**🚨 Important Clarification for All Pioneers:
Mined Pi and KYBed Exchange Pi Are the Same**
Dear Global Pioneers,
Sincere this year OM, I seen a dangerous misconception spreading across social media and some community groups until now— the idea that mined Pi and KYBed Exchange Pi are different. THIS IS WRONG AND HARMFUL!!!
Let me state this clearly:
**❗ They are the SAME Pi.
❗ There is no “different Pi.” between mined Pi and KYBed Exchange Pi.
❗ Please ignore all misleading information.**
This false narrative is extremely harmful to the Pi Network’s progress and global adoption. Let me explain why.

🌍 Pi Network Needs Liquidity for Global Adoption
If Pi’s goal is to become a global currency, it must satisfy two fundamental conditions:
1️⃣ Stability
This is why we spent 3.5 years establishing Global Consensus Value (GCV) — to provide Pi with a stable, community-agreed economic foundation.
2️⃣ Massive Distribution
A world currency must be held by a large portion of the global population.
Today, we have 65 million pioneers.
But the world has 8 billion people.
Mining alone is too slow to achieve massive adoption in short time because mining Pi is very slow now. Especially after GCV implemented, one year even can't mine 1 Pi !
That is why Core Team uses KYBed CEX markets — to expand distribution so more people can own Pi to support world wide ecosystem, especially after fully OM soon. This is important step before fully OM.

💱 Why Pi Appears on KYBed Exchanges
After OM, CT released five KYBed exchanges.
The Pi sold there comes from pioneers who:
unlocked their Pi in wallets
need liquidity (money)
are early miners with thousands of unlocked Pi
Exchanges allow:
more people to acquire Pi
the ecosystem to gain liquidity
Pi to become a real global currency
If mined Pi and KYBed Pi were different, then Pi could never reach mass adoption.
People outside the network would stop buying or motivation to buy.
Prices would collapse
And the fiat reserve would become unsustainable. This reserve is helping the start after fully OM merchants and pioneers high demand of Fiat. If exchange price cannot go up, reserve will be depleted.
This would put the entire Pi Network mission at risk.

⚠️ Why the Misconception Is Dangerous
If people believe “exchange Pi is not real Pi,” two catastrophic things will happen:
1. New adopters won’t buy Pi, destroying liquidity.
2. Exchange prices will crash, harming pioneers and shrinking demand.
Without strong demand, the fiat reserve can’t support fully OM usage at GCV.
This is extremely dangerous for the network.

📈 Why This System Actually Works
When pioneers and outside users understand that:
mining Pi = real Pi
KYBed exchange Pi = same Pi
both will unify after fully OM
Then the price gap between exchanges and the ecosystem GCV will motivate millions of people to buy.
This creates:
skyrocketing demand price go up to finally align with GCV
balanced supply
a strong reserve
a healthy and stable global currency
This is exactly how Pi becomes sustainable and successful.

🚀 Final Message to All Pioneers
Please never spread or repeat the false idea that mined Pi and exchange Pi are different.
It can seriously harm Pi Network’s long-term mission.
Just pay attention only go to KYBed exchanges market not any exchange markets has real Pi.
**One Pi. One mission.
Global currency for global humanity.**
Let us protect the truth and guide the community responsibly.
