## Quote — verbatim

> If you imagine Akash in two years or three years, I would like to see an Amazon, Google, Microsoft using Akash. I mean, the whole point of web3 is to be inclusive... web3 allows competitors to collaborate... Imagine a Google offering GPUs on Akash — that way they can keep their customer, at the same time offer a competitive GPU pricing. It's good for Google, it's good for Amazon. Web3 is good for business.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Asked how web3 evolves in 3-5 years; notes hyperscalers already stood up web3 teams. Also an early flag of GPU spot markets as Akash's unique value ("Akash offers a global spot market — nobody in web2 offers a global open spot market").
