Not to get in a pedantic FF7 debate, but I don't believe Mako was destroying the planet: Shinra's Mako reactors were destroying the planet. Mako energy was a tool, and it could be used for good or evil, just like cryptocurrency. In the case of bitcoin, I believe it is being used for good.
- debo_ 5y agoI don't mind pedantic FF7 debates! I think Mako was Shinra's branding on the energy they obtained by mining the Lifestream via the Mako reactors; I don't think it was some natural force. Edit: Hmmm. "Mako (Japanese: 魔晄, Makō; literally meaning "magic light") is a liquid substance featured throughout Final Fantasy VII. It is the condensed form of lifestream and the primary source of energy used by human beings throughout the world. It is comparable to nuclear energy. Lifestream can condense into Mako via both natural and artificial processes. The terms "Mako" and "Lifestream" are often used interchangeably because one is a derivative of the other."

- chjj 5y agoHmm, not sure. I'd have to read up on the lore more, or maybe pay more attention to the game. The thing that catches my eye there is that they say lifestream can condense into mako through natural processes as well as artificial ones.
