## Quote — verbatim

> There are lots of risks, but I think the biggest one would be — Akash is too early right now to be shut down by regulation. I think if regulation is out of the way, I think Akash is unstoppable. But if regulation comes and basically says you cannot exist, I think that's going to be a big problem.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Audience question "what's the biggest risk Akash faces" during the Voorhees coffee chat; Greg adds "if you're a builder you can build as long as you're allowed to build — we'll build our way out of any problems."
