Pi Network has become one of the most popular projects lately, with 60 million-plus users in a very short span. Pi Network is even listed on several centralized exchanges but is yet to be listed on the Binance Exchange.

Pi followers have been actively engaging on X posts related to Pi Network; however, it’s important to know what’s right and what’s not before engaging with any social media posts. 

A Twitter account named The Times of PiNetwork with 28.7K-plus followers posted claiming that the original Bitcoin X account shared two different posts at different times, a caricature picture of Pi Founder Nikkolas, one on January 11, 2024, and a second on April 25, 2025.

The tweet immediately went viral, igniting excitement among the Pi users who believed it to be true, due to which people started engaging through comments and started getting influenced by the post, making them think that they should buy or invest in the Pi token. 

Upon checking, it was found that Bitcoin’s official handle did share a caricature picture via its account, but it wasn’t Pi Founder Nikkolas.

When being asked to Grok, a chatbot tool of X (formerly Twitter), it said, The caricature shown is of Hal Finney, an early Bitcoin pioneer. Popular for his dark beard, curly hair, and glasses, he was a computer scientist and the first person to receive the first Bitcoin transaction from Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009. Also, when looking carefully, the caricature seems to be older, which resonates with Hal Fenny.
