Will Ethereum fail if Vitalik dies?

[pentol86]

I'm not sure if ETH's Viatil will collapse.
we have to see first about the successor of Vitalik, are there any future generations or not?
If there is, then I'm not worried at all.

There's no doubt that vitalik has contributed a lot into ethereum. However, ethereum will not fail even if vitalik dies. Ethereum will continue to survive. It has a great potential.

[w33man]

Vitalik was the mind behind ethereum, however, it was created by a team of professionals, not by Vitalik alone. So, I think ethereum will still survive even if Vatalik dies one day. It can still be developed and improved by the team. It depends on the ethereum supporters whether they will panic sell just because Vitalik is gone or not.

What do you think will happen with Ethereum if Vitalik Buterin's death is confirmed? Will the price crash and the project fail? Or would it continue to grow into infinity and beyond? I'm concerned about this, since previously, there were rumors about Vitalik's death which caused the price of Ethereum to fall drastically within the cryptocurrency market. Fortunately, Vitalik showed proof that he was alive, which calmed the downfall of Ethereum's price.

However, if Vitalik dies, many things could happen either good or bad. Perhaps, Ethereum may fall if Vitalik dies, because he's been leading the project every step of the way. By not having a leader, the Ethereum project will disorientate itself into oblivion, IMO. Nonetheless, what are your thoughts about this?

The Ethereum blockchain programs development was the hand work of a team of blockchain experts including Vitalik Buterin, and it's an open source, I don't think Vitalik death alone only one among the team could cause a major drop on the price of Ethereum because vitalik Buterin name has no demand and supply functions which are the determinants of crypto market price.

Your question is similar to "will the price of bitcoin drop when satoshi nakamoto leaves the project?"
I think not. As long as the project he creates has its own qualities and uniqueness that can benefit people, then the project will still be in the hearts of people. There may even be a next successor who will replace Vitalik if he dies.

The discussion about this might be one of the most viral for crypto currencies, because we know that Vitalik is the most important behind the success of Ethereum, but I feel that even if he dies or withdraws from Ethereum, it will no longer have an impact , I've seen him in an interview and he said that Ethereum will remain strong even without him.

[dashayana]

If Vitalik's death is true, I don't think it will have much effect on Eth. I'm sure Vitalik has thought about all that. He must have prepared and appointed a team to continue in Eth's development if he later died. And he is sure will pass on to their children to continue what he has built. That way, I'm sure Eth will last even more.

Honestly a very weird thing to discuss but logical because human physiology is undeniable ! I Think it will weaken the position but once we know the name of the new Director the price will rise ! Such a giant should always have an influential representative !

[bitcoin.clakr]

I do not believe that ETH will die at the same time as its main developer. It seems to me that this system is independent and will be able to develop without the first founders.

[yslyv]

vitalik is the main factor in ethereum's raise. nobody can say the opposite. he is clever and enough active in the ecosystem. i dont think the project dies aswell if vitalik dies but it loose so much strength for sure.

[matico]

If Vitalik dies, I think it shouldn't have serious effect on the architecture and protocol of ethereum since ethereum is open source and well decentralized platform, I believe development will continue and ethereum platform will keep getting better!

[Quitthis]

Apple did not fail. Eth won't

[trader34]

I think that in such a scenario, ether will have an initial dump in price but then it will recover. The Ethereum platform will go on regardless of the founder. It's a foundation with many developers working there.

[Nwankwobtt]

I doubt his death news will affect ethereum on the long run because he has set up a foundational institute to desearch and development of Ethereum. So ethereum will actually become his legacy to the free world and it will grow from strength because structures have already be designed and put in place to enable steady growth

[Torbeks]

I don't think so. Any alternate coin should not be dependent on just one guy. It made no sense if it does as crypto currency should be available to anyone. Monopoly shouldn't be practice on any form of investment and crypto is not an exemption. Also, if Vitalik dies, I believe that his assets are already set to be transferred to any person he desired.

The only problem is that such news can greatly affect the price of the token, and then spend some time recovering the price. What is not good for the project as a whole.

[batkaMahno]

I think this event will be very negative for the price of Ether. Usually, people are keenly reacting to similar events in the world of cryptocurrencies.

[HichemFetoui]

i don't think so now we have a very powerful ethereum alliance in place ethereum now is the most powerful crypto ecosystem in the space that relay the real world and the blockchain

I will use Bitcoin as an example- you hear about Satoshi Nakamoto but you haven’t seen him or know where he is, neither do you know if he’s alive or not, but bitcoin is still up and running and has been succeeding more than it has done since the time it was created. Bitcoin has been able to do all that without Satoshi being around to handle all that, so I think what matters most is the team that Vitalik has setup.

[santouao]

I think tension will rise on the market. If this happen, some will lose confident on ethereum since they know that Vitalik is the head and aource of its idea and some will not believe if someone else continue to develop the project. But those are simple minded people. Of course Vitalik have some team who know the sequencr ofthe project and porbably well orient already of the future plans which in case this kind of event happen.
