    Sadly, Symbiogenesis is none of those things. Instead, Symbiogenesis is the name of a new NFT collectible art project from Square...

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.
