    Chengdiao Fan is the co-founder and Head of Product for Pi Network. She started the project in 2018 with fellow Stanford graduates Nicolas Kokkalis and Vincent McPhillip. 
    About Chengdiao Fan
    • Education and background: Fan earned a Ph.D. in anthropological sciences from Stanford University. Her research focused on human-computer interaction and social computing.
    • Role at Pi Network: She is the Head of Product and applies her expertise in social behavior and group dynamics to the Pi Network's blockchain technology and user ecosystem. 
    About Pi Network
    • Pi Network is a cryptocurrency and developer platform that allows users to "mine" a new coin, Pi, from their mobile phones. The project was launched in 2019 to make cryptocurrency more accessible to everyday people.
    • While the network has millions of users, it has faced skepticism due to the coin not yet being listed on major exchanges and a lack of transparency regarding its goals.
    • However, Pi Network has started to transition toward its "Open Mainnet" phase, which aims to move the cryptocurrency to a fully decentralized blockchain

    are all cryptocurrencies heading toward tokens becoming the basic unit of exchange eg in 2049?


    Whether cryptocurrency tokens will become the basic unit of exchange by 2049 is highly uncertain, with several major factors pointing both toward and away from that outcome. While tokens have undeniable potential for innovation in specific areas, the path to replacing conventional currencies is hindered by issues like volatility, regulation, and scalability. It is far more likely that a diverse, multi-layered financial system will exist, with different forms of digital money serving distinct purposes. 
    Factors favoring tokens as a unit of exchange
    • Growing ecosystem: The use of crypto tokens has exploded beyond simple digital currency into diverse sectors like decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), gaming, and supply chain management. Smart contracts, which are built on tokens, can automate and streamline agreements, removing the need for middlemen.
    • Speed and low cost: On-chain transactions using tokens can be nearly instant and significantly cheaper than traditional cross-border payments. Platforms built on faster networks like Solana are continuing to push this efficiency.
    • Access to the unbanked: Decentralized finance can provide financial services, such as lending and savings, to populations that lack access to traditional banking systems.
    • Community-driven innovation: The open-source nature of many crypto projects fosters rapid innovation, with communities of developers and investors collaborating to build new systems.

    Factors hindering tokens from becoming a basic unit of exchange
    • Volatility: Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin have historically experienced extreme price volatility, making them unsuitable as a stable unit of account for daily commerce.
    • Regulatory uncertainty: Governments worldwide are still defining how to regulate cryptocurrencies. While regulation could legitimize the market, overregulation could also stifle innovation and limit growth.
    • Scalability issues: Some major blockchain networks have struggled with scaling, leading to slow transaction speeds and high fees, though solutions are being implemented.
    • The dominance of stablecoins and CBDCs: The most probable candidates for widespread digital exchange are stablecoins and Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs).
      • Stablecoins are pegged to fiat currency like the US dollar, making them much less volatile and far more viable for everyday payments than free-floating tokens.
      • CBDCs are digital versions of a nation's fiat money, issued and controlled by a central bank. They would provide the safety and backing of a government, a factor private tokens will never possess.
    • Institutional resistance: Traditional finance and governments have a vested interest in maintaining the existing system. The implementation of tokenized deposits by major banks is a way for legacy institutions to adopt blockchain efficiency while retaining control and their role as intermediaries


    The most likely future: A multi-layered financial ecosystem
    Instead of all crypto tokens becoming a single unit of exchange, a more probable scenario for 2049 is a fragmented ecosystem with different types of digital assets fulfilling different roles: 
    • Fiat currency and CBDCs: For everyday payments, most people and businesses will likely use digital versions of their national currency (CBDCs) or traditional electronic payments. This system offers stability, consumer protection, and government oversight.
    • Stablecoins: These will continue to serve as a bridge between the traditional financial system and the crypto economy, as well as a fast, low-cost method for cross-border payments.
    • Niche utility tokens: Specialized tokens will power specific ecosystems, from Web3 gaming to supply chain management. For example, you might use a token to rent out your unused computing resources, but you wouldn't use it to buy groceries.
    • Investment assets: Highly volatile "free-floating" cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum will continue to be used primarily as investment vehicles, digital commodities, and a store of value, rather than a basic currency

    Bolivian Quaker Education Fund - "Health Care in Bolivia "- https://www.bqef.org/events-1 (but why is this event not listed here presently?).  I and World Univ & Sch won't be participating in seeking to stay alive ...


    Dear Bolivian Quaker Education Fund, and Rebecca, (Sid Mazumdar HHS, in the greater DC area & Ed Smyth MD, affiliated with Kaiser Permanente NorCal, attorney Shawn Flaherty, Lt. John Tadler Pgh police and re FBI workshop in 2013, Peter Norvig, Google AI director, Friends' David Matchett, Paul Jolly, and Eric Myers), 

    Thanks for the reminder just now to "Health Care in Bolivia "- https://www.bqef.org/events-1 (but why is this event not listed here presently?).  I and World Univ & Sch won't be participating in seeking to stay alive (eg even from quajer international organized crime tragically), and with a potential US federal investigation going on into the SF quajer meeting and Pacific YM +). And greetings from Friendly Quaker-informed MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School WUaS, which seeks to create Medical Schools in each of all ~200 countries and in their main languages, so in Bolivia World University and School - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Bolivia (from https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States) and possibly in more languages than Spanish there (eg possibly in Quechua, Aymara, and Guaraní +), and thanks partly to Information Technologies.. ... Perhaps this will occur even, brainstorming-wise, in the back of Toyota Ambulance Vans and with Toyota Humanoid Robot MD professors of surgery and all other medical specialties - and with Bolivians, and as WUaS seeks to collaborate with Bolivians (some of 12.41 million people) to potentially first develop our online Medical Schools with actual MDs in approximately 24 main specialities (and see https://g.co/gemini/share/e72b8453133b where Gemini AI says 24 is the average # of medical MD specialities taught in US teaching hospitals). Online Bolivia WUaS for all of our planned free wiki schools for people-to-people open wiki-teaching and wiki-learning be in all the ~37 languages of Bolivia with time ... and potentially in the WUaS Medical Schools with Toyota Humanoid Robot MD professors of surgery + working in these languages - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Hospital AND https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_School and especially in a #RealisticVirtualEarthForSurgery (on #TwitterX and #Linkedin) and in a #VirtualBolivia  #ForBolivia  - and again at Bolivia World University and School - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Bolivia. It's possible that WUaS will do this in collaboration with Kaiser Permanente health care organization too, which is in 8 US states presently. (And WUaS brainstorming-wise is exploring making such online WUaS Medical Schools in the back of Toyota Ambulance vans available in, for example, the Black townships in South Africa - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2025/08/african-penguin.html - for example too). 

    In growing a WUaS abolition movement worldwide (to abolish the wrongful buying and selling of people in the illegal sex, drugs, violence, car theft etc industries internationally, and their latent networks of violence), and in seeking to code for most of 7.9 billion people on the planet from - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - and beginning with speakers of all 7159 living and languages and in ~200 countries, part of WUaS seeking to create a Bolivia World Univ & Sch abolition movement -  https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Bolivia - for free to students' Bachelor, AA, PhD, Law, MD, IB high school or similar, and Master's degrees -  would be to protect students, and Bolivian Universitians (again, from the wrongful buying and selling of people in the illegal sex, drugs, violence, car theft + industries internationally and their latent networks of violence ... by growing a WUaS abolition movement worldwide )... and thus to seek to abolish or at least knock back international organized crime ...and even sadly among unprogrammed and other branches of Quakers / Friends and quajers too ... (and with deep concerns about this re the SF Quaker Meeting on 9th street, and re the AFSC offices above it), Pacific Yearly Meeting, FGC, and in Quaker groups in Britain and Europe as well ...and with WUaS having sought a US federal investigation in the SF Quaker Meeting + in some of these regards...

    WUaS seeks to protect people, kids and babies especially, and is also seeking with time to create 7.9 billion avatar agent electronic health records #AvatarAgentelectronicHealthRecords and for extreme longevity and aging reversal genetic drug therapies , FDA approved, emerging ... to help people around the world potentially live long and healthy lives.

    Abolitionally, growing a WUaS abolition movement worldwide,  best, 
    Scott

    24 is the average # of medical MD specialities taught in US teaching hospitals
