Pantera Capital CIO: “Bitcoin Will Not Succeed As Money”

The CIO of Pantera Capital, Joey Krug, is in the latest cryptocurrency news for his recently written thesis in which he states that Bitcoin won’t succeed as money. As Krug believes, cash payments are not the primary areas where blockchain technology catalyzes a paradigm shift. According to Krug, Bitcoin may become digital gold – but never succeed as money – mostly because of its volatility and the lack of a dynamic monetary policy for the most dominant cryptocurrency.

Krug also stated that the Beam Network has a good chance of tackling the issue of money. The organization is in fact led by him as well as the founder of Bolt, Ryan Breslow, among others. It aims to pursue the original vision of crypto payments.

“Bitcoin created the ability to send money around the globe cheaply and easily without having to trust a third party,” Krug was confident.

He also went on to discuss several revolutions in the past, from the information revolution triggered by printing press up to the telegram, telephone, radio, television and finally, the Internet.

When asked about finance, Krug believes that the industry has made leaps of progress such as increases in execution speeds, online user interfaces, brokers etc. However, he stated that a financial revolution powered by the blockchain could advance us into a next era where money, value and finance will all be coordinated thanks to crypto.

“This infrastructure will be borderless, cheap, quick, and, most importantly, will let people trade on things they’ve never been able to exchange before, and if markets for those don’t exist yet, it’ll let them create it,” Krug concluded.
