"Mining for six years, only to return to zero overnight?" Is everyone saying Pi is the future?
But I haven't even passed KYC yet.
Today is the 20th, the official launch of the mainnet, and tens of millions of users are holding on to the dream of a grassroots uprising in the crypto world, ready to welcome the dawn of financial freedom?
KYC has become the biggest obstacle; let's discuss the mainnet after passing the identity verification. If we say that Pi Network's "mobile mining" in the past few years was a nationwide carnival, then KYC (real-name verification) is the final checkpoint to filter out the 'true pioneers'—and it's a tough checkpoint to clear.
Slow verification, difficult auditing: Users submit their ID documents, and customer service only leaves a message saying, "Please be patient." Some joke: "Pi's vision is to build a 'fair and open' payment network, but now it doesn't even want me to pass KYC.
A large number of pioneers are kept out: Some users are turned away due to mismatched ID information, regional restrictions, and other reasons, unable to even touch the threshold to access the mainnet. For these people, Pi Network is still just a 'virtual currency'—existing on their phones but unable to be redeemed. The mainnet isn't closed off; it's just that 'the mainnet doesn't include me.'
Exchange barriers: Pi coin can be listed but not exchanged.
With the mainnet launch, exchanges are naturally one of the most concerning aspects for users, after all—being able to sell and realize value is the ultimate goal in the crypto world! However, the reality is: Pi coin is listed on exchanges, but not all users can trade freely.
Can KYC proceed smoothly so that more users can access the mainnet?
Will exchange support be comprehensive, allowing for free trading?
Can Pi coin truly enable payments, rather than just spinning in the 'internal ecosystem'?
Currently, the future of Pi Network remains uncertain. If these issues cannot be resolved, Pi coin may indeed just be 'numbers on a mobile phone,' rather than a cryptocurrency that changes the world.
Some say: "The success of Pi coin is no longer a technical issue, but a matter of faith." Do you still believe?
