Basically speaking about #PiCoreTeam , I have followed this PJ since the early days, I have looked back and forth a few times a year, the history of formation and development has a few things like this:

1. Pi initially started 80-90% determined to be a scam, there was no specific roadmap or development (you can notice that in the 2021 season, there was a big opportunity to upgrade but no, there was no development movement, from mainet, DEVs, exchange list,... at that time, they still defined themselves as a scam even though the community was very large, China smelled the smell and banned).

2. When Pi listed the exchange, it was unclear what happened internally at #pi , how strong the community was, or whether they were pumped $ by a big hand, enlightened by someone, or advised to change their perspective,... they decided to mainnet #PiNetworkMainnet even though there were quite a few errors and many long-time DEVs flagged it, which was normal for a PJ that had just started running so quickly, and there was not even a testnet yet (don't confuse the lightning bolt with a testnet 😊).

3. Clone accounts that want you to withdraw PI to your wallet or FUD exchanges with unreasonable reasons such as fake PI, the exchange wants to take your PI, or the exchange scams most of the accounts following Team PI's campaign (this issue is quite understandable when looking at how they have been operating for a few years, and I don't say they are stupid because their target audience is another audience, that's enough).

Is there anything else? I've seen a few problems recently. Whether PI is successful or not depends on the majority. They intended to scam but ended up mainnetting. Whether the exchange listing will push x5 x10 depends on the community of PI holders (Airdrop and buying on the exchange). Whichever direction is more profitable, they will do it. We don't need to predict the result.
