Understanding Pi Network and Its Limitations

Pi Network is a cryptocurrency with a dynamic supply of up to 35 billion coins, in contrast to Bitcoin's fixed supply of 21 million, which is crucial for its value. To transfer Pi to its mainnet, users must undergo Know Your Customer (KYC) verification, a step that goes against the original decentralized ethos of Bitcoin. Additionally, Pi Network faces liquidity issues, as its daily trading volume is low, meaning significant sales could lead to drastic price reductions. The challenges surrounding Pi Network underscore the differences with established cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin in terms of reliability and value.
