## Quote — verbatim

> Amazon Web Services is the number one host for crypto today. It's fully closed source, it's fully opaque — we have no idea what's happening underneath the hood... there's so many things that could go wrong in a closed source system, and web3 relying on the systems is not okay. We're just waiting for a bomb to happen, and I don't want to know what happens when sixty percent of the Ethereum network is attacked because they were vulnerable for a zero day on Amazon.
