A community that's involved =/= marketing
Check out the masternode distribution and it's plainly obvious to anyone who knows wtf they're talking about this is not "just a pump" or market manipulation
I spent 3 days in the the "community" what I saw was a lot of circle jerking going on, and a lot of people saying how great the community is.

@rhubarbarian you really put out some great looking stuff
Why? because of the PIVX tip bot of course. People saying nice things about one another, or the community often get tipped in PIVX.
I think this was a very clever marketing strategy by the PIVX team. However, running around in slack telling everyone how great each other is doesn't get the hard work of programming the actual product done. It does work very nicely at getting new people on the hype train though. Imagine, you join some community and just say hi really, get tipped some PIVX, do this in the bubble and the $1 worth of PIVX you got tipped is now worth $4 just for saying hi, so you go tell your mates, hey, come join the PIVX hype train they give out free PIVX when you say something positive, price is going up, so they buy some as well.
Clever marketing strat.
Anyway, the price has come back down since yesterday, if it doesn't go back up again I probably wont have to put up with too much more of this PIVX hype train nonsense until they actually do some work programming and develop the thing. That's if they can because as far as I can tell they have 20 team members listed on their website and 2 of them are actively doing actual coding work.
I think this there's at least a 20% chance that this was a developer led hype train exit strategy because they have realized how much work developing this coin is going to take.
Anyway, we will see what the future holds for the coin wont we.
