Pi Network runs on the Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP), a setup that's way more energy-friendly and scales better than Bitcoin's power-hungry blockchain. Bitcoin transactions burn through massive amounts of electricity—SCP flips that script entirely.

What started as another mobile mining experiment has evolved into something more layered. The tech foundation gives it an edge over traditional proof-of-work chains, especially when you consider the environmental cost of securing networks. SCP doesn't need mining farms sucking up energy grids.

Whether Pi lives up to the hype depends on execution, but the architecture? It's built different from day one.

I've heard the saying about Pi many times, SCP indeed saves power, but in practice... execution is the key.

Honestly, if Pi can really be implemented successfully, that would be amazing. But for now, it's still more talk than action.

SCP is indeed environmentally friendly, but PI is still just an air coin. Only truly usable ones count.

Sounds good, but can Pi really be implemented? I'm still skeptical. --- The environmental angle sounds impressive, but what about reality? Let's wait for the mainnet to launch. --- SCP is definitely much more energy efficient than PoW, I agree with that. It's just that Pi's user base seems a bit shaky. --- Yet another project with advanced tech but poor execution. Want to bet if it can survive the next bull run? --- No matter how fancy the architecture, you still need an ecosystem, otherwise it's just a castle in the air. --- I've been mining for almost three years anyway, just for fun since it didn't cost me anything. --- The environmental angle definitely hits a pain point, but isn't the coin price the real indicator? --- SCP is definitely elegant, much easier to understand than BFT and all that. --- The thing with these kinds of projects is the risk of ending up as vaporware. Pi kind of feels like that right now. --- There's nothing wrong with it in theory, but the key is the team's execution. That's what really matters.

Another "we are different" story—it sounds all too familiar. SCP is indeed energy-efficient, but can the on-chain TVL and real transaction volume speak for themselves? Honestly, we've seen plenty of cases where being eco-friendly alone doesn't make money.

Laughing and then crying, Pi is telling stories again. As for SCP power saving, it sounds nice, but why is its liquidity even drier than Bitcoin's? To put it bluntly, no matter how elegant the technical architecture is, it can’t beat market reality. Don’t let the "eco-friendly" card cloud your judgment. Let’s wait until Pi gets listed on exchanges before doing the math. For now, it’s all just a PPT ecosystem.

actually, the true paradigm shift here isn't just about energy efficiency—it's the algorithmic beauty of how SCP fundamentally reimagines consensus through byzantine fault tolerance. the topological implications are fascinating, tbh

ngl those Bitcoin mining farms are really outrageous, this Pi SCP protocol sounds pretty good? Just not sure if it can actually be implemented in the end.

ngl, this set of SCP from Pi sounds pretty good, but it only matters if it actually gets put to use. --- Yet another energy-friendly promise... Why do so many projects say this? --- Alright, the architecture looks good. Now let's see if it can actually be implemented. --- Bitcoin really does use a lot of electricity; on this point, Pi definitely has some ideas. --- The architecture is novel, sure, but can they actually get enough users? --- Gotta say, Pi has really thought through the environmental aspect, but execution is what counts. --- SCP really is better than PoW, but what about the ecosystem? --- Sounds great, just worried it’s all talk and no action again.

Damn, someone finally explained Pi's technical architecture clearly. SCP really crushes Bitcoin's mining model.
