Guys, last week I saw pi price hit $6 in Binance and I was surprised. But many people are still complaining that they have stuck pis in their mining app.
Mine is locked (600+400), and my KYC is still pending after months. Even after the KYC gets approved, it will remain locked for additional 6 months before I can use it. And this is not only me, many users are in the same situation. Some have even locked their coins for 1 or 2 years in the hope of achieving a higher mining speed.
TBH, waiting 6 months wouldn’t be that difficult. However, people are complaining because the team deliberately didn't let them complete their KYC or gave them permission very late. For example, I am one of the earliest users, but even after 2–3 years, they didn’t allow me to complete my KYC. Every time I went to the KYC page, it said, "Slot not available, come back later." You can imagine my frustration.
If they had allowed me to do my KYC a year ago, I wouldn't need to wait an additional 6 months or I could have traded the coins right now. This is the only reason I can think of for people's frustrations.
I'm just guessing that if a cryptocurrency project earns billions of dollars, it should be able to grow rapidly in the future, but if the core team is no longer interested in developing a PI coin, then in the next few weeks the PI coin will also die.
Their team, their blockchain, their core dev everything was unclear from the very beginning. So only time will tell what will happen to the project. Will it survive or die!
