It’s been years since many of us joined the Pi Network, mining every day with the hope that one day, our patience and dedication would pay off. Some of us, like you, started mining Pi back in secondary school, and now, as university students, we are still waiting for that defining moment when Pi becomes fully useful. The big question remains: What is our hope in Pi Network?
The Long Wait and the Doubts
Pi Network was introduced with a vision—to create a decentralized digital currency that anyone with a smartphone could mine. It sounded revolutionary, and many of us saw it as an opportunity to be part of something big from the beginning. But as time passed, the excitement started fading.
Many people have asked: Is Pi a scam? Will it ever launch for real? Why does it seem like nothing is happening? These concerns are valid. Unlike traditional cryptocurrencies that start trading immediately, Pi Network has taken a unique path, emphasizing security, real user engagement, and regulatory compliance before allowing open transactions.
Why We Still Have Hope
Despite the long wait, there are still reasons to remain hopeful:
​
Mainnet and KYC Progress
- The Pi Core Team has consistently communicated that they are working to ensure compliance and security before launching the Open Mainnet.
- KYC (Know Your Customer) verification has been ongoing, which means they are trying to make sure real people—not bots—own Pi.
Growing Ecosystem
- Several Pi-based applications and marketplaces are already being developed where Pi is used for transactions.
- Businesses in different countries are beginning to accept Pi for goods and services, showing that it has real-world potential.
Community Strength
- With over 50 million engaged pioneers, Pi Network has one of the largest crypto communities. A strong user base is a key ingredient for a successful cryptocurrency.
- Many early crypto projects, like Bitcoin, took years before gaining real value. Pi could follow a similar path.
What Should We Do?
While waiting for Pi’s Open Mainnet, we should:
​
- Stay updated with official announcements and avoid misinformation.
- Continue engaging in the Pi ecosystem by testing Pi apps and supporting businesses that accept Pi.
- Be patient. Many successful crypto projects faced delays but eventually became valuable.
Final Thoughts
The long wait can be frustrating, especially since we have been involved for years without spending a dime. However, Pi Network still has the potential to succeed. The question is: Will we be among those who waited patiently and benefited, or will we give up just before the breakthrough?
Our hope in Pi Network is based on its vision of financial inclusion and a decentralized economy. If the project succeeds, pioneers will be among the first to enjoy the rewards. Until then, we wait with hope and preparation.
