Bear markets make cost matter — the unused-compute model is working
Akash Weekly Spaces - June 22nd (Akash Network)
“People don’t really care about cost of compute, but when times are difficult, in a bear market, Akash is getting quite a lot of attention… a plot, when Chia was in a bull market, was selling for $2 — now [10 cents]… the source of compute is coming from unused compute, right? So the model is really working here.” — 00:10:35
