Bitcoin is prone to Manipulation, Pi is free from manipulation because its free to mine.
Bitcoin requires intense computational power, which means mining it consumes electricity and hardware resources. This creates a real cost to produce each BTC, pushing the price higher because miners need to cover expenses. Essentially, BTC mining naturally drives scarcity and market-driven pricing based on production costs.
On the other hand, Pi is mined through social engagement, not computational power, meaning there’s no direct cost involved in mining. Since Pi doesn’t require expensive equipment or electricity, it remains free from cost-driven price manipulation. Instead of being influenced by mining expenses, Pi's value is shaped by community consensus and its utility within the Pi Network.
This reinforces the idea that Pi should be valued on its difficulty to mine, rather than linking it to fiat prices.
