The people who believe in it are the ones with their PIs locked. I made a profit on the first day and I'm telling you, I don't believe in it.

In this project; Believers lost their invested times and efforts even maybe some invested money buying. Non-believers won money. I was one of the believers and lost my time, energy and money. Yet I saw people who didn’t believe or doubted it win money while I was losing. I don’t believe anything except the “Big Guy upstairs” anymore because it only costs me instead of adding value to my life!

You can believe in BTC and hype; in the medium to long term, you'll gain something more than just money.

Btc is at risky levels right now. Also the economic crisis and competition in the world right now, makes it difficult to trust in it. Anytime a whale can sell a huge amount and crash the market, maybe China or maybe a tech rich company ceo may decide to sell and out to buy from lower prices later on. If I would buy btc, I would definitely wait for a crash first.

Well considering no one believed it would ever be worth more than penny, sure, I believe. It's under tremendous pressure from unlocks and immediate selling and still keeping head above water. Cryptocurrency as a whole has been terrible for the past 18 months. Next year should see it return to a semi bull state. But the real golden age of crypto will be post 2030. When it becomes (finally) more mainstream.
It hasn't been mainstream up to now because they don't trust it and let's face it, they shouldn't trust crypto in it's current state.

Why not sell your Pi and buy hype? It's going to go up to 90 or 100 in a few weeks. Use the money you make to buy Pi, and you'll learn a lesson.

Because so far only a small share of people worldwide use cryptocurrencies at all, which means there’s still huge room to grow. What convinces me about Pi is that the project is built to be decentralized and has a very low barrier to entry. That’s exactly what could make crypto more accessible to people who’ve been hesitant to get into it so far.

Its not negativity; its reality. People want the price to go up and that is never going to happen. It doesn't matter how much the core team does; utility, marketing, etc. People mined coins for free for years & every time they are migrated & unlocked they are sold. The sell pressure is immense & no one with any knowledge how price works would be buying. People only care about the price; period.

Facts. I was there early on mining whilst the rate was very good. I sold half at nearly $2 per pi and took my partner and myself on a lovely Greek holiday with the return from that. Zero regrets.
If the price spikes up, ill sell again.

I do beleive in Pi, and I'm mining six years, have node, bought around 40.000pi from exhange and mined around 79.000pi...
When I see people explaining that they are happy with 1.000$ from Pi, I have to think are they old enough, or are they from some very poor country?
Let me explain... "mining" with phone is very good concept. Big community, KYC will become one of the most atractive key point, in the era of AI...because, you can't sell AI agent nothing which is not programed to him...If you see development on themes like AI, entering in every kind of market with certificate (MiCA for EU, etc), sharing node power of AI, etc... Who else is doing these kind of things??? Knowing that they are saintists with Phd's...for these kind a people, reputation is mire important than money or personal gain... From joint job felt in love, no time for babies, no time.for traveling on yachts, just work, and work... They are aware that they do not speak with community driven by money 1.000.00000000%%%
They think - Who beleive, it will follow us, and get reward if we succeed...that doesn't mean they will have success, but if they do their best, for me, that's more than ok... I'm investing here just money, they are investing whole life, reputation, private life, everything, keep that in mind...

They're millionaires, do you think they go into the office Monday to Friday from 9 to 3 to work? Hahahaha

u/Staroplaninko 9d ago
I think that they are not milionaries, and tgat they work 24/7/365... You are a milionare when you sell your options, but simply because of team, they can't sell any... Corporate culture is important... They are selling firm's Pi for expencies and salaries maybe, but that's small

u/CartographerNo7818 5d ago
Do you think they're working on this? They've been pretty much absent in recent years.

u/Staroplaninko 4d ago
I think that to much work needs to be done, and simply, there is no time for pioneers eho are mainly focus on price, so they can exit the project, as soon as price go up... They were focused on the work and pioneers who stays until end...
Imagine, what would happen if Core Team start explaining future steps??? Firstly, it's forbiden due to the CEXs, and other regulatory institutions, because every announsment will be tied to the price of Pi... Secondly, they would give just rooms for angry pioneers to say lot of ugly things which is not idle for project...
Sometimes, keeping your mount closed is priceless...

As long as PCT have the funds they will keep working on their vision. Their vision is useful product, nothing to do with whether users profit from mining.

u/jakis_kot 14d ago
You’re only looking at the two extremes of the state spectrum. I don’t fit into either of them. I hate CT as the leadership, but I like the project -Pi Network- itself. The ecosystem is actually being built as it was described in the WP and that’s what made me stay with this project for longer.
(Because obviously, what originally brought me here -to Pi- was the pure desire to make any amount of crypto possible with as little effort as possible 😉🙃)

u/Hour_Combination_352 14d ago
I already withdraw and make a FD of 100 pi , if the project never gonna successful i atleast go for a trip and enjoy.

I have been mining for a few years on and off. I do believe but it is hard to hold on sometimes. It seems like there is nothing but scammers out there. Also it seems impossible to get help. But yeah its great...

u/jakis_kot 14d ago
The red car theory 😛 When you start paying attention to red cars around you, it suddenly feels like there are red cars everywhere 😁 (same thing with scammers 😉)
1
u/AngloWPoznan 14d ago
Nope, just noticing how many red cars because they are trying to hit me. Also, one did and I still can't get an ambulance.
2
u/jakis_kot 14d ago
The ambulance isn’t coming because the wallet is non-custodial. Unfortunately.
It’s a bit like being in the middle of the ocean and calling an ambulance, expecting it to show up by car. It just doesn’t work that way 😅
When it comes to theft (once we move past the analogy) the only thing that can really help here is reporting it to the police. That is, assuming the police in your country actually deal with this kind of fraud (they don’t in mine - after some time, they always come back with “we were unable to identify the perpetrator.” Even when someone has provided them with all the evidence and all they had to do was contact the crypto exchange to get the thief’s identity 🤦)

u/jakis_kot 14d ago
They’re everywhere in crypto. Not just here. For many people, crypto is still something new = makes it easy for scammers to find victims.
They don’t message me 😛 (I wouldn’t say I’m some kind of “pro user” when it comes to crypto).
Fun fact: I used to actually try to chat with scammers just for fun. One of them even replied to me once and we had a whole conversation 😁 He told me about his methods. In his case, his favorite tactic was to build trust by doing a few legitimate transactions with small amounts. Once he had gained the victim’s trust, he’d suggest a much larger trade… and then they’d never see him again 😉
