Will Ethereum fail if Vitalik dies?

[tterrorpipa]

There maybe some certain backslide if that happens. But I think not, because aside from Vitalik, he have many more developers behind the ethereum coin. And I know for sure, some would step in front and continue the legacy of Vitalik.

[mahilchii]

I think that it would be like Apple. When Steve Jobs died, company lost a lot of money but they continued to work. And now the capitalization of Apple is so huge. The developers of Ethereum will continue to work if Vitalik die.

It absolutely does, Vitalik have its team members and they might continue their mission and goals even if its leader dies. But I'm pretty sure ETH will drop down at the moment and turn back once the team recover from such loss.

You are right, it will create a big impact in ETH if they lose a trusted person. Popularity increases only in the trust of a person and its entire administration. Yes it may take time to recover but it will not die as there is a huge reputation for this coin.

Although Vitalik Buterin is the founder of Ethereum, this does not mean that the price of Ethereum will change with him. Ethereum is a brand, its price is determined by the market, not by a certain person!

[btcmi]

I hope nothing will happen to Vitalik, but I think that Ethereum will live long after Vitalik’s death. He has a large and strong team that will develop the product no matter what happens.

[adworker]

Buterin can at least leave the Ethereum community today. and everything will work. other people have been writing code for a long time. but Vitalik is more of a legend.  

[Opnsrc]

I think if this happens then the course of the coin will drop a lot. But the project itself will remain alive and will work. But what will happen then is unknown to me

First of all, I wish to ask one question: why should Vitalik die? Is he seriously ill? The guy simply said once that IF he stops to work at Ethereum, nothing would happen to altcoin. ETH is cool enough and strong.

[BobBct]

Well i don't think so because as BTC even as the "creator" is no longer here or anonymous it still become one of the most famous currencies right now and i think ETH may dump but still get on the market.

[Flamebellow]

Of course it won't fail , because Vitalik is not the only developer who works on the project. Perhaps he is the most public and well-known of the team, but I am sure that they will be able to develop the project without Vitalik. Of course, such news could have a very negative effect on Ethereum's price, but with time, the price would recover if the development team will do their job .

[marcitosi]

I do not think that the vitalik will die soon . It seems to me that the team at ethereum is very good and they could develop the project without it

[kevinzxz]

I don't think so, because what makes Ethereum survive or fail is investors and not Vitalik. because in my opinion even though Vitalik is dead but there are still many people who use and invest Etheruem then I'm sure Ethereum will definitely survive and succeed, but if no one believes Ethereum again then I'm sure Etheruem will fail even though Vitalik isn't dead.

[Abiky]

No. I don't think the Ethereum will die even if Vitalik Buterin dies. The Ethereum has a great team of developers that can take care of Ethereum till eternity with or without Vitalik. He is just another Ethereum co-founder, once he's gone another will take his place.

That's certainly true, mate. Ethereum might survive after all, due to the vast amount of developers working on it. Perhaps, after Vitalik dies, members of the foundation might find someone that would replace Vitalik as the new leader of the Ethereum project. If developers and the public in general become interested in advancing Ethereum for the future, then there shouldn't be any reason for the cryptocurrency project to fail anytime soon.

Of course, things will head south due to Vitalik's death, but I believe it's only temporary as Ethereum becomes highly demanded by people in the mainstream world for access to a wealth of ERC-20 tokens available on the blockchain. As such, the same way Apple survived even with Steve Jobs' death, the same could probably happen to Ethereum. Only this time, another leader could emerge, or the project would head in its own direction guided by the community. Just my opinion

[Bonenx14]

I don't think so, because what makes Ethereum survive or fail is investors and not Vitalik. because in my opinion even though Vitalik is dead but there are still many people who use and invest Etheruem then I'm sure Ethereum will definitely survive and succeed, but if no one believes Ethereum again then I'm sure Etheruem will fail even though Vitalik isn't dead.

in this case trust will remain the main. I agree with you, even though vitalik still exists but investor confidence is reduced to ethereum there will be potential to die. so in this context trust remains the main thing for ethereum's and crypto's future

[Master1781]

Vitalik won't die soon But most cryptos (BTC including) can be completely different in 10-15 years from now

[haidangtp]

I think there would be no serious problems if Vitalik died. There will be people in the development team replacing him. And everything is fine.

[wayancrypto]

In my opinion Ethereum will still life when the founder died, because there are alot of others team developer possible to keep continue to development the platform and the technology. Ethereum community is big and keep bigger in every year because this technology is young and has big potential to give more benefits to the many industry. Just like Bitcoin still live although the sathosi nakamoto does not exist anymore and he is not real.

[warning_btc]

This was shok for community and eth, but after we see stabilizing.
This project massive and my vision Buterin already not main person in eth, in other way he for long time ago deployed pos

[Mr.Gun]

No, I don't think so, ethereum will be able to survive even though the vitalic is dead, I believe that, ethereum coint is good and strong and I am sure it will last a long time

[fuer44]

maybe you have thought too far, but if the vitalic dies or leaves the crypto industry, there must be one of his team who will replace him. etherum will not die, but will lose a little of its value, and with a new project with a new team, surely etherum will return to the market to be even better.

[sergey1301]

I think that, with Ethereum, will all well! I think that by the end of 2018, ETH will cost 1000 + dollars.

[glasbren]

I don't think that is how it work, even if the team of Ethereum is changing, but it won't makes ETH failing. That is because Ethereum already standing firm and it already supported by a strong community.
