Since its launch in 2019, Pi Network has attracted millions of users worldwide with a simple yet enticing promise: “Mine digital currency for free on your phone, and someday it’ll be worth a fortune.”
But as time passed, the project began to reveal itself as what might become the largest soft fraud in the history of digital currencies—and perhaps even the entire internet.
1. The Psychological Trap of “Free”
Pi Network built its success on the powerful psychological principle of perceived "free scarcity."
Users log into the app daily, tap a button, and collect "coins" without spending a penny.
This illusion of receiving something rare for free kept millions engaged for years—while in reality, they were gaining no real value.
2. A Hidden Pyramid Scheme
To boost mining rates, users are encouraged to invite friends.
The more referrals, the faster the mining—creating a viral growth model eerily similar to classic pyramid schemes.
The focus is on endless expansion rather than building any real, valuable product.
3. No Real Value, No Transparency, No Product
Despite its massive user base, Pi Network has failed to list its coin on any legitimate exchange.
What’s been offered instead are fake "test marketplaces" locked within its closed system (Closed Mainnet).
There’s no open-source code, no clear economic model, and no honest plan for a true launch.
4. Massive Harvesting of User Data
The Pi Network app demands intrusive permissions, including:
Access to your contacts
Location tracking
Monitoring of device usage
And yet, there’s no clear explanation of how this sensitive data will be used—or safeguarded.
If this information is ever sold or misused, it would amount to a massive exploitation of millions of users.
5. The Grand Dumping Scheme: Who Will Buy Pi?
Perhaps the most dangerous element:
The Core Team controls a massive stash of Pi coins (estimated at 20–25%).
Once the market opens, regular users, hoping to strike it rich, will buy Pi using real money—while the team quietly dumps their pre-mined coins onto the market.
This will create massive supply inflation, crashing the price—leaving ordinary users with worthless tokens while the insiders walk away with real profits.
6. Millions Wasted Their Time for Nothing
For years, millions have invested time, energy, and even strained relationships promoting Pi Network—chasing a dream of future wealth.
And what’s the outcome?
No legitimate way to sell
No real profits
No working product
Just empty promises repeated year after year.
Conclusion
Pi Network isn’t just a suspicious cryptocurrency project—it’s a sophisticated system built on psychological manipulation, exploitation of personal data, and the unpaid labor of millions.
If it unfolds as predicted, Pi Network could go down as the largest soft fraud in history by the sheer number of victims.
