## Quote — verbatim

> DePIN shines when it mirrors its own design — like countless small parts, like trees in a forest or neurons in a brain... fragmented assets like GPUs or rooftop solar or Wi-Fi routers or city sensors... the line is simple: decentralize what is abundant and idle, and centralize what is scarce and indivisible.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

His answer to "when does DePIN make sense": tokens are "the protocol layer that reduces entropy"; nuclear plants, hydro dams and submarine cables should stay centralized. (Quote begins at the end of the [00:13:58] block.)
