Audio and video overview [English]

⚠️ INTRODUCTORY ARTICLE #1: “Pi Network adds PiBridge utility ahead of mainnet launch”

Source: Coininfomania.com, October 27, 2025

📰 What the article claims:

  • "Pi Network introduces PiBridge" – Pi Network introduces PiBridge
  • PiBridge is a new DeFi utility for P2P lending
  • Allows Pi to be used as collateral for stablecoin loans
  • It is part of the official ecosystem before Open Mainnet

❌ WHAT IS MISLEADING:

PiBridge is NOT an official Pi Network project!

✅ VERIFIED TRUTH:

  • PiBridge is a THIRD PARTY project no formal affiliation with Pi Core Team
  • Launching in September 2022 independent developers
  • Works on Binance Smart Chain (BEP20), not on Pi Mainnet
  • Uses "Wrapped PI (WPI)" tokens, not native PI

Evidence:

  • Capital.com: "Developed independently as a third-party service... has no formal affiliation with Pi Network's core team" (“Developed independently as a third-party service…has no formal connection to the Pi Network core team.”)
  • On the official Pi Network website (minepi.com) there is no mention about PiBridge

⚠️ WARNING FOR PIONEERS:

Pi Network community warns:

  • Reddit: "Only thing to trust is pibrowser/pi mining app. Anything else SCAM." ("The only thing to trust is the pibrowser/pi mining app. Everything else is a scam.")
  • "I wouldn't trust any Pi bridges unless it's a Pi Foundation DApps" (“I wouldn’t trust any Pi bridges unless they are a decentralized application from the Pi Foundation.”)

PiBridge risks:

  • You must entrust your PI tokens to a third party (it is usually insured on crypto exchanges)
  • You are using wrapped tokens, not real PIs
  • No official support from Pi Core Team
  • Potential loss of tokens

✅ WHAT IS REALLY TRUTH in the article:

Coinfomania correctly states:

  • 3,36 million Pioneers completed KYC ✅ (officially confirmed)
  • Pi Core Team is in an advanced stage preparations for full mainnet ✅
  • Open Mainnet has been launched February 20, 2025 ✅

Problem: Article COMBINES true information se misleading claims about PiBridge.

What I wanted to say: The Coinfomania article is particularly dangerous, because:

✅ Part is TRUE (3,36 million KYC)
❌ Part is MISGUIDED (PiBridge as "official")
🎭 The reader thinks the whole article is true because part of it is correct

⚠️ INTRODUCTORY ARTICLE #2: “Pi Network will achieve ISO 20022 compliance on November 22, 2025”

???? We already wrote about this here: Pi Network and ISO 20022: What is truth and what is speculation ?

Sources: Coinfomania, various Pi Network fan groups

📰 What is spreading:

  • November 22, 2025 is the “deadline” for Pi Network
  • Pi automatically gains “global currency” status
  • ISO 20022 compliance is confirmed
  • Pi will be like XRP and Stellar

❌ WHAT IS MISLEADING:

Pi Network DOES NOT have confirmed ISO 20022 compliance as of November 22, 2025!

✅ VERIFIED TRUTH:

  • November 22, 2025 is the deadline for BANKS, not for cryptocurrencies
  • No cryptocurrency will not automatically "gain recognition" by this date
  • Pi Network is not on the official list of ISO 20022 compliant assets
  • There is no official announcement. from Pi Core Team about ISO 20022 integration

What is ISO 20022:

  • Global standard for financial messages between banks
  • Used by SWIFT and traditional banking
  • Cryptocurrencies may be compatible, but it is not automatic

✅ WHAT WE SHOULD WATCH:

Instead of speculating about ISO 20022, watch real milestones:

  • KYC verifications continue (3,36 million new ones ✅)
  • Pi App Studio with AI upgrades (October 15, 2025 ✅)
  • DEX and AMM tested on testnet ✅
  • Mainnet migration (2,69 million in the last week ✅)

⚠️ INTRODUCTORY ARTICLE #3: Various “Pi Network SCAM” Sensations

Sources: Phemex, OKX, various crypto news sites

📰 What is being claimed:

  • "Pi Network is the biggest crypto scam in history"
  • "Pi Core Team sold 12 million tokens"
  • "The project is a pyramid scheme"

⚠️ WHAT IS TRUE AND WHAT IS NOT:

Pi Network's real problems (legitimate criticism):

  1. ✅ Centralization – validators are still supervised by the Core Team
  2. ✅ High volatility – price dropped 91% from ATH
  3. ✅ Token unlock risks – 121-172 million PI will be released in November
  4. ✅ Limited liquidity – most tokens locked
  5. ✅ Missing major exchanges – not on Binance, Coinbase

But is it a "scam"?

❌ NO, according to the facts:

  • Open Mainnet has been launched (February 20, 2025) ✅
  • The token is tradable on OKX, Bitget ✅
  • 3,36 million new KYCs completed in October ✅
  • 10,14 million pioneers on mainnet ✅
  • Pi App Studio and DeFi development continues ✅

🎯 CORRECT PERSPECTIVE:

PiNetwork not perfect, has legitimate challenges:

  • High centralization
  • Slow development (5 years)
  • Unclear tokenomics
  • The referral system resembles MLM

BUT it's not a "scam" in the classic sense:

  • Mainnet is working
  • Tokens are tradable
  • Development continues
  • The community is growing
