Who Gets to Rewrite the Crypto Origin Story?

In October 2008, two things quietly entered the digital world. One was Bitcoin’s whitepaper—a document that would spark a global shift in how we think about money. The other was a Twitter account created by Dr. Nicolas Kokkalis. That overlap isn’t just trivia. It’s a moment worth pausing for. Bitcoin’s birth is well-known. But Nicolas’s quiet entry into the digital space that same month adds a strange symmetry. Years later, he would go on to build Pi Network—a project that doesn’t just echo Bitcoin’s ideals but claims to upgrade them. The Timing That Raises Eyebrows A Coin and a Creator Enter the Scene Imagine two digital seeds planted in the same soil, at the same time. One grows into a decentralized currency. The other, into a system that challenges its predecessor. That’s the setup we’re looking at. Bitcoin introduced peer-to-peer finance and decentralization. But it came with limits: slow transactions, energy-heavy mining, and no built-in identity layer. Pi Network steps in with a ...

Pi Network Welcomes 60+ Million Users Into Web3

At Token2049 Singapore 2025, Dr. Chengdiao Fan took the stage and delivered a keynote that felt more like a homecoming than a presentation. It wasn’t just another crypto update, it was a moment that marked the end of a long, steady climb and the beginning of something bigger. After six years of building, refining, and educating, Pi Network officially opened its doors to the Web3 world with 60 million engaged users. Let’s walk through how we got here. Back in 2019, Pi launched its mobile app on March 14. It was simple, accessible, and within months, a million people had joined. That early wave proved something important, crypto didn’t have to be complicated to be meaningful. By 2021, the community had grown to 25 million. Pi entered its Enclosed Network phase, a time for testing, refining, and preparing for global expansion. It wasn’t flashy, but it was necessary. The team focused on building a foundation that could actually support real-world use. In 2023, Pi rolled out its...

What If Satoshi Backs Pi Network? A Bold Shift That Could Change Crypto Forever

Hello Pioneers, let’s imagine something bold, but not far-fetched. There’s a whale out there holding over 1 million BTC, worth around $124.7 billion today. Some call him Satoshi. Others call him “Satosho Nakamoto” on Arkham. Either way, this person has enough Bitcoin to move markets. Now picture this: instead of selling or staying silent, he strategically rotates part of that BTC into Pi Network, a mobile-mined crypto with over 50 million users, built for real-world use and aligned with Satoshi’s original dream: decentralized money for everyone. Why Pi Network Makes Sense Bitcoin is like digital gold, valuable, secure, but not ideal for daily transactions. Pi, on the other hand, is like the smartphone version of crypto. You mine it on your phone. You use it for payments. It’s designed for mass adoption. Satoshi’s vision wasn’t just wealth, it was freedom and access. Pi delivers that. A BTC-to-PI rotation wouldn’t be a dump, it’d be a bridge. Like upgrading from a classic ca...
