Ethereum team leader Peter Schillery expressed frustration at his alma mater’s lack of interest in providing students with opportunities to collaborate with Ethereum (ETH).
series of Post Siraj explained on X (formerly Twitter) that when he returned to his alma mater to speak about Ethereum, he always felt there was a lack of real interest.
He said students seemed to be more focused on Ethereum’s price than the project itself. ETH has gained 20.10% in the past 30 days. The current price of ETH at the time of publication is $1,698.72.
“The audience seems to be obsessed with the aspect of the numbers going up. And the organizers were always using that as an advertising campaign.”
Over the past few years, I have been asked many times to give the following talk at my alma mater. #Ethereum. I played a few, but I didn’t find them really interesting.

Shirazi said he designed grants that included airfare and lodging for nine students to attend Devconnect this year. But he claims students are not aware of who is funding the initiative.
“I haven’t met the students myself, but someone probably did. They had no idea where the grant came from,” he said.
“Let’s see if this piques your interest. I can’t get any of my old university associates (including those I receive grants from) to encourage students to do some kind of collaborative (paid) work.” I wrote a letter.”
But Shirazi claims the university failed to respond to his emails, leaving him in the dark about the outcome.
“two [weeks] After that, the effect is zero, there is not even a response,” he declared.
However, recent reports suggest that there is a growing demand for cryptocurrency and blockchain courses at universities.
