## Quote — verbatim

> If we can decentralize at least the compute layer, we have a much better chance of decentralizing the entire stack. Versus if you don't decentralize this base-level layer, we're going to be having trouble.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Explaining why both decentralized (Venice, Nous, Prime Intellect) and centralized stacks (Brev) building on Akash matter for long-term demand.
