PI network is a scam targeting noobs.

Hello. i would like to take this opportunity to speak about pi network, and how it is targeting noobs (sorry). let this be a lesson on how to use crypto infrastructure.

first i will go through how i find my coins through decentralized means. When you look on the block explorer for a block chain you can see all transactions and wallets there. not only that but you can also see coins and their contract addresses. so when you look you can see the block chain network, the people using it and what they are using.

I usually cut this process in half by checking web 2 sites like coin gecko or coin market cap. When you look for USDC (i used this example so you KNOW im not shilling A COIN) on coin gecko, you can clearly see the token address for usdc on multiple block chains. right under max supply it goes INFO than under is the contracts. KEEP THIS IN MIND FOR ANYTHING YOU BUY ANYWHERE.

so for usdc on Ethereum is "0xa0b86991c6218b36c1d19d4a2e9eb0ce3606eb48"
and on polygon its "0x3c499c542cef5e3811e1192ce70d8cc03d5c3359"

Now that you can see where the coin and block chain is you should not have any problems sending the coins to the right wallet (thats private) just for fun go on eth block explorer and look up your own wallet address.

so how does this make sense for pi network.

lets check their coin gecko.
UNDER INFO THEY ONLY HAVE A WEBSITE. theres no contract.
thats kinda weird. well lets google the pi network block chain....
when you google "pi network block explorer" you will see a bunch of different paid google ad service sites. but when you google: "pi network contract address" you get nothing. this is simply because its a scam.

YOU CANNOT BUY OR SELL PI NETWORK. you are being mined for data on your phone.

this is also a deeper issue. its not using "proof of work" it asks you when you download it for access to your data. the reason its not using your phone battery like crazy is BEACUSE ITS NOT USING PROCESSING POWER... ever heard of crypto mining viruses?????
they steal your WHOLE GPU. they are also not using proof of stake since theirs no nodes to validate.

im sorry to say it guys but your the product.

i made this post because im seeing alot of bots, the moderators wont do anything. and ive had 2 ppl IRL text me about it now. please educate yourselves on how to spot scams.
