Among the thousands of cryptocurrencies that appear every year, Pi Network attracts the attention of even skeptics. Its main feature is "battery-free mining", or earning money simply by pressing a button on your phone. But is it really a breakthrough, or just another way to keep the attention of millions without real results?
๐ง What is Pi Network?
The project was launched in 2019, stating its goal to make cryptocurrency accessible to everyone.
The algorithm is Stellar Consensus Protocol, mining is social, blockchain is private.
At first glance, it is an innovation. But there are nuances:
Users do not have access to private keys.
Funds are not withdrawn (at the time of writing).
The price of the coin on the "official market" is not transparent.
More than 50 million users - but no global exchange supports PI.
โ๏ธ Pi - the future or utopia?
๐น Pros:
A huge community.
Easy entry for beginners.
Active promotion and marketing.
The idea of โโWeb3 for everyone.
๐ธ Cons:
Lack of real listing.
Questionable token economics.
"Closed economy" with internal transactions.
No guarantees that coins will be worth anything at all.
๐งญ My vision โ Captain Morgan
I see something more in Pi Network than just hype. This is an experiment with mass participation, which can either take off as a new model of the Web3 economy, or become the world's largest "cashless mining".
๐ If Pi manages to create a real economy with listings, DAO, open source โ it will be a breakthrough.
๐ If everything remains in the "believe - wait - click" mode, then this is not a crypto, but a social experiment in trust.
โ Conclusion: worth it or not?
Pi doesn't require money, only time. And that's what made it popular. But time is a valuable resource.
๐น If you're just "collecting", it's risk-free.
๐น If you're a serious investor, wait for the official launch of the Mainnet with full transparency.
