Yesterday's Recap: An analysis of yesterday's Pi coin crash from a retail investor's perspective
The brutal scene of the Pi coin mainnet going online yesterday can be regarded as the most vivid investor education case in the blockchain industry. This project, which once claimed to 'subvert Bitcoin,' staged a textbook-level harvesting drama in the limelight—plunging below the $1 defense line in less than two hours of trading, collectively trapping investors who positioned themselves at $3 off the exchange. Behind this liquidity trap, it exposes the suffocating survival rules of the crypto market:
First of all, the gap between traffic bubble and value realization is beyond imagination. The meticulously planned community scale of tens of millions by the project party is essentially a Ponzi warm bed of passing the buck. When the mainnet goes live and reveals the final veil, the circulating supply of less than 200 million is nothing more than a flat boat in the vast ocean of inventory held by the project party. Those speculators who expect "traffic equals value" eventually realize that they are the true liquidity.
Next, the project party's control methods have formed an industrialized harvesting chain. From the deliberate delay of KYC certification, to the short-selling cooperation in the futures market, to the violent selling in the spot market, the entire harvesting system is closely linked. The so-called 'community consensus' is nothing more than a puppet manipulated by the project party to regulate the pace of selling. When the 30-minute chart shows a waterfall-like decline, all technical analysis becomes dark humor.
What's even more deadly is that this farce confirms the cruelest truth of the crypto market: in the dark forest of zero-sum games, project parties always have bullets that are one order of magnitude more than retail investors. Those investors who fantasize about 'mooncakes' eventually become living fuel to maintain the smoothness of the coin price curve. When the thickness of the sell orders on the exchange's order book reaches the sky, the so-called value support is nothing but a self-deceptive psychological defense line.
The farcical drama has left the market not only with eternal shame on the K-line chart, but should also awaken retail investors to a clear understanding of the nature of the crypto market: in the lawless land without regulation, the traffic and consensus are nothing but baits carefully designed by the market manipulators, and most people are destined to pay the price for their greed. When the project initiates the harvesting process, even the air will become a chip for shorting.#AI Agents 板块代币普涨 #MKR & PYTH 上涨 #IP & BERA价格反弹 #PiNetwork $PI,
