“Past to Future” by Hamed Azizi | MakersPlace Blog

Looking back on all of that technological progress, Azizi’s work wonders how we will be viewed when we are considered to be an ancient civilization. Will scientific progress outpace our ability to adapt? And what of our non-human brethren? And the earth itself?

The Drop

Earth to Space

When man traveled to other planets, he was only looking for life. But in the future, earth’s biggest brands will travel to other planets in search of distant target markets. Because maybe in the future, the earth and the environment will no longer be able to bear the myriad cryptocurrencies in existence.

Eth Mining

It is a space outside our place. A different world, an encrypted world. The powerful horse, an emblematic representation of Ethereum, is warming up for the start of an exciting race. This warmup gives way to the next stage, in which the horse outraces its opponents and reaches the ultimate victory: liberation! 

Wealth or/= Science

The Merge is happening, the Merge in which science and wealth are one and the same. The more we know, the more abundantly we may live while improving everyone’s lives. Abul-Qâsem Ferdowsi Tusi was a Persian poet and the author of Shahnameh (“Book of Kings”), one of the world’s longest epic poems created by a single poet and the greatest epic of Persian-speaking countries. Ferdowsi is an example of knowledge and cultural influence increasing our historical wealth. May the tech allow us to be more like the great Ferdowsi.
