Published on NajmVerse | Written by Najm

📘 Introduction

Among emerging cryptocurrency projects, Pi Network stands out for its ambition to become a functional currency used in everyday life. This article explores that goal from an academic lens and imagines its future market impact.

“Pi Network is not just building a coin — it’s building a culture of accessible digital finance.”

📚 I. Theoretical Framework

Cryptocurrencies fall into two categories:

Investment coins: e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum — used for trading and value storage.
Utility coins: e.g., Stellar, Pi — designed for daily transactions.

To become a daily-use currency, a coin must achieve commercial acceptance, price stability, usability, and regulatory trust.

🎯 II. Pi Network’s Goal

Marketplace: A digital economy for goods/services within the app.
P2P Payments: Direct transfers between users.
dApp Integration: Apps built using Pi as currency.
Merchant Adoption: Real-world usage in local communities.
Mainnet Launch: External trading and liquidity.

“The goal is not just to mine Pi, but to spend it — meaningfully, daily, and globally.”

⚠️ III. Challenges

Not yet listed on major exchanges
Unstable market value
Slow KYC verification
Limited real-world usage

🔮 IV. Hypothetical Scenario

By 2027, Pi Network could launch its Mainnet, secure listings, and build a thriving marketplace. Potential impacts:

Sector	Impact
Digital Payments	Competing with PayPal and Venmo
Financial Inclusion	Empowering the unbanked
Community Economies	Boosting local trade
Tech Innovation	dApps powered by Pi
Investment	Attracting new investor demographics

🧪 V. Research Recommendations

Study user behavior toward utility cryptocurrencies
Analyze merchant adoption models
Assess environmental impact of low-energy coins
Compare Pi with other digital
payment platforms

📝 Conclusion

Pi Network’s ambition to become a daily-use currency could reshape the digital economy. Success depends on overcoming regulatory, technical, and trust-related challenges — and building a vibrant user base.

“Pi’s true value lies not in speculation, but in circulation.”
