Does Pi network have a future?
When Pi Network finally launched its mainnet on December 29, 2021 - phase three of its deployment plan - it had to almost immediately issue a warning that "any party impersonating Pi Network or its founders to conduct a sale or listing is illegal, unauthorised, and fake." According to the warning, "any party impersonating Pi Network or its founders in order to conduct a sale or listing is illegal." Pi Network has also stated that it will not conduct an initial coin offering (ICO) or a crowdfunding sale. As things stand, there is still no reliable way to exchange Pi coins, and it is impossible to predict the price of Pi Network tokens in 2022 and beyond. Of course, they could be proven wrong about Pi Network: that it will launch, that users will receive their funds, and that the cryptocurrency will be extremely valuable. The fact that the project was founded by people with degrees from Stanford, a highly regarded educational institution, lends credibility to it. Cryptocurrency initiatives have occasionally exceeded expectations; however, the industry as a whole is plagued by frauds, pyramid schemes, and other forms of deceptive business practises, as evidenced by OneCoin's failure. Before OneCoin was shut down, some estimates suggested that up to $19.4 billion was taken; as a result, dozens of people were charged with crimes.
The future of Pi Network remains uncertain but speculative. Launched in 2019 as a mobile-mined cryptocurrency, Pi gained popularity due to its accessibility and zero-energy mining. However, its lack of full decentralisation, limited real-world utility, and absence of major exchange listings raise doubts.
Pi’s success depends on broader adoption, regulatory approval, and integration into commerce. If the team delivers on promises, like open mainnet transitions and partnerships, Pi could gain traction. Yet, scepticism persists due to its pre-mined supply and reliance on user trust rather than blockchain transparency.
While some believe Pi could become a viable digital currency, others see it as a long-shot experiment. Its future hinges on delivering tangible value beyond speculative hype. Until then, cautious optimism prevails.
