Final Thoughts

Pi network coin is a new social cryptocurrency that is protected and supported by everyday people. Developed by a team of PhD and graduates from Stanford University, Pi can be easily mined on smartphones without any expensive devices, or battery consumption. The main idea is to create an inclusive online ecosystem, where ordinary people can mine digital coins.

To sum up, there are important advantages:

1. Simplicity. A user who has never heard of Bitcoin before can mine and use cryptocurrency;
2. Availability. The number of mined coins does not depend on the power of the device, the mining process does not require a complex device;
3. Fair earnings. Users who participate in the development of the platform are rewarded.

For sure, Pi Network is a great experiment in the world of digital money. If the Pi team keeps developing the project, it will be a great evolution in the crypto sphere.
