## Quote — verbatim

> The biggest reason why people leave Akash is they run out of money — like, it's really that dumb... it's like \[a\] parking meter, you forget to put more money in... the deployment goes away and I have no idea why my deployment went away... churn has been a larger contributing factor for a flat adoption curve.

Community member asks why network analytics are flat over the past year; Greg lists fixes: Cloudmos alerts, USDC stable payments, credit-card custodial deploys via the upcoming Overclock Console, and multi-region fault-tolerance UX.
