The Pi Network community is currently witnessing a public conflict between two prominent voices: Dave Rosco and Dr. Altcoin. What began as a disagreement over blockchain wallet data has escalated into a heated exchange about integrity, transparency, and the future direction of the Pi project. This debate touches on deeper frustrations within the community, particularly around unmet promises, token movements, and how the core team communicates with its users.

Dave Rosco Opposes 'Misinformation'

In a recent YouTube video, Dave Rosco directly addressed Dr. Altcoin's complaints, who alleged that the Pi Core Team sold 12 million PiCoins within 24 hours. Rosco, who recently reached 10,000 subscribers, expressed serious concern about what he described as misinformation being spread by Dr. Altcoin.

He argues that the transactions being referred to are essentially standard token movements from the Pi Foundation wallet to user wallets—not sales transactions by the Core Team. Using Piscan data, he demonstrated how the relevant wallet addresses are linked to legitimate user movements rather than market activity.

He also explained the importance of accountability, especially for those with significant followings. According to Rosco, unfounded or emotionally charged accusations would damage the community's credibility and cause unnecessary panic.

Rosco did not stop at clarifying technically. He continued to criticize the tone and behavior of Dr. Altcoin, calling it reckless. While acknowledging some frustrations with the Core Team itself, particularly regarding their May 14 introduction, Rosco made it clear that demands for transparency must be based on facts, not assumptions.

He pointed out that the Pi Core Team has the right to sell Pi from the allocated supply and noted that previous announcements clearly stated how part of the Pi would be used for development purposes and venture funding.

Dr. Altcoin Defends His Intentions and Demands Accountability

Dr. Altcoin responded to Rosco's video not with more accusations, but with a calm and more profound post. He stated that he appreciates Rosco's efforts to question him but felt that making a video was unnecessary as he had already answered on social media.

He then doubled down on his stance, demanding that Piscan provide official data on Pi sales in the past week to help resolve the issue once and for all. Dr. Altcoin clarified that he never intended to spread fear, uncertainty, or doubt (FUD), but rather to hold the Pi Core Team accountable for what he describes as years of broken promises.

He argues that much of what the original Core Team promised in the roadmap and whitepaper has not been fulfilled. According to him, the delays in KYC approval, bonus distribution, and ecosystem development have left millions of users in the dark. He stated that he may have made mistakes, but insists that they stemmed from good intentions, unlike what he claims are the deceptive actions of the Core Team.

Dr. Altcoin calls on the community to stand with him in demanding transparency, referencing a previous community-driven move that supposedly led to the launch of the Open Network. For him, this latest conflict is not a personal issue—it is about holding powerful entities accountable.

As tensions rise, the Pi Network community struggles with whom to trust and how to move forward. Both Rosco and Dr. Altcoin clearly care about the project, but they represent different strategies for demanding transparency—one based on verification, the other based on verbal pressure. The truth may lie somewhere in between, but currently, the debate has highlighted the growing impatience within a once tightly united group.
