## Quote — verbatim

> A person of his nature and stature helping Akash design economics is just the tip of the iceberg... his proposal essentially: let Akash borrow security from Bitcoin — that way we don't need to allocate that many tokens for security, but rather actually borrow from a better security, from a proof-of-work model.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Referring to Stanford's David Tse (captioned "David Shay"), described as having helped Ethereum's move to proof of stake, now contributing to Akash economics through the open SIG process.
