## Quote — verbatim

> Akash is too early right now to be shut down by regulation. I think if regulation is out of her way, I think Akash is unstoppable. But if regulation comes and basically says you cannot exist, I think that's going to be a big problem... if you're a builder you can build as long as you're allowed to build — we'll build our way out of any problems... but if you're not allowed to build, that'll be a problem.
