Square Enix's 'Symbiogenesis' is NFT Project, Not a New Parasite Eve
In case you wanted your hopes crushed, here comes Square Enix.
Last month, Square Enix trademarked something called Symbiogenesis in Japan. Naturally, this led to a lot of speculation about what this could be. The strongest hope was that this was for some sort of a Parasite Eve revival, be it a new sequel or perhaps a remake, maybe even a reboot.

The idea of cryptocurrency, as conceived when it first arose a little over a decade ago, and the reality as we see it in 2022, are two very different things. As interesting as crypto has come to be, it seems hard now to imagine a future in which it could be even close to replacing fiat currencies or competing as an alternative.
