Under the mainnet, there are two phases:
1.close mainnnet and
2.open mainnet( when pi coin will have value, that is, you can sell).

We have been in the *close* mainnet since December last year.
That statement above means that we are moving into the *open mainnet in 2023*

Don’t sell off your hard mined Pi. It will go live and many exchanges would list it. Congrats Pioneers. All the best!

“We’re so excited for what’s to come in 2023—another year of building towards our shared goal of reaching the next PERIOD of MAINNET.

We know you’re eager, and so are we...”

We can all pontificate about our thoughts on what value we think the Pi network will achieve. But what we should do is just cross our fingers and trust in the founders vision and their competency. This isn't a part-time project that they are experimenting with. This is something that they have devoted years of their life and the success of this project is more crucial for them then any of us. I honestly believe that while the pain of the waiting is excruciating it will be well worth the wait. Just as the jet age, the internet changed the world, the Pi network will change the way crypto is viewed or understood.

They would have figured out the finances, governing laws of different countries, partnership with organizations etc etc when they decided to delve into the project. They have run into some obstacles with the KYC for each and every pioneer and they are busy trying to resolve it. I have been involved with cryptos for a little while now. Not too long but not a newbie either. But one main difference that is noticeable is the huge following that the Pi network has achieved compared to any other crypto. And this has to mean something when it comes to gauging the measure of success this project will have.

There is so much speculation on what the value of Pi would be when open mainnet is launched. The depressingly pessimists peg it at a value of a one to two figure (thankfully in USD) and the widly optimists are willing to peg it at a value of as high as six figures. Truth is no one really knows. They are just speculatng based on 'logic', maths or hope. But one thing that I feel that people seem to forget is that the founders would have had a goal right from the inception of the project. A world wide project like this would have had a roadmap to begin with.
