PI Army: Mad or Genius? 🤯

Abridged for the Impatient:

• Monsieur Nicolas Kokkalis, co-architect of this Pi Network – a venture both lauded and lampooned – did grace the Toronto Consensus gathering of Twenty and Twenty-Five. He spoke of blockchain baubles, decentralization dances, and AI antics, not forgetting Pi’s fervent following, naturally.
• Alas, the token native seems to have suffered yet another case of “buy the whispers, sell the pronouncements,” experiencing a most unceremonious price plunge. 📉

Why the Huzzah?

Despite a history as checkered as a harlequin’s breeches – years spent delaying the network’s grand debut and token’s liberation – Pi Network has blossomed into a project of considerable chatter within the crypto-sphere. After all, it has existed, in some guise, for half a decade, give or take. 🕰️

At the aforementioned Toronto conference, Kokkalis was quizzed on this burgeoning popularity: its wellspring, and whether the community’s fervor extends beyond Pi to decentralization as a whole.

This project’s co-founder, also the head of technology, opines that the core reason lies in the alluring concept of value capture.

“In the times to come, when automatons and intelligences artificial perform an ever-increasing share of labor, it is paramount that value not be hoarded by a select few individuals or corporations. It must be accessible to the many. And there, mes amis, is where blockchain and our humble project can strut upon the stage.”

He further declared that Pi Network’s renown can only swell if all its constituent projects strive to capture value for the masses. A noble sentiment, wouldn’t you agree? 🤔

PI Takes a Tumble

A mere week past, PI’s price embarked on a most vigorous climb, ascending from a paltry $0.6 to a respectable $1.7 in a matter of days. This dramatic ascent followed hints of a grand announcement scheduled for May the Fourteenth. Such suspense! 🎭

However, upon the revelation – a $100 million fund earmarked for ecosystem investments – PI began its descent into the abyss. Earlier today, it plummeted below $0.7 after yet another double-digit daily decline. Thus, it has effectively erased all gains from the hype-fueled rally, rendering it yet another “sell the news” spectacle. Quelle surprise! 🙄
