## Quote — verbatim

> If there's a way to bridge the Bitcoin security or really bring Bitcoin security to Akash and even enable payments using Bitcoin for using machine learning on Akash, I think that will be an incredible milestone in improving... the security of Akash network to a level that can withstand a nation state attack. And that's very important when you're building an unstoppable cloud.
