Jakarta, Pintu News – Pi Network has recently updated their blockchain protocol to the latest version which is currently being run on a test network (testnet). This update process is expected to progress gradually from version 20 to 23 in the next few phases.
Then, how is Pi Network’s current price movement?
On September 16, 2025, the price of Pi Network was recorded at $0.3588, an increase of 1.5% in 24 hours. If converted to the current rupiah ($1 = IDR 16,378), then 1 Pi Network is IDR 5,876.
In the last 24 hours, the PI price moved in a range of $0.3436 to $0.363, showing relatively stable volatility but with a positive upward trend towards the close of the day.

In terms of market capitalization, Pi Network has a market cap of $2.9 billion, while its fully diluted valuation -that is, the total value if all tokens are outstanding-is $4.46 billion. Trading activity is also quite active with a daily transaction volume of $56.6 million, reflecting the high market interest and liquidity in this asset.
According to Dr. Altcoin, a Pi Network supporter on the X platform, Pi Network’s blockchain protocol upgrade started around mid-September, and many other users witnessed the protocol version change as well. As of this September, the blockchain has been upgraded from version 19 to version 20.
“This process is expected to be a gradual upgrade until it reaches version 23,” Dr. Altcoin said in a post tagging Pi’s official account as well as its founders.

Although the upgrade from version 19 to 20 was not officially announced by the Pi core team on social media, many traders took notice. In fact, the upgrade pushed the price of the Pi coin up by 10% on the day of the update.
In a short video uploaded earlier on September 5 on the official YouTube channel, the protocol informed the community that it is preparing for an upgrade from version 19 to version 23. The upgrade will be gradual and will likely require a temporary system shutdown, which will be announced in advance.
According to the video, this new version is designed as a Pi-specific protocol that builds on the existing foundation, by pulling updates from Stellar Protocol version 23. These updates will allow for new layers of functionality and control for Pi blockchain users.
In addition, this protocol upgrade will also bring new features, including the integration of Know-Your-Customer authorities directly into the protocol. This will keep Pi as a KYC-verified blockchain, while offering a more distributed and community-driven KYC process at the protocol level.
The protocol calls the new process “decentralization of KYC authority.”
“While Pi’s built-in KYC solution continues to verify Pioneers, the protocol will allow KYC authority to be granted to other trusted entities in the future,” Pi Network wrote in its video.

So far, the protocol has attracted great attention from the crypto community thanks to its peer-to-peer system. Pi Network claims to have amassed more than 14.28 million KYC-verified users who have successfully migrated to its platform.
According to a Crypto News report (15/9), the Pi Network token price recently experienced a significant breakout after coming out of a consolidation phase. For several days, PI traded in a narrow range sideways around the $0.345 level with low volatility.
But on September 12, when the update to version 20 was realized, the market momentum changed drastically. There was a sharp rally that pushed the price up by almost 10%, from around $0.345 to a peak near $0.380. Unfortunately, the bullish momentum did not last long. After touching $0.380, selling pressure increased and brought the price back down to around $0.347.
This decline suggests that the market does not yet have strong enough follow-through buying pressure to sustain the gains. Many traders most likely took profits after the price spike triggered by the protocol update.
The RSI (Relative Strength Index) indicator also confirmed this change, dropping from overbought conditions (above 70) to bearish territory (below 40), indicating weakening momentum.
As of September 15, PI was trading slightly above the previous support level, which was around $0.348. If this level is unable to be maintained, the price of Pi Coin has the potential to drop back to the $0.340 – $0.335 zone, where buyers had previously shown resistance.

Envelopes are a great way to store seeds.
It’s always a bit sad to see our summer vegetable gardens peter out as the season comes to a close. Those once-verdant plants are now fading as the long, hot summer takes its toll.
Though harvests of fresh produce may be dwindling, gardens at this time of year can still provide us with something valuable: seeds.
Seed saving isn’t as common as it used to be, but it was a way of life for many of our ancestors who lived off the land and prized self-sufficiency. It was how they ensured they had seeds to plant — and food on the table — the following year.
Make sure seeds are fully dry before storing them.
In recent times, some folks have rekindled an interest in saving seeds. Not only does this practice allow you to make the most of your plantings and build a perpetual supply of seeds, but it also saves money, helps preserve genetic diversity and makes it easy to swap favorite and unique varieties with friends.
Kerry Heafner and Marcie Wilson, two LSU AgCenter horticulture agents, are on a mission to encourage people to join the seed-saving movement.
Through their North Louisiana Seed Preservation Program, Heafner and Wilson have tracked down seeds for a number of varieties that were once staples of Louisiana gardens but were eventually lost to time. Many were developed by LSU scientists in the early to mid-20th century.
As summer vegetable gardens succumb to the heat and slow down, consider leaving your plants for a while longer so you can collect seeds to grow next year. Southern peas, like these Louisiana Purchase peas, can be left on the vine to dry. 
The program’s collection now includes seeds of varieties that your grandparents might have grown — things like the Red-N-Sweet watermelon, Louisiana Green Velvet okra and a wide range of tomatoes, snap beans and field peas.
It’s largely because of home gardeners who dutifully stashed their seeds year after year that Heafner and Wilson have been able to rediscover these outstanding varieties and introduce them to others.
So, what kinds of seeds can be saved? And how do you do it? Here are some tips from Heafner and Wilson.
Make sure to label seed packets so you know what’s inside.
Seeds must be from heirloom, or open-pollinated, varieties that have been pollinated naturally by wind, insects or animals. Heirloom varieties are usually marked as such at the garden center and differ from modern hybrids, whose seeds typically either are sterile or won’t breed “true.”
You should only save seeds from plants grown in isolation from other varieties of the same species. For example, if you grew more than one type of okra this summer, those plants may have cross-pollinated, affecting the purity of the seeds’ genetics. The seeds may indeed sprout next year — but they may produce off-types with undesirable traits.
Finally, keep seeds from pest- and disease-free plants that were good performers in your garden.
Many seeds are quite simple to save. For beans, peas and okra, you can just leave pods on the plants, allow them to turn brown and fully dry, then pluck them.
Break or cut open the pods to access the seeds. Air dry the seeds for a day to ensure there is no moisture present before storing.
It takes a few extra steps to preserve the seeds of veggies like tomatoes and cucumbers that have a jelly-like substance called locular gel around their seeds. You’ll need to scoop out the seeds, place them in water and let them ferment for about three days. This process allows the seeds to detach from the pulp and the gel, which inhibits germination.
Fermentation can still be beneficial for watermelons and other kinds of produce that don’t have locular gel. It separates seeds from pulp while removing pathogens and boosting germination rates.
After fermentation, spread the seeds in a single layer on a nonstick surface like a waxy paper plate. Allow them to air dry completely, which may take several days. Be patient; don’t be tempted to dry seeds in an oven or dehydrator.
Package your dry seeds into something airtight such as envelopes, plastic bags and jars for storage. Tossing in silica gel packs, rice or powdered milk can help reduce moisture accumulation. Be sure to label the storage containers with the crop, variety and date.
Store seeds in a cool, dark, dry place. A box on a shelf works fine, and so does a refrigerator kept between 35 and 40 degrees. The freezer is great for long-term storage of heirloom seeds, keeping them viable for years.

It’s regional championship season in American dressage land. For many, it’s the final (or semifinal, if they’re aspiring to attend the US Dressage Finals in Ohio) stop of a competitive year, and you have spent at least a few months practicing that championships test in order to qualify for it, so the fact that the big show is upon you (the championships kicked off over the weekend with the GAIG/USDF Region 2 Championships in Michigan) shouldn’t come as a total shock. But there’s always room for improvement.
Here are the things I’m thinking about as I guide my qualified horses and riders into our last hurrah of 2025.
1. Accuracy is free.
Big gaits are expensive, quality horses are expensive, exquisite training is expensive. But you can ride a good corner, a well-placed transition, and a circle that isn’t an amoeba on any horse, no matter their pedigree or price tag. 
2. Watch videos of yourself riding your test, ideally with the camera at C.
I know, watching yourself ride can sometimes be a little … ick. But seeing what weird thing your instructor keeps saying you do with your left leg, or how too slow/too fast/too high/too low you’re going, or that you’re not actually finding the centerline, or whatever, can help you correlate what you’re feeling (or not feeling!) to what it looks like to a judge. Feel lies all the time, and we all need a visual aid from time to time. 
3. Your turnout can either add or subtract from your presentation.
Most judges I’ve asked about this say they only see the turnout (the shine on your horse, how tidy your braids are, what color/cut/style your tack and equipment is) when it is unusual, or when it is bad. And sometimes, unusual is … not great. You should ride in whatever you like, but make sure it fits both you and your horse well. Spending $40 at the tailor to make sure your coat fits like a glove? Worth it. Your horse doesn’t give a fig how glittery your browband is, but he deeply cares if that browband is digging into his ears, or that your bespoke saddle with the glitter and the patent doesn’t fit him. 
4. In that vein, with great glitter comes great responsibility.
You’re an adult and can make your own choices; if pink patent and crocodile with Swarovski is your jam, then kick on. But I personally want the judge going ooh-ahh over my horse and not my outfit, and I personally never want anyone watching me to think, “Wow, maybe she should have spent a little more money on lessons and a little less money on the coat/helmet/boots/whatever.” 
5. Have a plan for cold-weather grooming.
Without fail—especially for those of us whose championships are toward the end of September into October—your horse will decide to pop his winter coat three days before you’re leaving for the show. Have a plan, and then do the best you can with what you’ve got. If you are not someone who clips for the winter, or who doesn’t want to clip yet, bring lots of towels and dry shampoo and leave time to spot clean. You can do a beautiful job turning out a fluffy horse; it just requires a little planning in advance.
6. Study up on your rules.
If you warm up with a stick, you’ll need to drop it before you go in. Have a plan for that. Pay attention to award ceremony timing, and if you can, watch one before you participate for the first time.
Be mindful of your fall vaccine dates, and when your Coggins expires, if you do those in the fall (which we do, and every dang year I bungle this, so learn from my stupid).
And remember that technical delegates are there to educate, but it’s helpful to ask them questions well in advance of it becoming an issue, so you have time to fix it. Two minutes before you’re going down centerline is a tough moment to learn your bridle is illegal.
7. This is supposed to be fun. Above all this, remember that this is—at least in theory—something you want to do. No matter what, you’re leaving the arena seven minutes smarter than when you went in. So take a breath. Regardless of who wins this year, they’ll crown a new winner next year, and the year after that, and the year after that. Enjoy. Make new friends. The sun will rise in the East tomorrow, come what may.

With fall sports in full swing, here’s a look at some of the top Eastern Michigan sports storylines to keep eyes on this week.

Football | Eastern Michigan returns home for Homecoming vs. Louisiana-Lafayette

Off to their worst start to a season in half a decade, Eastern Michigan’s football team returns home following a 48-23 loss at the University of Kentucky desperate for a win in their final nonconference test of 2025.

This year’s Homecoming celebration at Rynearson Stadium has been affectionately labeled “Operation Go Green.” For the upcoming game, the Eagles welcome Louisiana-Lafayette’s Rajun’ Cajuns to town on Saturday, Sept. 20 at 3:30 p.m. Viewers can stream all of the action live on ESPN+.

Eastern Michigan have played ULL three times over the past two decades — most recently in 2022, where they were dispatched on the road in Louisiana by a score of 49-21.

Volleyball | Eastern Michigan downs Southern Illinois, Oakland in Golden Grizzlies Invitational

The Eastern Michigan women’s volleyball team continued their red hot start to the campaign over the weekend, leaving the Golden Grizzlies Invitational hosted by Oakland University with a 2-1 record as the program continues to embark on its best start since 2018.

A loss to Xavier University was avenged by back to back 3-1 wins over Southern Illinois and the home Golden Grizzlies, boosting the team’s record to 7-3 after 10 matches.

The Eagles have now won more games this year than they did the entirety of head coach, Kevin Foeman’s, first season in Ypsilanti just two years ago, and now travel to Indianapolis for the Butler Invitational next on their schedule from Sept. 18-20.

Soccer | Eastern Michigan begins conference play against Buffalo

Off to a streaky 2-4 start to open the season, the Eastern Michigan women’s soccer team aims to right the ship at home with their opening conference play against the Buffalo Bulls to kick off Homecoming week at Scicluna Field.

The Eagles are 1-7-2 against the Bulls over their last 10 meetings, with the lone win coming at home in 2019. Last year, the University of Buffalo knocked off the green and white at their home pitch in a close match, 1-0.

Viewers can catch all the action on Thursday, Sept. 18 at 4:30 p.m. live on ESPN+.

Women’s Golf | Janae Leovao takes maiden win in The Southern as EMU takes team crown

For the 30th time in program history, the Eastern Michigan women’s golf team has come out on top.

The Eagles dominated The Southern on Sept. 8-9 to take home their first program victory since 2022, with new transfer Janae Leovao stealing the show.

Leovao, who finished ahead of her sister Jasmine Leovao in third, came out on top in a tie with TK Kongthong of Georgia State — marking her first individual win in her collegiate career after finishing runner up three times over the past three years with her old school, Long Beach State University.

Two other Eagles also finished in the top 10 on the leaderboard: Baiyok Sukterm in seventh, and Erina Tan who finished tied for eighth.

Eastern Michigan will next return to action in the Leadership & Golf Invitational, hosted by Seattle University and the University of Washington.

Remember the last time you tried to pay with crypto at a store? Yeah, probably never happened. But imagine walking into any shop and just tapping your phone to pay with Bitcoin like it’s no big deal.
That’s exactly what SpacePay is working on, and they’re moving faster than you’d expect.
Here’s the thing — we have over 400 million people worldwide who own cryptocurrency. Yet walk into almost any store, and good luck trying to spend it. The problem isn’t a lack of interest. It’s that the systems just don’t talk to each other.
Store owners look at crypto integration and see dollar signs, but not the good kind. They think about expensive new equipment, complicated training, and the nightmare of explaining to their accountant why yesterday’s $100 sale is worth $87 today. Meanwhile, crypto holders sit on digital fortunes they can barely use for a cup of coffee.
The situation feels like buying a brand new smartphone and then realizing your neighborhood has zero cell coverage. All this amazing technology exists, but nobody’s built the basic stuff actually to use it.
This is where SpacePay gets interesting. Instead of asking everyone to start over, they built something that works with what’s already there. Those card readers that every business already owns? SpacePay just needs a software update to make it crypto-ready.
Think about that for a second. No ripping out cash registers. No retraining staff. No massive upfront costs. The system handles over 325 different crypto wallets, so customers aren’t limited to one specific type of digital currency.
But here’s the clever part – when someone pays with crypto, the business owner gets regular money instantly. No waiting around watching Bitcoin prices bounce up and down like a yo-yo. They get paid in dollars, euros, or whatever currency they normally use. The crypto volatility becomes someone else’s problem.
Here’s something interesting — they only charge 0.5% in fees. Most credit card companies take way more than that. Turns out the smartest solutions are usually staring everyone right in the face.
Most fintech companies try to reinvent everything from scratch. SpacePay took the opposite approach. Instead of reinventing the wheel, they just made it roll better.
This London team wasn’t trying to win any awards for being fancy or complicated. They wanted to solve an actual problem that real businesses face every day. That focus is evident in the system’s straightforwardness.
People can use whatever crypto they want – Bitcoin, Ethereum, you name it. No special apps, no confusing setup. You tap, you pay, you’re done. The only difference is that money comes from crypto instead of a checking account.
The $SPY token runs the whole SpacePay ecosystem, and the presale has already pulled in over $1.3 million. Right now, tokens cost $0.003181 each, which reflects the early-stage pricing.
The way they’ve structured the tokenomics actually makes sense:
Token holders get voting rights on platform decisions. There’s also a revenue-sharing program that pays out based on how well the platform performs. Monthly airdrops reward the most active community members, and holders get first access to new features before everyone else.

SpacePay’s infrastructure focuses on doing one thing really well – making crypto payments feel normal. The system processes transactions quickly without sacrificing security. Since it works through software rather than hardware changes, businesses can start accepting crypto payments almost immediately.
They built everything on decentralized systems, so if one part goes down, the rest keeps working. Kind of like having backup generators for your backup generators. Smart move when handling people’s money.
The really clever bit? When someone pays with crypto, the store owner gets regular cash instantly. No watching Bitcoin prices go crazy and wondering if that $50 sale is now worth $45. Business owners get their money in dollars, and all the crypto drama stays behind the scenes.
Anyone interested in the $SPY token presale can get started at the current price of $0.003181 per token. The process is pretty simple:
The presale accepts Ethereum, Binance Coin, Polygon, Avalanche, Tether, USD Coin, and Base. Even people who don’t own crypto yet can participate using their bank cards. Each presale stage costs a bit more than the last, so earlier participants get better pricing.
