## Quote — verbatim

> If you were to use cloud infrastructure, I'd rather prefer putting your infrastructure in a bare metal server sitting in a secure data center that you have complete control over, and not Amazon. Using Amazon for a web3 project is just fundamentally wrong — over-concentration of power... Akash is not really a cloud, it's a market.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Panel question on web3 teams preaching decentralization while running on web2; at [00:42:17] he sharpens it: "web3 projects should not use Amazon, period," while granting startups' need for iteration speed.
