Quotes from the episode:

“Google is a really large company and there are many elements to Google, aside from just indexing and querying. And I think those will likely come in the blockchain space over time. And that's really why Edge & Node is there to kind of solidify that, so that blockchains become the future of the internet quickly.” [00:08:22]

“There's also over 3.1 billion GRT staked in the network currently. That's 31% of the total supply, so that number keeps increasing as well.” [00:14:35]

“You can be a liquidity provider on Uniswap, a delegator on The Graph and you can earn passive income that could potentially be more than what you're earning in your day job currently.” [00:19:49]
