## Quote — verbatim

> There will come a point where you cannot use shared infrastructure anymore... Dropbox started off on the cloud but they came to a point where it's very very expensive... people are going to need their own compute, their own sovereignty — be it compute, be it software, whatever layer you're running on — eventually for scaling, and there's really no other way.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

The WordPress-to-own-servers analogy applied to blockchains (appchains vs. shared state) and to compute sovereignty generally; earlier he states "my thesis is once you bootstrap you will need sovereignty" (00:46:13).
