## Quote — verbatim

> I think we should be more worried about browsers blocking URLs. See what's happening with Skynet, for example, Sia — Chrome blocks 80 percent of Sia URLs; most of Europe you can't even access Sia URLs... in Gmail if you put a Sia link it will go away, Twitter will block it. I think you're gonna see a lot of that come by.
