Pi Network is facing renewed criticism from parts of its community after a recent 10% price drop. Some users say interest in the project has faded, arguing that updates and development alone are not enough to support long-term growth.
A community post suggested that Pi Network now needs major real-world partnerships with companies like Amazon or Uber to drive actual usage of PI. Without this kind of adoption, some users believe the project may struggle to regain momentum.
Pioneer’s comment:
“I think $Pi is done. All the hype is gone. No matter what upgrades or development they will do, it will not affect it’s price up..Unless they do some partnerships with huge companies like Amazon or Uber that will utilize the token..But if no major…

What concerns are users raising about supply and transparency?
Other community members are also questioning Pi Network’s token supply and long-term structure. Around 4.5 billion PI tokens are currently circulating, out of a maximum supply of 100 billion.
Technically, 4.5 billion out of 100 billion (just 4.5%) are in real circulation at $0.12 per Pi. None of the other numbers really matter!
What may happen to the price when the real circulation supply hits 100B? Hmm, possibly $0.001?!

Users argue that future token unlocks could increase supply significantly, which may put pressure on price if demand does not grow at the same pace. There are also ongoing questions about transparency, including reports of Core Team wallet movements and how the ecosystem fund is being managed.
One user also questioned why Pi Ventures would require fiat funding if PI is meant to support ecosystem activity, suggesting that more clarity is needed around funding and distribution.
💬 PIONEERS — If Pi is real money, why is the Core Team selling it for fiat instead of using it to fund the ecosystem? 🤔
It says right in the disclaimer: “Pi is NOT free money… a long-term project… If you are looking for quick money, look elsewhere.”
Fair enough. But then… pic.twitter.com/qQNv3oWw5N

What does Pi Network’s price action show right now?
Pi Coin has fallen nearly 10% this week and recently lost its key $0.13 support level. While the token has bounced slightly from its all-time low near $0.118, the recovery remains weak.
For any short-term improvement, bulls would need to reclaim $0.137 and then push above $0.168. If price falls below $0.118 again, analysts warn it could open the door toward $0.10. The mix of community frustration, supply concerns, and weak price performance has kept debate around Pi Network highly active across social platforms.
Meanwhile, Pi Network partnered with CiDi Games to accelerate Web3 gaming adoption and expand real-world use cases for its Pi token. The collaboration will integrate Pi into CiDi Games’ upcoming titles, allowing tens of millions of Pioneers to use the cryptocurrency for in-game transactions, rewards, and payments
