## Quote — verbatim

> We made a lot of bets with a lot of really good tech: we made a bet on Cosmos really early, we made a bet on proof of stake very early, and we made a bet on Kubernetes really, really early. So all these bets are starting to show \[fruition\] and we start to see results.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Reacting to the Ethereum Merge the prior week — "that validates our thesis; we started working on proof of stake design since 2017" (00:31:32).
