Official Account Clarified
The team stated that @PiCoreTeam is the sole legitimate X account and directed users to the Pi Safety Center for verified support channels.
- 4.2 million followers put the handle ahead of many major altcoins

Feedback online was mixed; some welcomed the notice, others want development progress to restore investor trust.

PI has gained 3.2% in seven days, tracking the broader crypto uptick but lagging top assets. It currently changes hands at about $0.21.
| Supporter View | Skeptic View |
|---|---|
| Break above $0.215 could spark next leg up | No clear mainnet migration timeline |
| Binance listing rumor seen as catalyst | Token down 88% since mainnet launch |
Trader Aman noted:
> “Consolidating tight under resistance – ready for new peaks once $0.215 gives way.”
User Honey countered:
> “Five years, KYC done, still no migration. They keep shifting narratives; the token has dumped 88%.”
Key Takeaways

- Community debate centres on exchange listings versus network delivery
With millions of Pioneers watching, the next moves on both social clarity and blockchain progress will shape sentiment.
