Pi Network is facing mounting pressure as skepticism grows over its long-term viability. More than half of market analysts now predict the token could collapse toward zero between 2026 and 2027. The warning follows a sharp drop in value, with Pi trading at just $0.28 after a daily decline of more than 16%. Early buyers are down over 90% from February highs, while confidence among institutions has all but disappeared. The lack of major exchange listings, an oversized token supply, and constant delays in mainnet development have fueled doubts about its long-term survival. As a result, investors are shifting focus from experimental mobile mining concepts to more practical projects that deliver measurable results. Here’s all you need to know. Technical indicators show Pi may face further trouble. The token has fallen from $3.40 to below $0.30 in just months, with support now seen at $0.23. A failure at that level could accelerate losses toward the collapse levels some analysts predict. The massive token supply continues to create heavy selling pressure, while weak correlations with Bitcoin highlight the lack of broader market support. Perhaps most concerning is the six-year wait for functional products. While competitors have launched working solutions, Pi remains stuck in development, testing the patience of its community and leaving the project vulnerable to decline. While Pi struggles, Remittix has stepped into the spotlight as a utility-driven project delivering immediate value. The Defi project has raised over $26.4 million in presale funding, selling more than 669 million tokens to investors seeking a credible alternative. Unlike Pi, Remittix is already live in beta with a wallet that supports instant transfers from crypto to bank accounts across more than 30 countries. Fees are transparent at just 0.1%, and security is backed by a top ranking from Certik, giving it an institutional-grade level of credibility. Confirmed listings with BitMart and LBank also ensure liquidity once the token goes public. More importantly, because Remittix is solving a multi-trillion-dollar payments problem by offering real-world functionality right now, analysts see it as one of the best cryptos to buy now heading into 2025. Remittix has also launched a $250,000 community giveaway that has already attracted more than 340,000 participants. Unlike Pi’s stalled ecosystem, this initiative ties directly to product adoption, rewarding users for building the network while earning income through referrals. For many early adopters, it represents a real chance to generate financial growth while supporting a project that has proven utility today. With Pi facing mounting risks and potential collapse, investors are increasingly looking to Remittix as a safer and more rewarding long-term play in the payments sector.

It rains in Disney World. A LOT. If you’re visiting in the late summer, especially, it might rain every single day of your trip. And though you might be able to take a break from the parks if it’s raining one day, you won’t want to miss a huge chunk of EVERY day due to weather — you’ve got to get your money’s worth! Thus, the poncho princess was invented.
Recently, we shared a video of Sage dancing in the rain on Main Street, U.S.A. (you know, as one does), and a follower left a comment that coined a new phrase for us!
Our follower @travel.destinations.by.amanda called herself a “Poncho Princess,” saying she doesn’t stop her park day when the rain starts! And you know what? We love that attitude. So we’re here to tell you what a Poncho Princess does when it starts raining…and spoiler alert — it sounds like a really fun park day! This may seem obvious, but when the rain starts kicking up in Disney World, the first thing a Poncho Princess will do is whip out their trusty poncho. Now, there are a few different options for purchasing a poncho. You could get dollar-store ponchos and keep multiple on hand so you always have a dry one at the ready. You could also go for a fancier poncho that’ll last you through multiple rewears. Our favorite one recently has been the Frogg Toggs Ponchothat you can snag on Amazon. Multiple members of our team own one, and we love it! It comes with a little storage bag so all your stuff doesn’t get wet, and you don’t feel like you’re wearing a trash bag when you have it on! Of course, if you forget the poncho ahead of time, you can always snag one in Disney gift shops. They’re a little overpriced, but they’re better than nothing! GET YOUR PONCHO HERE Now, if you’re going to all the trouble of wearing the poncho, you’ll want to actually keep yourself AND your belongings dry. This means Poncho Princesses are putting their backpacks and purses UNDERNEATH the cover of the poncho. They’re roomy for a reason, people! And if you’re a Poncho Princess who’s really prepared, you might even have these protective shoe covers. We wear them on rainy days, and they’re a lifesaver if you hate wet socks. A Poncho Princess knows there’s no point in putting on a poncho now if you’re just going to wear a soaking wet bag later. Think ahead! GET YOUR SHOE COVERS HERE Let a little (or a lot of) rain get you down? No way! The Poncho Princess knows that when the weather starts to get gloomy, it’s time to suit up and go on about their day. Sure, some outdoor attractions may close if there’s lightning in the area, but there will still be plenty of rides to ride, shows to watch, snacks to eat, and a theme park to explore! And you know what? If you’re already getting wet, it seems like the perfect time to ride Tiana’s Bayou Adventure or Kali River Rapids. Why not?! (As long as there’s no lightning and they’re still open.) The parks don’t close for a thunderstorm (only if there’s a major hurricane), so you’ll still be able to go on about your day as usual. Albeit a little damp. You can still have a great time! And of course, if you’re going to have a fun-filled rainy day in the theme parks, then you need to snap a picture of it! There’s something fun and whimsical about a goofy poncho picture in front of the park icons. It’s the “ahh, yes, we’ve all been there” feeling. It shows that you roll with the punches and can go with the flow to have a good time. Plus, we’re sure all of your followers would love a video of you dancing in the rain in front of the Tree of Life. Bonus points if you set it to “Africa” by Toto. So there you go — the life of a Poncho Princess. Are you this type of person, or do you avoid the rain at all costs? Tell us in the comments!

Home » News » Treasury, IRS clarify who is eligible for tips tax deduction The Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service recently proposed regulations identifying the occupations that customarily and regularly received tips before 2025 and that were eligible for a tax deduction. “To this day, tens of millions of Americans depend on tips to feed their families, pay their rent, and make ends meet,” Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent said. The proposed regulations also define “qualified tips” and other requirements taxpayers must comply with to claim the deduction. The No Tax on Tips provision was enacted with the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. It allows employees and the self-employed to deduct up to $25,000 of qualified tips received in a year per return. The deduction is available to eligible taxpayers who itemize their deductions and those who do not itemize and take the standard deduction. The deduction can be claimed on the 2025 tax return. The deduction is available for taxpayers with incomes up to $150,000 annually or $300,000 if filing jointly. “Through forward-thinking policies like No Tax on Tips, the president is boosting paychecks for America’s working families,” Bessent said. “This is critical to our goal of achieving parallel prosperity by building an economy where Main Street and Wall Street grow together. All workers deserve an equal chance to pursue the American Dream.” Check your inbox or spam folder now to confirm your subscription.
We've verified video from Salavat in Russia showing a large plume of smoke coming from an oil refinery following a reported Ukrainian drone attack Our specialists are also investigating an apparent attack near a former market, which is now a rubbish dump, in Gaza City that local reports say has killed at least 17 people And we're seeing dramatic videos from Hong Kong and mainland China showing the impact of Super Typhoon Ragasa BBC Verify uses open-source intelligence, satellite imagery, fact-checking and data analysis to help report complex stories This feed is where we post our work throughout the day Get in touch with us by following this link Edited by Rob Corp Peter Mwai BBC Verify senior journalist New satellite imagery shows the devastation caused by a drone strike on worshippers at a mosque in the besieged Sudanese city of El-Fasher in North Darfur. Reports say at least 75 people were killed in the attack on 19 September, although this figure hasn’t been idependently verified. The latest satellite image by Maxar was captured on Monday – and comparing it with one from 18 September the full extent of the destruction is laid bare. The attack appears to have hit directly in the centre of the mosque, levelling most of the main structure. The image also shows the debris, seen as white spots, scattered across the mosque’s grounds and the surrounding area. Researchers from Yale University say the destruction is consistent “with an air-delivered munition” and the fact that most of the debris spray was towards the north-west indicates the explosive was fired at the building from the south. The Sudanese army has accused the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of being behind the attack. The RSF, which has laid siege to the city for the past 15 months, is yet to respond to the accusation. Yi Ma and Adam Durbin BBC Verify Super Typhoon Ragasa has reached Hong Kong, Macau, and southern China after taking at least 15 lives in Taiwan yesterday. The Hong Kong Observatory issued its highest level storm warning in the early hours of the morning local time. People in Hong Kong have been recording the impact of the strongest typhoon of the year so far and sharing their footage online. We’re working to check they are not from previous tropical storms as we do see old footage being passed off as new during breaking news stories. Several verified clips filmed from a residential highrise in the Heng Fa Chuen area of the city show high waves crashing onto the footpath. We were able to geolocate it by matching the building structures and footpath track seen in the video with Google Maps’ Street View ground-level coverage. Another CCTV video from inside a restaurant shows water smashing in a door before it surges inside, tossing furniture around the room and dragging some outside as the flood recedes. The video matches customer photos posted online of the furniture and decor of the restaurant. We’ve also seen footage of people in Macau using buckets and their hands to try and catch fish swept into flooded streets. As Super Typhoon Ragasa continues to head westward towards Jiangyang City in mainland China intense wind and heavy rainfall is still forecast for Hong Kong until 20:00 local time (13:00 BST). We are continuing to monitor and verify footage of the storm – and will bring you any updates of what we see. Tom Edgington BBC Verify senior journalist The new Work and Pensions Secretary, Pat McFadden, has been speaking to broadcasters this morning where he outlined plans to double the number of youth hubs, external which are aimed at getting more young people into work or training. During an interview with Sky News McFadden acknowledged that UK youth unemployment was “too high”. According to the latest official figures, external, 621,000 young people aged 16-to-24 were unemployed in May to July. This was 3,000 more than the previous year. Although the absolute number has increased, the youth unemployment rate has fallen slightly: it’s currently at 13.8% which is down from 14.3% the year before. However, this is still much higher than the unemployment rate for everyone over 16, external, which stands at 4.7%. Youth unemployment peaked at 22.5% in 2011 following the 2008 financial crisis, according to the House of Commons Library, external. Paul Brown BBC Verify senior journalist We’re looking into footage said to show the aftermath of a strike on a building near a former market in the centre of Gaza City. In the graphic video, people can be seen digging through rubble with their hands to recover a body and body parts. The footage, posted on Instagram this morning, includes shots of some buildings which are identifiable on satellite imagery to confirm the location. Palestinian social media channels, citing hospital officials, report a death toll of 17 from the attack. The market, one of the oldest in Gaza City, was largely dismantled shortly after the war began. It is now little more than a large rubbish dump, with some encampments for displaced people nearby. Last month, press photographers captured Palestinians sifting through the rubbish in search of food. In one of these pictures a minaret of a nearby mosque can be seen, which is also visible in this morning’s footage. The Israeli military has been approached for comment. A press photograph captured people searching the dump for food – the minaret is also visible in footage we verified today Thomas Copeland BBC Verify Live journalist The BBC Verify team in Washington DC were listening to President Donald Trump’s speech at the United Nations General Assembly yesterday. It was a wide-ranging address – here’s three things he said that they fact-checked. Has Trump really‘ended seven unendable wars’? The president listed “wars” he claims to have ended as being between: Israel and Iran, Pakistan and India, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Thailand and Cambodia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, Egypt and Ethiopia and Serbia and Kosovo. A number of these “wars” lasted just days and it is unclear whether some of the peace deals will hold. While Trump claimed “talks mediated by the United States” ended a four-day conflict between India and Pakistan, the government in New Delhi has played down the role of the US. In June, the US hit nuclear sites in Iran – a move seen as ending 12 days of hostilities with Israel, but experts say there has been no permanent peace agreement.
