Is Bitcoin X Trying to Fool Us with Fake Pi Founder Pic? Here’s What We Found!

by

Ah, the ever-popular Pi Network – apparently, everyone’s new best friend. With 60 million+ users in what feels like the blink of an eye, it’s no wonder people are talking. Even centralized exchanges are like, “Yeah, we’ll take that,” but Binance? Not yet, but hey, don’t hold your breath.

Now, if you’re one of those Pi fans lurking around social media (we know you’re out there), let’s talk about a recent, *super reliable* post that’s been causing a ruckus. You’ve probably seen it, or at least you’ve *almost* clicked on it – something about Bitcoin X sharing a “caricature” of Pi Network Founder Nicolas Kokkalis. Sounds like a juicy scoop, right? Well, buckle up, because we’re about to debunk this thriller.

So, this Twitter account called The Times of PiNetwork (28.7K followers and counting, by the way) posted this bombshell: “Hey, @Bitcoin 𝕏 account shared a picture twice – once on January 11, 2024, and again on April 25, 2025. What’s the deal?” Naturally, the internet went bananas, and Pi users were practically falling over each other, convinced that this was a sign that Pi’s about to moon. 💸🚀

🚨@Bitcoin 𝕏 account shared two posts

Is this a random post?, or a deliberate hint of the future. 👀#Bitcoin2025 #PiNetwork2025

But hold your horses – because upon a teeny tiny bit of fact-checking, we discovered something absolutely *shocking* (not really): Bitcoin’s official account did post the caricature, but plot twist – it wasn’t Pi Founder Nicolas. Nope, not even close.

And guess who the mystery man in the caricature really is? Oh, just Hal Finney – you know, the guy who got the first-ever Bitcoin transaction from Satoshi Nakamoto back in 2009. A computer science legend, dark beard, curly hair, glasses – sound familiar? Yeah, that’s who the post was about. Not Nikkolas. 🙄

In case you’re wondering, we even checked with Grok, the chatbot of X (formerly Twitter, for anyone still living in 2009), and it confirmed that the image is a nod to Hal Finney, a Bitcoin pioneer. Apparently, Hal’s trademark was *definitely* not looking like Pi’s Nicolas. Sorry to burst that bubble, folks!

The moral of this story? Before you go throwing your life savings into a random crypto because of a viral post, maybe double-check the facts. One click could cost you more than your internet dignity. 😬
