## Quote — verbatim

> It's open, so it's unstoppable, it's permissionless — no one can stop you from using Akash, including myself. I cannot take it down... there's a big reason of having the sovereignty — having this guarantees business continuity, so we are seeing a lot of companies using Akash as a disaster recovery or a failover kind of thing.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken
