Think about that person you know who’s been tapping their phone for five years straight. You probably laughed at them, right? Well, they might have the last laugh.
If they've been consistently mining Pi, they likely have 5,000 to 10,000 Pi in their wallet right now. And if they’re smart, they'll lock away most of that—say, 90%—for three years. That’s 4,500 to 9,000 Pi ready to grow.
Now, here's the fun part: they'd sell the remaining 10% (500 to 1,000 Pi) when Pi opens for trading. Even at a modest price of just $3 per Pi, that’s a quick upfront profit of $1,500 to $3,000. All of this comes from the small portion they didn't lock.
What about the huge amount they locked away? That’s their long-term passive income. With the right plan, that locked stash could become a huge deal, maybe even something that changes their family’s financial future forever.
So why are some people getting mad about this? It’s because they’re stuck dreaming of Pi being worth a ridiculous $314,159 each. But let's be real: for Pi to hit that price, it would need a market cap of $31.4 quadrillion. That's more than the entire global economy combined. Seriously, where would that kind of money even come from? It's just not possible in our world right now.
So, mining Pi wasn’t a waste of time. Getting just $3 per Pi is a win. And if you’re smart about the locked part, it could be the start of something amazing.
