A prominent community member, Dao World (@Koreanteacher1), has publicly urged the Pi Core Team to assume a more active and controlled role in promoting the project to the general public. The call to action stems from growing concerns that the current promotional narrative, largely driven by the community itself, is harming Pi Network's credibility.
The core issue revolves around the community's "amateurish" promotional efforts, which the author argues often encourage unrealistic stories and unreasonable expectations. A primary example cited is the widespread discussion of the Global Consensus Value (GCV), which community members have used to suggest absurdly high valuations for the Pi coin. The author warns that these unfounded narratives are misleading newcomers and damaging the project's public image instead of fostering genuine adoption.
Launched in 2019 as a mobile-first cryptocurrency project, Pi Network has amassed one of the largest user bases in the crypto sector. However, the tension highlighted in the post reflects a broader conflict within its ecosystem—a clash between community passion and market realities. The author emphasizes that community enthusiasm cannot replace organized leadership, especially for a project of Pi Network's scale.
In the absence of clearer guidelines and active communication from the Core Team, speculation about topics like GCV tends to dominate discussions, overshadowing more substantive conversations about real-world use cases, utility, and practical adoption pathways. The post concludes with a direct appeal: for the Pi Core Team to lead from the front in promotion, set realistic expectations, and establish clear communication standards to channel the community's massive size toward tangible development beyond mere hype.
