$PI Although Pi Network may continue to decline further, and it can even be said that it has not yet reached the bottom, because comprehensive compliance and security measures are still not perfect enough to achieve true decentralization. But it is still moving towards its vision. So, what would happen if Pi Network truly realized its vision?

I think, once it fully opens its mainnet as open source, it will evolve from a social practice of mobile mining into a truly global, decentralized Web3 ecosystem, a top-tier blockchain project.
Its core is to democratize and make cryptocurrency accessible, allowing users to participate easily without expensive hardware or professional knowledge. This ecosystem will include various practical applications and tools to meet daily needs such as finance, social, gaming, e-commerce, and services, supporting developers to build decentralized applications and forming a self-sufficient platform.

It will integrate AI-driven features to enhance governance, security, and user experience, such as observing behaviors through AI to adjust incentive mechanisms and achieve evidence-based balance rather than centralized control.

The global user base will undoubtedly exceed 5 billion, crossing cultures and borders, becoming a daily digital currency used for cross-border trade, institutional investment, and community-driven economic activities.

Ultimately, it could function like an “economic operating system,” replacing traditional fragmented finance with stable value, dual-layer accounting (separating internal value and circulation settlement), and quantum-resistant encryption, driving an economic shift from debt-led to contribution-led. As for the price, it is highly speculative, influenced by supply, adoption rate, practicality, and market dynamics. If the vision is fully realized (such as becoming a global trading standard), it could reach $300-400, or even higher. Some extreme consensus views (like GCV consensus value of $314,159) are considered unrealistic, but perhaps they could be achieved.

But the reality is, currently Pi trades at about $0.20 in the closed mainnet. If the mainnet is truly open-sourced and practicality explodes, the ecosystem will gradually rise, which obviously will take several years. I believe many people are willing to wait a few years.
