Vitalik Buterin and his colleagues make a high-quality product, in one of the interviews the phrase slipped: "Ethereum is good, but because Vitalik Buterin is involved". What do you think: can Vitaclik be like cryptocurrency Jobs? What if he leaves? What would happen to Ethreum? Or only teamwork is important for a good crypto?

Ether has a very good prospect though the present value may not be a very good one compared to what it use to be but still there is a whole lot of great value ahead of the ethereum in the nearest future so don't let us give up.

If that happened, the Ethereum project would weaken since it's strongly linked to the figure of its founder. If he suddenly left it would be a shock to the Ethereum community.

I think that if Vitalik Buterin leaves the team of ethereum network that network and coins will suffer heavy losses. Now generally people trust in a coin only because there is Vitalik.

I don't think ETH has bad situation like at the moment just because of Vitalik :). I think if Vitalik weren't exist so how about ETH? Vitalik created ETH which known as the best altcoin and I don't think ETH will be worse because of Vitalik, as I know he's trying to improve ETH and make it become much better than before :).

if etherum is abandoned by its founders but its community is still solid then etherum will continue to grow without its founders, etherum is a big coin under btc he will be strong forever, as we know about bitcoin so far, bitcoin is developing without the actual founder but bitcoin is not losing community and price

ETh is now at good stage. I can't see he will left the ETH alone but yeah sure teamwork important now. It will not make ETH just nothing if he even left. Already ETH has the good community support and good team also who can deliver more valuable product in the future. 

Teamwork and also have a goal to that project is the most important things to make it successful, because as I can see now there are many projects that are failed because they want money only not the services of that project.

Ethereum has a strong community, plus it has earned the trust of the crypto community over time. I doubt that something bad would happen if the leading figure behind this coin could would siddenly leave. If anything, prices could go down for a bit as panic sellers and newbies would be caught off guard and might think that Vitalik leaving ETH means the end of the coin, but it'll recover as long as the community supports the coin.

Yes, teamwork really is an important tool of making sure that the project is in good hands and it will look unto  many people that Ethereum is worth investing in.

I think this coin will soon recover and that is why I see many people are choosing ETH to buy now, the value they are currently recovering and that is the result that we see them quite. popular...

Well, for now, ethereum is in an unpleasant condition. But if a solid team works with professionals, it will still produce more brilliant achievements. Ethereum is already alive, so in my opinion there is no reason for ethereum to fade. The ethereum community will stay with the situation. 8)

 he is a point of centralization, but if Vitalik got hit by a bus and disappeared, would Ethereum go away? No, I mean it would get cut in half in price for a month or so but Vitalik doesn’t run Ethereum, he doesn’t control it. He’s just a major influence, and he’s a brilliant person. So, Ethereum is better because he’s involved.”

I tihnk that Vitalik won't leave anytime soon, because he is the frontman of Ethereum. But if he would, I think that team would do just fine. Question is, where would that lead the community, would they trust in ETH or would they go where Vitalik would go.

For me, in 2018, not only ETH is difficult but all pennies are in extremely difficult times, so I think we keep on expecting, in 2019, that ETH will increase. a lot of

They are fueling up the blockchain and smart contract. I think we are on Euphoric stage soon. Coz the market is going to make a history very soon.

If talking about my Ethereum thought that this coin is Altcoin with the most high prices followed developments that continue to rise.
so I think by having more Ethereum more profitable and will be the main advantage of value.

There was a lot of experts in ethereum platform and it's not only vitalik, alex van de sande and many more. If you are thinking the ethereum platform gets concentrated on the vitalik and you are very wrong about that. There was a big profesional team behind ethereum platform and that's it.

Ethereum is the next Altcoin of the Bitcoin development that has continued to rise and the price kept high.
with its ability to continue to evolve will be increasingly able to carry it into coins that are so valuable.

Blockchain has a big potential but the coin seems to be sleepy.

Even while it is 200 dollars and dropped maybe 7 times lower than its all time high and not even making decent profits for the miners the blockchain technology is still getting funded by the VC capital firms to the companies that uses ethereum blockchain for some software products.

It doesn't matter how little or high you think ethereum will go but one thing is for sure, ethereum blockchain will be really big in the future with those types of funding. If the blockchain is going to be really used everywhere than I am pretty sure the coin will be really valuable too.

Considering the VC fund spent on it plus the miners taking back and the ICO's eventually will come back, I am pretty sure ethereum has a shot of being clear second coin again.

Without Vitalik, Ethereum would be undoubtedly weaker, he created the currency and is the genius behind a lot of the development. ETH is not good enough yet to stand still because many other projects are coming after its market share, ETH 2.0 is meant to be coming soon and that could really cement ETH as the crypto for the future.

And what can I say, I believe that this project today has great support from the community as well as global investors, because many investors today understand that the ETH platform has significant opportunities for project placement.

But I read an article from him, he said that if he left ETH, ETH would not be affected and it would continue to grow stronger than before. And I want him to leave ETH to see what he says is right or wrong

I think vitalik is at the moment important for ethereum, but this will not stay for ever. If ethereum became stronger, vitaliks roll in the project will become smaller and smaller. At some point it will not matter if vitalik is still working on the project, when ethereum has become strong enough.

Ethereum is a good project concept in the blockchain technonology world, with its ERC20 smart contract capabilities the project has come to stay, I think no one person absence can stop the operations of the Ethereum blockchain because it has an open source program.

For me, Etherum remains one of the main choices in the digital currency system. Etherum has very good strength because it has a level of popularity and has a very good level of trust.

Etherum's condition is currently in a bad position, but this only lasts a moment and I am very confident that there will be a change towards a much better direction.

We are in the current position of continuing to try to choose the best and I am sure that Etherum will remain the best altcoin, at least for the next 3 years. Maybe in the future everything can change, once again that nothing can be predicted in the world of digital currency because all the impossible things can become a reality.

I think eth has grown into a big enterprise already and even if someone quits it will not have any negative effect on the project, after the news some may panic sell dumping the value but the price will be back quickly, that is exactly how all these decentralized projects should work and develop, these projects only depend on the group of developers working behind the scenes.

I think that if Buterin leaves the ethereum, this coin will always always come first, because the project team is very strong and knows its business, we don’t need to be bothered

If he leave then its okay, ethereum still has its own co-founder and can continue with the beginning that it started.

Perfect example is bitcoin. We don't know where satoshi nakamoto is but there are still developers out there willing to continue and fix some issues with it.

I think here not only the merit of Vitalik, but the whole team. Without a good team there would probably be no success in the project, as it is now. If he leaves, probably nothing will change much.

Ethereum is a really good platform, and - even if it is going through a difficult time (like the whole crypto sector, after all) there is a good chance that it will go back to racing. Maybe more stable and less volatile.

I wonder, what is now engaged Buterin Vitali? What is new going on in Ethereum? I believe that he will show himself.

if the product is good, then everything depends on how it will select the leadership of a friend of the media person, as we remember, Apple has not lost its position

Ethereum is used as a blockchain platform for 85% of all ICOs in the world. In January, the network of the Ethereum will switch to a new protocol, which will significantly increase its attractiveness. I think that the growth of Ether will begin in 2019 after a successful update.

Today, ETH is good, but in the future, we don't know whether ETH will be able to maintain its popularity.

in 2016, the DAO attack incident stated that ETH was not a decentralized system anymore, and finally, 11.5 million Ether was hacked.

I think, if vitalik go leaves ETH, the Ether market volatility is held entirely by investors, traders, speculators, and bitcoin growth activities.

I not absolutely understand why was to release ETH 2.0 Why was not to improve already available coin? Now what turns out at release of new ETH old will begin to become cheaper. All investments will begin to flow in a new coin. If there will be a lot of persons interested, then the price of a coin will very strongly grow.

I also think that this will greatly affect the cost of ethereum. But Vitalik will not leave him just like that. I think that even if he does, he will leave behind a worthy replacement. However, it would still be a big blow to the crypto community.

Ethereum isn't bad. Its good and used now for almost 80% of ICO project. Its a good coin and I know from time to time, the coin will rise.

I think we need to stop thinking of Vitalik leaving ethereum, because that is not going to happen.
So the assumption is just an instrument used by whales to manipulate the market.

When an important figure in the coins goes it will lead to the weakening of the coin. of course, this is because they lost the attraction also because of its position behind a coin. Vitali has the central role which is quite important in the ethereum. what he and the team are working on can make the ethereum of today and it really has a great influence.

Ethereum once created glory, but now it is low, but I still think it is not its original added value. When more governments rely on it to issue stable coins, their value will rise. But now investors must wait patiently.

I think Ethereum is one of the best projects out there. It's such a great innovation that most people still haven't understood it :D

Don't look at it short-term. Yes ETH price might have dumped but so all the other coins as well. I think a great future lies ahead for ETH and lots of devs are working on providing this.

Currently, interest in Ethereum falls along with a fall in interest in ICO projects conducted on the Ethereum platform. If this trend continues, then ethereum may continue to be unstable.

I think ethereum is the top 2 project on which the crypto market holds, no matter what haters and weak spirits say, the ethereum will endure everything as it has always stood, it will remain on the market until the very end, I'm sure of that.

Let us turn the mirror from original place to another in order to see the another beautiful views. Ethereum is the highness of crypto if that will be. Every possibilities could be in ethereum as the only one crypto. One coin rules in crypto society.

Ethereum was born not just because of Vitalik's sole effort. It was created by a team, so, if ever Vitalik would leave, the team can still continue to progress on their product.

Eth is one of the important coin in crypto and it's really a stable coin. But it's current price is not up to the mark. Many holders are holding their Eth and waiting for a good pump. I think Eth will be increase in the near future.

Are you referring to Apple's Steve Jobs here? If so, then yeah he could be but not in the near future. Ethereum is still at a crucial stage of development so Vitalik still plays a crucial role. If Ethereum 2.0 turns out to be a monumental success, then maybe he can leave.

Ethereum it`s a very good project. What about Buterin - he is a genius and has behind a lot of developing of this project. I think without Vitalik Ethereum definitely will be weaker, but Vitalik doesn`t want to leave a project.

He cannot go around saying that he is the only reason why ETH is successful. That would sound conceited and be de-motivational for any others involved with ETH. Not to mention it would cause investor uncertainty around the future of ETH. All that he said is common business sense, he would have to say it if he believed it or not.

Etheruem project has a very strong community backing and it has earned the trust of many in the industry. The platform also has a solid usecase and we have witnessed that by seeing thousands of blockchain startups building their platform on Ethereum network.

A very good coin, really there is no other coin that I would rather put my money into right now, even if the coin is down so much there is so much potential for the coin. You don't have to worry about the coin getting delisted and not being worth anything in the long run because you can be sure that the coin is going to do good and you are going to make money from it

Why do even he leave ETH? It's not a logic. They are planning of ETH 2.0 and there was an announcement on it too. So, we can hope betterment of ETH will come soon once the bearish days stop. Anyway, if Vitalik leaves, ETH will be a shitcoin instantly.

Ethereum is a good project and I believe in coming years, the utility of the platform will drive the price up and even if the founder leaves the project will still go on because one person doesn't make a team.

Ethereum is good, because the majority of the crypto community is using it for payments and ICO contribution. It means, that Ethereum is used by everybody. Moreover more than a half of all projects are using ERC-20 token standards.

Vitalik Buterin is undoubtedly good. But I think even if he leaves eth, the team will continue to work on the project. Even now, eth in its blockchain form is very good, even though it has many competitors like eos, ada, neo, and so on. None of the blockchain can compare with him.

Here is good interview with Vitalik, explaining can be ETH succeed without him or not:
 
https://www.technologyreview.com/s/612372/ethereums-founder-vitalik-buterin-says-his-creation-cant-succeed-unless-he-takes-a-step/

I have been following bitcoin and invested in it since 2013 Ethereum internal cryptocurrency, one of the few contenders perceived as a viable alternative to bitcoin.

The price was very dropped. Unfortunately. no one would wait for it to happen. surprised everyone. Our dreams were seeing $ 1000 again, but now it's impossible. 300 dollars would be even better as the price in this market.

Ethereum is a great coin that is going to show its potential during the next bull run. Coin is awesome, devs are doing a great job and releasing the next update. Marketing team is also doing good. What do you need more?

Eth market will be affected if Vitalik Buterin leaves but he has teammates who are going to take control of Eth's development.

But he is smart enough to leave ethereum. Though it was said that already sold 25% of his holdings on early days, this man is very passionate and dedicated to the project.

I think its was threaten before that somethings will happen if Vitalik Buterin will leave ethereum, I don't know if its fud or not but it was not happen anyway, we know eth is a very popular altcoins and I think the team behind it will not make any mistakes that will cause to its fall.

ETH is one of the best cryptos I have ever seen but looking at its current price and market cap I think its quite shocking. I know it has a long way to go to overtake XRP again but I think ETH is still great.

Yes . I agree that Vitali plays a central role in ethereum. What he and the team are doing can make ethereum today and it really has great influence. For me, Etherum is still one of the primary choices in digital currency systems. Etherum has very good power as it has a high level of popularity and has a very good level of trust

Now even though ethereum prices have decreased, they are actually good enough to be able to start investing. because now we can get many advantages to being able to invest in ethereum

I believe Ethereum will be great again. I know the bear market has started making some people to have negative feel about the entire cruptocurrency. but everything will be alight soon.

it's nice to know we have brain like his, i mean, that means human race keep evolving. but my dear, why should Vitalik drop eth? what can possibly make him? and i huess those around him have good skills too

If he leaves I think ethereum still running and will not down just because of that, many people using ethereum still popular cryptocurrency so it's a good coin for me.

Ether has a very good prospect potentials and values as well it has ben the best so far this year despite whatsoever it has been through but honestly ether is very good all round and every corner

There is nothing will definitely happened with ethereum without Vitalik. ETH is not only one Vitalik but its a very big ecosystem which can work without one person. Apple is an example

For me ETH is still one of the best crypto. ETH has given me a lot of profit in investing.

Vitalik already spent too much time and effort to develop Ethereum. Most of us know that he always thinks of a solution to improve its blockchain to process faster and cheaper transactions, protect those investors from ICO using ethereum blockchain and always concern with cryptocurrency's future. If Vitalik will leave the team, I am very sure that ETH will slide down because of its supporters disappointment. Well, I could say that it will never happen because of the good things I mentioned about Vitalik.

I feel that ethereum is in the saturation period experienced by investors, so we see the price drops very drastically because there is no positive event that eth will do in the future, investors are already saturated waiting and lots of eth sell action

I do not have bad thoughts on this project, because I think that in general this project has the same great chances for a global monopoly, because ETH today is truly the most wonderful platform.

Vitalik Buterin has repeatedly said that even if he decides to leave the project, Ethereum will be able to exist without him.  The Ethereum community is huge, it has a lot of devs around the world, so in case of successful execution of all planned events, Buterin's presence isn't so important. Although, of course, this will be sad news and may negatively affect coin rate in the short term.

I think ethereum has a big potential in the upcoming years if it keeps up the "corporate use" aspect up. The ethereum blockchain is used by ICO's that wants to spread their tokens, it is used by corporation that does blockchain softwares like certificates and insurances and many other stuff, it is used by gaming companies and all that, now it is used by governements to keep track of identification and what not.

Right now, ethereum is getting lower and lower every day but I still think it has nothing to do with Ethereum, it is a great concept and amazing execution of an idea but right now markets are bleeding so it is low. I feel like anyone who invests heavily into ethereum these days will be incredibly rich in couple of years. There is no reason for ethereum to stay around here, it has too much usage and too much demand to stay at these levels.

I try to buy more ETH because I'm sure that this project will restore own positions. But today this unpredictable falling looks so sad. That's why I read more and more about ETH and it development. As I heard Plasma is ready and PoS is not so far. And this is good

Yes it will be very bad because ethereum holders really love vitalik and his robotic behaviours. Without vitalik ether will be get rekt . Even with Vitalik we can see the ethereums price because of bear market. Lets think if vitalik left ethereum alone .. That will be the end of eth.

Since he is the founder I think the success of the ethereum is deeply rooted in in and if he decide to take a walk from the project then that will be the beginning of the end of ethereum, and that is what it with a centralized token their are always rooted with the developer's, the entire ethereum can not survive without vitalik.

Eth very strong coin and have good team developers , i think eth price will be growing a near future , probably in january if will be update.

Ether still took a good turn. Growth him accurately secured by. New technologies in cryptocurrency undoubtedly made one of the top altcoins in the ranking.

I think that the broadcast continues to remain one of the most promising currencies on the market. Just now in the market such conditions that we are in a bearish trend. But after changing the situation, the broadcast will be one of the best currencies.

I think that even if Vitaly leaves his project, which is extremely unlikely, Ethereum will still develop at the same pace, as I believe that one Vitalik solves little.

Me, Since ether is coin that will not turn out to be scams and have become alternative payment tools after bitcoin, it doesn't matter if the price drops now. We can have some cheap coins to save until the price rises later. Just a reminder, in the past the price of ether was even worse than now.

I think it is undervaluated at the moment.
I believe price is too low now, so probably in future situation will be changed significantly.

ETH will still show its strength. And so, in principle, his technology I like. Great help in the market of altcoins.

This question has been discussed many times. It is impossible to deny the fact that Buterin is a great talent and a very influential person in the cryptocurrency industry, but the Ethereum project is not only Vitalik, so I believe that despite everything, the Ethereum project will develop and remain an important element in the crypto industry .

I believe that the decline in the price of Ethereum is a temporary phenomenon, Ethereum will soon have a hard fork and in the near future the development team will launch a faster network for the transaction !

Do not forget that time does not stand still. And it would be foolish to rely only on eth.

In addition to Vitalik, there are other developers in the team. Yes, of course if the acne is gone, Eth will fall in price. But if the team solves all the problems of the Eth network and moves on, the price will not only return, but will quickly go up.

actually now Ethereum is very bad indeed. but even though Ethereum is now down to number 3 on the market, that doesn't mean Ethereum is a bad coin. I am sure if Ethereum will show his strength next year. I still see a lot of potential to be able to get up, one of which is the trust of the fans and it's more than enough to make Ether rise

It seems to me that ripple skipped higher than eth just because of its stability. and yet it is used more for translations. Which is exactly what people need.

Quite a strong project from a technical point of view, but it was so at the end of 2017, now it is not different than something revolutionary.

The revolutionary projects that made a lot of noise in 2018 actually turned out to be much worse than ETH)

Etherium is huge and great project, I think it couldnt dissappear ever, also everything is tradeble in ETH, the most of transactions on eth

Perhaps now the most attractive price for the Ethereum and we will not see such a price in the future. The team is working, maybe not as fast as many would like. I consider Ethereum to be the most successful coin, after bitcoin of course.

If we can make an observation, it's price fluctuation is parallel to BTC. So, the problem is that whatever major changes happen to BTC will always reflect to ETH. Everything is always connected and this is how the crypto space works. We should also look for the downside so that we won't be merely affected especially about our emotions.

I just hold my ether, I even do no try to trade. Just hold and do other things. Best solution now:)

Ethereum is a good platform and there is no doubt about it but there is always a weakness for every good platform and i think they should address the issue before it will be blown out of proportion. Seems like there is a feud going on with the devs of ethereum and the platform is affected heavily. 

Ethereum has managed to become one of the largest cryptocurrencies in the world. That will not change that fast. A large part of the current cryptocurrencies depends on Ethereum and builds on its platform. Unfortunately, Vitalik Buterin recently announced that it would be leaving ETH. He said that it will have a positive impact on Ethereum, I hope he is right with his statement.

Just Hodl, guys

Ethereum is a very great coin and has got potentials so much that despite what ever that is currently happening to ethereum seems less of concern to me cause u have a large believe that ethereum will regain back its position

Not everything depends on Vitalik Buterin. There would be less spam and everything would be fine. The prohibition on ICO in China also affected Etherium. Indeed, in this country there was a considerable number of users of the Ether.

I don't have a favorable view of Ether right now. It has lost the no.2 position to the scam coin Ripple and it has fallen below the psychologically significant threshold of BTC0.03 per token. The future doesn't look very bright.

Some investors may disagree with me, but I still want to express my views on Ethereum. I think Ethereum will be less than $500 in the future. No matter how high the bitcoin price rises, Ethereum cannot recover.

This is actually a natural thing when the market is indeed uncertain right now. ethereum prices have declined and experienced a decline in rank 3. but I also appreciate your opinion

ethereum might really fall this year and in the future because the owner of it doesnt seem to know what is happening with his coin

Ether is one type of altcoin that is now more widely known and has a lot of people investing in it, but now its value has dropped dramatically so I think ethereum is now different from the previous ethereum

I think Ethereum will still be alive even if vitalik left it, as long as the system inside Ethereum already been created.
It will be able to keep on going with the support of another team.

It does happen on all coins even on forex, no coin has stable price and thats how it is even in real world. Not because one had its price fall doesn't mean anything bad. Its just some people wants new coin and they think they will profit from it

I think the investors in Ethereum have been saddened to the extreme. The $150 Ethereum is really shocking, but I believe Ethereum will follow the recovery when the cryptocurrency market recovers, but Ethereum will not exceed $500.

Waiting for Bitcoin 1k

I think the price of Ethereum may continue to fall because many of its holders are selling ETH, and many ICO projects will also sell ETHs that have already been raised!

What to do on such market? :)))

I think without him, ETH would still develop normally. If he gives up, there will be more substitutes

I think that it is the founder who is badly influencing his development, the more forks and projects based on it the more the ether will suffer from this. Therefore, you need to invest all power in the development of the parent coin.

Buterin is a key figure in the Ethereum project, his departure will be painful for the team. But I think that ETH will not lose its popularity and demand for a product. Nothing depends on one person.

Vitaly is the face of Etherium is his project, here is useless to argue, it was he who developed the bitcoin and I think Etherium will lose a lot if he wants to leave. But to die completely sure Etherium will not die will recover with time.

If Vitalik Buterin leaves the team, it will be death for ETH, I think this is so, but I think ETH will soon give a big plus, the project is very promising and if he survives after all these falls, he will be much stronger. I believe that Etherium will be on top and time will tell us, but it is not known how long.

Shocking! Ethereum price is shocking price getting dip everyday, vitalik buterin if leave the team ethereum will death totally.

I think that now it is one of the best cryptocurrencies on the market. I am almost 100% sure that Ethereum will become even more popular in the future. Now he is almost at the beginning of his journey

I hope that I will be able to earn a lot on Ethereum and that it will not let me down. Now I'm working hard to achieve this goal and hope that in the end I will succeed. Ethereum should help me.

I think that better days will come.. With cosmopolitan better days will come

Ethereum is an outstanding coin that is unfortunately too undervalued at the moment. In my opinion, Ethereum should worth much more than Bitcoin, because this currency is used by everybody and is used on the regular basis.

Tell me, what to invest now?

I think ethereum no matter what the situation will be extraordinary. Because ethereum is one of the altcoins that I think has an effect on the world of crypto currencies. We can't say no, because this ethereum platform is still very much used by everyone.

I do not think that Buterin can leave. Ethereum is his child, this is the meaning of his life. He is an enthusiast and very dedicated. Ethereum is not exactly a business project. It seems to me that they are interested in the development of blockchain technology.

I think the basis of Ethereum is primarily teamwork, so I think that nothing will happen if it happens that Buterin leaves the project!

I think now that ethereum can't be trusted. in just a few days I've lost my money because I believe in this coin. I'm sure it's not just me who has experienced this. so maybe I will change my investment plan next year, one of which I have is "there will be no ethereum".

Ethereum is Altcoin with the increasing development and very able to reliably. In addition Ethereum became Altcoin with the growth of a great defense and with the large number of supporters who continue to interest against the Ethereum which made the top grade coins.

I heard Vitalik Buterin say that in the near future he and his team will make a very important update of the entire ETH network which will dramatically improve the operation of the entire network. I believe in their project, and I think their token will continue to occupy a leading position among all cryptocurrencies.

So far I really like this coin because with this coin I can save my coins and it's very easy for me to send other alts with the ethereum platform.

I think that of course this is a loss. But the project is already in a hurry. And support is another question. I think it doesn't matter now. And even if ETH leaves him there is an excellent substitute.

I think that the project should think about their future because now there is a great skepticism about the ethereum

Tell me, what to invest now?

Not only good teamwork - definitely. Famous faces and celebrities play a very big role in crypto. Crypto is on hype now, people are watching the market and mostly behave emotionally. So, yeah, Vitalik's leaving will cause a huge dump on ETH market. You can compare ETH and ETC prices now if you want.

I don't believe in Vitalik. I believe in him because of the fact that at its base was written hundreds of successful projects. Which their owners earned good money. If you look and analyze the current situation in the market. You will notice that the stream and bitcoin alive and learned to bend and to be attached to the current course.

It doesnt matter if Vitalik is the leader of Ethereum or not, it is a decentralized super computer and there is no central power, so he is kind of face of Ethereum, nothing else.

Ethereum will exist only when crypto projects are on its platform. I think very little depends on Buterin. It all depends on the crypto market, and new investors, which unfortunately are not there now.

I do not think that Vitaly will leave the project as without it the project will not be able to exist

if the founder leaves the project it really can influence, but all of them are joined by a team and community that can make the project run even though at the time of the founder's departure the project experienced a shock

I think ethereum is one of the best cryptocurrency projects. The platform is already functioning, tokens are being created on it. In the future, the team promises to make the network of the ethereum many times faster.

Just Hold, friends

If Vitaly Buterin for any reason leaves the Ethereum, I think, in the short term the cost of ETH will decrease greatly. However, in the long run, serious shocks will not occur for Ethereum. Ether is already firmly on his feet and is independent from who leads this project.

I still think that this project has very global opportunities and chances for success, because it can really and very massively show really cool opportunities. I am sure that it will be beneficial for many people.

I still think Ether has good possibilities. ethereum is one of the best cryptocurrency projects. The price of ethereum is now reduced due to the market being unstable. This coin will soon recover and that is why I see many people are choosing ETH to buy now.

I think that now it makes no sense to invest in altcoins :(

I think the most important thing is the team, and yes, Vitalik is an important name for this market. But technology is something that, after a while, doesn't need anyone. Steve Jobs is dead, but Apple is dead?

If Vitalik leaves the ETH, there's a little price drop, but then the price goes back to normal.

I think there have nothing to  worry about etherium. Cause etherium is a protensial coin and price will increase again.
We need to wait for right time.

Ether is a good project,and a strong team, what he is now at the bottom is, it does not say, in any case, not far off when he will overcome the mark of 1-2 thousand dollars for a token,and I'm sure it will be during the next growth, so just wait, everything will be fine

I still think ETH has the potential to grow despite the current situation. And I don’t think it will make any difference if Vitalik Buterin leave the project. ETH user base is already there, there will still be people using ETH platform.

I can't keep my faith on ethereum more!! Ethereum almost gone. its never touch it highest value again.

my opinion. eth, is most popular currency at moment in the world. but any causes it market prices is dumping. perhaps bitcoin, eth looking the stable market. all bitcoin holder now also belived and loved bitcoin. we are hoped that soon can come back market prices rise. so i think now just waiting for best time.

Efireum is a technical coin. And as the technical tool for me it was strange to see it such expensive as last winter. Just imagine if Windows on the computer you have to pay 2000 dollars.

I think ethereum is potential, but now it is hardly dumped.
it is so sad I've lost major part of my funds, but there aren't options besides hold and buying more crypto

I think Ethereum is a good coin that is widely spread and can be used to pay for any services in the cryptocurrency world.

I think Vitalik will never abandon or sell the ethereum but make more ways to improve it like the one which he is going to introduce in the future. It is the Ethereum 2.0 and we should believe that Vitalik will put too much of his attention to it so we should invest in it.

Ethereum is the best potential cryptos in my opinion. I think Ethereum will have fast growth in the future. Due to the bad situation of the market at now, I think the price of ETH and all cryptos in the market will decrease and not have the sign of recovery this year.

What to do on such market? :)))

Personally, I am convinced that today Ethereum is an excellent platform, one of the best solutions for long-term investments now. Of course, now the entire crypto market is going through very difficult times, but from next year the situation should gradually improve, Ethereum will steadily rise in price.

I wonder what the founder of the ether thinks when such an amount of forks and new coins grow on the same platform. May need to pay more attention to the parent coin and its development.

Yes, Vitalik has provide quality leadership in ethereum. Ethereum however still has all the feature of decentralized altcoin and I'm the event that vitalik is not able to carry in with his leadership role, ethereum will keep existing and growing!

Vitalik said that Ether can stay well if he leaves. Although that Vitalik is the main factor of Ether but i think other devs can do well and develop Ether in the future, and other developers can join Ether project as well.

Ethereum has potential and has a good set of teams.

They will not just let someone abandon the project if there's nothing interesting is coming with it. The devs of ETH are clever enough to understand to let go someone from their team and even Vitalik he knows his value with ETH. He said some bad things about ETH itself but he's starting to gain confidence.

I think it is undervaluated, people dumped ethereum below mining price. It won't last long in order not to brake industry!
Market is going to recover within some months!

Ether will have good value, I see the market has started to improve and gradually there is an increase in value so that I am not too worried about Ether, I believe ether still has the right value to maintain.

Ether is a quality Altcoin that has good volume in cryptocurrency trading market.  Volume for cryptocurrency asset is the life of such asset.  Ether is way undervalue now and this is a unique opportunity to buy as many ether as one can afford because it will rise very soon!

Vitalik Buterin certainly made a huge contribution to the development of Ethereum and is its inspirer, but a huge team is working on the project. I believe that without a team of developers the project would have remained an idea or developed very slowly, competitors would have had time to pick up the idea and implement it much faster.

Of course, Vitalik, as a person standing at the origins of Ethereum, is very important for the project and the attention of the community is always focused on his words. But without an excellent team development of the project took place much more slowly and it has not had the same success. Therefore, it is always better when both these facts are combined and such a wonderful product is born.

There is no doubt that ether is a fantastic coin and full of surprises, I did not expect that the increase in the price of ether was fantastic and reached thousands of percent in a year, but unfortunately the market conditions were red so that the price of ether also dropped.

I think ethereum is one of the best electronic money projects. This project has the potential to be profitable in the future, and the broadly developed Technology Platform, the tokens being built on it. In the future, the team promises to make the network of ethereum much faster. Now is the chance to buy in and keep them for a long time to bring in high profits

Opinions of people will not change in spite of any market unrest, I also believe that ETH is one of the best creations of the cryptocurrency world, which is currently growing at a very high rate.

in my opinion, I think that the Ethereum would be able to survive in a State that is currently going on.
with over time will improve not only this Ethereum and restore the situation as before to get more progress in not only this.

I don't think it's a question of "if" But "when". A lot of people still have confidence in eth and the technology it offers and that's the backbone of this coin. It had a rough year yes but was never meant to be a short term coin that's valued only for it's price.

if the team is still there for the development of etherum, I think if vitalik goes away then it's not a big loss. we all know that bitcoin currently hasn't even found the founder, satoshi nakamoto.

Well, he wasn’t from the very beginning, that is, he wasn’t a public person, and on Vitalik now there’s a lot of attention in my opinion there’s a risk that ETH can start falling in such a situation, but it’s always my thoughts as always.

Vitalik has different views than us , why would he start an Cryptocurrency if he thinks negative in it? it just that more and more speculators are just lurking around and he want those to go away , since more projects are becoming a scam or just a copy of another one he wants real ones to stay and he wont leave ethereum even if ethereum has tons of developers Vitalik is the pillar of ETHEREUM

Yes, Ethereum will live without Buterin - their team is really cool. Only the best specialists work in it. However, Vitalik said that he is not going to leave the project. He is still working at the platform improvement.

It was difficult for me to understand what you were trying to say, but in general I understood what you meant. Yes, I also think that Acne does not like what is happening with ETH now, but I do not think that he can somehow control those projects that are on his platform.

Ethereum is unquestionably valuable, regardless of who the team is - its interoperability and smart contract technology is completely revolutionizing industries. For example, Everex is powered by Ethereum and the project has created a number of brilliant dApps as a result, like these for example: https://medium.com/@ck_87144/industry-shaping-blockchain-products-created-by-everex-a361a1f56447

Vitaly is really the main figure of this project, but it seems to me that even if he suddenly leaves the project, nothing bad will happen!

In my opinion, the future development of ethereum will be more compliant. because ethereum prices on the market continue to decline. if ethereum prices don't rise again in the near future, then not closing the possibility of ethereum will end.

he could controll by doing some development in ethereum platform.the main issu for each coins was developtment progress,each coins has their own strategy to make its price rise.

Vitalik plays an important role in ETH team but there are other great developers and that is a team work.
Vitalik stated earlier that if he would leave one day nothing bad will happen, and that is a big strength of
a project if it is not dependent of it`s leader.

In my opinion, ETH  is a great alt coins. Although the market price of ETH has dropped drastically but I am still positive it will recover very soon. I would prolly take advantage of the low market prices now to buy more ETH.

Ether is most valuable and usable tokens in altcoins as of now, if no ether no altcoins, some of the people are using ERC20 platform to create a token because it was easy and replaceable.

But in this case, it would not be consistent with the principles of cryptocurrency and decentralization. Am I not right? The same situation is now on each platform, they do not have such an opportunity. Because it is a decentralized platform.
