Crypto - A Slice of the Pi ??

I am very sure there will be many Hivians who have mined Pi in the past and perhaps still do at this present time.

Let me share my take

Firstly.... Tokenomics. That dreadful beast that 98% of 'influencers' ignore or evade discussing. Along of course future token unlocks .... but that is a story for another day.

Current circulating supply 5.96B
Maximum Supply 100.00B

So in a nutshell not even 6% of tokens are in circulation with the other 94 % held by the developers for mining rewards, Community project sponsorships and 20% for the development team (20 B)
White Paper

Pre-launch price currently on LBank exchange...between $75 - $80

So based on the 'current' trading price and the tokens in circulation when this lists on the 20th February it will have a market capitalization of about $442 Billion.... STRAIGHT INTO 2ND LARGEST MARKETCAP ...USURPING ETHEREUM INTO THIRD PLACE.

If I was in the position to .... I would slap all my tokens on at $35 and pray some greater fool snaps them up. The proceeds would just buy me a few more .... substantially few more satoshi's in the king ... BTC.
