Pi Coin Plunges 21% After Consensus 2025 — What Could Possibly Go Wrong? 🚀🤡

by

Ah, Pi Network’s big bash at Consensus 2025 — or at least that’s what they called it — ended up being about as exciting as watching paint dry. The founder and CTO, in a rare moment of optimism, floated the idea that AI and blockchain together might make Pi Coin as popular as avocado toast. Turns out, the market had other plans. The coin, which had been doing a convincing impersonation of a rollercoaster, suddenly plummeted by 21% in a matter of hours. No need to call the crash investigators just yet, but it’s not exactly a vote of confidence, is it? 🎢💸

At the moment, you can get a Pi for the paltry sum of $0.68 — which just so happens to be over 62% less than its May high of $1.50. Yep, that’s a loss for anyone who thought this was the gold rush of the century. Experts are whispering that it could drop even lower, possibly to the $0.40 mark that was last seen in April — because nothing says stability like a coin caught in a storm of uncertainty. ☔️

Meanwhile, Dr. Kokkalis, looking very pleased with himself, revealed that Pi Network is now “completely decentralized”— whatever that means these days—and has grand plans to use blockchain for DeFi, digital identity, and a smattering of other buzzwords. He even suggested Pi could someday be the hero in healthcare, education, and e-commerce— because if you keep saying it loudly enough, surely it will become true, right? 🏥🎓🛒

What’s more, the community’s frustration is bubbling over due to the lack of concrete timelines — apparently, “soon” is no longer a useful word. The mainnet, that sacred launchpad for all blockchain dreams, failed to launch as promised, leaving everyone to wonder if the hype was just a giant game of “wait and see.” The Pi Core team, undeterred by the chaos, announced a $100 million venture capital fund called Pi Network Ventures, aimed at convincing developers to build DApps for their increasingly elusive ecosystem. 🎮💰

Yet, skeptics point out that Pi isn’t exactly the MOP of cryptocurrencies—still more like a toddler trying to walk. Community veteran Dr. Altcoin has devised a plan for recovery: assemble a VC team in 6-12 months, support developers for three to six months, and finally, by 1-2 years from now, unveil the top DApps. And if that weren’t enough, some hope that a shiny new Binance listing might rescue the value. Or at least give us a brief moment of hope before the price dives again. 📉🤞

Meanwhile, trading volume has surged by 40%, hitting a hefty $561 million — signaling that plenty of people are eager to sell, sell, sell. As long as the results stay out of sight, investor confidence is likely to remain as firm as a bowl of Jell-O, and the downward trend will probably continue. Ah, the sweet smell of crypto unpredictability. 🤷‍♂️🔮
