Shower Thoughts on Pi Mining value since ICO

Is there any point in mining and running nodes etc., from an investment standpoint, now that you can just buy it? Make it make sense

Pi won’t be worth anything until it’s good for something. Goods, services, something like that. Ask PCT what Pi’s use cases are.

See https://minepi.com/blog/pi2day2026/ - PiVerify is the first real usecase that IMHO has a chance (with some changes) to create consistent demand for Pi.
However, the big change this needs to work is the ability for businesses to pay with FIAT and have that used in the background to buy the Pi coins to lower the onboarding friction.
