The world was always moving towards digital currencies, but the way in which these current players are positioning themselves is harming this transition. - David Kahale, CEO
David Kahale, Panta Group's CEO has stated that the company is in no hurry to release an unfinished currency because there are a lot of mathematical, economic and legal examinations that have to be solved in order to achieve this incredibly huge transition.
This shift is not easy, especially when it feels too big and further highlights the tension between Marketing and Technology within politics. Panta is trying to resolved this tension by focusing on serving their customers first and foremost, and by better integrating these departments from the start. That means aligning value driven organisational priorities and ways of working to serve the customer first, regardless of department. This evolution is inevitable for organisations of all types, and the brands that get their first will not only grow their market shares, but begin to reshape the industry at large.
All we can do now is wait and listen to Panta's final solution to the digital currency age.
