Locking 100% of My Pi Coin Until 2028—Was It the Smartest Crypto Move?

For a long time, I had doubts about my locked Pi Coin, wondering if it was truly worth the wait. With February 2028 feeling so far away, I questioned whether my decision was the right one.

A member of the Pi Network community has shared his thoughts on why he believes locking his Pi Coins until 2028 could be a "smartest crypto move".

In a post on LinkedIn, the contributor explained that he had poured "a long time" considering whether or not he should have locked his Pi Coins, especially with February 2028 feeling "so far away". He also said that he had wondered "several times" if he made the right decision.

However, the contributor went on to explain that he thinks those who were able to lock their Pi 100% for three years will be in the best position when the future of Pi Network unfolds. He highlighted several reasons why he believes this to be the case.

Firstly, he noted that a locked supply means less Pi in circulation, which could drive demand higher once Open Mainnet is fully operational. Secondly, he pointed out that unlike many cryptocurrencies which were funded by venture capitalists or had a small group of "whales" holding a large percentage of coins, Pi was mined by everyday people.

"This makes it one of the most fair and inclusive blockchain projects I've encountered, which is a refreshing change," the contributor stated.

He also shared that one of Pi's founders had previously mentored the founder of Ethereum, which speaks to the level of expertise behind the project.

Finally, the contributor noted that the biggest rewards usually come to those who believe and commit for the long term.

"Thinking back to Bitcoin, the earliest believers saw massive returns because they held on despite FOMO and doubts. What if Pi follows a similar trajectory?" he mused.

According to the contributor, by locking Pi for the long term, people are not just holding a token but a vision. He added that they are also positioning themselves to benefit when the true value of Pi is unlocked.
