## Quote — verbatim

> In 10 years I would imagine it's going to be a fully self-sovereign... self-sustaining system, and if you think about the cloud, it's what, 300 billion dollars, right? So even a reasonable one percent market share is three billion dollars of... economic activity coming into the network.
