## Quote — verbatim

> So blockchain alone, first thing we're seeing is a Cambrian explosion of decentralized cloud. I think people should take NuCypher and Filecoin and like Sia and these projects a little more seriously... We are seeing the birth of a new cloud. And when Cosmos and IBC comes into fruition, when we have interoperability... it's going to be phenomenal.

Asked what innovations excite him most; project names per Whisper transcript ("NewCypher... XIA") normalized to NuCypher/Sia.
