## Quote — verbatim

> I see a lot of like nodes being deployed on Amazon. I think arguably about 70% of the nodes are running on Amazon today. And they all have their keys in Amazon itself. So if the server on the Amazon gets compromised, you're screwed.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Answering how secure DeCloud is; quantified claim about crypto's dependence on AWS ("no one is going to save your keys, not Jeff Bezos").
