Pi Coin price has tanked 33% in hours following the Pi Network announcement of launching a $100 million VC fund, as the Pioneer community screams of betrayal with no functioning decentralized applications (DApps). From the highs of $1.5 earlier this week, the Pi cryptocurrency has already crashed 45%, losing most of its weekly gains.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, the Pi Core team announced the launch of $100 million VC Fund \u2013 Pi Network Ventures<\/a> \u2013 to fund projects and startups to build decentralized applications (DApps) on the platform. However, the Pioneer community believes that the Pi Core team has betrayed them with no functioning DApps on the platform so far. Dr Altcoin, a popular voice within the Pi Community, writes:<\/p>\n \u201cToday the Pi Core Team announcement about Pi Network Ventures is nothing short of a betrayal to the Pioneer community, the very people who built this project from the ground up over the past six years. We waited, we believed, and we contributed under the promise that time was needed to develop a strong ecosystem with 100 real, functioning DApps. Now, after six long years, we are told that the DApps the Core Team envisions still do not exist \u201c.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Dr Altcoin has also accused the Pi Core team of neglecting the core community members and undervaluing their contribution. According to Dr. Altcoin, more than 94% of Pioneers, who helped build and sustain the network, failed to acquire 1,000 Pi tokens due to the Core Team\u2019s refusal to adequately reward referral bonuses.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is not just unfair; it\u2019s a clear sign that the community\u2019s efforts have been undervalued,\u201d Dr. Altcoin remarked<\/a>. The Pioneer community comprises 70 million strong members across 200 countries. Dr. Altcoin stated that Pi Network\u2019s lofty global ambitions have come at the cost of compromising the community.<\/p>\n \u201cThe silence from the Pi Core Team on protecting the interests of its community is deafening. Pioneers are not just users \u2014 we are the stakeholders, the foundation, and the reason Pi Network exists,\u201d Dr. Altcoin emphasized.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Amid the massive rally to $1.5 earlier this week, Pi Coin\u2019s market cap soared to $11.12 billion, overtaking Litecoin<\/a> and Bitcoin Cash. However, the hype around the announcement has faded quickly as the altcoin lost nearly $5 billion in valuation in just the last three days.<\/p>\n Pi Network price<\/a> is trading 32% down today $0.8881, with daily trading volumes shooting 35% to $951 million. Another reason behind Pi Coin dip today is the 5.2 million unlock, and thus, traders are expecting some volatility before it recovers past $1 once again.<\/p>\n The post Pi Coin Crashes 33% As Pi Network Community Screams \u2018Betrayal\u2019<\/a> appeared first on CoinGape<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Pi Coin price has tanked 33% in hours following the Pi Network announcement of launching a $100 million VC fund, as the Pioneer community screams of betrayal with no functioning decentralized applications (DApps).
