💥 WHAT REALLY HAPPENED WITH GCV (Global Consensus Value)?
A few years back, some Pi pioneers introduced GCV — a suggested price for 1 Pi.
The idea? Motivate holders and stop people from selling Pi too cheap before it had real-world use.
🧠 THE FIRST GCV: $314
Picked to inspire confidence, not market value.
🚀 THEN: $6,700
Raised as a psychological trick — so people hold longer and support ecosystem growth.
🔢 NEXT: 3.14159 (π)
Because 314,159 resembled the digits of Pi (π). Purely symbolic, not realistic.
⚠️ WHERE IT WENT WRONG
Many began treating GCV as real value.
Merchants accepted Pi at GCV, expecting future riches.
But on exchanges, Pi trades under $1 — leaving many stuck.
🧭 THE TRUTH
✔️ GCV was never official — Core Team didn’t endorse it.
✔️ It was a community motivation, not a promise.
✔️ Real value = utility, apps & adoption, not hype.
✔️ Merchants & users must stay smart, not just hopeful.
🔥 Pi’s true power lies in building real value — not inflated expectations.
Let’s focus on education, innovation, and sustainable growth.
