"Securing Cosmos With Bitcoin: A conversation with David Tse of Babylon" (Akash Network)

“Our security budget… comes from inflationary tokens… we pay higher price for lower security. But if I can optimize the security budget to have much better price for performance by borrowing Bitcoin security, I think we’ll be a lot better and a lot more secure chain.
