Comparison between Delta, Pi, and Bitcoin

Here's a comparison of Delta, Pi, and Bitcoin, highlighting their differences and what makes Delta potentially superior:

1. Total Supply
   

Bitcoin: Bitcoin has a fixed supply of 21 million BTC, which ensures scarcity but leads to significant price increases. This has created a situation where 1% of people own 80% of the supply, making it more exclusive and harder for new users to enter the market.

Pi Network: Pi operates with a dynamic supply that increases with the growing number of users but decreases over time through halving events. This ensures that Pi is accessible to a wider audience, encouraging broad distribution within the community.

Delta: Delta has a fixed supply of 300 billion DTC coins, balancing scarcity and accessibility. With a supply that ensures predictability, Delta’s approach to its total supply avoids the inflation concerns seen in traditional cryptocurrencies and aims to be a stable payment method globally.

1. Consensus Mechanism

Bitcoin: Uses Proof-of-Work (PoW), requiring high computational power (ASICs) and significant energy to secure the network. This makes Bitcoin less accessible for new participants due to the high costs involved in mining. While its decentralized ledger is secure and transparent, Bitcoin lacks privacy in transactions.

Pi Network: Employs the Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP), which is energy-efficient and designed for mobile mining, making it accessible to a wider audience. Pi can be mined using just a smartphone, democratizing access to cryptocurrency, though it relies on centralized validation in its early stages. This limits security and decentralization but plans for improvements in future phases.

Delta: Delta combines the strengths of Proof-of-Work (PoW) and Proof-of-Stake (PoS), incentivizing both mining and staking. This hybrid system ensures security while being energy-efficient. Like Pi, Delta is mobile-based, allowing users to mine via smartphones, but it also integrates a validator mechanism to enhance security and decentralization. Additionally, Delta introduces 3-No Verification (no password, no private key, no mnemonic), simplifying access while maintaining decentralized security. So Delta ensures security while deleting the hassle of passwords, private keys, and mnemonics.

1. Inflation and Deflation

Bitcoin: Has a fixed supply, with periodic halving reducing the rate of new BTC entering circulation.

Pi Network: The supply increases as more users join, with mining rewards halving over time, potentially leading to inflation if not controlled.

Delta: Fixed supply of 300 billion DTC, avoiding inflation by design and focusing on economic sustainability through staking and verification incentives.
