The Pi Network community is reflecting on the virtues of patience and long-term belief in cryptocurrency, sparked by a viral post from PiNetwork DEX on November 5, 2025, about a Bitcoin whale's extraordinary journey.
The story details how a whale purchased 10,000 BTC at $1.54 per coin 14 years ago and recently sold the entire holding for $1.05 billion, showcasing remarkable timing and conviction through multiple bull and bear markets. This sale occurred amid broader market turbulence, including a U.S. government shutdown, which contributed to a brief dip in Bitcoin prices.
PiNetwork DEX's post, which described this as an example of "true faith", resonated deeply with Pi Pioneers, who have been holding their mined Pi coins since the network's launch in 2019. With tens of millions of users, Pi Network remains in transition to its full mainnet launch, preventing free trading of coins and fostering a culture of resilience.
Beyond inspiration, the Pi ecosystem shows progress: LatinChainLatam introduced a new mainnet access payment model of 25.314159 Pi per month (approximately 5 USDT) to enhance affordability and user participation. Additionally, PiNetwork DEX highlighted Pi's emerging focus on decentralized AI, leveraging its node network for computing power in AI training and data validation.
The community sees this as a lesson in building slowly and trusting the process, with many believing that Pi's continued evolution could eventually translate belief into tangible value, much like Bitcoin did for early adopters.
