## Quote — verbatim

> Akash is a decentralized super cloud. What that means is it is a cloud network where the compute comes from places that normally cloud providers don't offer. Places like homes, buildings, small buildings. Pretty much anywhere there's compute can be contributed to Akash network for the greater good.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Host reintroduces him as the person who made "the decentralized bet long before it was fashionable"; Greg says constrained compute is driving more usage to Akash.
