## Quote — verbatim

> I think that's what we need to see: more non-crypto use cases for crypto... infrastructure. And if you don't figure that out, I think we will not make it, to be honest with you — like, at all. It doesn't mean the end; it means we just reverse to web2 models.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Notes most Akash users are already non-web3; calls for "engagement infrastructure" (emails, credit cards, device-native auth) that crypto deprioritizes.
