## Quote — verbatim

> There's no single party that makes money — everybody makes money... the value accrual comes to tokens, so more people use, the tokens \[gain value\]. Overclock Labs has tokens and all of us have tokens... and there's another proposal for a take income — a percentage of the hosting fee to be paid to token holders for staking, similar to how Ethereum's staking works.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Defense of the decentralized business model (captions garble "value accrual" as "value of crude oil"). **Speaker:** uncredited clip; likely Greg.
