For me, the only way pi network becomes legit in business and finance is if you can use it like actual money—buying stuff, paying people, or maybe even earning some interest. Right now, it's a lot of hype, and yeah, it's easy to mine, but what's the point if you can't actually spend it in the real world?

Some of my friends are excited about using pi network for micro-payments or, like, rewarding users in apps or games. That's cool and all, but unless more stores or online companies start accepting it, it just feels like you're collecting digital coins for nothing. Personally, if pi coins could pay for my coffee or give me a discount on my music subscriptions, I'd be all-in. But until there's a big push for businesses to actually accept pi network as payment, it kinda stays as an online points system in my eyes.

If they figure out partnerships with real companies, then okay, we've got something interesting. Otherwise, it'll stay in the "maybe someday" pile for me. But I'm always keeping an eye out for news!
