## Quote — verbatim

> People don't care about decentralization, people don't care about control as much as you and I like to think. But what they care is access... even though Akash is like 80% cheaper, it's not that hard to get a regular computer on Amazon — there's abundance of it. But I think GPUs are going to be one of those killer use cases for Akash.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Candid strategy statement: Akash wins where demand outstrips centralized supply (GPUs), not on ideology or price for commodity compute.
