    Comments about Pi Network as an Alternative to Bitcoin

    This looks really weird to me, hard to tell if that's a scam since nobody buys Pi but my hypothesis is that the apps collects some data about you to sell them to data brokers and gave you in exchange a premined shitcoin that nobody accept as a payment method. Maybe number will go up but this as ZERO usecase in my humble opinion.
