## Quote — verbatim

> When you remove the need for a centralized scheduler or a centralized control plane... and you go to a fundamental peer-to-peer manner, you can scale unlimited... One of the reasons Akash has been around for 4 years and hasn't had a single outage except for the planned upgrades is because it's foundationally \[decentralized\]... During last one year Amazon went down 100 times — when it goes down you can't order your Uber or your DoorDash. Is that the foundation that we want to build our AI \[on\]?... From a technological standpoint, I think there is no other way to scale at a global scale other than decentralization.
