Envision "The organic "lump" is sublimated into an object of belief" - Vol.12 Editor's Note

Editor's Note: "The organic "lump" is elevated to an object of belief."

A girl was walking while engrossed in eating ice cream and bumped her forehead into a glass door without noticing. A woman who seemed to be her mother ran over to her, surprised by the sound of the bump, but the girl was only a little surprised and did not cry, but continued to walk away, avoiding the glass door while eating the ice cream again.

I felt relieved, and at the same time, I was impressed by the child's innocence and concentration on what was in front of her. I think that people who hold crypto assets, including myself, have been exposed to so many topics during the big market from last year to this year that it has become difficult to concentrate. I want to stop predicting the future, which has no correct answer no matter how much we think about it, and instead have a balanced concentration on living in the present.

Due to the nature of my job, I try to intentionally create opportunities to be exposed to creativity. Recently, I had time to look at a commercial made by Apple a long time ago and think about it. The Apple commercial directed by Ridley Scott is based on the theme of George Orwell's novel "1984" and symbolically expresses Apple's stance against IBM.
