Ethereum Team Lead Expresses Concern Over Former University's Apathy Towards Crypto Education
Summary:
Ethereum team leader, Peter Szilagyi, expresses dissatisfaction towards his former university's seeming disinterest in providing student collaboration opportunities with Ethereum. He further states the students appear more focused on Ethereum's price, which has risen by 20.10% over the last month. Despite developing a grant for students to participate in Devconnect, Szilagyi criticizes the lack of awareness among students about the funding source and the university's non-responsive communication. The article also discusses the growing demand for cryptocurrency and blockchain courses in universities, driven by major companies that actively hire cryptocurrency and blockchain experts.
Ethereum's team leader, Peter Szilagyi, has voiced dissatisfaction with his former university's apathy towards providing avenues for students to engage with Ethereum (ETH). Through a series of posts on a platform previously known as Twitter, Szilagyi communicated his dissatisfaction about the lack of true enthusiasm when he would return to his ex-university to conduct lectures on Ethereum. He felt that the attention of the students was more on the price trend of Ethereum than on the project's merit. In the past month, ETH has seen a 20.10% value jump. As of the time this news is going to press, the current trade price for ETH stands at $1,698.72. “The attendees seem to be trapped in the perspective of increasing numbers, and event coordinators have constantly exploited this as a marketing plan,” he observed.
This year, Szilagyi organized a grant allowing 9 students to join Devconnect, inclusive of travel and lodging. He stated, however, that he believes the students to be unaware of the funding source. "I have yet to meet the students personally, but someone supposedly has. They seemed to have no idea about the grant's origin," he mentioned.
Regardless, Sikagyi demands that the university did not respond to his emails, thereby keeping him uninformed about the matter's development. “Two weeks later, still no effort, no response,” he protested. Contrarily, recent evidence shows a rise in demand for crypto and blockchain lessons in academic institutions.
As reported by Cointelegraph on Feb. 24, big corporations are fuelling the need for crypto learning. Several major brands, including Oracle, Amazon, and Google, have actively been recruiting candidates with crypto and blockchain expertise to aid in the creation of blockchain-based products. It was also reported that there has been a surge of curiosity from information system students keen to gain knowledge about decentralized applications. As per recent news, the Institute of Crypto-Assets has been unveiled in France. The organization will be responsible for promoting and executing research into blockchain technology and cryptocurrency.
