Pantera Capital‘s Co-Chief Investment Officer Joey Krug is not a new player to the scene. Joey has co-founded projects like Augur, a decentralized prediction market protocol, and the new MimbleWimble implementation labeled as Beam.

Pantera has been one of those venture funds that have stayed bullish on the crypto markets even though there was an obvious downtrend happening in the past few months. Back in August, the company announced that it is pursuing a 175 million capital fundraiser for their third crypto venture fund. This was explained with the space moving extremely fast and ICO pre-investments being an extremely profitable business.

Now Joey Krug sat down to a short interview with Bloomberg, where he explained his thoughts for the next few months and what barriers he sees lying ahead for Digital Assets.

Joey highlighted 2 main problems that he believes are slowing down mainstream adoption. The first one was an obvious scalability issue, he argued that even though there are several dApps live on different networks these are not really fit to accept the human wave that mainstream adoption would bring.

This is an obvious case with Bitcoin and similar “currency only” networks, even though solutions like the Lightning Network and Blockstream’s Liquid are on the way to ease network loads and make scalability possible.

The second problem he mentioned was the lack of cheaper entry alternatives into the crypto space for both institutional investors and normal buyers. He argued that he sees this changing in the past 6-9 months as solutions such Bakkt and Fidelity enter the market as higher competition levels will push down fees and additional prices.

When asked about the potential of the market, Joey replied that he sees a 10x (+1000%) possible when these problems are tackled. To check out the whole interview click on play below.
