When Ginkgo Bioworks launched more than a decade ago, the field of synthetic biology had seemingly convinced investors that fuels derived from algae could one day upend the oil and gas industry.
Those ill-fated biofuel efforts fizzled

after it became clear that they (these efforts) were unlikely to ever be cheaper than oil.
In the fallout, several upstarts like Amyris and LanzaTech survived and pivoted toward higher-margin products like fragrances and sweeteners made with biological processes.
For Ginkgo, the vision was always bigger than biofuels. Instead, it aimed to create a platform—akin to Amazon Web Services or the Apple app store—to manufacture cells for all industries.
The Boston-based company's patience recently paid off: Last month, Ginkgo landed a blank-check deal that valued the company at $15 billion, more than triple what it was worth last year, according to PitchBook data. Its rival Zymergen also took a platform-first approach to biomanufacturing and rode it to an IPO in April at a roughly $3 billion valuation.

if we wants a civilization we will need a secure network to support.
As long as a network offers anonymous access without assured identity it will remain the domain of Skinwalkers.
Can we have both assured identity and elective anonymity to higher standard than is currently obtainable via layered crypto or whatever?
Yes.
Will any network that provides pseudo anonymity (like the internet) or allows anonymous access (like the internet) support civilization?
No.
Not an opinion; an axiom.
