## Quote — verbatim

> With Supermini... there's a possibility that a low-powered home-based device can actually contribute to a larger cloud and give a very similar experience... we're seeing this democratization, distribution of these low-powered but very effective computational nodes all over the world.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Answering "why decentralized cloud, and what makes it possible" — cites Helium's token-incentivized home nodes as the model; an early statement of the home-compute thesis.
