## Quote — verbatim

> If you want to create a truly decentralized system that's extremely strong, can withstand state-level attacks... which is Bitcoin. So we're actually looking at bringing Bitcoin security \[to\] Akash... I believe Bitcoin has to be the mother chain of the world.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Discussing whether Akash could exist without a token (only if a capable L1 existed); actively researching consensus mechanisms to reduce reliance on the AKT token for security.
