While it's commendable that the Pi Network claims to have self-funded development without an ICO, transparency remains a major concern. Unlike open-source projects like Bitcoin or Ethereum—whose code, development, and funding histories are publicly auditable—Pi’s operations are largely opaque. Users still can't freely withdraw or trade Pi tokens on major exchanges, raising legitimate questions about liquidity and value.

The fact that users must go through KYC before even having full control over their tokens, yet can’t use them freely, leans more toward data collection than decentralized empowerment.

Yes, many projects raised funds through ICOs—but they did so transparently, allowing the market to decide value. Meanwhile, Pi's long period of closed-network operations and tight control over token flow raises skepticism, not confidence.

A true global currency needs openness, decentralization, and trust—not just a big user number and a slick narrative.
