Guessing Pi’s 2030 Price: Anyone’s Bet, Really
Trying to guess what Pi will be worth in 2030 is a real shot in the dark, and you’ll hear all sorts of numbers:

Some folks are super hopeful, thinking Pi could hit $100, $200, $314, or maybe even $500 or more by 2030. That all depends on tons of people using it, lots of cool dApps popping up, and the crypto market being generally happy.

Let’s break this down in simple terms so you can understand it easily.
The post you’re interested in is from Pi Network (@PiCoreTeam
) on X, dated May 14, 2025. It’s about a new project they’ve started called Pi Network Ventures. Here’s what it’s all about in plain language:

*What is Pi Network Ventures?*
Pi Network is a company that created a cryptocurrency called Pi. A cryptocurrency is like digital money you can use online (think of it like Bitcoin, but different). Now, Pi Network has started a new program called Pi Network Ventures, and they’re putting $100 million into it. This money will be used to help new small businesses (called startups) grow.

*What’s the Goal?*
The main idea is to make Pi more useful in the real world. Right now, Pi is mostly something people mine (collect) on their phones, but Pi Network wants it to be used for actual buying and selling—like paying for coffee, shopping online, or using apps. To do this, they’re giving money to startups that can create apps, services, or products that let people use Pi in their everyday lives.

✓ For example:
Imagine an app where you can buy clothes using Pi.

✓ Or a game where you pay with Pi to unlock levels.

✓ Or even a small online bank that lets you save or spend Pi.

*How Will They Use the $100 Million?*

The $100 million is a mix of Pi (their cryptocurrency) and regular money (USD, which is US dollars). They’ll give this money to startups that have good ideas for using Pi in real life. These startups could be working on things like:
✓ *AI* (think of apps that act smart, like a virtual assistant).

✓ *FinTech* (apps for money stuff, like online banking or payments).

✓ *E-commerce* (online shopping).

✓ *Social apps* (like social media or chat apps).

They’re not just focusing on startups that are all about cryptocurrency. Even businesses that aren’t usually into crypto can get the money if they have a good idea to use Pi.

*How Do They Pick the Startups?*

Pi Network Ventures will act like a big investor, similar to how rich companies in a place called Silicon Valley (a famous tech hub in the US) work. They’ll carefully choose startups by:

✓ Looking for ones with the best ideas.

✓ Checking if the startup can grow big and make Pi more useful.

✓ Making sure the startup is serious and has a good plan.

They’ll help startups at different stages—whether they’re just starting out or already growing.

*Why Is This a Big Deal?*

This is a big step for Pi Network because:

✓ It shows they’re serious about making Pi a real, usable digital money—not just something you collect on your phone.

✓ It helps create more apps and services where you can spend Pi, which makes Pi more valuable.

✓ It’s a way to grow the “Pi ecosystem”—basically, making Pi a bigger part of the world economy, where lots of people and businesses use it.

*Some Extra Info About Pi Network*
✓ Pi Network was started by a woman named Dr. Chengdiao Fan, who studied at Stanford (a famous university).

✓ They’ve already got a lot of people using Pi. For example, at an event called PiFest in 2024, they said they had 27,000 sellers and 28,000 test merchants worldwide who were trying out Pi for buying and selling.

✓ But, there’s a small downside: recently, the amount of Pi being traded (bought and sold) dropped by 61.4%, and the total trading value in one day was $813 million. That just means fewer people were trading Pi recently, but the new $100 million project might help bring more interest back.

*In Summary*

Pi Network is spending $100 million to help new businesses create apps and services that let people use Pi in real life—like shopping, gaming, or banking. They’re being smart about picking the best startups to support, and this could make Pi a bigger deal in the future. It’s like they’re planting seeds now so Pi can grow into a big tree that everyone uses!
