## Quote — verbatim

> Especially as we see a lot of these proof-of-work coins start to switch to proof-of-stake... you're gonna have a lot of GPUs on the market that... can do something better, and so I'm hoping to see that Akash will be there and ready to fill in those boots and take in all that capacity.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

**Speaker:** Sunny Aggarwal, not Greg — anticipating the Ethereum merge GPU glut (a year and a half early); Adam agrees there will be "giant excess capacity of GPUs" Akash must capitalize on ([01:22:02]).
