## Quote — verbatim

> Akash is one of the largest IP address marketplaces — we don't really talk much about it... IPs are more scarce than gold, think about it. It'd be cool to have an IP coin someday that's backed by IP addresses. It's a really scarce namespace.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Aside while listing post-mainnet capabilities (persistent storage, IP-address-based discovery).
