Pi is a new cryptocurrency that is for everyday people and can be mined (or earned) using a mobile device.
A cryptocurrency is a new form of digital money that is controlled, managed, and secured by a community rather than a government or bank. Currently, you can mine (or earn) Pi by helping to secure the currency and by growing Pi's trust network. Most cryptocurrencies (like Bitcoin) have been very difficult for everyday users to access and use. However, the Pi puts the power of cryptocurrency in the palm of your hand.
