On Feb 20, 2025, Pi Network moved from closed testing to Open Mainnet — turning years of mobile-mined balances into real, on-chain PI tokens. 📲➡️💰
Yes, some pioneers are still waiting on KYC approval or facing migration issues — but that’s not the end of the story. With tens of millions of users already in the ecosystem, Pi has the distribution muscle to become a go-to coin for:
✅ Instant micro-payments & tipping
✅ Merchant loyalty rewards & coupons
✅ Cross-border remittances
✅ In-app game economies
✅ Localized payment networks
Why this matters:
📈 Once migration queues clear, wallet UX improves, and audits are public — liquidity + merchant adoption can explode. Pi’s biggest strength is its already onboarded audience — something most crypto projects dream of.
From Humble Beginnings: $BTC vs PI
Bitcoin (2009) 🟧
Started as a whitepaper + small group of cypherpunks.
No initial monetary value — traded for cents in early years.
Took years before mainstream media and exchanges noticed.
Now the benchmark for store-of-value in crypto.
Pi Network (2019) 🟪
Started as a mobile mining experiment for everyday people.
Zero upfront cost — just a phone and daily taps.
Built a massive user base before mainnet launch (Feb 2025).
Aiming for mass everyday payment adoption instead of just store-of-value.
Core Similarity:
Both began with no price and skepticism, but with a vision to democratize money.
Key Difference:
$BTC grew from tech enthusiasts outward; PI grew from the masses inward.
