Would you still support Ethereum, if Vitalik left it?

[vasilisc555]

I do not believe in this news that Vitalik will abandon his offspring, the work of his whole life! Very much like a fake. Although we'll see

[khufuking]

I do not even believe the the vote post was real but even if it is .

If I think that Ethereum is just about Vitalik I would have never touch it in first place , and I think a lot wouldn't too , so Vitalik leaving Ethereum or not is not a real issue for me . Ethereum will keep move forward and the only one who gonna lose is Vitalik .

[DaMut]

lol people really did not know the difference between a joke/meme and real one.what you guys were seeing on internet was photoshop,
vitalik won't abandon it just for google,what will he gets when he joins those company ? i see nothing.
but what he gets when he was in ETH ? a lot of money,lambos and everything that he wanted.
you guys need to learn from this.
everything that you see on internet is not something that you can afford to believe completely,most of them are fakes.believe everything that you see and hear directly.

Ethereum has grown bigger than Vitalik   

[yslyv]

i dont support etherum. i only trade it when i think it is profitable. i will keep trading ethereum even if vitalik is in or not. but it is for sure that ethereum price will fall sharply if vitalik leaves from ethereum team.

[Bttzed03]

Assuming that it is going to happen, I do not think Ethereum will be greatly affected. It will be driven by community support. Just imagine bitcoin, nobody really cares now if Satoshi Nakamoto is alive or not.

[Ostonian]

If he leaves the team, then I think nothing bad will happen. The Ethereum platform will remain the same popular and its team will work only for the benefit and will advance the development of the platform further.

[megaflux7]

That question is a very hard one. Vitalik's ingenuity has been one of the reason for the ethereum popularity and success as a whole. If he leaves would I stop supporting ethereum?? No, I will keep on supporting because he has done a great job that has accumulated lots of goodwill and a huge community already, I am sure if he leaves he will handover to a structure of people who will build on the legacy he created and not disappoint him.

[firmino10]

Not to sure but I will most probably give it a chance.

[rippar]

Yes, i will still support Ethereum, because there are a lot of great people in its team without Vitalik, so Ether will continue developed and supported.

The recent news about Vitalik Buterin considering to leave ETH for Google made me think about the potential aftermath of such situation. Of course, no one takes it seriously now, and neither do I. But what if something like this could really happen? Of course, we can be safe that it will not happen right now, and all of us understand it. But what if one day he really left the team of Ethereum, then would you personally continue supporting this coin? Or you think that ETH will just die without its creator?

It's like saying you only patronize a certain country's current president and when he's not the president anymore you don't patronize it anymore.

How has Ethereum helped you? Has it changed your life? Has only Vitalik changed your life?

If your answer are all three yes then it would be a good idea for you to change your viewpoint on this matter as it will create FUD dude.

Not "fake", but yeah, it was kind of joke/trolling from his side.
But come on, nothing stopped Satoshi from "abandoning his offspring", though it was the invention that changed the whole world. Great minds are also  the unpredictable ones, so no one nows whan can happen tomorrow.

[oscarrsm]

To date, there is no alternative solution for replacing the Ether platform. Even if Vitalik for some reason will quit the game, I will still be an investor Ether.
However, if there is a strong competitor in the market who will take all the positions I will transfer my investments to other tokens. But it will not be because of Vitalik, but because of losing positions in the market.

[troiano9]

I dont think Vitalik being there would make much difference anymore.  Most people could care less if he was there or not

[Ereun]

Something that has value and asset, Usually still loved and sought even if the inventor is lost or dead, He is one of the richest people in the world, of course, his greatest asset is the ETH

[Jobbernowl]

I read rumors that he was going to go to Google. Or he was offered to work there and he was thinking. Something like that. But I don't think that he will leave his project.
Most likely it was a marketing move to attract attention to yourself and to Ether. Now many speculate by public opinion with the help of rumors and conjectures.

[Milansilver7]

Ethereum will still stand without Vitalik Buterin, this news is a blow for Tim Ethereum, the creator wants to leave his creation for no unknown reason, this will be an issue and affect the value of Ethereum, but this will not kill Ethereum.

I think there is nothing to be afraid of because everything about Ethereum has been programed which any reasonable developer can run. After all Vitalik Buterin was not the only one who develop the Ethereum blockchain. Maybe his leaving is for our own good. Also many other similar smart contract blockchains are already developed to supplement the Ethereum blockchain. eg cybermiles, Neo Cardano, Nexty and so and so forth. There is nothing to worry about because nobody has the monopoly of talents.

Do you watch the news correctly? Vitalik has created a pool and the majority of people were voting to say no about that. But remember ethereum has created by the team and not only vitalik. But vitalik is a very very talented guy with all of his innovative idea about the smartcontract and more innovative idea will come soon. I personally think that will not gonna happen. I still support this platform.

Thats it,not like bitcoin that only satoshi nakamoto has been told that created this,ethereum has a team,or a group of individuals that shares knowledge to create this so i dont see any serious matter if vitalik leaves.

And cant you see how successful ethereum just to be abandoned?maybe theres another issue inside aside from this one so lets wait for the truthful answer from the dev

[xminer2014]

I don't think that's really serious news. I'd still support ETH if it did happen, probably not as strongly though.
