Akash is Airbnb economics vs. cloud's Hilton economics

AWS at a Fraction of the Price – Greg Osuri | Akash Network (We are DePIN)

“Most compute on Akash is underutilized compute, not cloud compute… same mechanics, same economics as Airbnb versus Hilton. Hilton, they have to sell you at margin, where Airbnb… they have a room they’re not using, so they’ll take whatever they could get.” — 00:35:17

Context: Explaining why Akash can undercut AWS: supply is idle corporate GPU fleets (ex-mining boxes, debt-financed H100 hoards) rather than margin-seeking cloud inventory.
