Cloudflare Needs 100M TPS from Crypto to Fix the Internet | CEO Matthew Prince

Okay.

Bankless
Cloudflare Needs 100M TPS from Crypto to Fix the Internet | CEO Matthew Prince

But I think there's something to that where we sort of stopped and said, okay, at a basic level, what do markets require?

Bankless
Cloudflare Needs 100M TPS from Crypto to Fix the Internet | CEO Matthew Prince

Everyone says they require supply and demand.

Bankless
Cloudflare Needs 100M TPS from Crypto to Fix the Internet | CEO Matthew Prince

That's not exactly accurate.

Bankless
Cloudflare Needs 100M TPS from Crypto to Fix the Internet | CEO Matthew Prince

What they require is actually limited supply

Bankless
Cloudflare Needs 100M TPS from Crypto to Fix the Internet | CEO Matthew Prince

And demand.

Bankless
Cloudflare Needs 100M TPS from Crypto to Fix the Internet | CEO Matthew Prince

If you have infinite supply, like wherever we are all sitting, like we're breathing air, there's no market for air because air is plentiful.

Bankless

If I go scuba diving, there's a market for air because there's no air down there.

Bankless

So you actually need limited supply plus demand that's out there.

Bankless
Cloudflare Needs 100M TPS from Crypto to Fix the Internet | CEO Matthew Prince

The good news is there's tons of demand.

All of the AI companies are trying to figure out how can they get as much data as possible.

Bankless
Cloudflare Needs 100M TPS from Crypto to Fix the Internet | CEO Matthew Prince

And they're all trying to figure out how can they find the corner of the internet that nobody has gotten to before.

Bankless
Cloudflare Needs 100M TPS from Crypto to Fix the Internet | CEO Matthew Prince

And what they're really trying to do is, if you think about it, what's the history of why did OpenAI start?

Bankless
Cloudflare Needs 100M TPS from Crypto to Fix the Internet | CEO Matthew Prince

It was Elon and Sam trying to figure out how do they make sure that Google doesn't run away with the whole game.

Bankless

Why did Anthropic start?

Bankless
Cloudflare Needs 100M TPS from Crypto to Fix the Internet | CEO Matthew Prince

Because Dario spins out from OpenAI.

Bankless

So again, it's the derivative of how do you compete with Google.

Bankless
Cloudflare Needs 100M TPS from Crypto to Fix the Internet | CEO Matthew Prince

XAI, again, same thing.

Bankless
Cloudflare Needs 100M TPS from Crypto to Fix the Internet | CEO Matthew Prince

Everyone is trying to catch Google, and Google has significantly more data than anyone else that's out there.

Bankless
Cloudflare Needs 100M TPS from Crypto to Fix the Internet | CEO Matthew Prince

Every page that OpenAI sees on the internet, Google sees four.
