Pi Network Sentiment Drops 90% in a Day – Is This Bot Activity?

The Pi Network community on CoinMarketCap saw a shocking 90% drop in sentiment in just 24 hours, leaving users confused and concerned. How did things turn so bad, so fast? Was it a natural shift, a mass sell-off, or something more suspicious?

Many believe bot activity could be behind the sudden crash, especially since Pi’s price also took a hit. But with no clear proof, the mystery has only deepened.

Is this just another case of market volatility, or is something else at play? Let’s break it down.

Mass Sell-Offs or Manipulation?

Some users think the drop was caused by large-scale sell-offs, but without solid proof, the real reason remains unclear. While there’s no direct evidence of bot activity, past cases of vote manipulation in the Pi Network community have made people suspicious.

Since launching on February 20, Pi Network has faced constant scrutiny. Critics question its governance, transparency, and accessibility, while some governments have even labeled it a scam. Supporters, on the other hand, have been known to influence online polls and ratings in the project’s favor.

Strange Voting Patterns Raise Questions

One community member pointed out that Pi’s sentiment dropped drastically despite having more poll participants than Bitcoin. Yet, other platforms with similar voting systems showed no such decline. This inconsistency has led some to believe that bots may have played a role in the sudden drop.

Proving bot interference is difficult. Pi Network’s price has fallen sharply, and many users lost a significant number of tokens after missing the KYC migration deadline. At the same time, large sell-offs have contributed to the decline, so some of the negative sentiment could be real.

What’s puzzling is that CoinMarketCap is the only platform where Pi’s sentiment crashed. The platform initially refused to list Pi as one of the largest tokens by market cap but later gave in. Some believe this past conflict might have influenced how the Pi community interacts with the platform.

Pi Network supporters have organized mass voting campaigns before. When Bybit’s CEO criticized Pi, fans flooded the app with negative reviews. A similar incident happened with Binance when the exchange delayed Pi’s listing. Given this pattern, it’s unlikely that only genuine votes caused the sentiment drop.

No Clear Answers—Yet

While bot activity is a possibility, there’s no concrete proof. The sudden wave of negative votes happened too quickly, was limited to one platform, and outpaced sentiment shifts for even the biggest cryptocurrencies. However, given the price crash and investor frustration, some of the negativity could be real. For now, the truth remains uncertain.

Crypto sentiment can shift in a heartbeat – but a 90% drop overnight? That’s a mystery worth watching.
