Unlike before, the pi network hype had really gone down because of their delay.
I learnt people lost significant amount of pi coin due to late kyc entry and till date some people weren't able to pass kyc hence their pi coin is gone maybe I don't know if there were other ways they have used to restore back their pi coin. Just as you said have been hearing about this coin and they made lots of noise on social media causing them to gain much popularity even more than some of those meme coin that has been listed in the market today. Most times good projects takes time to list their coin, they takes all the time because they knew that most of the people who are holding their coin are just looking for a way to go dump them on market this made most project to set some limits and a total amount one could be able to sell.
I can't seem to understand the reason why anyone will lose the pi they have mined before despite the delay in kyc. Maybe they need to reach out to the pi team for assistance to restore their mined coins otherwise it will seen like a huge waste of time mining pi to end up losing them.
It's simple my friend, it's simply due of losing hope and deleting the app or just giving up on mining which would lead to loss of coins for those days ( been a victim of this one). But upon everything,the only thing that keeps me from not deleting the app is the noise it's still making on X. It wouldn't hurt to wait, would it ? But it'll definitely hurt me if I'd missed out on the opportunity.
