Hello, welcome to another video with me, Christian Rauchenwald.
[2]
Now in this video, I'm going to tell you if and how you can withdraw
[6]
your Pi coins or how you can exchange them into real currency.
[10]
And the reason why I want to talk about this is because since I initially
[14]
started mining PI in August, 2020, so not that long ago, I've invited
[19]
a couple hundred users to Pi, as you can see on the screen right there.
[24]
And since then, the number one question that I've seen day after day
[28]
in the Pi chats, is people asking how to withdraw PI, so how to exchange
[33]
their PI coins into a FIAT currency, like US dollar, Euro, and so on.
[38]
And I want to point out that it's important that you watch this video
[41]
to the end, because otherwise you may end up making it the wrong decision.
[45]
So let's start with the number one question.
[47]
How can you withdraw your Pi coins?
[50]
And the answer to that is currently you can not withdraw your Pi
[55]
coins because Pi is currently in phase two out of three phases.
[60]
So it's not a full cryptocurrency yet, and it's not listed on any exchanges.
[64]
Now, I can hear you asking.
[66]
So if I cannot withdraw it, what can I do with PI?
[69]
At the moment, you cannot do anything with PI.
[71]
You cannot transfer it.
[73]
All you can basically they do is mine it for free.
[76]
Think of it like in early Bitcoin days when people mined thousands of
[80]
Bitcoins on their computer, but they actually couldn't use it for anything.
[83]
Now does that mean that Pi is worthless or useless and that there
[87]
is no point in mining Pi at all?
[89]
No, it means the exact opposite.
[92]
You are among the pioneers among the first couple of million users that
[95]
signed up for PI and as a thank you or as a token of appreciation and also
[100]
to build an active community, and a certain amount of PI in circulation,
[105]
you currently receive PI for free.
[107]
Other people eventually will not be able to get their coins for free anymore.
[112]
So it's important that you take advantage off this opportunity and that you simply
[117]
spent the five seconds every day to open your Pi app and push the mining button
[122]
so you mine for another 24 hours, and you receive your free Pi coins every day.
[128]
Now assuming you continue mining pie coins, the question is when
[132]
will Pi have an actual value.
[134]
So when will you be able to withdraw it and also how much will it be worth
[139]
now to start with the first question.
[141]
Pi will achieve a real value once it can be traded on exchanges like
[146]
crypto.com, Binance and so on, and that will happen once PI reaches phase three.
[152]
Now, if you want to have a detailed answer, I recommend that
[154]
you read the white paper that you can find on the PI website.
[157]
And there's also a link to it in the description down below.
[160]
But to provide you with a simplified answer.
[162]
Currently Pi has roughly 8 million users.
[165]
So that's 1 million more, since I joined PI in August two months ago.
[170]
And the way things look now until PI achieves a total of 10 million
[174]
users, all pioneers, so all users that sign up right now, will be able to
[179]
mine free Pi coins and receive free coins every day for pushing a button.
[184]
Now, in addition to the 10 million user limit that may change, we
[187]
will see about that in the future.
[189]
There is also the fact that the PI developers need to finish
[193]
some of their work so that the nodes are tested and so on.
[196]
And that everything's working and to actually turn PI into a fully
[200]
grown cryptocurrency and have it listed on certain exchanges.
[205]
So it's possible that Pi will be tradable and exchangeable by the end of the year.
[209]
It's also possible, that it will take another year or maybe even longer.
[213]
The point again is that you currently have a great opportunity to jump
[217]
in early and get your Pi coins for free without risking anything.
[221]
All you have to do is open your Pi up once per day on your phone and
[225]
push the lightning bolt button, so you mine for another 24 hours.
[229]
Ideally, if you want to earn more Pi per hour.
[232]
You'll tell your friends and family about it and have them use your invitation code.
[236]
So you actually end up earning more Pi while you can still get it for free.
[242]
And to answer the second part of the question, how
[244]
much is PI going to be worth?
[246]
That's something that nobody can answer you right now, because it
[250]
depends on a lot of different things.
[252]
The longer the free mining continues, the more Pi will be in circulation.
[257]
So therefore, there will be way more supply, which would mean each coin
[261]
will be worth a little bit less.
[263]
To provide you with a different example, we can look at the Tesla stock in 2020.
[268]
During March, it fell to roughly $300 per stock.
[271]
Eventually it climbed up to over $2,000 per stock, and then the
[276]
stock were split one to five.
[278]
So if you had one Tesla stock worth, let's say exactly $2,500 from one
[284]
day to the other, you had five Tesla stocks, but each was only worth $500.
[289]
So that would be a simple example of how the supply of something in this
[292]
case, Tesla stocks, but in our case, PI coins will have an effect on the market.
[297]
Now another thing that's important to understand this just because
[300]
Pi will be listed on an exchange, doesn't mean that it's smart to sell
[305]
your Pi coins on day number one.
[307]
Again, if we go with the Tesla stock example, imagine that somehow you
[311]
got one Tesla stock per day for free by pushing a button in the app,
[315]
but you cannot sell it right now.
[317]
You and hundreds or millions of other users, get free Tesla stock every day.
[322]
And let's say on the 1st of January, you will be allowed to trade it.
[325]
If now on the 1st of January, everybody tries to sell their stock.
[329]
There will be nobody there to buy all that stock and the price will
[333]
instantly fall from $500 per stock to $1 per stock or $2 per stock.
[339]
And the same would happen with Pi coins.
[341]
The moment Pi achieves phase three and you can exchange and trade it on platforms
[345]
like crypto.com and Binance, there will be a set upon or agreed upon price.
[350]
And if then everybody just tries to sell it.
[353]
Nobody will be there to buy.
[355]
So some people may not be able to sell it at all.
[357]
And for the other people, the price will plummet instantly.
[361]
So it's not the smart thing to do.
[363]
You have to see Pi for what it is and what it is, it's a great
[366]
opportunity to get a lot of free Pi coins that you can then use longterm.
[372]
Yes, when PI launches, you may want to sell some of your Pi coins instantly
[376]
to get some money, but you also want to keep some of them longterm.
[379]
Again, let's take Bitcoin for an example here.
[382]
Initially Bitcoins were worth almost nothing.
[384]
Then they eventually were worth $1, $2, $10, a hundred dollars, $300.
[390]
Nowadays we're looking at a Bitcoin value of more than $10,000 per coin.
[395]
Now imagine you would have gotten 500, 5,000 or more Bitcoin for
[398]
free when it initially started.
[401]
And you sold everything on day one for two or $3, you would
[404]
probably regrett it a lot today.
[406]
And the same applies to Pi.
[408]
Now I'm not saying that Pi will be worth $10,000 per coin because that,
[413]
again depends on supply and demand and how people use Pi in the daily lives.
[417]
If everybody just holds their Pi coins and nobody's willing to
[420]
sell them, it's also not great.
[422]
The key is that once Pi achieves phase three, that you
[426]
look for how you can use it.
[428]
Is there an online store that accepts Pi as a payment method.
[432]
Well, and maybe use it to buy your next iPhone or you order a pizza
[435]
online or something like that, to give it a real purpose in our lives.
[440]
Use it to send money to friends.
[441]
So instead of sending them a regular wire transfer, send them Pi coins and
[445]
they can then cash them out, for example.
[447]
So to give Pi a real purpose in this world, and with that, you will
[451]
help increase the value of PI, which again, will increase the value of
[455]
the remaining Pi coins that you have left after sending a couple hundred
[459]
coins to a friend, for example.
[461]
So to sum things up right.
[462]
Currently, it's not possible to sell your PI coin or withdraw the money from your PI
[467]
wallet, but that does not mean that Pi is worthless than that you should not mine.
[472]
It means the exact opposite the longer you mine now, and the more coins you
[476]
get, the more money, you will actually have once PI achieves phase number
[481]
free, but you definitely should not give away all your Pi coins once
[485]
it's possible, but you should keep at least half or even more your Pi coins
[490]
longterm to benefit from an increased value over the next couple of years.
[495]
Now last but not least.

[498]
I'm going to put it in the card up here where I answer a couple of other
[501]
very common Pi related question.
[503]
So you actually know what you're getting into.
[506]
As always, thanks for watching.
[507]
See you in one of my other videos until then.
[509]
Bye bye.
