The post Pi Network News: Why Some Community Members Are Calling Pi ‘Dead’ and Predicting a Drop Below $0.1 appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Pi Network is facing one of its most serious credibility challenges since launch. The token is down 9.13% in the past 24 hours to $0.177, extending a weekly decline of 19.5% and sitting 87% below its all-time high. But the price drop is almost secondary to the conversation happening inside the community right now.
“I Declare Pi Has Already Collapsed”
The spark came from a widely followed community voice known as Dr. Pi, who posted a bold and emotionally charged statement on X that has since circulated across the PI ecosystem.
“I declare that Pi has already collapsed,” they wrote. “This is all due to the poor performance of the Pi Core Team, which has triggered extreme dissatisfaction within the community. At their current pace of development, there won’t be any positive news in the next 3 to 6 months. Under continuous large-scale migrations, Pi will drop below $0.10.”
The core frustration centres on a migration inequality that has visibly divided the community. While some Pioneers who completed their first migration are already being processed for a second, a significant portion of the community has not yet had their first migration processed at all. Many have not even cleared KYC.
“Our first migration hasn’t even started, while some pioneers are already on their second migration,” he said. “This has further intensified the community’s resistance sentiment.”
In a follow-up post, Dr. Pi added that if the Launchpad and Pi DEX do not go live on Mainnet soon, confidence will not recover. “Many people have already completely lost confidence and won’t come back,” he wrote.
The KYC Frustration Is Real
The migration grievance is not isolated. Community member Awan confirmed in the replies that despite completing KYC a long time ago and submitting data to the support team, verification remains stuck at the same position with no update.
Others pointed out that KYC completion is not guaranteed for everyone. Mohammed Musa noted that Pioneers who have ever been flagged by their government for fraud or anti-money laundering violations cannot pass Pi’s verification process, adding a compliance layer that is quietly blocking portions of the user base from ever participating in migrations regardless of effort.
What the Data Actually Shows
Amid the community anger, the price data tells a concerning structural story. Pi’s turnover ratio, which measures trading volume against market cap, sits at just 2.43%. In practical terms this means the market is extremely thin.
If $0.177 fails to hold, the next significant support sits at the yearly low around $0.15. A recovery back above $0.20 is the minimum threshold analysts say would be needed to signal any stabilisation, let alone a trend reversal.
