## Quote — verbatim

> AKT needs to have higher value in order for the blockchain to be secure. Without security there's no functionality... the price of AKT is a direct function of the security and the functioning of the system, not as an investment asset.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Discussion of take-income value capture (burning/redistributing a cut of marketplace volume), held back pending regulatory clarity from the SEC's Ethereum-staking posture. Partly co-articulated with the host.
