Taken from dev:

A year from now focus will be on the Colossus Grid. It's great that there are many privacy coins out there, but many of these privacy coins are all doing the same thing. They are competing with each other.

ColossusXT has a clear path to grid computing, and the energy consumption alone from a Supercomputer is about $6M in energy costs a year, not to mention $150-250m for assembly and design. The Colossus Grid makes supercomputing available for any consumer or data center, whilst saving energy, upfront costs, and entirely removing the maintenance involved with large data centers.

Networking a grid of previously unused resources is paramount to the evolution of ColossusXT and our partnerships and exchanges will continue to expand over the year, "regular people" like to make money. They like to be rewarded. Contributing to the Colossus Grid can reward "regular people" with COLX. Everyone loves making money, especially when all they need to do is connect to the network and sell their unused resources on the Colossus Grid!

The great thing about ColossusXT vision is that the world is beginning to see how grid computing can create a more efficient world around us. IBM's David Turek *(Vice President of Emerging Tech - Quote below)* shares a similar vision as ColossusXT and as people begin to understand what we're building and all the different area's the Colossus Grid can contribute to, this vision can be shared globally.

```In our vision of the future, if you’re a customer who occasionally needs 10 teraflops, for example, don’t buy a machine that’s underutilized most of the time; buy it from the grid. So grid computing will play into our vision of computing as a utility.```
