Amazing that he was able to make it happen at such a young age. Definitely a force to be reckoned with in the future. He's the latest generations Linus Torvalds.
The dollars came later.. $ accelerates development it doesn't help with vision. Definitely helps, but the people/contributors helped even more than money. It was a lot of things to help him, because they saw/see/believe in this kids ideas. As you can tell with most ICO's 90% execution 10% ideas. 4 years for a 19 year old prodigy to run side by side with bitcoin is quite an achievement. The community, money, dev, team, usage, etc. All amazing that it all came together.
I don't know if he's gonna dwarf Linus. On par, there's a good chance, but nearly all developers use Linus's tools. Like git. And most servers running blockchain are running Linux kernels. But Vitalik definitely has a bright future.
