Bybit and Ben Zhou became the target of "Pi thu" attack. |
In the cryptocurrency world, Bybit CEO Ben Zhou is one of the leaders who has expressed the strongest opposition to Pi Network. He does not trust the project model and team. At the same time, he also called for not listing Pi because he is concerned that it will harm those who do not fully understand this industry, especially the elderly customer group.
It was Ben Zhou’s contrarian views that made him the target of attacks by extremist “Pi hands”. A small portion of the project’s community of over 60 million users was enough to adversely affect Ben Zhou and Bybit.
Specifically, this exchange was recently attacked on social media and app markets. A large number of people rushed to give one-star reviews, causing the average rating for Bybit on the Google Play Store to drop to 2.7 points. Most of the outstanding comments came from Pi miners. Before Ben Zhou warned about the Pi Network project, Bybit's average rating was 4.2/5 stars.

“Poor security, hackers stole money, and even mocked Pi, so he got into trouble,” commented GH account. “The CEO speaks like a child,” commented another customer.
In fact, the Bybit hack has been proven not to be the exchange's fault. The problem arose from the issuer of the Safe multi-signature wallet. At the same time, the cryptocurrency exchange has also managed to handle the major incident, without affecting user assets. Regarding the statement against Pi Network, Ben Zhou's opinion is also supported by many KOLs in the cryptocurrency world.
Before Bybit, Binance was also another victim of “Pi thugs”. The extremist group claimed that the exchange took advantage of Pi Network, deliberately opening a voting program to attract users. In the end, Binance did not list Pi despite overwhelming support.
Binance has an average rating of just 1.5 stars, and the decline continues. Last week, the app on Google Play had a 4.7/5 star rating with over 2.2 million votes. In a short period of time, the number of reviews has increased by more than 30%, reaching 2.9 million. However, the exchange's reputation has declined.
Google has now removed negative reviews on the Binance app. The average rating has been restored to 4.4/5 stars.
According to Gummicube , apps will suffer a lot when they receive negative reviews. The amount of distribution appearing on browsers and app stores will decrease. Conversion rates will also be lower because customers are skeptical about the quality.
This extreme reaction is not new. The Pi mining community is often provoked, with large-scale cyberattacks against parties who disagree with and criticize the project.
In fact, Binance made it clear when they opened the vote that they wanted to consult the community. The decision to list the Pi Network project or not is subject to moderation and evaluation from the team according to a fixed process. This was reiterated again in the post announcing the results.
