stays or not, he doesn't own ethereum like a company or something, he is just another part of the chain and if he leaves he leaves.

Well, this is also great news, because today Vitaly Buterin is the face of the Ethereum Foundation, it seems to me that if Vitalik and his style of communication didn’t work, this project and, of course, his dad played an important role.

Amazing news! Ethereum is one of the most perspective altcoins on the market. Community is using Ethereum for payments and ICOs are collecting their funds mostly with Ethereum. A lot of them are also using Ethereum blockchain for their products!

ethereum is indeed experiencing a lot of problems and is very natural if many people are worried if buterin leave ethereum. but we must know that ethereum also has other developers who have contributed greatly to the growth of ethereum and ethereum also supported by many great projects, namely erc20.

Vitalik Buterin is a very intelligent man and I think he is manipulating the market with these news. It's affecting the market even when it's not his goal.

So this news could bring the Ethereums price down? Isn't it something like a manipulation? If it is then we need to go with the flow. Everytime there is a drop I think buying some will makes any sense. So now Vitalik clearly say it with his own words that investors, enthusiasts and the community has nothing to worry about that issue and Ethereum will be doing great from now onwards.

This is very good news but it is strange that it is not displayed on the price ! And there was more news about the scaling of Ethereum. Need to wait guys.

Look like someone want to make ethereum price to drop. Doesnt it look like manipulation to you all. They want to create a panic sell about something that not very clear. I would make this as opportunities to buy more ethereum as it look like gonna be cheap. Hope this will end soon so we can enjoy the bull that might be coming soon.

In general, Vitalik behaves rather strangely, it feels like he is being paid for negative tweets, because in fact this is the figure that can affect the price of Ethereum, which means you can manipulate the market with this. How much Vitalik is honest with us ?

Do you think someone out there dumped his ETH tokens just as he read the news about vitalik leaving? lol I can't imagine this world to be this easy to manipulate with such rumors. I I only have the ability to become an crypto influencer then probably I can make money by just doing so. Spread rumors, buy the tokens and then spread good news again. Do you think they are doing this?

Leaving Vitalik Buterin was fake news for dumping eth price and buy some coins.
This market very your before, if this kind of news make moneys

i am happy to read those message from Vitalik.
well, i know since at the start that Buterin will never leave ETHEREUM and the team.
They have a good product and project. they need to make it better.

This clears many issues,specially those who says that vitalik buterin abandoned ethereum things that drives some investors away and withdrawing their support and investment in ethereum platforms

I wish to see some good growth about ethereum again as i doubt the capacity of this coin if vitalik truly leaves the platform

Vitalik loves the strange seamless conversations that manipulating the market) When he starts to talk price starts changing) IMHO he would never leave eth) This is his child)

Thats mean vitalik buterin never sold all his ethereum, until ethereum is number one cryptocurrency in this world

Ethereum will survive without Vitalik, it has a strong and caliber team working behind this project. However, in investment side it's better that he stays to shut down all the rumor and prevent FUD.  Good news then, that is why we have 5% increase this few days. 

This is good news, but I do not think that this may affect the growth of the ETH price in such market conditions, moreover, recently there have been many FUDs associated with Buterin and Ethereum.

This is not the first time that Vitalik Buterin have first comment false about leaving ETH or cryptocurrency and when the coin price is corrected , he immediately comes and message of that the news was false and price increase. This is the way he is manipulating the ETH price.

I think he has big plans for the future.  It was a black PR.  This is done by many famous personalities.  Many have made wrong conclusions and ETH will show growth in the future.

Vitaly is right that even if it will take Etherium will be able to live without it. But of course with him will develop the project faster, as it is the face of this project.

the issue about Vitalik has spread, but we all have to be calm, I think Vitalik has a choice, whatever haunts his sleep. Vitalik will leave the platform

I don't understand why people want him out so early. Most prominent coin developers are still very much around so why is his case different?
His critics always point to Satoshi leaving Bitcoin... they do not tell us his leaving was matter of circumstances...am not sure if that was the best thing for Bitcoin as there are things he left undone. Though he has excellent successors, things would have been much better if his vision for Bitcoin was fully implemented before leaving.

Ethereum is still under development. Same thing could happen if Vitalik leaves too early. He has good vision for decentralizing most aspects of Ethereum.

Those that misinterpreted what Vitalik said and sold their holding out of panic are now regretting. We are at the moment were people interpret any information that come into the cryptocurrencies market in many different ways and that sharp some traders investments decisions. Vitalik has clear what he really means and him living Ethereum projects should not be reason why it should dump!

This has a big impact on ethereum price if the founder really leaves it, only rumors of ethereum have fallen deeply, if the news of the departure is true, what is ethereum future fate

That is really really good news. We need to vitalik and vitaliks vision on ethereum.. Yeah i really happy to read that. Thank you for sharing that mate :=).

A source of this info world have been better. Although, it's a very good one, as against the notion of so many or should i say the fake news and misinterpretation being peddled on social media. I also thought a much when i when people were spreading fake news hat Buterin will be leaving ethereum. This even recently lead to a dump in the price of ethereum. This could be the scheme of those who want to taje advantage of those who panic easily and as a result, dump all that they have.

That is nice to hear, but it would be great if he did not sold his holdings for Ethereum. But I guess it is still good because he will not leave his project behind.

Anyway, people will doubt any news, it's in human nature. However, Buterin is honest and straightforward what concerns his plans and ideas, so I don't think we should interpret it as sth complicated and ambiguous. He will keep his word, no doubt!

Vitalik is father of Ethereum, so why he should leave project? Sure that he have a lot of great ideas and he can realize all them. Also i sure that Eth will stay the crypto silver and we will see a huge price growing soon.

To be honest I think Vitalik will never leave the Ethereum project because it is still very profitable for developers team. And Vitalik is face of Ethereum and he knows it if he will leave Ethereum potentially would loose a lot of his value and everyone in the team understand this well.

Tell friends, where can V. Buterin go? To another planet? So on other planets there is no Internet. He will be faithful to his ethereum.

It's great that he's still committed to the project. I think it'd be just fine if he left though. The price would probably tank for a while.

The news is actually very good.  Of course, I believe that Ethereum can survive without Buterin, but I don’t want to check it out!

Leaving wwill not change a lot because ETH is quite independent coin that is able to improvewith its own strengths and chances. I am sure that it will live.

And it is not surprising news at all. He is the main supporter of this coin and what is more the community behind this project is promising as well, so the risk is lowest.

Well, I do not believe such statements just because everything in cryptocurrency world is changing very fast. In our days, we cannot make any kind of statement for sure.

It is pretty strong statemet. I had even heard several rumors about possible death of Vitalik, because some of ETH investors can go really mad and make something extremely stupid.

Vitalin is preparing a new update from the Ethereum network and I think that he will not leave his unique coin in difficult times for the market.

His tweet shows confidence in the future of his project. And this gives rise to the hope that the upcoming update will breathe new life into the project. On the contrary, we should be glad that Vitalik accepted his mistakes and put all efforts to prevent them. I hope for a bright future Ethereum.

That's great. He became famous in crypto due to his creation which is "Ethereum." There's no point for him to leave it. He also made millions of dollars from it. Ethereum was created by him, along with a team of expert, I think that is what he meant by his tweet. He didn't create ethereum by his own.

I think so too. The project has a huge team that is working on improvement and development. Because with the departure of Vitalik little will change. Most likely this is what he wanted to say

I think the same as you, Vitalik can’t be the only developer who can code ETH. There must be a team of people working. My boss ever tell me, there is no individual that the company cannot live without. The company will continue to operate even if anyone leave.

We need to undestand that officials in cryptocurrency world are the same responsible for every their word, just as top-executetives of different companies.

Vitalik cannot leave his project if in the future he leaves it will have a very bad effect on the price of ethereum. The entire project rests only on the founder Vitalik Buterin. 

Surely this is not worth talking about. Remember the news that Vitali had an accident? Because of this fake news, the ETH has dropped.

Vitalik is playing around with his tweet and putting some tensions to some FUDders and speculators of what would happen if he left the project but i believe that he will stay Ethereum as long as he could make a lot of contributions with his project and this is the second largest crypto and the mother of all ICO token, so there is a great future about Ethereum.

I consider that it is very good news for all the ETH holders, because I had came across various rumors regarding the future of platform and it will give some stability.
