## Quote — verbatim

> Nvidia is a king obviously and their profit margins are incredibly high — the actual cost of the chip is not as much what Nvidia sells them for... well, it's a monopoly. Break the monopoly — you've got to get better or cheaper chips from competitors like AMD... George Hotz is rewriting the drivers for AMD to make it usable... the first ever Tiny Box is going to be on Akash. So things like that are coming, and that's going to reduce the cost significantly.

Concludes "ultimately decentralization, open source is a solution to the cost problem and we'll get there — right now centralization is too inefficient and that's creating the hole bigger and bigger."
