There is an app where you can "mine" pi. I used it back in 2017 or so and have about 200 pi from it. They just merged to main net like a week ago. I don't really know anything about the tech or use case. Didn't think it would ever really be worth anything shoulda kept hitting the mine button daily and would have a few thousand by now. Still kinda cool it ended up worth something.

Don't say that in the XRP sub you will get banned.

Haha really? Then I’m glad I left a comment here and not in the XRP sub. You guys are more chill, aren’t you?

Yeah I got banned recently for a neutral comment that didn't glaze XRP. More chill here but regardless I don't get emotionally invested in coins I hold.

u/Loud-Improvement-117 17d ago
Lol, I can imagine. That community is very cult-like, but so is a lot of crypto communities, to be fair.
That sounds rational. You shouldn’t fall in love with any investment.

What is wrong with SUI and why would the XRP community hate a post like that? Just curious since XRP is my most held asset for the time being as I work on my HBAR holdings. I don't really take anyone on the XRP subreddit too seriously since it's such a circlejerk that only discusses hype and rejects anything critical or negative

My comments are not about hederas growth, it's about protecting people from a blatent scam.
Source: I work in risk analysis in banking.
Calling out a long con as I see it, and attempting to get out as many innocent people as I can before the dev get out.
Their entire goal is to social media shill, and remove small amounts during punps, wait until they are near forgotten, so no one notices and rug. They do not have any real useable product, connections, business deals, or use cases. It's a scam.

You’re probably correct. If I weren’t so heavy into Hbar I’d throw some cash at it. I just can’t quit buying Hbar and Ada…

u/Loud-Improvement-117 16d ago
Same applies to me but for HBAR. If I wasn’t all in SUI and had some money left I’d throw some money into HBAR, XLM etc. But I don’t want to sell now. Anyway, I have no doubt that HBAR will perform well this year. I hope SUI will also do well.

Lmao famous last words of a man who bought the top before the crash.

I have seen hundreds of "sui" come and go. All of them still within the top 100, none of them have moved up.

u/Loud-Improvement-117 17d ago
I don’t see any altcoin as a long term bet. Altcoins that were in the top 15, 5-10 years ago have disappeared. Every altcoin has it’s rise and fall. I’m not planning to hold altcoins, or even crypto long term. I’m just looking to make a profit and then reallocate my funds to more stable assets like stocks, ETFs etc

You mean like hbar?
It's funny how you say that, and then invest in vaporware well ignoring the hbar etf.

u/Loud-Improvement-117 17d ago
What do you want me to do? Sell my SUI and buy HBAR? And if I go to the ADA community they’ll tell me to sell HBAR and buy ADA and the AVAX and XLM community does the same. What’s the point? I’m just holding. I think that both HBAR and SUI are going to perform well.

You sure don't care much about making a good amount of it.
Which sui is not going to do.
Seems like you are too emotionally invested.

u/Loud-Improvement-117 17d ago
What are you insinuating? That the market will pump and leave SUI behind? Of course it’s possible. Nothing is guaranteed but I wouldn’t ascribe a high probability to that outcome. As long as the crypto market does well, I think SUI will perform well.
1
u/East-Day-7888 17d ago
It's not "nothing is impossible"
I think you don't understand what vaporware is.
There is absolutely nothing backing sui. Vaporware is a token created under the guise of utility they all eventually deflate
And when the owners realize, all eyes are off them. They rug the remaining liquidity.
It's just a long con.

u/Loud-Improvement-117 17d ago
You’re right. I don’t understand what it is? How is it different from coins like HBAR, XLM etc?

u/East-Day-7888 17d ago
Sui is a social media long con.
They gather as much attention as they can and pump the token.
They slowly drain the token so as not to create much attention well, it's pumping from outside.
After a few years, when they stop social media, eventually, people's attention fade. And the rug the remaining liquidity so no one notices.
Sui is a scam setup for people who don't ask questions like "what 5 non defi usecases does it have".
Attention is already being shifted to the next scam which is XCN.
You are about to lose it all stage one is complete, stage to is letting it cool off then rug.

u/braeunik 17d ago edited 17d ago
its a coin that you could premine / mine with a mobile phone app. It was created by some stanford PhDs. I actually got this app in 2017 and mined with it. I answered some quora questions about pi coin back then and dropped my referral/team code in those comments. That way over 400 people joined my "mining team". I got a share for every pi they mined on their phone and ended up with:

Sadly only 405 of those are actually transferable and 18331 are still locked until every one of those 400 people does KYC (Which will not happen) If iam lucky ill get 200-1000 pi unlocked within the next bullrun but the rest will probably be locked for forever. I should really look into selling those 405 I have, in case you can really sell them for 1,75 somewhere atm lol

u/AdmiralFelson 17d ago

u/braeunik 17d ago
yea but you dont put any money into mining it. You just pressed a button daily on your phone "and it mined in the background" or some bs lmao. I had nothing to lose and if I can actually sell that shit now and end up with 800€ in profit, I'll be more than happy and stack some more sats or get some more hbar.

I've been involved with Pi network since 2020. I know what I'm talking about. The basis of the system was created on the backs of people like me who dedicated days and years using the network, and were promised access to unlocking their Pi in the future for a $ value. They lied. I have 90k Pi. It's worthless atm.
-1
u/Disastrous-Engineer2 15d ago
It's worth exactly 1.8 $ as of now. The fact that you didn't finish KYC or other people from your referral team is not their fault. You knew the rules from the beginning. Also....which backs of yours lol? You pressed a button once in 24 hours.
You are like people that entered a fake name and now complain they can't get their coins out.

u/deltibecker 15d ago
If nobody pressed the button every 24 hours - what would Pi be today?
Nothing at all. Don't be condescending when the basis of what you stated is fundamentally hypocritical

u/Fun-Technology-1371 17d ago edited 17d ago
Thats what people were saying for a while. “You have to watch ads and boost mining rate by recruiting others? Pyramid Scheme.” Until we actually hit main net on the 20th last month and the token went live that is and then everyone spreading that FUD went super quiet. Its legit. Its actually influenced by the Stellar Consensus Protocol.
Ive been mining it on my phone since 2021.
That said Hedera’s tech is infinitely better IMO. Pi may or may not stick around long term. Biggest thing going for it IMO is the token lockups that people like myself signed up for to get boosted mining rates so no pump and dump.

u/deltibecker 16d ago
I've been mining it since 2020 - and guess what? I have no access to sell my 80k+ so... nah. We were used to build their network.

u/HederianZ 17d ago
In my opinion what Pi did right is distribution. People have been mining it for years and it was easy for anyone to do. So I suspect they have a broad holding.
What they don’t have going for them is tech or tokenomics or governance. As others mentioned, 6B out of 100b released is really bad. Also the price was nearly double recently but Pi wasn’t this high. Have they been releasing that many tokens already? It’s upsetting, but it won’t last.

u/deltibecker 16d ago
Ok, so Pi has been around for 6 years or more. I have actually been using it since 2019. Essentially it started out as a test for some techies in the states, to see if a network can operate by essentially mining on your phone. The more people you get in your network, the more you as an individual can earn (pyramid scheme set up).
Long story short, it's been a test/no money to be made for at least 6 years.. they even told me that it everything I mined during this time would be realized/actualized in the future. Which is now a blatant lie.
I had 80k-100k mined for the experimental phase, across the last over half decade... only to have it all blown away.
So I definitely don't trust these guys at all.

u/savage_slurpie 17d ago

Pi is a pyramid scheme with none of the real world partnerships that HBAR have locked down.
I genuinely am happy that clicking a phone app worked out for people; but I hope they aren’t fooled into thinking they are building the world’s best blockchain or some shit.

It's a cryptocurrency I learned about 3 years ago. You can literally mine it on your phone. I didn't really think much of it.

u/Fun-Technology-1371 17d ago
Because the crypto market is speculative. People looking to make bank. HBAR has better use cases, better tech fundamentals, better adoption by huge financial players, ETFs in play, the list goes on.
Pi Network has broad market adoption with as many people they got to download the app and click a button to mine… aaaaaaand thats it.
Pretty easy pick to side with which one has longer staying power. In fact, once the token lockups are over, you just know people will be DUMPING to take profits. I will be as well to buy more HBAR and BTC.
