Harvard Confuses Bitcoin for Ethereum: A School’s Crypto Crisis 🌌

by

In a Universe where absurdities are as common as stars, Jeff Park has decided to transform Harvard into the cosmic joke it seems to have been angling for. According to our illustrious friend Park, the Big Red House in Cambridge believes it’s running a Bitcoin operation when, in reality, it’s Ethereum in disguise. Make no mistake, dear reader, it matters – because as anyone who’s seen a coffee machine knows, distinctions are made of sterner stuff.

Key difference in governance

Whereas Bitcoin is a rigid, unchanging, utterly inflexible endeavor reminiscent of your childhood governess, Ethereum is more akin to a loosely organized tea party where the rules evolve with the wind and the enthusiastic marshaling of social agreement. Park quietly points out – in a whisper, lest we startle the deer – that Harvard, while letting itself bask in the mystery of admissions scarcity, is in fact exercising discretion broader than the Milky Way in its vastness.

The problem with Harvard is that it thinks it’s Bitcoin when it’s Ethereum

When Elon Musk mused about broken deals and unfair playing fields, Park’s suggestion was rather anti-climactic – admit one more student, a solution so simple it’s shocking. Yet, it seems that the concept of such obvious solutions is too naive for the elevated realities of elite institutions, for whom the “artificial scarcity” approach is akin to worshipping a hologram.

Admissions at these hallowed halls are often presented as a grim zero-sum game, directed by the tyranny of “capacity constraints” and the dramatic allure of “fairness”. Bless Park for noting these limitations are less physical and more strategic in nature. The game, it seems, is orchestrated by governance, not gravity.

Harvard’s system

The notion that results shift annually like camouflaged fashion statements, simply due to shifting internal whims, suggests that it’s not Bitcoin, it’s more like your Aunt Gertrude’s interpretation of free will. For those born in the cosmic cradle of blockchain, the discrepancy dawns in a nanosecond – because governance is like breathing – necessary yet debatable. Isn’t it almost paradoxical to proclaim fairness when one secretly drags the rule book out behind the shed for occasional alterations?

Ethereum doesn’t delve into the Kafkaesque fantasy that rules are the end-all; rather, Bitcoin has taken that leap. Park asserts – with the fervor of someone explaining that the moon landing was real – that Harvard’s cardinal error isn’t that it decides admissions, but rather that it staunchly denies its own influence. Nestled comfortably in denial, it serenades the language of inevitability while shunning accountability.
