$PI Although Pi Network still has room to decline further, and it can be said that it has not yet reached the bottom, because for full compliance and security, these matters are still not entirely ideal, so true decentralization cannot be achieved yet. But it is still heading towards its vision, so what if Pi Network actually achieves its vision?
I believe that once the mainnet is fully open, it will transition from a mobile mining practice to a global decentralized Web3 ecosystem, a top-tier blockchain project.
Its core is to make cryptocurrencies democratic and easily accessible, where users can participate easily without the need for expensive devices or specialized technical knowledge. This ecosystem will include practical applications and tools to meet various daily needs, such as finance, social communication, gaming, e-commerce, and services, with developer support for building decentralized applications, creating a self-sufficient platform.
AI-driven functions will be integrated to enhance governance, security, and user experience, for example by monitoring behavior with AI to adjust incentive mechanisms and achieve evidence-based balance, rather than centralized control.
The global user count will certainly exceed 5 billion, crossing cultures and borders, becoming a daily digital currency used in cross-border trade, institutional investment, and community-led economic activities.
Ultimately, it will serve as an "economic operating system," replacing fragmentation in traditional finance, offering stable value, dual-layer accounting (intrinsic value and traded settlement separated), and quantum-resistant encryption to drive the shift from a debt-based economy to a contribution-based economy.
As for the price, it is highly speculative, influenced by supply volume, user adoption, practical functions, and market dynamics. If the vision is fully realized (such as becoming a global trading standard), the price could reach $300-400, or even higher.
Some extreme views on consensus (like a GCV value of $314,159) are considered unrealistic, but perhaps they could be achieved.
The reality is that the current Pi price in the closed network trades at around $0.20, and if the network is fully opened and usage surges, the system will gradually rise, which of course will take several years, and I believe many people are willing to wait several years.
