## Quote — verbatim

> In a case like Akash, we have been live for about 4 years and there hasn't been a single time the network went down or slowed down. It's always available, it's always live, and that's possible because it's open source — people are looking at the source code all the time, people are pushing updates all the time — and it's decentralized: there's not a single system that controls the entire network.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Contrasted with the CrowdStrike incident — "somebody pushed bad code to production" taking down airlines — as proof of centralized opacity and fragility.
